tons Only of Specially
Qualified After Today

Candidates recommended by the
local examining board for the off,
GERS training camp at Fort Niagara
have passed the $50 mark. The office
this morning was packed because no
applications could be filed after
noon and the half-dozen physicians
who have been examining candidates
were overworked.
Although no word has been re-
ceived from the War Department on
an extension of time for enrolling ap-
licants, the Military Training Camps
Association issued a bulletin from
New York this morning that speci-
fically qualified applicants for the
camps may be examined until May
Z. Names and addresses will be re-
ported by wire to Camp Commander
Colonel Samuel w. Miller.
Captain Harrell has placed the fol-
lowing Interpretation upon the
term specially qualified" and after
Monday no applicant will receive
any consideration at the recruiting
office except men of real military
training, educated and of broad eX-
perience in affairs generally, on an
average between the ages of 20 and
40 years,
The men who have been recon-
mended for the camp as having pass
ed the physical examinations and
being possessed of the necessary edu-
cational and military qualifications
will have to be approved by the
camp commander before being
ordered to the camp. Possibly nifty
per cent. of the number recommend
ed will be among the number finally
accepted, and the $500 who are to
go will be notified on May or of
their selection. They will report at
Fort Niagara not later than May IA
and will receive each 500 month
