DRAFT ABSENTEES ARE GIVEN U. S. NEEDS TELEGRAPHERS; Y. M. C.

A. PLANS COURSE The tremendous part the signal corps of the army is required to play in the theaters of operation upon the Buropean battlefields has prompted the inauguration by the war department of an unprecedented campaign to train a great force of young men of military age who will be available lor this technical service. The demand for the signal corps when necessary to prosecute successfully the war in which this country has engaged has become so urgent that a mammoth educational campaign nation-wide in its scope, under supervision of the United States government, is now under way, to young men between the ages of 2l and 31 who can the physical examination and are of the proper caliber and dependability. Cooperating with the government in the educational movement are educational organizations, including school boards of various cities, universities, colleges and technical institutes all over the United States. Schools in telegraphy under these and similar auspices have sprung up all over the divisional areas of the war department.

In many instances the teaching of telegraphy has already- been a part of the vocational training and the night school courses of the public schools. The immediate urgency of training a great force of young men of military age for the signal corps was shown recently in announcement from Washington that the question of calling out an additional 100,000 men in future drafts was under consideration for the purpose of training them for the signal corps service. A course in telegrapbv has been started at the Young Christian association to meet this demand. This course is free to members. Those wishing to enrol in this course who ar-e not members may do so by taking out a regular membership.

Enrolment is still open for those who wish to take this course. The Western Union Telegraph company' is fitting up a room at the Y. M. C. A.

building with modern and complete equipment. Already a class of 25 students have enroled. Although 20 percent of its quota would be only 67 men, city' army selection board No. 2 will send about 125 men, said chairman J. F.

Williams Thursday.

Chairman Williams has sent notices to the following 124 men to appear for roll call at 10 oclock on the morn- LAST CHANCE TO JOIN COLORS ing of October 7.
