A check up ON tuberculosis among

men who have this important matter

the next few days as preliminaries

that September II, the anniversary
of the Battle of St. Mihiel, when with
Pershing in personal command the
American Army in France struck it's
first great blow and won it's first
great victory, was selected instead.

Secretary Weeks indicated that he
found encouragement in the fact that
1t has been necessary, during the
year in which plans for the test have
been maturing, to make very few
changes in the original project He
emphasized the democratic character
of the system, adding that it's success
depended wholly upon the whole

everywhere with the Army authori-

of men we're expected to volunteer
their services to fill the role of SOL

order that the test might have a
VISUAL lesson to spectators in every
community which is cooperating in
the scheme.
War Department officials hesitated,
however. to place any estimate upon
the probable total of this voluntary
enrolment. 1t may reach million
or more, if the estimates in the vari-
Gus corps areas are based on reliable
information. Reports will reach
Washington late today from all nine
areas on which fairly accurate
statement in this regard can be made.
Number Not Vital.
