CIVIL SERVICE Jobs
F0RD|SCHARGED yANKS

Washington. June 21.--+Although
there Is desire on the part of the
congress, the heads of executive de-
partments. and the civil service com
mission to recognize In all proper
ways the claims OF returning SOL
diers, sailors and marines to en-
ployment in the classified civil SER
vice, the civil service commission
feels that in order to avoid misap-
prehension certain facts should be
brought to the attention OF the men.
The law provides for certain pref
erences In appointment in favor OF
discharged soldiers, sailors and ma
rines. II should be understood, how
ever, that preference claimants must
qualify in open competitive exami-
nations unless they left the classi-
fled civil service to enter the mill
tary or naval service.
These examinations are announced
from time to time to meet the needs
OF the service. They must be adver-
tised for sufficient time to give
them due publicity; then the papers
must be rated. registers established,
and claims Of preference passed up
on.
An act OF congress OF February
25S 1919, makes mandatory the re-
instatement to their former positions
of all former government employees
who were drafted or who enlisted
in the military service OF the United
States in the war with Germany up
on their application and II they have
received an honorable discharge and
are qualified for the work.
