H. Griswold, in command of Company I, to stimu- late interest in recruiting. Tonight at Fox’s theater, during the presentation of “The Eagle’s Claw,” a stimulating war picture, Mayor Quigley is to ad- dress the audience, and regimental officers and enlisted men will be pres- ent . Adjutant General George M. Cole is of the opinion that young men en- listing in the national guard now will be given a chance later, if they show marked ability, of attending officers’ training camps. The utant general states: £ “Though I speak with no official au- thority, I personally believe that the young men who enter the national guard now and show themselves to be qualified for it will be selected when the times comes that the officers are to be picked for the army which soon will be drafted. The man who enters the service now will have a distinct advantage over the man who comes in later or wlie is taken for the new army because of the fact that he has had additional training of, the inten- sive variety which we plan to give all recruits from now on.” for Enlistment Applicants for. enlistment must sat- isfy the recruiting officer regarding their age and characteer and the doc- tor regarding their physical condition. For the infantry, coast artillery and engineers the minimum height is & feet 4 inches and the maximum weight is 190 pounds. The minimum weight for all army branches 138 pounds, subject to certain varidtions explained below. In no case, however, will a man be pted withqut a spe- clal waiver from the army adjutant | general if he weighs- less than 130 pounds. Herewith is printed the table of physical proportiont .
