Show f MARRIED OFFICERS WANTED IN ARMY With the fast growth of the army comes the increasing de-man de-man for more officers. The army needs 75,000 additional officers this year. Army leaders are meeting this demand in a very practical way. They are attempting to persuade young married men to enter the army as privates with the assurance assur-ance that they may stand the examination . for admittance into officers' training school. Most married men would hesitate hesi-tate to enlist because a private's pay check is not large enough to support a wife, and there would he the chance that they would not be selected as an officer. However, John J. McCoy, assistant assist-ant secretary of war, in a recent speech pointed out that the army will now accept the enlistment of men with dependents for the sole purpose of getting a commission. If the enlistee is not accepted as an officer by the army, he may return to civil life- and not be sub- ject to military call until persons in his classification are subject to call by local draft boards. Now, young married men in this vicinity who wish to serve the country, but at the same time have the responsibility of supporting support-ing someone, may join the army with the assurance that if they are not selected as officers they may return to civil life.
