There is a list of 1877 occupations
where the demand for men in the war
department constantly exceeds the sup
ply.
A pressing need exists in the army
for men experienced in handling mules,
and before all future needs are met a
recruiting campaign may become neces-
sary. No difficulty has been expert
enced in getting men who can buy and
handle horses, but blacksmiths are
scarce.
There is a constant demand for
butchers, and cooks are greatly need
ed. In several technical branches,
particularly the engineers, men for the
higher positions are plentiful. but the
workers for the ranks are scarce. Ex-
perienced 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 applications for
commissions as army chaplains are
also in excess of the need. The excess
totals thousands 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.

Men of selective service age who
leave the United States to evade mil
itary duty will have to stand trial on
charges of violations of the selet'ive
service act when they return to the
country, according to the department
of justice, even though they do not re-
turn until after the war.
The department has at hand infor'
nation from which complete lists may
be prepared of all men who have left
the country to avoid service, says a
recent statement authorized by the
attorney general.
