Washington, d. C.-The war de-

1000 and 5000 enlisted men OF the
army be designated by their regi-

sent TO each regiment to select SO
men who will be eligible for COM
missions, up to and including cap
tains.
The designation of the men Will be
on military aptitude, not by examine
tion. The department, as a prelm-
