T33-1te 200,000 DRAFTED MEN TO CAMP IN NOVEMBER Two hundred thousand men of the new draft will be mobilized early in November, Provost Marshal General Crowder announced Wednesday. They will be called from every state. Suspended October draft calls have been renewed where the influnza epidemic has moderated, and en- AIR SERVICE IS AGAIN OPEN FOR RECRUITING Young Men of Draft Age and Skilled Men Not So Young Will Now Be Accepted The U. S. Air Service is again open to young men in the draft. The state Council of Defense organization is aiding in the recruiting. Those who wish to get in should volunteer quickly because civilians have had no opportunity to qualify as pilots since last March, and there are a lot of adventurous youngsters who want to take their chance in the air. The government wants for this service men to train as: Pilots Bombers. Observers Balloonists. Mechanics. The qualifications for the Air Serv- ice are high Practically half the ap- plicants are found unfit for flying at the first examination. Others are weeded out as training progresses, for the qualified airman must not only learn to fly his machine, but must learn radio photography, bombing machine gunnery and artill- ery observation as well So the gov- ernment asks that only those who feel sure they can pass both the physical and the mental tests will apply The age limits for flyers are 18 to 30 years but youngsters under 25 are preferred Age limits fo rballonists are 18 to 45 years. For mechanical work of the Air Service, skilled men only are sought, and skilled particularly in one or the other of these branches: Airplane mechanicians cabinetmakers, chauf- feurs, electricians, auto mechanics, radio operators, motorcyclists, tail- ors, instrument repairmen, carpen- ters, clerks, motor mechanics, rig- gers, engine repairmen, propeller makers, stenographers, machinists. The age limits for those who apply as mechanics are 18 to 55 years. Applicants for the flying branch of the Air Service should apply to the Aviation Examining Board, 120 West Adams street, Chicago, and for the mechanical branch, to the Air Serv- ice Trade Test Board at the same address. RED CROSS WANTS 1050 MORE DRIVERS Major H. P. Harding Commander of Camp Scott, Chicago, the official training camp for Red Cross drivers, states that due to increased facilities at the barracks they will enlist 1,050 more men for duties overseas in France and Italy. This section is open to men under eighteen years, or over forty-five years of age also to men in deferred classifications. It is necessary that the applicant have at least one year's driving experience. A course of training lasting four weeks is given, consisting of mechan- ical training and military discipline. The training is intensive. Military discipline is upheld always. Actual work in constructing and reassemb- ling automobiles is given. Demon- strations of all possible accidents and breakdowns are shown with the quickest method of repairing. A driving course, which is as rough as the roughest spots in No Man's land adjoins the barracks, and the driver is required to cover this course under all conditions, at cer- tain speeds and with certain loads. Forty dollars a month and main- tenance, including equipment, is paid after sailing; while in training, half pay and maintenance.

Huerter, of Gross Point, received a telegram Monday from Washington, conveying the sad news that their only son, Peter, who has been in the National army only two months, died October 4, of pneumonia, on board ship en route to France, and was buried at sea with military honors the fol- lowing morning.
