Anticipating that such a course
would prove popular. scores OF manu-
facturers OF Christmas greeting cards
and folders throughout the country
have placed on the market various

Attention is directed by the War
Department to the Importance of
eliminating the mentally unfit. This
elimination should, it was recently
pointed out be made at the time
that the registrants are given
neuro-psychiatric examinations, but
any cases which are subsequently
detected must be, the War Depart
ment directs, eliminated from or
ganizations promptly. Careful dis
elimination between psychiatric and
psychological examinations" says
the War Department instructions,
must be made; the latter are not
considered in deciding on the ac-
ceptance or rejection of a regis
trant or in the discharge of a SOL
dier. Special Regulations No. 65
and Army Regulations, Par. 159,
govern and the provisions of the
latter are extended to include COM
manding officers of replacement
camps and other camps under the
command of general officers. Re-
ports from France indicate that a
large number of men suffering from
mental disorders have been allowed
to go with replacements. The nee
esSdFy corrective measures must be
applied in the camps of the United
States"
Brig. Gen. Samuel McRoberts, head
of the Procurement Division, has re-
turned to Washington from a two
months tour of inspection in Eng
land and France. Declaring that the
Browning gun, is now being delivered
in quantity to the American forces in
France. Gen. McRoberts said that the
gun has thus far SO successfully met
the various tests imposed upon it
over there that the British and
French governments have asked that
any surplus number produced be
made available for use by the British
and French armies. Regarding the
U. S. Model 1917 rifle, being made for
the American soldiers, Gen. McRob-
erts said: This rifle has won the
hearty Endorsement of our soldiers
who have tried it out in battle. 1t
is proving to be an aIl-round practi-
cal weapon for actual lighting, and
the soldiers are enthusiastic over its
performance" Asked concerning his

Gen. Peyton C. March. Chief of

inches below the knee may be from

A steerage steward in the navy
enlisted at Cavite, P. l., and was
honorably discharged from the servI

was attached made an inquiry of the
comptroller If the discharged man
could be paid travel allowance back
to Cavite by way of the United

In making this inquiry the pay Of
ficer pointed out that owing to the
submarine menace the usual short
est route from England TO the Phil
ippines, via the Mediterranean and
the Suez Canal, has been closed to
passenger steamers and such ships
are now routed by way of the Cape
of Good Hope; and that in view of
this fact ii appeared to him the
shortest usually travelled route
prescribed by travel regulations
would be to New York and San
Francisco where the enlisted man
could take a steamer directly to the
Philippines In reply to this request

months, he said: I'VE were particu-
larry interested to find out whether
this captured material showed any
improvements or change in type. As
far as we could learn the trench
mortars, machine guns and artillery
taken from the enemy in recent op-
erations show nothing in the way
of new ideas or striking improve
ments, nor any particular superiority
over the allied arms. On the other
hand. it was interesting to note by
examination of the captured pieces
that the enemy, wherever possible,
is using substitutes for the metals
other than steel, notably for brass
and copper. Where it is essential to
use these materials he uses them,
but the use of the substitutes else
where indicates the necessity he is
under of conserving carefully his sup
ply of copper and brass"
Although refraining from discuss
ing the quantities or types of ord
nance material which the United
States will be called upon to produce
in the future, Gen. McRoberts declar-
ed that he had brought back with him
the knowledge that the needs along
this line will be tremendous. Dur

and American fronts in France, he
