they want only operatives from the

room girls learn in four days to eplice
wire cables for fusilage, doing the best
work the Army inspectors ever saw,
Then they go into the shop and with

sued the following circular letter:
“The large number of app'ications
received from parents and guardians
for the discharge of minors under 18
years of age, Iinclosiog satisfactory
evidence that the so!dier is under this
age, indicates the necessity of more
care on Lhe part of recruiting officers
in order to avoid unnecesssry expense
to the Government and annoyance to
troops in the fleld in the subsequent
discharge of such men, and to avoid
piascing a blot for life on the record of
a boy whose offense of mistatement of
bis age aries usually from a patri-
otic desire to serve his country.
Hereafter no spplicant under the
registration sge will be accepted or en-
listed until he has proven to the com-
plete satisfaction of the recruiting offi-
cer that he has reached the age of 18
