New Army Rules,

General McCooli has received teIe-
gram from the war department stat
ing that all cnlistmcnts hereafter Will

has been for five years, ana this had
the effect Of keeping good many de-
sirnblc men ont of the ranks.
Besides making enllstments for three
years straight, the new army law pro-
vldes that nll recruits shall he either

the result has been that some Amcri-
can commands have contained but
very few Americans in them.
