dan The list for today includes five
leaders in the business, industrial and

called to the colors. A memorandum
of the War Department in part
reads as follows:
"The First Ten Thousand should.
be the best that the country has. In
planning our military forces we must
assume that the war is by no means
drawing to a close and that the country
must expand its military forces as.
of the country permit. The sixteen
infantry divisions and two cavalry di-
visions aggregate approximately half
million men. The officers Of this force
must receive substantial promotions to-
meet the demands of forces to be raised
later 1T is conceivable that many men
who are appointed in 'The First Ten
Thousand must be promoted to one
grade with each successive addition to
our military forces. For this reason
the War Department hopes the Mature
man will seek appointment in THE
First Ten Thousand
"Other similar camps must follow
this first camp. Young men must be-
admitted to the first camp but not to
the exclusion of Maturer men. In the
second and following camps younger
men will predominant.
fThe minimum age of those who at
tend is twenty years and nine months.
The maximum age is forty-four years.
Those who have already passed the
preliminary examinations must await
their postal card notices before pres
senting themselves at the camp.
