Sir Edward Lock Elliot, worked for a year with the American hospital in France, but has now returned to England to take charge of the "back to the land" movement on her father's estate at Dodinpton Park, Gloucestershire.

INDUCEMENTS IN HISTORY OF RECRUITING

The g:overnirent Is now offering the very best inducements In regards to enlistments In' the iiiatory of recruitIns. It Is now organizing eight supply companies. These companies are noncombatant and their duties do not take them in the. trenches or on the firing- line, hut consists principally In checking stores along: the line of communications from the main base, to the advance base, where the supplies re turned over for final transportation by the truck trains to the divisions at the front. This work is pleasant nl the say rangea frocry $3S to ?70 rr month. The government la also orffanilng: twenty remount stations in different eetiens of the country for the purpose of supplying: animals to the army. uch as cavalry, field artillery horses, draft animals and mules. These stations will clso receive horses unfit for Service and la need of rest and medical treatment. Schools of instructions re ti be established where the men can take ur a. trade such as horsesheers, etc. For this branch of the

service they are calling: for clerks, typewriters, carpenters, saddlers, plumbers, timekeepers and men who understand the care and feeding of animals. These men will live in quarters. These depots will be imaintained throughout the war and it is hardly likely that any of these men will leave the country as their service will be needed in this country. The Engineers' Corps is now open to enlist for any skilled trade. The government is organizing the following engineer battalions: Railroad operating and shop battilions, for which they desire men who have had any kind of a railroad training, engineers, firemen, brakemen, trackmen, etc. Railroad Construction Battalions Track layers, pile-drivers, telegraph linemen, steam-fitters, oilers, etc. Forestry (saw mill) Battalion Teamsters, carriage men, axe-men, carpenters, etc. Quarry Battalions Rock drillers, powdernien. etc. Road Building Battalions Road construction foremen, gas enginemen.

Draftsmen, chainmen, surveying photographers. Supply and Shop Battalions Carpenters, masonj, tinsmiths, woodworkers, etc. Water Supply Companies Concrete foremen. bricklayers, tool dressers, plumbers. Truck and "Wagon Companies Chauffeurs, teamsters, saddlers, mechanics. Mining Companies Pit bosses, powdermen. gasoline engineers, miners, runipmen. Wionrcr Regiments Carpenters, blacksmiths, cooks, riggers, etc. Any of the above mentioned openings are of vast importance to the service and there is not a skilled workman that cannot be accepted In the engineer corps and he of invaluable use to the service, and it will enRble him to continue in the sar'" line of work as In Civilian life. Theso openings must be fined as soon as po:Kille; railroads, highways, bridges must be built and repaired, wharves, storehouses, depots and all coustructlon necessary to protect the army, ammunition and supplies from te weather must be constructed at once. A skilled man in any of these positions can best do his duty by enlisting In the engineers in one of these special classes and thus serve his country as faithfully as If he were fighting in the trenches. s The following men have enlisted In this branch of the service since it was opened: Rufus Stout, machinist; Clarence Smith, bricklayer; Charles Smith, bricklayer; Albert Zubay, carpenter hejper, Gunner Peterson, cook; Ray 8. Miller, storekeeper; "William II. Walter, machinist; Carl S. Vercoe , carpenter; James C. llulheln. piledriver; Philip Boenstein. tailor; Albert Long, baker; Alfred E. Dalron, locomotive fireman.
