Civilian Branches of the Army and Navy Are in Need of Thousands
 of Employees.
ENGINEERS ARE NEEDED
All Kinds ofa Trained Help Can Secure Positions by Applying to
 POStmaSters.

WASHINGTON, May 2. - How come of our forces in France if the organization at home for produc- ing the material of war should failf Charging armies and thunderine battleships are easy to visualize, but not so easy to accomplish There can be no going lover the top" no paralyzing broadsides, un- less, to sustain the blow, there is material in abundance to back up the human effort
 Right now the civilian branches of the Army and Navy are in urgent need of thousands of highly train ed workers, and before this year passes these branches must be in creased by at least 20,000. The Ordnance Department of the Army needs great numbers of men who are trained as mechanical engineers mechanical and other kinds of draftsmen. chemists, metallurgists and the like. Literally thousand! of inspectors are also wanted for the work of passing upon the quality of everything conceivable in the way of ordnance, ammunition, and other munitions. For office work the Ord nance Department wants a great many statisticians, accountants, eX- perts and assistants in business ad- ministration, and clerks trained in special lines, such as clerks quail fled in business administration, in dex and catalog clerks, and clerks qualified in statistics or accounting The Quartermaster Corps of the Army is in need of several thous and examiners and inspectors oi everything that enters into the per sonal and camp equipment of the soldier. Passenger and freight rate clerks are also wanted in this branch The Signal Corps of the Army is short of acronautical me. chanical draftsmen. The Navy has an unlimited number of places fol draftsmen. The Navy has an un- limited number of places for drafts men of various kinds and for Q long list of technical workers. Practically all branches of the ser vice are in need of stenographers, typists, bookkeepers, statistical clerks, multigraph operators, and calculating machine operators.
 The United States Civil Service Commission, whose duty it is to fill these civilian positions, urges, as a patriotic duty that qualified per sons offer their services for this work, work vital to pushing the war. Good salaries are offered, and the work is all in the United States. With the exception of few of the clerical positions, applicants will not be assembled for written examina. tions, but will be rated upon their education, training, and experience as shown in their applications, sup plemented by corroborative evidence Representatives of the Civil Serv- ice Commission at the post offices in all cities are prepared to furnish definite information and application blanks
