| Gen. Harries has directed the adjutant
t general to issue orders prohibiting the en-
I Hstment of recruits after July IA except
! in cases where the men have had the re-

| CURED number Of men. The prospect Of
| attending the annual encampment draws
! a large number of recruits every year,

| examining surgeons at the Center Market
| Armory are busy every drill night until
the armory closes.
