 The Adtutant Generals office at Washington now makes the admission that every State has filed it's quota of troops under each call of the President. The inaccurate reports emanating from the War Department last week proyok- ed storm of indignation throughout the country. The misleading state ments concerning California were so quickly corrected by the official records from this State that the Adjutant Gen eral in Washington, was no doubt prompted to look further to ascertain if other States had not been misrepre- sented in the figures given to the Asso- ciated Press. In looking up the records he found that all the troops called for had been enrolled but that some of the States had not officially reported the enrolment.
 The official order directing the move ment of troops from Camp Merritt to the Presidio Is at last promulgated. The departure of regiments from Rich mopd will begin tomorrow. when the Seventh California will break camp and. march to the reservation.
