MAKE CHANGE Hi ARMY REQUIREMENTS Army Recruiter Wright made Mae

following announcement Monday: No person under the age of 18 years can be accepted for enlistment in the regular army. No person who has registered under the selective service law can volunteer his services In the regular army. The mere fact that a man who registered is not in class 1 makes no difference. We can not accept him under any circumstances after he has once registered under the selective service law. Such men must apply to ' their local boards as that is the. only channel through which they can enter the service. No colored applicants can be accepted for the army as the stevedore regiments are filled up. No applicant under 21 years of age will be enlisted unless he brings with him evidence of his age, and this evidence must be in the shape of a birth certificate or a certificate copy of same or a school certificate which shows his age, or a certificatecopy of the record of his baptism, or sworn affidavit of his

father or mother. You can get blank affidavit from the army recruiting station. The physical requirements have somewhat changed. Applicants with defective vision and corrected with glasses are accepted. Also the fact that a man has gonorhea will no longer bar him from enlisting. A stiff finger that does not interfere with function of the hand' will no longer tar him from enlisting. The loss of one finger on either hand except it be the right index finger, will not be a cause for rejection, nor the loss of the thumb on the left hand.
