C.C.C. Boys Safe
From Army Duty
Cannot Be Indicted
Into Military Service,
Head Tells Mothers

The Civilian Conservation Corps,
which is about to recruit 10000
requirements, offered assurance to-
day that enrolment in the corps
would not entail military service.
I'VE want every mother in Amer
lea to know" said an aide Of Rob-
ert Fechner, the c. c. c. director,
that if her son is among the &C
cepted October volunteers, he will
not be put behind gun.
The c c c. can not be in
Quoted into the armed service Of
the United States"
The conflict in Europe, officials
said. had brought questions as to
whether the C. c. c. might be
pressed into a role similar to the
youth movement in Germany.
Contrast With German Setup.
Declaring it would not, the Off
Gals aid the organizations were
not alike in major respects.
The German labor service con-
scripts all youths aged II to 13 for
six months of government labor and
pre- military training" one said
after which it puts them. automat-
ically and arbitrarily, under arms.
The c. c. c. accepts voluntary
aspirations from boys of similar age
for six months camp work with pay
and vocational education, after
which they are sent back into the
general population with a view to
jobs in private industry"
No C. C. C. boy, officials declared
has any military commitment. His
nearest approach to army life is a
uniform. ordinary camp discipline
standing at attention when the flae
| is lowered at evening, and work i,
groups approximating the peace
! time size of Army companies.
Possible Congress Action.
After December 81, 1899, the camps
will be commanded by civilian
officers instead of Reserve officers
of the Army.
If the United States became en-
gagged in war. this official said, the
C. c. c. could become involved
only by act of Congress designating
it as unit of preparedness or Of
active duty"
He expressed the opinion that, ir
addition to other considerations
Congress would be unwilling to single
out the C. G. c. to bear arms lest
it put the burden of defense on the
poor.

Submarine Sighted
so Miles Off Cape Cod
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
BOSTON, Sept. 1.-THE fishing
schooner Frances C. Denehy. dock
ing at the fish pier today, reported
sighting an unidentified submarine
on Georges Banks-about so miles
east of Cape Cod-last Wednesday.
Declaring submarines never before
had been seen on the fishing
grounds, veteran fishermen said the
submersible was sighted at 9 am.
and again two hours later. They
said there were many shoals on the
Georges which would make under
water travel of submarine
hazardous.
A submarine sighted in Nantucket
Sound by the Pollock Rip lightship
on Thursday was believed to have
been an American craft.
Navy officials said no American
undersea craft on trial of the New
England coast would normally be
operated on Georges Banks.
