NEW DRAFT REGULATIONS LIGHTEN PHYSICAL TESTS.

New regulations for physical examination of draft registrants, changing weight, height and. other conditions and providing partial military service for men not actually rejected, were announced by Provost Marshal General Crowder. Local boards are directed to reject no registrant on account of foot or teeth defects and to accept in most cases all men with temporary or remedical defects.
