 An order was issued from the Con- necticut headquarters in charge of army recruiting Tuesday noon stating that acceptance of registered men will close promptly at p. m, Thursday. Dec. 13." It has been announced previ ously that the privilege for. enlisting would be open until the 18th. but this order changes the date by making it two days earlier.
 This action is due to the numerous enlistments, which have given the re- cruiting boards nearly all the men they want for the time being. The condi- ton now is such that any registered man who wishes to enlist must apply at the army station as soon before Thursday evening as possible because he must be examined before he is ac- cepted, and there is no telling how many will be waiting for examination on Thursday.
 Those who wish to recruit in the ordnance department can do so by go- ing to New Haven today The orders relating to these recruits reads:
 'Tn view of the fact that men apply ing for enlistment under present con- dttfonS are technical men, you are au- thorized to waive such minor physical defects as overweight, flat feet miss- ing finger or toe or physical disquali- fcations which, in your opinion, do not incapacitate the men for work of the ordnance department. Missing teeth and impaired vision will also be waiv- ed.
 Thereafter you will accept no appli- cant who is employed in a munition plant unless he has permission from his employer to enlist and you will do no canvassing in or about intuition plants.
 Registrants who have been rejected or exempted by local or district boards are not eligible for voluntary enlist ment.
 Accept no more men for the Twen- ty-fifth engineers National army. Men Ested"
