SEEK men FOR
A new SERVICE
Camp Grant Action Indicates Plans
Are Forming for Salvaging
of Europe.

Camp Grant. Rockford, Ill, Nov.
"a new interest has struck Camp
Grant. Scores of selectives are be-
ing called for physical and mental
examinations and told to hold them
selves in readiness for service
overseas in the great reconstruc-
ton army which will lend a hand
IN the typical Yankee manner to
salvage Europe.
For the first time the idea of con-
struction has eclipsed that of de-
struction in the minds of selective
soldiers here and enthusiasm in
the prospects of new duty overseas
spread like wildfire. Scores of lin
tied service soldiers have complet-
ed the special examination and
many have been reclassified for
general service as the result of
their astonishing physical develop
ment since coming to camp.
Officers and men in camp are
waiting for the presidents armi-
stice announcement to launch a
peace celebration which they de-
clare will make civilian demonstra-
tons look like & bread line. Gen
eral E. H. PluuYmer yesterday told
Rockford business men that he will
gladly assign all Camp Grant to
help celebrate when the official an
nouncement is made, and Rockford
is looking forward to a military
spectacle unequaled in the camps
history.
