Two Tests For Civilians
Who Would Enter ARMY

Secretary of War Henry L. Slim
son today ordered a second examina-
ton for civilian candidates for ap-
pointment as second lieutenants in
the army. This examination will
take place in this city and at various
army posts throughout the country
on January IL. 1912.
The coming examination will be for
appointments in all branches of the
service, including cavalry, field ar
tillery, coast artillery, and Infantry.
An examination similar to the one
ordered today began on September 5
and is still in progress. In all, 200
candidates are to take this examina-
ton, IT'S for the cavalry, field artil-
lery, and infantry, and lis for the
coast artillery. There are about 200
vacancies in all, so of which are In
the coast artillery; but II is not exi
pected that out of the 290 men now
more than 100 will be sue
cessful. 1t is even feared that no more
than so will get through.
If this is the case there will be be-
tween 100 and $50 vacancies remain
ing and the War Department hopes
TOT give the ambitious young men a
second opportunity to compete.

difficult to show that the work at those
at Philadelphia, Denver, and San Fran

Congress has been more or less open

any Government activities to be dis
tributed. every section of the country
should be favored as far as possible.
Besides, the South Will be able to point
