WANT MEN UNDER 81
IN officers CAMP
War Department HaStens TO
Correct Misconception as
TO Ages Desired
Is TO 35 OLDS
MOST SUITABLE

WASHINGTON, July 6-Convinced
that many desirable men arc holding
bac, their applications for the second
officers training camp because of a mis-
conception OF the requirements, Adlu-
tant General Me- lain issued state
mont last night making it clear that
Intelligent and forcefu' men are want
ed, even ii they are under thirty -one
years of age and without military train
ing.
The previous statement Of the War
Department that it will be difficult rOr
men within the draft age or without
military experience to gam admission 10
the camps has resulted officials believe,
iu an impression that applications from
such men will not be- considered. On
the contrary, it is pointed out, those OF
demonstrated executive ability IN civil
ian pursuits, ranging in age from Is up
ward are a type earnestly desired.
General McClain's statement was
given out through the public in
formation committee. with request
that the newspapers give it prominence
because the success of the second camp
series depends ON correction of the pro
vailing misconception. 1t follows:
The statement that mature men viii
be given preference for the second series
of officers training camps seems to have
been misunderstood in some quarters
This preference will only apply where
qualifications are equal There is no in
tention TO bar out applications by men
undcr thirty-one In fact, examining or
iicers have been instructed 10 regard the
ages of twenty-five to thirty-hye as the
most suitable There is also some mis-
understanding about the necessity of
previous military experience. The Gov
eminent Is looking primarily Tor intein-
gent and forceful men. and military ex-
perience though desirable, is not strictly
necessary.
Applications for these camps will close
on July Is.
