with the issue Of proclamation draft
ing the state troops into the army OF
the United States on Aug. 5.
To make certain that the purpose OF
| the national defense act is carried out
the proclamation also specifically de-
/ clares the men drafted to be dis
charged from the old militia status on
, that date. In that way the constitu-
tionaI restraint upon use of militia
outside the country is avoided and the
way paved for sending the regiments
to the European front
To Take $4,000 Men.
Unofficially it was indicated that
$4,000 is the number of men to be
selected for the frs, national war army
| from the millions registered June ..
| Probably twice that number OF
names will be drawn, as the number OF
exemptions to be allowed is estimated
| at so per cent. Next Saturday is un-
| derstood to have been tentatively fixed
| upon as the date for the drawing, al
| tho no announcement has been made
| by the provost marshal generals office.
! Prior to the application of the DRAFT
