ment today.
President Wilson has signed an order
allowing the commission to waive. in
the case OF discharged soldiers, many
physical defects that otherwise would
bar men from working for Uncle
Sam.
The change is embodied in an
amendment to rule 5 OF the civil
service regulations applying to phys

The commission may, In its discre-
ton. exempt from the physical re-
quirements established for any posi-

Board for Vocational Education, that
he has been specifically trained for
and has passed a practical test dem
onstrating his physical ability to per
form the duties OF the class OF posi-
ton in which employment Is sought"
The amendment adds that where
the board does not consider IL desir-
able to attempt the education Of the
man for the position sought. other
positions will be considered and sug
gested TO him.
The Government Is not only willing
to stretch a point in allowing a Grip
pied man TO try for employment IN
the civil service. but ~ anxious %
reach out after him and show him
just what openings there may be for
him and train him along any line for
which he has a taste.
The regulations OF the service
specify that certain defects may de-
bar from ali positions and other
losses will debar from certain others.
In many cases soldiers having any
OF the debarring disabilities have been
fitted with artificial limbs that enable
them not only to take Up their own
work but to learn other work.
