Orders Physical Test.
The reductions in grade mention
ed are due TO the fact that all of the
officers in the list. with the excep-
ton of Gems. Barry and Morton,
were holding their higher grades
only for the period of the war, and
by virtue of the fact that they were
assigned to the national army.
Maj. Gen. Peyton c. March. act
ing chief-of-staff of the army. an
nouncing the action taken made it
plain that it was but the beginning
OF a general wedding out from field
commands of the physically unit.
Henceforth no general officer is
to be sent to the front who fails

Leonard Wood. it was indicated,
will be required to return home to
take the tests.
The fact that officers assigned
to national army commands were
the first to feel the effects OF the
new order. it was learned, is due
to the fact that orders have gone
out to push ahead the movement
of selective draft divisions to
France.

This made things look bad for the

This awful confession was made
by Roy Carvel. And he looked the

Mildred Williams got permission
from her mother last Thursday
night to go to the movies.
Just as the villain was about to

She blushed. stop dat. yo black

But Roy wouldn't stop. He ac'

The usher got a cop. And the col
recognized Roy as the. fellow whC
had been worrying the girls on pre-
Yious occasions.
Roy persisted and persisted tina
he was not the man.
But the usher of the movie the

And so there was nothing for tn,
court to do, but to send him t
