GUS Course.

Camp Dix, Wrightown, N. J., Oct
24.--The strenuous introduction Of re-
cruits Of the first draft to their so-callcd
physical torture will be modified here
for the men Of greater age who report
in the next draft call Physical training
and athletic officers are already prepar-
ing new schedule, under ,orders from
Washington, for these older rockies.
w hle these new m n, officers declare can
be made as rugged and hardy as the
earlier recruits, the work of getting them
into this form Of physical perfection
must be undertaken with more care to
avoid danger Of oyertasing their systems
during the early stages of training The
physical training of the older men viii
come Mt just the time in their lives to be
the most beneficial training directors
here believe. The average man above 30,
they say, IS likely To give up sports and
outdoor activities Just at that time In
his life when he needs them most. The
building of their systems through army
work, officers say, will add many years
to the average life Of these men of the new
armies.
New recruits called to Dix in the next
quotas will get their first touch of the
camp spirit or morale through intro
duction to war songs sung in the typical
army style in n program arranged by
Austin Hughes, the Metropolitan Opera
singer, who has arrived to take up bis
duties as song lender. lie comes from
the Naval Training Barracks ut Cape

attention Hughes will carry out the
general program of camp singing as
established by predecessors here and
which has since been adopted as the
general model for many camps La addition
he will plan for some innovations rs

Reports from The schools for soldiers
established here by the army show that
thousands Of men will return to civil
life after the war better qualified to win
success The cagerncss that some Of
