FLOW Of TROOPS
NOW At FULL TIDE
FIFTH THOUSAND MEN TO BE
AT AMERICAN BASE IN FRANCE
BY MIDDLE OF OCTOBER.
Believed That Men Drafted Will Not
See Service This Year, the National
Guardsmen and Regulars Being
First in the Field.

WashingtOn.-The southwark move
ment of troops has reached its greatest
point.
Within ten days or two weeks, the
entire national guard, with the eXcep-
ton of the three rainbow divisions
which have been selected for early
duty in France, will be in the camps
to which they were assigned.
This became known Friday in con-
nection with indications that the war
department plans to have not less
than 10000 troops ut the American
base in France by the middle Of Oc-
tober, and that the number probably
will be nearer 10000
The Americans will do heavy train
ing in France during the winter and
will. be ready for battle on the west
front in the spring drive. BY the
time the men now trained and train
ing are at the front, fully five times
their number-25O,OO O-wili have been
gathered at the American base.
These tentative figures obtained Fri
day in authoritative quarters indicate
two things:
First-That the heaviest troop
movement probably will take place
during the winter months when sub
marines are least effective.
Second-That the conscript army
will not even start abroad until late
next year.
The men drafted will not see serv-
ice this year, unless all signs fail.
And even then not more than 10000
of the 6s7 900 drafted are likely to 20
To the front for many months at least.
The ma jority-fully 320,OOO-will be
held rs depot and reserve troops. The
iS7 900 reserve drafted in addition It
the authorized increment of 100000
are not included in these figures.
Tie movement of national guards
men to the south is being expedited as
much as possible, as it is these troops
| together with the regulars already
abroad and still in this country, and
| the voluntary recruits who will form
the first active fighting force.

GIVE CALF PALS ATTENTION
During Warm Weather Especial At
tention Should Be Given to Uten-
sils-keep Them Clean.

The farmer who uses the swill pail
for feeding calves or who hangs the
pail on n post between feelings with
out washing 1t will soon be looking for
n cure for calf scours. The dirty calf
pail is one of the chief causes of
scours. according TO L. w. Wing. Jr.,
of the University of Missouri College
of Agriculture. With the fly season
and warm weather at hand extra pre-
cautions must be taken in caring for
the calf pals. They should be washed
thoroughly after each feed and steri-
lied either with steam ar hot water.
After the pals have been sterllized
they should be inverted in a clean
protected place until time to use them
again.

A Draft for Aliens Here

/ By its passage of the Chamberlain res
olution with Senator Brandegee's amend
ment the Senate has undertaken to cure
two defects of the original draft scheme.
The Chamberlain resolution will permit
! the drafting of aliens who have lived Il
year in this country, save those who are
protected by treaty provisions. 1t will
permit the CONSUMPTION of Germans, Aus
trians, Bulgarans and Turks for non
military work. Senator Brandegee's
amendment will provide that in communi-
ties having large alien population credit
shall be given in subsequent drafts for
the inequality Of the first draft, which
took a number of Americans out Of pro-
portion to the population of the district
because aliens were exempted.
These are wholesome proposals for
change in the draft plan. The present
basis of operations has borne heavily on
many districts where the quota, figured on
the basis of population of draft age, had
to be filled from citizens only. Senator
Lodge cited one district in Brooklyn where
the first call took every American. This
was form of discrimination against which
many states have protested. Too much
weight has been given to arguments that
the drafting of aliens would deprive indus
try of valuable men and would set an awk
ward precedent under which Americans
resident in foreign countries might be
drafted in future wars. 1t is hard 10 see
how "A situation in which an alien was
taken to fill a draft quota instead of a citi-
zen would cripple industry-the same total

cised with the same wisdom, it is to be
assumed, whether the man called happened
to be a citizen or an alien.
Under Senator Chamberlain's resolution
foreign citizens who prefer not to fight
for the United States would have ninety
DAYS in which to leave the country. That
is emnently fair. These men of foreign
birth and foreign allegiance are here pri-
marily for their own advantage. not for
the country's. What advantage the coun-
try reaps is incidental. Thousands on
