The Army is still in need of chap
lains. The ultimate plan is to have
one for every 1900 officers and men.
1t wants a special kind of chaplain
a sturdy, outstanding, brotherly man
between the ages of 81 and 45-who
cares good deal more about the well
fare of soldiers than about distinctions
in creeds. At Camp Zachary Taylor
near Louisville, KY, the Army is con-
Quoting a school for chaplains. The
course covers five weeks and new
classes are formed at about an inter-
val of a week after the current class
is graduated. Applicants must pass
physical test prescribed by the local
draft board. While at the school the
student-chaplain receives free subsist-
ence, lodging and uniform and the pay
of a first-c,ass private, $4,000 per
month, with mileage home at the rate
of three and one-half cents per mile
upon the completion of his course. II
appointed he takes the rank and pay of
a first lieutenant of the National Army,
$4,000 a year and $4,000 abroad. The
next class begins August 23 Appli-
cants should apply directly to The Ad-
jutant General of the Army, who will
furnish all necessary information.
There are now about thirty-one col
ored chaplains In the several branches
of the Army.
