BLACKMAN CARTOON
 ID AID TANK CORPS
Men Subject to Draft Can. not Be Accepted Tn Corps
 After May 10

The army tank corps, which is now being greatly augmented, will use the cartoon which Blackman had in The Age Herald last Wednesday morning in it's recruiting work.
 Lieut.. Worth C. Peacock, who is in charge of the recruiting in Birmingham, yesterday received a message from Col. l, c. Wsloorn, stationed in Washington, who is director of the tank corps, asking that he procure the cartoon and deliver It to Captain Cunning of the corps, who passed through Birmingham yesterday. Consent was gladly given to make such use of it as would help in the recruiting service.
 Lleulsnant Peacock announced yester- day that fine success in the recruiting work is being met in Birmingham, but that it has been decided that no regis tered men can be accepted for service in this corps after May 10. This is due to the fact that new call has been issued for the selectmen. Men subject to draft, however, can get into the tank corps if they apply before that date
 More than 200 men from this district have already enlisted for the tank corps. Lieutenant Peacock issued the following yesterday:
 All applications by enlisted men must be in for tank corps by May 10. Big draft 10 begin at that date and no more applications received during the follow ing 15 days. All interested in getting into this very desirable branch of the service had better take advantage of this oppor- tunity before you are called by the board
 The r1en who enter now will most likely 10 see early service abroad, and the chance of promotion is exceptionally good for two reasons. The first is that men entering now are in on the ground floor, and have everything ahead of them In other words, each man makes more noncommissioned officers than in any other branch of the service.
 Get in tank and treat 'em rough. Men not registered are also eligible"
