cen.age Of physical disqualification is
estimated at not more than twenty
percent and probably less because of
the recent lowering Of physical re-

percent would mean that about $780,

the number of available mon down to
2,496,000.
In classes four and two, about four
million have been placed. practically
equal numbers being in each division.
