CHANCES IN TUE ARMY.

The United States army IS making
a big drive for enlistments, and ii
advertises that $4,000 men are wanted
at once for service with the army of
occupation in Europe. Also there is
drive on for six thousand men. all
branches, for border service.
The army methods are apparently
to undergo very decided changes. The
attempt is wisely to be made to have
the service made more educational
There will be a patriotic duty on the
part of each state and every locality
to furnish fair share of men for
the service.
1t would seem. however. with the
excellent opportunities offered, there
should be plenty of enlistments. with
out urging men to go. Naturally the
ordinary young man. who is trained
for some calling, or finds some good
opening at home. is reluctant to enter
the service except in the case of
emergency.
But there is a considerable class of
young men with an adventurous or
restless temperament for whom army
life as planned offers a chance which
should be carefully considered. These
boys are apt to feel vaguely dissatis-
fled with home conditions. They
wander away without settled pur-
pose, except a vague hope to find a
fortune. Usually they end up much
worse off than if they had remained
at home.
The young man who is not satisfied
to settle down at home, or who has no
special vocational training or hopeful
opening, does very well to enter the
army. 1t will give him taste of
travel. In a few years he will be far
more likely to settle down into some
permanent occupation. He will re-
ceive instruction in many trades, Civ
ing him the certainty of earning a
good living. And the boys who final
~ decide to remain in the army per-
manently have the satisfaction of Civ
ing patriotic service of the highest
value, and of entering a calling worthy
of the greatest respect.
