ACCOUNTANTS ARE FEW SERIOUS SHORTAGE OF EXPERTS DUE TO ARMY CALLS A Washington. Aug. IS. Expert ac countants have become so essential to the war collections that the Govern ment is considering steps to prevent their being taken for Army service, and to enroll them in a big reserve similar to that being established for physi cians. There are only about 2500 certi fied accountants and 6000 junior ac countants In the United States. Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper's pro gramme for collecting $8,000,000,004 of taxes next year calls for employing more than 1000 of these. The Treasury has suggested to President Wilson that accountants be recognized as a class essential to the war. like physicians, dentlsts.and chemists, and that they not only be exempt from draft, but that some plan be worked out to discourage their voluntary enlistment and to rec ognize their value in civilian service. .StahatSecsii M ah 178, A 1781 Phone your want ads to The Orego- ' nian.
