Record Throng Hears Call OF
Plattsburg; 400 Men
Are Examined
Many Applicants
Are More than s.
Leading Families Repre-
sented; Larger Quarters
Obtained

Breaking all enlisting records in New
York City, between LOO and 500 ap-
plicants for the reserve officers train
ing camp at Plattsburg jammed the in
formation and enrolling Offices, on the
eleventh floor of 10 West Forty-fourth
Street, yesterday from o'clock in the
morning to 10 o'clock last night.
At least one-fourth of the eager, well
dressed throng were men of thirty-five
years or more. Scores we're gray-head-
ed, but every applicant was robust.
Many were men whose wealth extends
into the hundreds Of thousands and
whose families have been prominent in
New York for generations. Members Of
the Roosevelt, Schuyler, Van Rensselaer,,
Pell and other equally we'll known fam
lilies were among them.
Every club in the Fifth Avenue dis
trict was humming with applicants and
preparedness. The Harvard Club. where
the medical examinations were held,
held scores Of scattered groups, and
the topic among them all was getting
ready for France next year"
New Application Blanks Given
+ As fast as applicants presented their
three letters Of recommendation and, in
the case of previous service men, their
/ discharges or furloughs, a new applica-
ton form was given TO them to be filled
out and sworn to before a notary pub
/ lie. That done and the papers approved
/ by one of the officers on duty, each ap-
plcant received the physical examina-
ton blank and was told when to report
to the examining surgeons. So fast
were the applications approved that the
medical examiners are now booked UP
from a. m. to 10 p. III every day this
week.
The crowd awaiting examinations IN
the Harvard Club. wnere Major Rich
ard Derby and his corps Of assistants
had been working under high pressure
/ grew so large late yesterday that the
surgeons shifted their quarters across
the street to the D. X. E. chapter house
Beginning this morning, all person
who were to have been examined at tho
Harvard Club will go 10 the COLLEGE
! OF Physicians and Surgeons, Fifty
ninth Street and Tenth Avenue, where
larger quarters have been obtained
Formal notice of the change was ISSUED
by Major Derby last night.
Approximately 400 men were exam
ined by the surgeons yesterday and
more than so per cent passed. Almost
| $50 passed on Monday, though the
physical requirements are as strict as
those OF the regular army, and no
favoritism is being shown any one. An
instance of this occurred yesterday
morning. when Major Derby, a son-in-
law of Colonel Roosevelt, was forced
TO turn down a Roosevelt, because his
eyes were just below the requirements.
Fifty Reserve Corps surgeons have
volunteered a part of their time for
the examining work, and. beginning to-
day. Major Derby believes that his
force can examine 700 men a day.
Twelve surgeons were on duty ycster-

Our grandfathers and great grand.

In former times the herbs were brew
ed into teas. Today modern labora-
tories make a vastly superior product.

and berries subjected to process that

ed to build up run down people. 1t
has helped thousands who were suffer
Ing from disordered stomachs, liver
and kidneys.
George r. Kelly, mail carrier of
New Hope. KY, is one Of the thou
sands In the Blue Grass State who have
endorsed Tanlac. Here is what he
has to say about this wonderful tonic:
II had trouble with my stomach and
bowels. After eating l had cramps. 1
lost my appetite and got 80 hated to

tongue was coated and l had q bad
taste In my mouth.
Nothing helped me before I started
taking Tanlac / took three bottles
