MAKING PHYSICAL TESTS
OF GUARDSMEN ON BORDER
officers and Enlisted Men Subject to
Examination Under Strict
Army Standards.

Ell PASO. Tex, August 8. The
physical examination of National Guard
troops encamped here began today by
regular officers from the Medical Corps
under strict army standards is causing
considerable apprehension among guard
officers, including several of high rank.
These troops were rushed to the border
during the Mexican crisis without proper
examination The enlisted men, who
have less to lose if rejected than the Of
ficers. do not express the same degree of
uneasiness over the outcome. Eyesight
tests seem to be particularly feared.
Spanish classes have been started in
the mess halls OF the Massachusetts br-
gade with increasing success. The
teachers are not professors of Castillian,
but the Mexican bootblacks and news
boys who visit the camp. They teach
Mexican as it is spoken by the poems or
what the soldiers call practical Span
ish." Their method is purely conversa-
tional.
