Several of the candidates have come
to the conclusion that they are not
htted for army life and have asked to
be allowed to leave the camp. Lieut..
Col Charles w. Fenton. the camp com

been given their release, as the govern

have found themselves untitled to be-
come officers. He explained that only
about l per cent of the entire student
body had quit. One of them was a
man forty-four years old, who found
that the task of hiking about the drill
field for about six hours every day was
too much for him.

Eligible for Military Service.

children to avoid service in the new
national army" is the injunction OF
Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder in an

sire by the government to draft any
one who is the sole support of any
man. woman or child, hut points out
that unless the person you have in
mind is solely dependent on you" eN-
einption would not be granted.
I The registrar will drop permanently
from the list those whose physical de-
fects. such as the absence of a leg or
an arm. make unfitness for service
obvious, but all other claims for ex-
emption will be passed upon by the
local boards. The applicant will be
required to state specifically the char
acter of the work he is performing in
order that the board may judge If it is
such as to warrant the government in
excusing him from army duty.
eff you are felon or otherwise
morally deficient and desire to claim
exemption on that ground. state your
ground briefly" says the guide.
The difference between a natural
born" citizen and naturalized citizen
is explained carefully and it is pointed
out that even alien enemies within the
age limits will be required to register,

cordance with the usual procedure. guns
were fired to test mounts and ammuni-
ton and to practice the navy crew in

caliber, for which the shell and powder
are loaded separately into the gun. The
powder charge is contained in a brass
case and there held in place by q
pasteboard wad, distance pieces and a
brass mount-cup that fits closely, thus
that the powder may also give the
