Harry Moore Fails to Meet Physical Requirements.

Harry Moore, son of Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Moore, of this city, wired from Annapolis, Md„ today that he had failed to quality in the physical test and that he would start home immediately. ■ . . Harry left Rensselaer last week for the Naval Training School Academy at Annapolis to study for an examination next month, which if passed, would permit him to enter the school and take the entire course afforded by that school. He was recently one of the three young mgn named from this congressional dm-" trict by W. R. Wood. The naval authorities are very .strict when it comes to these examinations, especially the physical testT and consequently Harry will not get a further trial. It is probable that James Babcock, of Parr, the third young man to be appointed, will now be given the chance of taking the test at the school.
