I No Man Con Volunteer After December 15

- From and after December 15 all I men within the draft age can not volunteer their services for the army. All those young men within the draft age who desire to volunteer must do so in sufficient time to permit them to reach Indianapolis some time on December 13, as the enlistment of an applicant must be entirely accomplished prior to midnight of the 14th, and in order to do this, it is necessary for the recruiting officer to send the applicant to Fort Thomas, Ky., to which place the enlistment is accomplished, and if applicants do not arrive at Indianapolis before December 13 their enlistment cannot be accomplished by midnight of the 14th, and they will therefore lose their right to volunteer. From and after December 15, the only person eligible to volunteer for the army are those under the draft age, over the draft age, and those young men who have become 21 years of age since June 6, 1917. No person can be accepted in the army over 40 years of age.
