The Engineer Corps.
You will frequently see the other
five staff branches IN operation, how
ever, throughout your army life.
The corps OF engineers arc the
skilled workmen of the army They lay
out permanent camps and entrench-
ments build and repair military roads,
railroads, and bridges; dig saps and
mines under tht enrmy'S trenches and
take care Of other work which requires
technical skill Of this character.
Theoretically the engineer corps is

practice they arc often called upon 10

The Signal Corps.
At one time the signal corps trans
miied messages chiefly through thy
use OF flags, lanterns. photographs
(mirrors so arranged as to refled and
flash rays Of light), and the like. Then
came a period during which it was
chiefly concerned with laying down
and operating telegraph and telephone
lines and this is still one OF lis most
important duties. However, the wire
less is becoming more and more i'm
portani, even on the battlefield.
A first.class signalman is expert
with all these various methods. He
is also = good horscman, since he must
be able to move about rapidly. His
duties may frequently carry him int
the battle line and into other dangcc-
Gus positions, and he must know how
to defend hamself; his chief weapon i
the pistol. There is no branch OF tn
service in which n mans intelligence
initiative and technical skill count 10
more.
The signal corps of the American
army includes the aviation section
which has grown to be OF such vita
importance. The bSt-known types o
airplaneS are the scouting machine
which goes out TO get information BY
flying over the cnemy'S lines tn,
