Capt. A. B. Sloan, US. A., in charge
There is none of tt companies re-
cruited to the full var strength OF
141 men, in fact. fel if any of them
have more than ahundred. One
cause of the slow enltments has been
the rigid medical examinations 70
which the m:n arebeing subjecte1
because only those,hysically fit in
every way are bei1 accepted. The
Little Rock compan could have hecn
recruited several ties over had all
those who have offed TO enlist been
accepted.
