TO TRAIN OFFICERS
FOR DRAF TED FORCE
War Department Announces
Plans for Instruction of
First Ten Thousand.
ARRANGING FOR BIG ARMY

A full outline of plans for training
the first ten thousand officers for the
first 100000 troops raised by selective
conscription was made public today by
the War Department.
After three months of instruction at
the training camps the ten thousand
officers for sixteen infantry and two
cavalry divisions will be selected from
the total of 10000 and assigned to reg
iments which will be called to the col
ors a month or two later. The other
80. 900 men who are found qualified will
be commissioned in the Officers Reserve
Corps and called out for duty as needed
Sites for the mobilization camps have
not been announced. but they will be in
each case within the limits of the dis
tricts prescribed for the officers train
ing camps.
Companies to Be Formed.
For the first of their training the
officer candidates will be organized
into fourteen infantry companies and
drilled as such by regular and National
Guard officers and such of their own
number as may be qualified for COM
mand. Then they will be organized
by individual fitness into nine infantry
companies, three batteries of artillery
and two troops of cavalry.
Those designated for coast artillery
will go either to Fort Monroe, Va.
or Fort Winfield Scott, Cal. for two
months of special instruction, while
those for Signal Corps, aviation or
other special services will be assigned
to special training dnits.
The departments statement lays
great stress on the fact that mature
men, schooled for responsible positions,
will be sought particularly in select
ing the first 10000. In later training
camps younger men are expected to
predominate.
Plans for District Contingent.
From the outline of the districts for
the officers training camps 1t is shown
that the troops to be raised in the Dis
trict of Columbia under the selective
conscription bill will be formed into a
division with those from New Jersey.
Delaware. Maryland and Virginia. The
training camps for that division will
be located within the general district
covered by those states.
While the officers of the division will
be trained at Fort Myer. Va, no indi-
cation of the location OF the mobilixa-
tion camps for the troops them selves
has been given at the War Department
1t is known, however. that tentative
sites have been selected.
