His office will be opened again to- morrow at S:30 a. m.

Men who elect to serve in the regular organiza- tionS of the United States army are cared for in the field and in garrison. Their welfare is guarded by capable officers who understand the duty of caring for enlisted men and providing them with what the army regulations allow. The standard of intelligence in the regular army is already high and is destined ito be higher.
