her Of vacancies in Truck Company No. 4.
The officers Of that organization are
anxious 10 MI up their quota as speedily as
possible so that they may follow their
brother company into state service at an
early date.
As there has been a marked tendency
on the part Of well-ntted men under thirty,
one years Of age, without military expert
ence, not to make applications for the new
officers training camp because OF an ap-
parent MISUNDERSTANDING Of the war De-
partment's memorandum OF Information,
dated June 4, 1917, Adiutant General NC
CLAIM has issued the following statement
with the request that II be given as wide
spread publicity as possible:
The statement that mature men will be
riven preference for the second series or
officers training camps seems to have been
misunderstood in some quarters. TINS
preference will only apply where qualifca-
tIons are equal There Is no intention to
bar out applications by men under thirty
one. In fact, examining officers have been
instructed to regard the ages twenty-five
to thirty-hve as the most suitable There
is also some misunderstanding about the
necessity of previous military experience
The Government Is lbohlllb ~ lilalllN w
intelligent and forceful men, and military
experience, though desirable, is not strictly
necessary.
