Staff Coi respondent Camp Hastings, Jit. Oretna. Mrv C Many more recruits will be needed than was at first figured on, If the latlo of failures continues ns It has proceeded bo far. Out of the llrst thlity-nlne men of Company r put tlnough the physical test, thirteen failed to pass. Eleven of these, howeer, were for "underweight" nnd as Company r Is a "young fellowH" company It possibly Is not a fair clterion to go by The examination began at 9.30 o'clock this morning. The orders weie that nn effort should be made to examine two companies a d.i.. )r. 1'aike, after be ing at wotk for nn hour, figured It out that they would not examine more than about a company and a halt a dav. At that rate It means tho lattei pait of next week will scarcely see the examinations of both regul.us and lecrults completed. That Company K's showing Is not a fair one to compute by Is evidenced by tho fact that its namesake in the Ninth lost only two men out of their com mand by reafcon of physical unfitness. Tho tist is not by any means as stikt as Is followed out at regular aimy leciuitlng stations, but it is nevertheless that strict that a man who has any eldent physical impair ment that would incapacitate him is at once rejected. Tho difference be tween tho regular aimy examination and that being conducted here can bo Judged by this statement, that six- men an hour is (onsldeied good woik bv tho suigeons at the remitting stations, while heio twenty an hour Is the nor mal rate. EXAMINED IN HOSPITAL. The Thliteenth's surgeons, Doctois 1'aike, Keller and Rlnnchard, are mak ing their examinations In a temporal y addition to tho hospital lent. The com panies are called out a squad at a time and lined up "at ease" in fiont of the tent. Lieutenant Harry Decker calls the names in alphabetical order and, while one man is going through the ordeal, the next man is making if.idy. Tho applicant is stripped to the waist, and removes shoes and stockings that the nll-lmpoitant ques tion of "sound hoofs" can be inquired Into. One doctor looks after weight, height, and chest expansion, another attends to xislon and heating and an other makes a general and caieful siz ing up ftom a rritical plivbiuil stand point. The deseriptio part of the work, fruch as color of eyes and hair, name, occupation, age, rank, teglment, brig ade, nativity, residence and the like are looked after by Hospital Stew aid J. r. Raumelster and the company's clerk. fortunately for the Thirteenth regi ment the tatio of failures did not con tinue. From Zi 1-3 per cent, the ratio for the fitst half of Company V, tt dropped to ten per cent, for the latter half and when the country companies G and E, went on the rack the percent age dropped to about six. The average percentage of failure thus far Is about 1C. Altogether today there weie 147 men examined of whom 23 were vejected and then referred to Surgeon Major Hall, tho chief examiner. Company F lost 1C of these 23, Company G, r, and tlireu jeferted; Company E, 2 Only 35 of Company E's men, however, were ex amined.

Fourteen all told were reject ed for underweight, 2 on account of hernia, one for bclnp over the ago limit, I for bad corn, 2 for vision nml 3 for serious physical disability. The men who were turned down, or the most of them at any iato, are very pore. Sev eral spent the day pulling wires to have the rules stretched sulllclently to let them In. Serjeant ndwaid" of Company I was Interceded for "by his ollicers who regard him ns one of the best soldleM In the regiment, but It vas of no avail. Ills weight Is 116, twelve pounds short and Major Hall declined to take It for granted that lie would with good feed ing reach the required heft.' Edwards claims he weighed 129 pounds before coming here. William Williams, of Company I', was referred to Major Hall because of his exrcsMve weight, tip ping the scale at 220 pounds, stripped. Williams pleaded hard and after pome hesitation Major Hull said: "Well boy, If you promise to whip your weight of Spanish I'll accept you " Williams ptomlsivl. The medical men's mowing down of Its tanks and the fact that twenty one of Its members nie minors who &.J WtMk wlillrv fW may not secuie their patents' lonsent to volunteer, places Company F in a deploiable condition. Sixty-three of Its men volunteeted, sixteen weie knocked out by the plivsleal test, five. It is thought, will be refused parents' con sent. Seventy-eight men nie needed. At this rate Captain Fellows has only half a company now at his command. TIME FOR DEPARTURE. The older fixing the line for the departuie of the non-volunteeis has not been Issued as jet.

The efforts of Quar termaster Cox to havo the Issue In creased proved successful and now there Is a plenty; that Is, every man Is getting the full shnre allowed by the United States army table. Reforo Lieu tenant Cox mado his llttlo protest, the regiment was sharing Its allowance with the additional men, such ns un enllstcd recruits, conks, hostelers nnd "bummers." Now, there Is nn extin allowance mado for these men nnd everything Is moving satisfactorily In tho mess tents. The soldiers were much gratified to learn In Tho Tribune of the movement to form a tellef fund for the families of their comrades who ate In poor cir cumstances financially. Had this move ment nssumed definite shnpc before the muster took place the Thirteenth would have made even a better show ing thnn It did.
