NO CHANGE IN
EXAMINATIONS

Adjutant General George Mel. Pres
son stated Monday that his depart
ment has been receiving so many in
quiries concerning a current rumor in
military circles that the United States
war department had made changes in
the regulations regarding the physical
requirements for enlistment in the in
fantry which are now promulgated in
Circular 5, 1916, that he had wired the
Militia Bureau at Washington on July
asking if any changes had been
made and also if they would wire the
notifications. if any. He received on
July the following answer:
Washington, D. c., July 7.--Regard-
ing your inquiry, no change has been
made in Circular 5.
That would seem to settle any hopes
that a man would have of seeing the
requirements stretched" in any way
to allow a man who is a little short
Of the required weight for his height,
or lacking slightly in other require
ments, admission TO the service, after
having once been rejected.
