a hot fight in which the American

the kaiser under long range obscrva-

"The kaiser's disease is paranoia,"
he continued. "He presents every fca-

Many Trained Workers
Are Needed by
Army and Navy


The civilian branch of the Army
and Navy are in need of thousands
of highly trained workers, and before
the end of 1913 these branches must
be increased by at least 10000, ac-
cording to the Civil Service Commits
sion.
The Ordnance Department of the
Army needs large numbers of me-
chanical engineers, craftsmen, chem
lists, and metallurgists. Thousands of
inspectors are wanted to pass on the
quality Of ordnance, ammunition, and
other supplies. For office work sta
tisticians, accountants, assistants in
business administration, and specially
trained clerks are needed
The Quartermaster Corps wants
several thousand examiners and in
spectors, and passenger and freight
clerks are needed. The Signal Corps
is short of craftsmen.
The Navy has an unlimited number
Of places for craftsmen, and long
list of positions for technical workers.
Practically all branches of the serv-
ice need stenographers, typists, book
keepers and clerks.

Samples are regularly collected for
chemical analysis in the Government
laboratories.
When the meats arrive at the Army
stations they are again inspected
either by inspectors of the Bureau of
Animal Industry or by veterinarian

Recent reports from commanding
