But it 4 must be done in order that "the 4 4 world may be a safe place for 4 4 democracy." That means a safe. 4 4 place for ordinary peaceful peo- 4 4 pie to live in. It must be a world 4 1 4 in which no czar or kaiser can 4 4 order ten million men to slaugh- 4 4 ter thoir neighbors. 4 ■ 4 You and your children will 4 l •> draw the dividends of peace, se- 4 ' 4 curity and prosperity when the 4 4 job is done. To draw them hon- 4 4 estly you mutt be a shareholder 4 ! 4 in the enterprise. 4 4 Hundreds of thousands of 4 4 American boys will risk their 4 4 Ilves in doing tills job for YOU. 4 4 YOU can make the job easier 4 4 for them, safer and quicker by 4 4 lending Uncle the money to 4 4 equip them The more money 4 4 the fewer tear*; the : dol- 4 4 lars the less blood. 4 4 This loan to Uncle Sam will 4 4 fail if we ordinary folks do not 4 4 put it over. You can get a bond 4 4 for as little as SSO. You can 4 4 pay for it in weekly install- 4 4 installments. Any state or na- 4 4 tional bank in your town will 4 4 help you buy it. and charge you 4 4 nothing for the help. 4 4 This loan must go over big or 4 4 every kaiseriie will chuckle with 4 4 glee, the Americans will get 4 4 and deserve the name of “slack- 4 4 ers." We wage earners and folks 4 .4 with small incomes must put it 4 4 over, and we must do it NOW. 4 l 4 Every day's delay handicaps 4 4 the nation. So go to it. Be a 4 .4 full partner of Uncle Sam in the 4 4 biggest job he ever undertook. 4 •J eje eje ejs •*-. A cj* ej« t|» ijs A GREAT SUCCESS (Continued from Pare One) shire; John Edmiston.

AN EXCITING LIFE is That Ottered hy the Signal Reserve Corps of the Army. MANY MEN NEEDED Good Pay is Assured Men Who Have Some Electrical Knowledge. — tl'nltc.t I'less Service' I Chicago. June 1) -Telegraphers, radio operators ami linemen are needed in ' unlimited numbers" by the Signal Enlisted Reserve Corps. Central Army Headquarters announced today. Several companies have been completed throughout the Central Department, but additional units must be recruited immediately to keep Uncle Sam in touch with his first army of 500,001). I This branch of the service is op. n both to amateur and professional operators. Likewise to the man who is of electrical turn of mind. Electrical engineers, electricians, inside wire men. instrument repairers, etc., will li nd a special niche where they iiii-y continue in the line of work for which they are best adapted. i The amateur radio or More operator "ho has mastered the rudimentary principle of instruments, sending mid receiving can. with training be developed into a valuable signalmen. Th" fact that h" is an amateur does not disqualify him. The same is true of men who have a smattering of electrical knowledge. Candidates must not over-estimate their capabilities, however, when making application for enlistment. In : i he end they fool none but themselves, when they seek to hoodwink the government as to ability. - I Because of its speciliaz-d nature, few people have more than a hazy idea just "hat functions the Sign?': Corps' performs. Many a red-blooded youngster who is fitted for electrical work of some kind, passes up the Signal branch of the service because he believes he can see more real action in the infantry or artillery. When this same young man arrives at the. first line trenches he is surprised to find radio am! other signalmen already on the job, establishing communication with headquarters somewhere behind the lines. Had not the Marin -s already copyrighted the slogan, the Signal Corps might well lay claim to “First info action.” I In addition to maintaining commo n cation between the various majir units of a command and between one or more field armies, the sigiml r. oft-times finds himself astride a tree limb close to the enemy, directing artillery fire several miles away. Great effort is made by the sharpshooter to "snipe” enemy signalmen. The rifle man knowing that every signalman put out of action, means the crippling temporarily at least, of one vit i! source of information to his opponent. | Thrills and opportunity for distinguished service aplenty may be found in the Signal Corps. The rates of pay in the Signal En listed Reserve Corps follow: Master Signal Electrician. $Bl per month; Sergeant, first class. ssl; Sergeant $44: Corporal. s3ii; Horseshoer. S3B: Cook, S3B: Private, first class. $33; Private. $36. Twenty per cent, of above scale is added for foreign serTo enlist in the Signal Enlisted Reserve Corps, the applicant must fit st. communicate with the office of Department Signal Officer. Chicago stating plainly his experience and capability. Telegraphers should accompany this letter with an endorsement from an accredited official of a commercial or railroad telegraph department or company. Applicant will then be furnished with credentials for enlistment at any regular United States Army recruiting office. As soon as enlistment Is complete, the recruit may return to his civil life duties, and will be notified when he is required to assemble for active service. The method of mobilization of th" Signal Enlisted Reserve Corps has not been definitely worked out by the War Department, but it is believed enlisted men will be assembled at. convenient points, and transported to some centralized station for general instruction. After enlisted recruits have received a course of lustruction sufficient to develop their particular qualifications, promotions will be made to fill the various noncommissioned grades. Including Martor Signal Electrician. Sergeant first class, sergeam, corporal ami private jjrnt class, and to grades such as horse-hoer and cook. Additional information may be ob'"ffied b v addressing Department Signal Officer. Consumers building. Chi -LlgO.
