Indeed, recent tests of Mr. Roosevelt's strength with the American public showed him with 768 per cent approving his course. But the survey raises the interesting question of whether any nominee for the Presidency in American history has ever undergone such a dramatic revaluatien in the minds of the public—and especially in the minds of the rival parties—so soon after election day.

Rush Consulate at ’Frisco To Offer Service as Craftsmen.
Times Special i SAN FRANCISCO, July 28. —= Nearly 500 skilled men from northern California,” Nevada and Utah have volunteered through the Brit- | ish Consulate here to serve in the (British Civilian Technical Corps as | noncombatant craftsmen. | The men are radio mechanics and lengineers, fitters of all kinds, metal workers, electrical technicians, in[strument makers and repairers, watch makers and meter mechanics, | machine-tool setters and operators, | wiremen and ships’ electricians, sound engineers, automobile mechanics, ordnance and engine-room artificers. ; They must agree to serve three years, or for the duration of the war, whichever period is shorter. It is understood they are to be transported free to the British Isles or other overseas points, and are to receive free food and lodging in addition to wages ranging from $24.12 to $38.65 weekly.
Not Military Service
None of the men has been accepted yet, as the British Consulate in New York, headquarters for the
Technical Corps applications, has not had time to complete inquiries. The applicants here are of all types and ages. Some seek adventure, some are attracted by the wages, and many are anxious to express their sympathy with the British cause by active participation. The technical corps is not a military service. Americans are still prohibited from enlisting in England’s Army, unless indirectly through Canadian forces. Benefits and terms offered the American craftsmen who will work for England parallel those offered the Royal Canadian Air Force. These include payment on discharge of a “rehabilitation grant” equal to 30 days’ pay, pension if death or disability results from the work, vacation with pay and free medical service.
