NATIONAL ARMY
Fitting Members Into
Effective Parts
Regular Army Recruiting Machinery
viii Be .UtiIizsd to Fill Existing
Needs Of Draft Army

Aver, Mass. Sept. 1.-THE work of
fitting the members of the national
army into their most effective parts
in the modern complicated military
machine was started at the canton
ment today. corps of officers began
sorting out the cards on which the
mems qualifications and occupations
are listed in order TO make sure for
example that chemists are not mis-
placed in the signal corps and that
.elegraphers who would be valuable in
signal work are properly assigned. 1t
is the plan of the army leaders to use
the special abilities of each man TO
the utmost.
In view of the fact that skilled work
men are as necessary TO the army as 10
4 big industrial establishment. II vas
announced tonight that regular army
recruiting machinery would be utii-
lied 10 fill the existing needs of the
draft army. A man could enlist at a
regular army recruiting station, it was
said. and upon application could be
transferred TO the draft army. In this
way IL was hoped to obtain certain
grades Of skilled help that are neces-
sary, particularly cooks.
No word was received at the camp
from the war department today re-
garding the request of Gov. Mccall TO
defer summoning the second quota Of
Massachusetts, men to service until
after the state primaries, Sept. IS.
The next quota of 40 per cent is due
TO move towards the cantonment Sept.
~. The equipment will be ready for
them on schedule time, it was stated at
headquarters. and the training of the
first FIVE per cent quota has been d.
rected so as to absorb the additional
1000 men into camp routine without
friction. The Bay State troops in the
next contingent number approximate
" 5000.
Plans for tahlishing regimental
funds were discussed todav. 1t is ex-
pected that each regiment will have
fund Of $1,000 of which each COM
pany's share will be $500, for the pur-
chase of such incidentals necessary to
the welfare and comfort Of the SOL
diers as the government does not fur
nish. Most of the formal national
guard regiments already have such
funds and the need for them in the
draft army is Just as great. il was
pointed out

Washington, Sept 14.-Reports that
the government is contemplating re-
Questioning wheat on the farms to

night by Herbert Hoover, food admin

no disposition by farmers. Mr.. Hoov-
er said. 10 withhold wheat from the
