Latest advices from the War De-

The 10000 men who are now COM

of those In the country who have had
previous military experience and are
not now In service. Previous mill

qualifications for this first camp and,
consequently, eliminated a great num-

These men are now given their
chance. The War Department, in an
nouncing its plans for the second
camp, which opens August q, en-
phasizes the fact that previous mill
tary experience is not a requirement
Even those men who have had such
an experience six or seven years age
will have only very slight prefer
ence. For 1t Is pointed out that mill
tary methods since that time have un.
dergone radical change, that train.
Ing gained at that time Is no longer
of special value. So the handicap tc
the unframed man has been removed
1t Is pointed out, also, that the mer
who are particularly desired in this
new camp are those of the age Of
twenty-five years and over Although
there has been considerable emphasis
laid on the needs for men of more ma.
ture age, the War Department does
not want to infer that the younger
men are not welcome. In fact. quite
the contrary Is the case. For there
are many very desirable commissions
for which the younger and men NOR,

successfully than those of greater
