RID FATIMA A Sensible Cigarette ENLISTED MEN CAN ENTER WEST POINT IN FUTURE Stimulus has been glevn to local recruiting in the United States Army at the recuriting station in the Laning building by the announcement that candidates for West Point will be selected from the regular army. Already a number of 1o- cal young men with ambitions to rise in the country's service have enlisted. In the past many young men, it is said, have been kept out of the regular army through the fear that they would not be able to rise to any high office.

An opportunity to secure appointment to West Point could not be secured by them. Recently, however, Congress approved the following act: "That the President is hereby authorized to appoint cadets to the United States Military Academy from among enlisted men of the Regular Army between the ages of nineteen and twentytwo years who have served as enlisted men not less than one year, to be selected under such regulations as the President may prescribe." Besides this new provision, all of the former oportunities for promotion still prevail in the Army. Unmarried soldiers under 30 years of age. who are citizens of the United States, who are physically sound. who have served honorably not less than two years in the army and who have borne a good moral character before and after enlistment, are permited to compete by examination for promotion to the rank of second lieutenant.
