Army Physical Test.

Tho recommendations Of the gen.
eral star officers that have been con
sidoring the proposal to abolish tho
"Omilc annual test ride now arc be-
fore tho chief OF Staff awaiting his
action. 1t is recommended that
tho annual ride be discontinued aud
that officers, instead. be required to
make 20-mi!c horseback ride or a
1Omle walk in one day every
month. The proposed l0-mile walk
for army officers is similar to that
now cXactcd Of officers Of the navy
and marine corps. Those advocating
the change in the army believe that
the proposed new requirements will
be conducive to satisfactory physical
condition in that the exercise is dis
tributed through the year, instead Of
being concentrated in single SUI
prcme annual effort to keep up with
the pace. The annual physical exam
nation will be retained as a means OF
disclosing the physically incapacitated.
