INFERIOR IN STRENGTH.
Army of Today Cannot Match That OF
1875-Allege More Brains.

Washington, Sept. Many an
uudraped scareerow gets into the
army" because of the custom of adj
hitting men several pounds under
regulation weight. according to cap
tain Harold w. Jones, of the army
medical corps. After examining 800
recruits, Captain Jones has reached
the conclusion that the recruits of to-
day are inferior in strength and physi-
que to the soldiers in the army IN
1915. OF the half thousand men. who
presented themselves for enlistment,
only SO per cent. could be rated as
strong, while it was 81 per cent, in
1875, when hardy German and Irish
immigrants of stocky build were num-
erous among the recruits. At that
time 90 per cent. of the recruits were
foreign born, whereas present day en-
listments comprise only per cent
foreign born. Modern recruits are al
legged to have more brains than those
of earlier years, and it is question
whether they are not better all round
soldiers, Further investigation along
these lines may be made by army 9TH
