those accepted.
Age Regulation Is Waived.
The department, it was announced.
has suspended the regulation limiting
new enlistment in the regular army
to men not more than thirty-fye years
old This vas made possible by the
war declaration against Germany

than forty-hye years old could be ac-
| ceptej, but to conform to the admin
istration's army bill the maximum age
has been set at forty years.
The present authorized strength of
regulars will soon be reached at the
present rate of enlistment Including
all combatant and noncombatant
troops and unassigned recruits this

ed men

case of regiments of negro troops,
however. some of which already are
