No Bar to Young
Men in Officers
Training Comps

That many men under 81 years oil
age will be admitted to the new offic-
ers' training camp for this district anu
that men over 81 are holding back be-
cause they feel that military experiences
is necessary, are the findings of the
Military Training Camps Association
of the United states, according to word
received by +. NJ. Haradon. "a East
Main street, who has been designated
to accept applications for the officers
training camp from this county.
The fact Is, says Wharton Clay, ex-
ecutive secretary, that the country Is
now pretty we'll drained of military
men, and that people without military
training have much better chance 10
get into the new camp at Fort Riley
than they did when the first camp at
Fort Smelling was established
General Mccain, adjutant general.
has sent out the following telegram
relative to the recruiting for the new
camp:
The statement that mature men will
be given preference for the second
series of officers training camps seems
to have been misunderstood in some
quarters. This preference will only
apply where qualifications are equal.
There is no intention to bar out APP
plications from men under 81. In fact
examining officers have been instruct
ed to regard the ages from 25 to 80 as
the most suitable There is also some
misunderstanding about the necessity
of previous military experience. The
government is looking primarily Fer
successful and forceful men, and milf
tary experience, tho desirable, Is not
strictly necessary"
