iEXP 1IENCED MEN
NOW WANTED FOR
R. R. WORK AT FRONT
The following statement is authorized by Col. John
j stun, commanding the 23rd Engineers, address Com
manding Officer, 23rd Engineers National Army, 1419 F.
' Street, Washington, I). C.
Men who have had experience in any branch oi con
struction are offered an opportunity to see early set vice
in France in special road-building battalions oi‘ the United
States Army by recruiting plans here announced. These
battalions will be required to repair and maintain the
highways near the fighting front, over which tremendous
traffic is operated continuously. They will also build new
strategic highways in the war zone. Consequently these
troops,-all volunteers, will be in the thick of the greatest
activities.
The new battalions are constituted as regular mili
tary units and as a part of the regular army organiza
tion. They are fully armed and will be required in emer
gencies to fight along with other troops. Generally, how
ever, they will be occupied with road work.
The battalions will form a part of the 23rd Regiment
i of Engineers of the New National Army. This regiment
I will eventually have a full ster igth of about 10,500 men—
1 more than an ordinary brigade—and will so far as is at
i present known, be the largest in the army. It will be com
manded by Col. E. N. Johnston of the Corps of Engineers,
U. S. A.
There will be more highly-paid and high-ranking non
•commissioned officers in the regiment, it is believed, than
in any other. There will, therefore be more openings for
men of education and practical experience than is usually
the case.
The organization of the battalion is as nearly the
same as that of large conti acting forces as is possible.
Modern road-building machinery has been fully provided,
including rock-crushing plants, steam shovels, road rol
lers, tractors, graders, motor trucks and pumps. A full
line of dump wagons, wheel and drag scrapers and similar
dirt-moving equipment also will be available. Shops for
the repair and maintenance of ali the plant and equipment
will l)e operated close to the front.
Much of the plant used on road work in America is
new to European engineers, while the methods also are
quite different from those used abroad. A great oppor
tunity is thus offered to demonstrate what skilled Amer
icans can do with modern equipment, and the regiment
which is now being recruited must include men to oper
ate the necessary construction plant, to man the schops
and, as non-commissioned officers, to handle the forces.
Eor the non-commissioned officer positions men are
required who can qualify in private life in the following
lines. Superintendents and assisstant superintendents of
highway, bridge and quarry work, of mechanical plant and
n . • 11/11 1 i • 1 J 1
oi transportation, cmei ciems, material men, slock men,
timekeepers; foremen for concrete, road, bridge and quar
ry work; powder men, riggers, carpenters, iron workers,
surveyors and draughtsmen.
For the enlisted personnel it is desired to secure men
skilled and experienced in one or more of the following
occupations: Surveyors, draftsmen, clerks, stenographers,
form ami-bridge men; tractor operators (gasoline), grader
gas-engine operators and repairers, crusher operators,
hand drillers, drill runner (air drills) quarrymen, powder
men, masons, pile driver operators, teamsters, concrete
phone operators, steamfitters, tool sharpeners, ditchers,
operators (blading and elevating graders), motor truck
drivers, bridge carpenters, chauffeurs, cooks, motor truck
and automobile repairmen, pipe fitters, electricians, horse
shoers, musicians (bugle, fife or drum), mechanics, tele
phone operators, steamfitters, tool sharpeners, ditchers,
boatmen (builders and caulkers), shovel runners, (gaso
line), barbers, veterinarians, French interpreters, bitu
minous road men, iron workers, riggers, general utility
men capable of driving automobiles, motor trucks and all
types of gasoline driven machinery.
Any male American citizen between 18 and 40 years j
of age, and who has not actually been called by a local
board in the draft, is eligible for enlistment in these spe
cial battalions, if acceptable physically. All men must first i
enlist as privates, the rate of pay being $33 per month and1
expenses. Men with the necessary experience may be as
signed to special duties and given non-commissioned rank
at rates of pay ranging from $40.20 to $96.00 per month
and expenses. The latter include, for both privates and
non-commissioned officers, food, clothing, medical attend-!
ance and transportation. Those who enlist will be eligible'
immediately for promotion, according to their ability andi
as opening occur. Men who are specially well qualified!
and recommended will be given definite promise of ad
vancement to higher grades when their enlistment is au
thorized.
