ITO CALL TO CO[ORS
us. ARMY RESERVES
War Department Will Use
Regulars to Hasten 0rgan-
zati0n of New Recruits.

The regular army reserves are to be
called to the colors. They number be-
tween 1000 and 5000 men who have
seen actual service in the army. Their
employment at this time, it is expected,
will hasten the organization of new
units provided for by the army reor
ganization act.
The announcement was made at the
War Department last night. The call
is to be made within few days
Men who have been furloughed into
the reserve since November l. 1915,
after having been in active service
three years, will be affected. The pur-
pose is not only to provide new regi-
ments a once. but to furnish a work
ing test of the reserve provisions of
the law
The reserve may be called into active
service under the law in case of war
or emergency" About 10000 men are
needed for the additional units author
lied for this year by the reorganization
act. The War Department is deter
mined to develop these without break
ing up the existing units any more
than necessary. and it is understood
the decision to issue call to the colors
grew out of this desire rather than
from any further need of troops in the
Mexican emergency. officials believe
the call also will furnish fair work
ing test of the reserve system.
The departments announcement was
made in this formal statement:
War Departments Statement.
The War Department is going to
call out the regular army reserve. The
new national defense act passed June
3 provides for certain additional reg
ulars for the army. The men of the
reserves are to be used to fill up the
ranks of these new organizations.
This will be the first time the re-
serve has been called out since it was
crea tied by the act of November /, 1912,
and actual reserve force has been
available only since last November 1.
when the minimum three-year period of
active service ended The army act of
1872 provides an enlistment term of
seven years. four of which are in active
service and three in reserve 1t is pro-
vided, however. that men may be fur
Laughed into the reserve on their re-
quest after three years of active serv-
ice
The new units to be organized this
year are: Seven regiments of infan-
try. two regiments of cavalry. three
regiments of field artillery and two
regiments of engineers, in addition to !
a number of special troops.

MOBILIZATION PROCEEDS
ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE
State Soldiers Certain to Get Valu-
able Experience Before Released
From United States Service.

Mobilization of the National Guard
continues to go forward on schedule
according TO War Department reports,
and the state soldiers are certain to
get valuable experience upon the
border before they are released from
the federal service. Just how long it
will be necessary TO maintain all or
part of the force to aid the regulars
in patrol duty cannot now be predicted
with accuracy.
Events in Mexico will determine that
1t is certain, however, that the entire
mobile regular army will be kept in
border garrison while there is the re-
hottest danger of new bandit uprisings.
Sign of Relaxed Tension.
Publication of Secretary Bakers
order that members of the guard with
dependent families be discharged from
the service was the first sign at the
War Department that tension on the
border had relaxed.
1t is regarded making unnecessary
any Legislation on the subject of re-
lief for soldiers families and also car
ries out the expressed desire of Presi-
. dent Wilson that the border patrol
duty be arranged so as o-work as little
Inconvenience for the citizen soldiers
as possible.
