There are many American boys who
are being robbed Of educational adj
vantages and practical training that
would fit them for success. Some of
these will never have the advantages
as long they remain at home. To
such as these the offerings of the
regular army should make quick APP
peal.
Why not get those advantages while
being paid from $4,000 a month up
and receiving your board, home, cloth
ing and medical and dental treatment
at Uncle Sans expense? Thousands
have done it in the past, while hum
dreds have managed to save large
sums during their terms of service.
Thousands have gone out of the army
and met with success in different vo-
cations; thousands have remained in
service for thirty years and then re
tired with large savings and three
fourthts of their regular pay for bal
ance of their lives. And they came
out men, mentally and physically. And
from now on these men will be re-
spected and assisted to an even great
er extent than has been the rule here
tofore.
Following are some of the branches
of the army for which men are wanted.
together with the requirements Of
each:
The infantry. the largest fighting
arm. which demands youngsters of
nerve and offers rapid advancement.
The cavalry, which calls for men of
equal courage and knowledge of or in
terest in horses.
The artillery. which of necessity de-
velopes men of highest type. Men are
wanted for both field and coast serv-
ice.
The engineers, which converts green
men into experienced civil engineers,
fitting them for the most difficult
work.
The medical department which spe-
cializes in all forms of medical and
surgical training.
The signal corps, which requires and
developes skilled mechanics. electri-
clans, wiremen and cablemen.
The quartermaster corps, which does
more than any other branch of the
army to develop successful business
men.
The ordnance corps. another highly !
specialized branch of the service.
The tank corps, Great 'em roughs
which wants men who are either
skilled in or interested in mechanics,
and particularly gasoline engines.
Motor transport corps, in which
high-class auto and truck drivers are
needed.
Each man enIisting has the privilege
of saying what branch he wishes to
serve in and where he will serve-in
the United States or abroad.
Among the infantry garrisons to
which men are now being assigned
are those in the United States. Hawaii.
Philippine Islands, Panama, China, and
Alaska.
Look 'em over and take your choice.
