bers OF the graduating class will be assigned 70 the
coast artillery corps. such assignments being made
far possible. in accordance with the prefer
ence of the graduates. With the accumulatins and
prospective vacancies 1t IS estimated there will be
twenty-five thirty places to which civilians may
be appointed. The last examination held in all
parts of the country resulted IN twenty candidates
qualifying for appointment and these have Just
been commissioned. taking their places ahead OF
the West Pointers. who will be graduated in Juns
Considerable difficulty has been experienced IN oo-
tanning suitable candidates for appointment to the
corps. largely because Of the technical and scisn-
tihc attainments required IL is considered not

modification in these requirements. that only
graduates of the technical schools likely 20 Be
found eligible to appointment These requirements
are such that it is of the question for candi-
dates from the army-enlisted men who have served
two years-to hope for appointment 10 the commits
