Many Opportunities.

There is q list of 1877 occupations
where the demand for men in the
War Department constantly ex-
ceeds the supply.
A pressing need exists in the
Army for men experienced in hand
ling mules. and before all future
needs are met q recruiting cam.
paign may become necessary. No
difficulty has been experienced in
getting men who can and handle
horses, blacksmiths are scarce.
There is a constant demand for
butchers, and cooks are greatly
needed. In several technical
branches, particularly the Engineers,
men for the higher positions are
plentiful but the workers for the
ranks are scarce Experienced
mechanics. especially those familiar
with automobiles. are always in
demand.
More interpreters than can be
used have applied for positions
with the War Department and ap.
plications for commissions as Army
chaplains are also in excess of the
need. The excess totals thousa DIS
in each case. Clerks for general
work are plentiful, but there is
demand for specialists. At present
there is a surplus of dentists and
pharmacists.
