NEW YORK, July O.-What
kind of recruits will compose tho
new national army soon To be
selected for service?
How does American manhood
compare with the armies of the
allies-the British Tommies and
the French pOilus?
What percentage of our boys
will he rejected for physical unfit
ness?
The surgeon general of the U.
S. army is to be charged with the
final responsibility of accepting
or rejecting recruits-one mil
lion strong-who will be sum-
moned to the colors. Physical
standards will be slightly relaxed
over those obtaining for the U. s.
army, but only for very minor
defects.
The army that will go to Eu-
rope will consist of the finest
body of men ever assembled.
Eight hundred and fifty-three men
out of each thousand who applied
for enlistment and were exam
ined last year measured up to the
rigid physical examination re-
quired.
The percentage is expected to
be higher among the men called
for the new national army, since
thy comprise the pick of American
manhood in age and general de-
velopment.
The minimum standards
for the selected service men
will he 5 feet 4 inches in
height, weight 100 pounds,
and chest expansion 81 inches
ut expiration.
Army experience shows the
majority OF American men
exceed these standards. More
than half Of the men called
will measure ) feet 3 inches
and over In height.
Last year 81 per cent of
all recruits accepted ex-
ceeded this measurement.
Nearly three-quarters of the
men, or az per cent, will
weigh 135 pounds or over;
and nearly half, or about 43
per cent, will have chest
measurements Of 81 inches
and over.
Only $50 men in each thousand
called will be rejected for physi-
cal reasons. The new army will
take only men up to the scratch.
The largest number of reflections
last year in the army were of men
infected with diseases due to
moral delinquency. One hundred

SALON|KI PRESENTS
 TERRIBLE SPECTACLE FOLLOWING BIC FIRE

Salonilzi, October 10-(Staff Corre- spondence of the Associated Press.) Tbis stricken city presents weird and terrible spectacle after the great conflagration that has destroyed two- thirds of it, leaving 70,000 homeless refugees, with a property loss of 500,- 100000 francs. The strange part of it is that in the midst of this desert of ashes the stern realities of the war -vnpe1 incessant activity and along tide the ruin is the roar of the vast preparation of the army of the orient. one of the vital links in the chain en- circling the central powers.
 Tho report circulated In America that Saloniki was set on fire by the enemy as a military maneuver against General Sarrails army is groundless. The fire started in a small way, from using coal oil in a stove in the poor quarters. A fierce gale did the rest, scattering cinders over the town until 1t was ablaze from end to end.
 The indications are Saloniki will stay burned until after the war. There is talk that the Americans are coming to rebuild it. The city accepts the re- port as true and is talking of what American money and enterprise will do. The proprietor of the Continental hotel, which has been burned, told me the contract had been signed for American reconstruction. But Consul General Horton says 1t is all talk 50 far and has assumed no definite form. The Greek government expects to do the rebuilding but lacks the money for such a task. Meantime q great army headquarters must be carried on amid the ashes and the Servian government will soon arrive to set up capital in the ashes.
