ONE DAY ENLISTMENTS
Applicants Can Now Process and
Enter in One Day at Dover Office

Enter In One Day at Dover Office
One day for processing and en-
listment of applicants is possible,
it was announced by 1st Sgt. Will
liam F. Oakes, Station Command
er of the Dover Recruiting Office.
Formerly previous Service men
could get one day service if he so
desired as it was not necessary to
fingerprint former members of the
Army. Now it is possible to pro-
cess and enlist an applicant in one
day, if they apply to the recruit
ing office in time for typing the
necessary papers and records, be-
fore sending them to Fort Dix, N.
j., for physical examination before
enlistment. However in some cas-
es there could be delay as men
who are under eighteen years of
age must get their parents consent
before enlisting. Sergeant Oakes
stated that before this time delay
was caused by the necessity of
having the records checked by the
Bureau of Identification. The fing-
erprints had to go through the
mails and delay was caused by the
time it took them to and from the
Dover office. New arrangements
have been made whereby contact
with the Bureau of Identification
direct has been made and eliminat-
ed the necessary time required for
their return to the Dover Office.
Number Increasing
Men enlisting now are increasing
in number due to the provisions of
the CT Bill of Rights, Sergeant
Oakes asserted. Men enlisting on
or before october 5, 1916, are as
sured the full advantages of the CT
Bill. They will get full credit of
the provisions of the Bill for their
complete enlistment. However,
men enlisting after october will
not be out as far as the benefits
are concerned. They get the bene-
fits but only for the duration of the
emergency, when the Emergency is
declared over, though their enlist
ments are not, their credit for the
CT Bill ceases. For one month in
the Army, one month of credit is
given. After ninety days twelve
months is added to the total of
credit earned. Do not delay, as
sure yourself the full advantages
of the CT Bill of Rights. Your
