NEW YORK CAN RAISE
HALF A MILLION MEN
State Health Department Furnishes
Result Of lite Census Data.

Albany.-If the United States becomes
embroiled in war more than half mil
lion men will be available in this state
for military service and about the same
number will be ready for secondary de-
Tense.
This information, obtained by the
state health department from census
data of the physical condition Of men
presenting themselves for enlistment,
has been given to Adjutant General
Stotesbury.
The estimated population Of New
York state for 1917 is 10,490,6S0. OF
this number 2,4sO,O0O are males from
eighteen to forty-fve years old and liza
BILE to military service.
The report of the adjutant general O..
the United States for the year ending
June 80, 1916, shows that less than a
quarter of the applications for enlist
ment at recruiting stations throughout
the country were accepted. On this
basis $4,000 men would be available
for military service in this state. Act
ing State Health Commissioner VIII
liams estimates that the physical con-
dition of at least the same number
would not be such as to prevent them
from home defense service.
