as respective reasons her inability to
be with him and the fact that she was
so entirely his. Because he would not
let himself hope this time he was not
disappointed, or at least so he told
himself, when he found only Dexter
Allison with Caleb the next afternoon

eyes went rowing around the room
then, looking for Archibald Wicker

GUARD ENTERS ]. $.
 SERVICE AUGUST 5
PRESIDENT WILSON PAVES WAY TO SEND STATE TROOPS
 TO FRANCE.
IA CAMP SITES ARE READY
Seven Sites Selected Are in South eastern Department, Five in South ern and Two in Western-Will Be
 Relieved of Old Militia Status.

Washington.-The last step neees- guard available for duty in France was taken by President Wilson with the issue of proclamation drafting the state troops into the army of the United States on August }.
 To make certain that the purpose of the national defense act is carried out, the proclamation also specifcal- ly declares the men drafted to be dis charged from the old militia status on that date. In that way the constitu- tional restraint upon use of militia outside the country is avoided and the way paved for sending the regi- ments to the European front.
 Prior to the application of the draft. regiments in the northern and east ern sections of the country are call ed into the federal service as na- tional guardsmen in two increments, 10 be mobilized on July 15 and 25. Many units already are federalized and presumably they will be mobiliZ- ed with the other troops from their states. The guard from the other states will be mobilized on the day of the draft. The arrangement was necessary to provide for movement of the regiments south to their concen- tration camps without congestion and to the same end the division of states into these increments was revised from the original schedule.
 The operative date of the draft was delayed until August , so that all regiments can be taken into the army simultaneously to avoid inequal- ities in the relative rank of officers.
 Fourteen camp sites for the sixteen tactical divisions into which the guard will be organized for war pur- poses have already been selected and the militia bureau is preparing the railway routing of the troops to the camps. Seven of the sites selected are in the southeastern department, five in the southern and two in the western. The two others will be n tho southeastern department, and un- til they are approved assignment Cf regiments to camps and divisions can not be fully worked out. The only two divisions positively assigned are the nineteenth, including the Califor- mia guard, which will go to Linda Vista, Cal, and the twentieth. includ- ing Oregon, Washington and other states in the northwest, which will go to Palo Alto, Cal.
