The First Engineers, M. N. G., formerly the First Corps Cadets, have opened a recruiting office at Leavitt and Peirce's. Owing to the fact that they are being changed from a battalion of infantry to a regiment of engineers which has, in proportion, double the number of non-commissioned officers, there are a large number of vacancies. The engineers are the highest branch of the service and offer the greatest opportunity for advancement. Although any kind of technical, mathematical, or military experience is of value, it is by no means necessary. The intention is rather to train military engineers under regular army officers, than to enlist men trained in some other branch of engineering.
Enlistment is for the duration of the war only, and the requirements are that a man be 18 years of age or over, and can pass a physical examination.
Many hold a mistaken opinion of the engineers. It is not perpetual trench-digging. It is the most interesting and varied work in the army.
