PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
ARE GREATLY MODIFIED
Instructions Sent Out From Office Of
Provost-Alarshal-Gc General TO
Exemption Boards.
Ray RE-EXAMINE MANY ME,
Those Heretofore Held to BE Ply
sically Disqualified May Meet New
Requirements as to Weight. Height
and Chest Expansion.

H HhN >iN't
Instructions greatly to modify ply
steal requirements of men called for
service in the draft army were received
from Provost-M arshal-Gencral Crow
der yesterday by Governor Stuart. and
were at once forwarded TO the Office of
Acknowledgement Sale. Copies were
prepared and sent TO each exemption
board in the State.
No changes Will be made in the
height requirements. but regulations
as 10 weight arc greatly modified by
the War Departments surgeons. There
will be no reduction from the weight
required CT men from siXty-one to
sixty-three inches in height. but from
sixty-four to siNty-seven inches rcduc-
tions from five TO six pounds will be
allowed: siNty-sevcn to siXty-nine
inches. seven TO eight pounds: seventy
to sevcnty-four. ten pounds. and above
seventy-fve inches, twelve pounds.
requirements for chest expansion
have been reduced in most cases by
one-half inch. In the matter OF teeth.
the new order directs that all men
whose teeth trouble can be remedied
by denta work be accepted and or
dered TO report for military service.
The rigid requirements relating to
eycsight and hearing have been con-
siderably modified.
WILL MEN
ALREADY PASSED UPON
In view OF these notifications in the
physical requirements, IT is expected
that practically every exemption board
in the State will recall men for re-ex-
animation in cases where they have
been rejected for physical defects
which are no longer held to be bars.
Thus it is likely that many men who
thought they had escaped the draft
because physically deficient will find
themselves in uniforms when the
drafted forces arc called 10 the colors
on September l..
Every exemption board In Virginia
is now at work, according TO informa-
ton given out at the Adjutant-Cencr-
ais office. AS soon as each division
completes it's quotas the names are
sent TO the district exemption boards
for scrutiny. Thence they will be for
warded to the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of
hce. and in turn will be sent to the
War Department.
