transferred to this service alone. The
medical corps also has been greatly in
creased and numerous necessary auxiliary
units for immediate duty abroad. not
thought of when the call was made v
been organized. Where enlisted men of
the guard or the regular army have been
taken, their places will W to be filled
with national army men.
, So far as known no definite figure as
to the probable total deficiency in men
has been compiled nor any estimate pre-
pared in the absence Of complete reports
from all guard divisions and auxiliary
corps. 1t is not unlikely, however, that
when the national army divisions are or
ganized many vacancies will be found at
| the cantonments and it will be necessary
either to make n second call on the drafted
forces or to train incomplete divisions.
Divisions will go to France only at
maximum strength.
FOOD SITUATION SATISFACTORY.
In a statement to-day the war depart
ment says that the industries Of the
lcountry are expanding rapidly to meet
the army supply demands, and only minor
shortages are expected at the training
camps. Quartermaster officials regard the
food situation as satisfactory.
The problem of obtaining clothing and
other equipment, however, has presented
many obstacles, most of which already
have been overcome. With 2,0O0. 900 men
to provide for and 5000, 000,0 600 to spend in
the first year the department faced a
gigantic task at the outbreak of war.
Difficulties arose from the outset" the
statement says. There was a shortage
of wool. a shortage of luck for tentage
and leggins. a shortage of fast dyes for
uniforms and a shortage of labor. There
was no appreciate shortage Of cotton,
but a shortage of looms.
"These difficulties have been and are
being gradually overcome. The item Of
tentage furnishes an illustration. The
department desired to place orders for
fifty million yards of tentage. The nor
NAL output of the country Is twenty
million yards per annum. All along the
line Industrial establishments had to be
expanded to meet unprecedented de-
mands.
'The first officers training camp
brought a rush order to the quartermaster
department for approximately 100000 uni
forms. The equipment of technical
troops. authorized by Congress after the
declaration of war. brought other unex-
pected demands. The quartermaster de-
partment has also supplied six months
equipment for the expeditionary force now
In France and has contributed to the
equipment of the medical units.
"All this time preparations were con-
tinued for the opening Of the canton
ments. Incipient b troubles n a
shortage of raw materials for a while
retarded this major task. A great Indus
trial expansion became necessary"

Represent 45 per Cent. of Total Quota Under
First Call From Each of 5000 Local Boards
Enormous Task of Obtaining Equipment
and Supplies Moving Satisfactorily-Next
Question Is Whether Number of Men Will Be
Sufficient to Fill Call Units of National
Guard and National Army.

Washington. Sept. 1s.-Marshaled for
the last time as civilians and under civil
ian authority more than 100000 young men
of the National army will 90 forward to
be trained for the battle against German
autocracy. Their next move will be as
fighting men towards the battle fields Of
France.
The whole nation will be astir with the
movement Of the selective forces. The
men represent approximately IS per cent.
Of the total quota under the first call from
each Of nearly 5000 local boards. AL
ready at the m Is the advance guard
Of five per cent. of the total, composed of
experienced men, including cooks. Out of
this has been created a skeleton organiza-
ton into which the second increment will
begin to be absorbed tomorrow with lit
tie confusion. When the last man Of this
increment arrives the camps will house
half Of the first call forces, or 343,-
500 men and the other half will follow as
rapidly as quarters and equipment are
made available.
ENORMOUS TASK AHEAD.
In a statement tonight the war depart
ment says the enormous task of obtaining
equipment and supplies for the army lie
moving satisfactorily. Some of the men
of the National army may be only par
TALLY equipped for some time after they
are modified, and no attempt will be
made to furnish them with full war equip
ment until the eve Of their departure for
Europe. Some civilian clothing, such as
overcoats will have to be used for a time.
as the clothing industry has not as yet
caught up with it's work.
With the mobilization Of one-half OF
the 6S7 1000 men of the first call under
the selective draft law in progress, the
question arises as to whether that
number of men will be sufficient to fill
call units of the National Guard and
National army. There are indications
that a deficiency in men will be dis
closed when the official reports from
all the 80 training camps are avail
able.
Seventeen divisions of the National
Guard have been organized, but with
the exception of the New York. Penn
sylvania and a few others and the 42nd
division which will soon embark fol
