requirements demanded in the orders
from the war department, October 20,
1902, the temporary station in this city
will not be reopened. The latest or
ders however, which have just been is
sued, have removed these restrictions
and the recruiting officers have been
given more latitude in their work. 1t
is probable that the temporary recruit
ing Office in Ottumwa will soon be re
Opened as copies of the orders are in
the hands OF the officers of the Des
Moines station, from which the recruit
ing officers who manage the local office
are selected. Since the orders October
25, the officers have been allowed to
enlist only former soldiers in most OF
the departments of the service. Now
they will be allowed to enlist any appli-
cants who pass a favorable examina-
ton.
