FEW APPLICATIONS LISTED
FOR FEDERAL CLERKSHIPS
Small Number Appearing Yesterday for
Examination May Indicate Less Un-
employment Than Was Reported.

Reports from the country that
scarcely a thousand men yesterday
took the examination for first-grade
| clerks in the federal service. being
conducted in 500 cities and towns by
the Civil Service Commission. led gov
ernment officials here to conclude that
perhaps unemployment does not pre-
vail to any alarming extent.
About 400 men. 90 per cent of whom
are discharged soldiers. reported at
the old Central High School building
yesterday to take the examination here.
showed that of the men taking the
examination elsewhere, only about IS
per cent were soldiers.
Since the examination had been wide
ly advertised. especially in the camps
where soldiers are being demobflized.
the small turn out" for the examina-
tion was in one sense disappointing to
civil service officials.
In line with it's policy of helping
the returned men get jobs with the
government If they desire them and
are qualified, the Civil Service Commits
sion left no step unturned to acquaint
the men with today's examination. 1t
was announced in 100 camps and forts
and in 5000 cities and town Of the coun-
try.
THE comparatively small number
of men reported to be taking the
examination would seem to show no
lack of employment" said one official,
commenting upon the returns.
Accepted as "Straw."
The examination yesterday is re-
Earded as small straw showing
which way the wind blows in the
great process leading up to crystal
, lization of the civil service in the Dis
trict of Columbia. This crystalliza-
tion is expected to be consummated
next October. at which time officials
will know pretty accurately what the
composition of the federal service
here is going to be.
Not until this crystallization takes
place can the size of the register Of
federal employees here be accurately
stated. There have been many guesses

|SW0PE ANSWERS
JOE CHENAULT
Says Chenault Tried To Evade
Army Service and That Har-
din Is Opposed to Extra
Pay for Soldiers
Mr.. Joe P. Chenault,

Mr.. Joe P. Chenault, .zsH
Atty. at Law.
Richmond, Ky.
Dear Sir:-
Some few days ago l answered all
OF the important questions of a letter
you sent me but as to the pueril
questions contained in tile letter YOU
published in the Register on Satur-
day last, they need no answer or re-.
!utatlon because they are not issues
IN the campaign or they bear their
own condemnation.
You forgot to state the fact how
ever, that you plead every exemption
to. 2N)id military service while the.
other boys were doing their part.
Y!on orgot to state that you plead
the cs1ice Of City Attorney as ground
for exemption and that the only time.
you we're in the army was from,
Augu1t to December. You failed to.
ste.tc hat it took the district board TO-
put .IIu in the service even as a
private. You know and knew at the,
time you wrote that letter that never
served in the Quartermaster Corps
and you also knew that I was in the
Infantry and was in command of a
Machine Gun Battalion at the date of
my discharge I am calling on YOU
to prove your assertion in that par
ticular and defy you to do so by the
properly authenticated records of the
Army or War Department, and if
you are the kind of man I hope you
are you will have the honesty and
fairness to say through the news
papers that you were mistaken or
misinformed in that particular. You
also know that Judge Hardin in his
speech at Columbia said that he
could not promise the soldiers in adj
vance that he would support legisla-
tion in favor of extra pay for them
and yet you say you think they should
have it.
If you're simply seeking newspaper
publicity by your brain storm of
words and poverty of thought, I
would suggest that you secure it by
addressing yourself to facts and seek
ing it through other channels
rather than by addressing yourelf to
those who are busily engaged in hon.
orable pursuits.
