Registered Bricklayers Can Gat In Service To Work At Trade Now

This morning the county exemption board received a communication from Adjt. Gen. Harry B. Smith, citing a request from Provost Marshal Crowder that skilled bricklayers who are registered for service and subject to call can be certified by board for service as soon as their questionnaires have been returned and their classification made. It is understood that there are in the county a few bricklayers who are registrants and as soon as their questionnaires are returned and examined by the board they can get in the service right away to work at their trade. Gen. Crowder says Gen. Pershing needs one thousand bricklayers at once for work in France. Indiana has been requistioned for fifty of the number. Men certified by the boards for service will be sent immediately to San Antonio, Texas.
