road near Dupont. announced
Capt. Snyder Tuesday morning.
"Altho 1t is not as large site
as the north one, or as pretty, and
the expansion cannot be so large,
the south site is better now be-
cause it will save time and a good
deal of trouble" said Capt. Sny-

THE Milwaukee and other rail
roads will then be able to reach
the site of the post without hav-

The Milwaukee can now enter

The water for the cantonments
will probably be furnished by

Americas armies will be made

Army surgeons today estimated

even Germany's, are the physical
requirements SO hard to meet.
Lungs and heart must be we'll

muir" disqualifies. Hearing and

Chronic diseases or mental
disorders cause rejection.
Loss of fingers or toes, or an
ear are disqualified ions.
Flat feet, or deformed feet are
also causes for rejection.
The surgeons examine closely
for any affections of the kidneys
or chest. At least four molar
teeth are necessary.
