No more classes of gentlemen cadets will bel entered into Royal Military College at Kingston, Ont., until after the war, National Defence Headquarters announces. Accommodation and training facilities made available by the decision will be used to accommodate courses for about 150 officers, the announcement said. Such courses ivill include a senior officers‘ course, a company commanders’ course and probably a junior staff course. The two fovnicr courses i ill last about two months ezicli, and the latter for about three months. Courses for company commanders have been conducted at the Royal Military College since last July.
