COLORED MEN WANTED FOR UNITED STATES ARMY May Enlist for the Famous Ninth and Tenth Cavalry or for the Twenty fourth aM Twenty-fifth Infantry— Mnitor Ventures Guess That Ulti mately Others Arms of the Service Will Be Opened to Our Young Men. Uncle Samuel is calling for 50,000 men physically qualified, between the ages of 18 and 41 to enlist for the a' my. The two aims of the service at present open to Colored men are the cavalry and infantry. The Mon itor hazards the guess, because this count!-)' of ours must eventually get away from the policy of restricting equal opportunities for service, mili tary or other to any class of her citi zens, that before long other branches of the service will also be open to our young men. But, for the pres ent orders have gone forth to enlist Colored men for the two above named branches. Men who have had previous service in the army, navy or marine corps, may enlist for one or three years. All others enlist for three years. Men enlisting for three years will have the opportunity of going at once to Panama. Hawaiian Islands, Philippines or China. Here is a good opportunity for young Colored men. The opportunity for enlistment will not last long. All who are interested may secure full information at the recruiting station at the U. S. Army Building, Fifteenth and Dodge. Major Frith is the rescruiting officer. Sergt. Tramel is in charge of the Colored en listments and will be pleased to give any information desired. For anything in the drg uline call us up.
