Information with regard to the com.
 ing training camp for officers in Ari-
 zona, has been received. Summarized,
 this information is as follows:
 Men who have app,;e6 for the first
 series of camps must re-apply whether
 or not certified as suitable for the first camps. They will have no pref
 erence in selection for these camps, and will be on an equal basis with oth- CT applicants. The minimum age limit is 20 years and months, but in order to obtain the experienced class of men desired, preference will be given to men over S1 years of age, oth- CT things being equal. Because of the anticipated large number of applica tions, it will be probably difficult for men under that age to qualify except in instances where the applicant has pre-eminent qualifications or unusual military experience.
 Applicants must file application on blank to be obtained from command ing generals of the departments in which they reside. Those who are certified as acceptable for the present series of camps, but wno are not di- rected ro attend, must renew their applications, and department com manders have been directed to return papers filed with previous applica- tions to such applicants.
