(Received July 21. 9.20 p.m.) LONDON, July 31. During the last decade thirty-four per cent of would-be army recruits in Britain have been rejected as medically unfit,.in addition to a large number of candidates who were not even examined on account of being obviously unfit. The cause of the rejection was poor physique.
