Thursday, Dec. 13.” It has been announced previ- ously that the privilege for- enlisting would be open until the 15th, but this order changes the date by making it two days earlier. This action is due to the numerous eénlistments, which have given the re- cruiting boards nearly all the men they want for the time being. The condi- tion now is such that any registered man who wishes to enlist must apply at the army station as soon before Thursday evening as possible because he must be examined before he is ac- cented, and there is no telling how many will be waiting for examination on Thursday. Those who wish to recruit in the ordnance departmient can do so by go- to New Haven today. The orders relating to these recruits reads: “In view of the fact that men appl ing for enlistment under present co dittons are technical men, you are au- thorized to waive such minor physical defects as overweight, flat feet miss- ing finger or toe or physical disquali- fications which, in your opinion, do not lepartment.
