RECRUITS STILL
COMING TO FILL
PLACES in ARMY

Major W. A. Mercer, Recruiting
Officer, states that the rush of re-
cruits still continues, the reason prob
ably being the news of American
troops in action in France. The
Aviation Section, Signal Corps, draws
most of the men, as it offers them a
chance to work at their trades.
Among the many Engineer regiments
now being recruited is the Mining
Service. For this organization the
following skilled workmen are need
ed: Drillmen, miners, muckers, clerks.
topmen, tinbermen, linemen, electro
clans, fan operators, tracklayers,
hoistmen, windlass men, powder men.
pump men, surveyors, chain men.
cooks, cook helpers, blacksrniths,
horseshoers, foremen and shift bosses,
buglers.
The Quartermaster Corps, Engineers.
Aviation Section. Signal Corps, are all
open to men who wish to work at
their trades and any man wishing to
do so should bring a letter of rec
concentration with him to the nearest
Army Recruiting Station. The Field
Artillery is nearly full, but the Coast
Artillery defenses of Long Island
Sound and Narragansett Bay are still
in want of men, and the First Con-
necticut Infantry, in camp at the
Yale Field, is still taking men, Among
the Engineer regiments are the Gas
and Flame Service, Pioneer Regf-
ments Quarry, Construction. Survey
ing and Printing, Shop and Supply,
