Expert interpre ters by the hundreds will soon be need ed to carry on the business of Uncle Sam's new national army abroad. Com plete courses in military interpreta tion of foreign languages, approved by Secretary Baker and the war college, are being offered for the summer at Columbia University, where linguists of every variety will be turned out for home and field service during the war. They will enter the. army with the rank of sergeant. First class inter preters, the War Department has found, are a hard class to muster into the service in large numbers. An applicant for the preliminary training course must be able to fluently speak and be able to read either French or German His business will not be merely to translate military documents and let ters. He must converse intelligently and aid officers with only a knowledge of English in carrying on that part of their business which must be done in foreign countries. Before receiving ap pointment to the service the applicant must pass the regular army physical examination almost as big a job as learning a couple of languages. He must also prove American birth and citizenship and loyalty to the cause of the United States. His family tree is thoroughly probed in a search for flaws. The thoroughly trained interpreter is immediately assigned to duty, for the government is at present shy of lin guists." If he completes his course be fore thenational army needs him, he may be assigned to duty in the eamp where thousands of aliens are tempor arily interned, or to the Department of Justice investigation service.
