One million three hundred thousa nd aliens will leave this country shortly and return to their own countries.

EFFORT TO SECURE
 ENLlSTMENTS IN NORWICH

The war deparJnaent~is endeavoring . to interest the boys Of NorT1eh ana vicinity in the motor transport corps. 9 valuable. arm of the service. as has been demonstrated in the great war just ended. A strong effort is being made to secure enlistments for the M T. C. in this vicinity.
 The business of operating motor transportation is technical one. and depends upon personnel possessing special knowledge and skill in high degree. Even fer operating the vehi- eles. skill is essential. OF their main ence in two extentive military opera tions has shown that even under the best road conditions skilled mainte- nance is vital to any prolonged effort. and as the road conditions grow worse the inipertance of maintenance steadi- fly ircrea ses. Maintenance depends wholly upon skilled mechanics and craftsmen, from 9 wide variety of fun peace time diners only in that finan- -cia1 economy becomes the impelling motive, instead of economy in man. power and human life.
 Since the schools are created pri- uiafily for the benefit of the corps, and as means of making the latter efficient, it is naturally not contem plated that large part Of the enlist voted to school work. Men of all grades of ability. experience, skill. ed ucation and intelligence will doubtless be enlisted. Every man will receive training of some sort, The amount and type of training received by each man will necessarily be conditioned by his ability to receive and profit by it. Those who come to the corps with no trade and little education cannot expect their handicap to be removed. But they can be assured of being trained far beyond where they entered and of being given 9 chance to be- come efficient in some vocation in every case.
