Getting Into the
Service
-
By ROY MASON
of The VigiLanfeS

The doctor said no with all the final
fly with which our medical men ex-
aiming candidates for the army can
pronounce this word. The rejected
candidate turned away, profoundly de-
jected, his mind in chaos because all
his plans were upset. He was over
draft age, but he had been so CONN.,
dent that he could pass. He was OF
no use in this war, he reflected bit
terly. He might as we'll be cripple
or blind for all that he could do to
help.
1t had seemed so simple to pay all
his debts, arrange his affairs, put MS
surplus into Liberty Bonds and the
odd change into War Savings Stamps
and then enlist. And now they
wouldn't have him. All on account
of an infinitesimal heart murmur.
"There's no use sending one man 70
the front whom two will have to carry
back" the doctor had .said decidedly.
AS he slouched down Michigan ave-
nue. in Chicago, dropping in mind and
body, he noticed button on the coat
lapel of six-foot stranger. 1t was not
Liberty Bond button, nor Red
Cross button. The stranger stopped to
gaze out over Lake Michigan and he
managed to read "War Camp Conmu-
nifty Service upon it. The stranger
looked up, saw him reading, and gave
him a quick appraising glance.
A Ray of Sunshine.
"Know about it," he asked.
"NO" the detected man answered
half heartedly. What is it,"
Great stuff" his new acquaintance
informed. Little old war job the
Recreation Association of America
took on when the soldiers and sailors
began springing up over night like
mushrooms. It's tied up with the War
Department Commission for Training
Camp Activities"
The man who had been turned down
by the doctor pricked up his ears.
"What do you do?" he wanted to
know.
The six-fOOter grinned.

they've left, for chaperons. Then we

Need Men Like Him.
The man who had been refused
chance in the army grabbed him by
the sleeve.

pose legislation for 1920 and the COM

both officers and men. however, as
nothing more than an ordinary march.
The latest reports on the movements
of the Germans indicate they are re-
firing liz full compliance with the
terms of the armistice. 1t is reported
that in some towns on the line of the
enemy retreat there are piles of thou
sands of rifles thrown down by Ger
man soldiers, who declared they would
not fight any more regardless of the
prov0catiOr.
When the Americans entered Long

aviatOrs, Vernon Remington and Ar
