METER December 10 no more applications will

catlonal training last exhaustive effort Is being
made to get in touch with every soldier who might
desire to receive vocational education and II is be-
lieyed that every means has been employed to In
form every man Of his opportunity, and that the
government cannot be charged with leaving any
stone untufned toward Ills end. Congress set the
date for closing the offer Of the government, and
December 1e is considered final
II there should be one soldier who has not yet
made up his mind and who in these last days OF
opportunity still hangs in the balance regarding
his application for training, II would be well for
him even at this late date to seize chance that
will never again be open. Everything that is ad-
vantageous comes the way of the man who receives
vocational training. Not only does the govern
ment give complete vocational education Of the
greatest value, but 1t finds positions for each man
as lie finishes his training. Employers give pre-.
ferences to ex-soldiers frequently making applica-
ton for men who have had the training, so there
is no difficulty about work as soon as graduated
The Red Cross and the Veterans Bureau have
co:operated largely in locating men and getting to,
them the information regarding the training. Even
the most remote points have been visited person-
ally, and the PRESS everywhere has endeayored TO
assist 1t does not seem possible that one ex-
soldier can have remained uniformed regarding
this opportunity.
