TANK MEN
WANTED
Men are needed in the tank corps
jf the United States Army. George
Goshaw, fimnan who came out from
ihi intenor last wi^ek and went south
;n the Northwestern, received a great
amount of mail from the tank head
quarters, 32Kth Battalion, Camp
Neade Maryland. During the war Mr.
Goshaw was the organizer of the tank
corps, in the mail received here was
a second letter asking for tank men. j
The letter says:
We were perfectly frank in our
first letter to you in stating that the
Tank Corps needs more men. if the
Co: i s that yoq helped o'.iginatc is to
be perpetuated it is essential that it j
he filled to its authorized strength of
2o0d men. A good many ol you must I
he helping, because the rate that re
cruits have been arriving has certain
ly taken a jump. When we wrote you
last, there were about Sf>0 men here—
hanlly as many men as we have Tanks
—; now there are over 1100. Accept
our thanks for helping us put this ov
er for the Tank Corps, and keep up
the good work.
When you pick out a man that
wou’d make a good Tanker, suppose!
you put our proposition up to him on a i
purely business basis. Here is what a j
young fellow is up against in civil
life while he is learning a trade;
He pays his own tuition if he is
attending a trade school, or else has
to draw on his parents’ income.
He pays for his room and board,
$40 to $<>0 a month.
lie pays for all his clothing, hats,
shoes, etc., about $200 a year.
lie pays his own doctor and hospital
hills.
His living conditions are not ordi
nal iiy as pleasant as they might be.
His working day is devoted to rou
tine grind with few variations. ]
lie has few opportunities for ath-l
ietics and sports. j
ue is 01Kred no stimulus for phy
*.cal development.
lie pays coid cash for everything
he gets. ,
wo.it.ast to this what the lank
o.*>s has to offer. Note the more at- ,
, active associations, the brighter liv
.ig conditions, the more picturesque]
u roundings, the incentive to physic-,
_d development, and the training in
selfcontrol. Here’s what your Tankers
will get:
His training in a skilled trade —
— as part of his pay.
His board and lodging-as part,
of his pay.
His clothing, hats, shoes, etc.,
as part of his pay.
His doctor and hospital hills
' I
as part of his pay. i
his chances for promotion are ex
cellent, as we now have 950 vacancies
in the non-commissioned grades.
Ills chances for travel and adven
ture are of the best. It is the present
plan to send Battalions, as soon as
they are trained, to the various Re
gular Army Divisions for maneuvers
He is kept physically fit.
He is taught self-discipline - he
lives among healthy, wide-awake-men
■ much of his time is spent in the open
; in healthful surroundings— and he be
longs to an organization with a his
! tory of which he can be proud.
All this costs him nothing.
When you meet any young man
j who is eligible for the Service, tell
him some of the facts, and add per
haps some of the more interesting of
your owit experience in the Tank
Corps. You might give him a copy of
BEAUTY

this letter, or better still, get it pub
lished in your home paper, so that this
message will reach some of tbo young
fellows that you don’t know. When
you arc satisfied that you have picked
us a good Tanker and he is satisfied
that we can give him what he wants,
iake him to a recruiting station, so
jou will be sure that he gets started
right.
The Tank Corps is the only branch
of the Service that is trying to keep
in personal touch with all its former
members. We must pull together.
For the Tank Corps.

CHINESE WILL USE
THE PHONETIC SCRIPT
SHANGHAI, May 1— Chinese of
future generations will write in pho
netic script and use a typewriter
with only Ml) characters instead of
plying a brush to draw 10,000 or
more hieroglyphics if mission work
ers succeed in an effort they are
making to revolutionize handwrit
ing in use in China for more than
1.000 years. The work of the mis
sionaries is at least beginning to
receive hopes that eventually th<»
Chinese brush,* ink block and ink |
table will have to go to give place
to more modern methods of commu
nicating ideas.
Their pa; pose :s not only to sim
plify China’s handwriting system
be* to give, the country a common
toncrim to replace the present-day
babel which renders even the na-1
tive who is away from his own hoe'
district almost as helpless as a for
eigner.
The system of phonetic script now •
urged upon the Chinese-was worked*
out iu England in 100;’. by Wang
Jhao. Besides its ?.0 characters, it
’onUJns 10 numerals. There are
ao capitals.
!iev. E. G. Tewksbury, of Shang
hai, secretary of the China Sunday
School Union, and a member of the
Phonetic Promotion Committee, who
nas devoted M0 years to teaching,
4n China, has put the new script j
.lilo use on American typewriters i
.villi complete success. l or this
purpose typewriters with black type
races are obtained fiom the lactones
and the characters are cut from
these faces here by Chinese en
gravers.
That the Peking government at
taches importance to the cffoit be
.ng made is seen in the following
excerpt from a recent mandate is
sued by the Ministry of Education.
•*We recognize that because of
the difference between our classical i
and spoken languages, education in
*.ne schools makes slow progress and
,ne keen edge of the spirit of the
union, both between individuals and
in society at large, has thereby
been blunted. Moreover, if wo do
not take prompt steps to make the
written and spoken language the
ijamc quickly, any plans for devel
oping bur civilization will surely fail.”
