CIVIL SERVICE JOBS FOR
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.
—
Washington, Jan. 31.—The United
States Civil Service Commission is
perfecting arrangements whereby
men who are about to be discharged
from the Army or Navy may receive
first-hand information concerning
opportunities for employment in the
Federal civil service. The commis
sion has received authority from the
Secretary of . War and the Secretary
of the Navy to appoint its represent
atives at all establishments where en
listed men are assembled in con-sid
erable numbers. These representa
tives are now being appointed. They
will be prepared to inform the men
fully concerning positions which are
open, to supply them with applica
tion blanks, to assist them, if neces
sary, with the execution of their ap
plications and to advise them relative
to civil-service matters generally.
It is the plan of the Civil Service
commission to entrust this work to
educational directois of welfare or
ganization already operating at the
camps, cantonments, etc. The repre
sentatives of the Commission who are
appointed frpm the personnel of these
welfare organizations will have the
benefit of the advice and assistance
of the commission’s local boards of
examiners at nearby cities, in addition
to the instructions received from the
commission.
