A special examination will be held
on August 81 for citizens desiring 70
obtain commissions in the United
States army without four years train
ing at West Point. More than 1900
vacancies in the rank Of second lieu
tenant, caused by the recent army re-
organization, with its large increase in
size and resultant promotion OF Off
GERS, have necessitated the examlna-
ton. Neither West Point nor promo
tions from the ranks can I'LL the gaps.
The deficiency in first heutenants IS
also so considerable that the War De-
partment points out that men who pass
with high rating for second lieuten-
ants may expect speedy promotion 20
the higher grade.
Requirements for the commission are
virtually the same as those demanded
for entering West Point, and are con-
tanned in General Orders "a, of 1915.

tion for examination, may be obtained
