WANT OLDER MEN
FOR SECOND CAMP
Those between % and IS are
Preferred Over All
Others

ut has been the experience in the
armies Of Europe that men between
the ages Of rs and 35 years make the
best officers. Men of these ages,
with certain amount of business ex-
perience, are what we want for the
second Officers training camps,
which open August 9th"
This is the statement made by the
examining officer Of this district,
who is now considering applications
for the new training camp. Mr.. Ellis
Kimble, local secretary of the Mill
tary Training Camps Association, has
been in direct touch with the examin-
ing officer and makes public the
words of the latter.
"From the way in which applica-
tions are coming in, it is evident that
many young fellows have miscon-
strued the governments circular
which states that men over 81 would
be given preference in the new train
ing camp. While it is very true that
older men are wanted, this should
discourage no one Of % years Of age,
and even younger from putting in
his request for admission. A mans
chances are greater for being accept
ed if he is over 26 or 28-but there
will be large number Of the 25-year
class wearing the Khaki as officers.
at seems that many who have
asked for applications for the new
camp are still holding them. In the
case of the younger men, this is a big
mistake. The sooner their names are
on file, the more chance they have of
getting in on the ground floor and
having the opportunity to be an Of
ficer in the new national army.
eve want to have plenty of time
to thoroughly consider the merits of
the younger men,"
Here the examining officer picked
up an application blank lying on his
desk. "Now, this is a goood type of
man," he said, 1926 years of age, cap
tain of his high school base ball team,
with four years of business expert
ence. He has no military training,
but seems to have given early evil
dence of leadership. I have given
him a high mark and he will un.
doubtedly be enrolled in the second
and last Officers Training Camp.
"Here are two more application.
One of them is from a superintend
ent of building construction. He has
only three years Of high school anC
no military experience, but he knows
A, how to handle men. The other ap.
plication is from the manager of q
department in commercial enter
prise. He, too, has had no military
experience, but he has demonstrated
his worth in charge of men, although
he is only rs years old"
"In its attempt to get older men to
fill the more responsible positions in
the New National Army" says Mr.
Kimble, "many have not realized that
men of 25 years and up have an ex-
cellent chance to be accepted.
"Men, more men, and still more
men, are wanted for this second Of
ficers' Training Camp, opening Aug
ust 9th. There are only two weeks
more to apply. No one will be con-
sidered after July 18th. This is at
once the duty and the opportunity
for men between the ages of % and
A to give the government the bene-
fit of their experience, of their ser
vices, as leaders of the second Ma
tional army of Five Hundred Thous-
and Men,"
Application blanks now at the
Chamber of Commerce Office.

Retired Officers Offer
.SerUice to Country
By associated Press

Washington. ID. c., March 24.-War
Department officials are trying to solve
the problem of finding suitable posts
for retired Army officers who wish to
return to limited duty in the event of
war. Many of them have offered their
services. some of whom held high
rank before retirement. Under the
law retired officers can be employed
only when they volunteer.
At present, in the absence of mo-
orders, there are few posts
open to retired men. With training
camps in operation, however, every
officer physically fit would be of the
utmost value. and a definite plan for
their use is being mapped out. Great
Britain found her "dugouts," or re-
tired officers. an almost Indispensable
element of her army building plans
They trained the first hundred thou
sand of the Kitchener army with but
little aid from the active personnel
and were swept to the front with the
first expedition.
1T is expected, however, that owing
to the kind of employment individual
retired officers may seek, the policy
followed would be to accept "dugouts"
only when they offer themselves with
out restriction as to employment.
TIL eNavy already has found use for
an increased number of its retired
officers in connection with organization
work in the naval defense districts
No general call for such men to re-
lieve active officers on shore duty has
vet been made, however.
