Avoid Old Occupations

In furtherance of the intention
of many young men not intending
to return to the occupations they
Ihe,d before they entered the SER
vice was the fact that many tried
to get out of work which they were
best suited for, and it was only
upon discovery of their officers
that they We're specially fitted for
some sort of work that they were
forced to do work along those
lines.
In one of the Southern training
camps where several thousand
young men were being fitted for
special work it was only by the
most forcible talk upon the part
of the officers that they were made
to see that they would be of more
benefit to the winning of the war
by keeping ON with the work they
had been doing in civil life than
choosing another trade which was
being taught at the camp.
In the ol:t fit there were nearly
100 :.Ten who had been plumbers
'ln civil life. Fully "a per cent of
them signed up with their officers
for motor mechanic work and the
others choose wireless telegraphy.
Out of about 25 wireless tele-
graphers only one signifed that
occupation as his choice of the
many trades which were being
taught. This same condition pre-
vailed in nearly all branches of
the service, officers say.
Another mistaken idea of the re-
turning soldier that has crept into
the minds of the average citizen
who has been forced TO remain at
home is that the soldier upon his
being mustered out of the service
will be very docile creature, who
at the slightest word will bow,
'scrape and salute. Nothing could
be farther from the truth. Instead
Of the docile creature he will find
a strong, healthy, respectful young
man with new ideas and vig0r
enough to put them across.
For the buck private in the AM
erican army gets whole lot bet
ter treatment from his officers
than does the buck private in any
other army in the world.

to do, and no amount of planning
'on the part of any one else lis likely
ito make i'm change his mind. In
the first place, he has been under
1the strict restraint of military dis
Ivcipline for several months, and
when he is released the sudden
change lis likely to make him feel
his Importance. This is especially
so after he has listened to the
praise of admiring relatives and
friends who were either unable or
unwilling to be among the more
than 100000 young men who
were in the service.
Then, too, the training which
ahey underwent has been of great
benefit to them, mentally and ply
sically, and positions that they
could mot hold before they entered
the service they will be we'll quail
fled to fill. This is particularly
true OF the men VINO were in the
technical branches of the service.
Talk Of Future Plans
A favorite pastime in the even
lngs was the planning of the men
who said that after they got out
OF the army they were going in for
farming. And it was surprising
the great number who had ambi-
tlons to be farmers. Of course,
there was always some one
in the company who had been
a farmer or who knew some one
who was, and if one had even the
slightest intention of trying his
hand at farming their lurid ac-
counts of the large profits and t. e
independent life which thc iural
residents led was surN-..o convince
them that a fe.Tizer's life was the
only life.
-. nother reason that probably
had an influence in turning their
thoughts to farming was the out
door life. After a few weeks in
the army the average soldier be-
came aware that there were worse
things in life than getting up at
5 O'Clock in the morning, and in
another month he was beginning
to feel the beneficial effects Of
working in the field. Of course, it
was quite a change from the
steam-heated office of the winter,
of the electric c-fan-cooled, ice
water office of the summer, but the
men became accustomed to it, and
the majority of them liked it.
Those whc did not like it were free
to confess that the work was doing
them great deal Of good physic-
ally.
These men have learned how 10

the least possible equipmet in the

the assumption is that the division has
