SECOND INCREMENT
OF NATIONAL GUARD
CALLED into SERVICE
Remaining Units Will Be
Federalized August SO
Fill Ranks From Draft
ed Men

washington, July 25-The entire Ma
tional Guard of the country. with the ex-
ception of troops from California and the
southwestern states, is in the federal
service tonight under President Wilson'S
call.
The remaining units will be brought In
August 5, on which day the whole force
OF probably 100000 men will be drafted
into the army of the United States and
will lose its status as militia. From
that day on the statetroops can be used
for any duty required Of the regular
army.
The first increment OF the guard was
called out 10 days ago. Those called to-
day embrace New England, middle west
ern and northwestern states and several
southern states. Probably more than
10000 men went on the federal pay roll.
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio
troops and those from several other
states We're in the first increment.
With liberalization of the entire force
complete after August s, the ranks Of
all regiments will be filled up to full
war strength with men from the selec-
tive draft lists.
There have been many things to indi-
cate that guard regiments which now
are fairly well equipped and which have
the benefit of the border mobilization,
will not be held long at the divisional
training camps. If transportation is
available. the best of the state troops
may be hurried to France at once, stop
ping only for final QUILTING. The in
tensive instruction to fit them for trench
warfare will be given at the American
camps in France, where General Per-
shing's regulars already are at work.

CANADA bORROWS
S100,000,0OO FROM
AMERICAN BANKS
Secretary McAdoo An
n0unces That Loan Is APP
proved BY the Govern
ment

Washington, July 25-Canada is to bor-
row $1Oo,0ooOoo in the United States
to offset in part the heavy trade balance
against her in this country, The loan will
run for two years. bear interest at the
Erate of approximately s per cent and will
| be made by syndicate of New York
bankers.
Negotiations for the loan have been pro-
ceeding for sometime past. The final step
approval by the American government
was announced today by Secretary Nc
Adoo.
One reason why the treasury itself IS
not makingsthe loan Is that such credit
would have to be made in that case in
directly through Great Britain Another
Is that heavy demands already have been
made and are in prospect upon the 50, :
| 000. 900 authorized by Congress as a
loan to the allies. A third reason Is said
ITO be that the injection at this time OF
a $l00,00000O bond issue into the domestic
financial situation would not in any way
disturb the governments plans for its
war financing in which there il for the

Calling Of Men For
Examination Started
By Many of Boards

The exemption boards proper are the
district boards, which have power to say
whether the work man Is doing at
home will be more important to the gov
eminent than his services as soldier.
Information reaching Washington Inv
dictates that the selection boards are talk
ing the view of their work that makes
that name fitting for them. They are
bent on finding men for the army in the
shortest time possible. When they GER
tify man to the higher boards as held
for service, the man becomes soldier
and subject to soldier law. 1t will be
the duty of the provost marshal general
from that time ON to see that he COM
plies with all army orders affecting him
and also to turn him over to the army
authorities when he is called to the coll
ors. The quotas from the various dis
stricts probably will be assembled first
at their district headquarters when. the
call comes Whether they will be turned
over to an army officer there and taken
to their cantonment or whether one Of
their number will be placed in charge
to conduct them to the cantonment has
not been decided.

SERVIA TO TRANSFER
SEAT OF GOVERNMENT
Permission Is Asked of Greece to
Move from Corfu to Saloniki,
Which Is Granted

Washington, July 25-Servia is about to
transfer her seat of government from
Corfu to Saloniki. according to an Ath-
ems cable today to the Greek legation.
Servia some days ago asked Greece for
authority to use this Greek city as her
temporary capital and Greece at once
complied. issuing instructions that suit
able buildings be prepared.
The Servian government, which has
made it's headquarters on the Island of
Corfu ever since the humiliation OF the
Servian army, is anxious to be as near
as possible to the allies line of march,
which it Is hoped will reconquer the lost
country.

Washington, July 25.-Preparations for
actual mobiliza ton of the national army
went ahead here today while the local Sc
lection boards in many parts of the coun-
try began summoning for examination
the men who will compose the force
There are numerous details to be worked
out before these men can actually be
sent to their training environments. 1t
is believed now, however, that consid-
earble number will have been finally Sc
lected before August l. The entire force
will be ready with the exception prob
ably of a few disputed cases, by the
time the six cantonments are ready early
in September.
Provost Marshal General Crowder, un-
der whose jurisdiction the selective draft
men will remain until they are trans
ferred to the books Of the adjutant gem
eral as soldiers, pointed out today thar
the local boards actually are selection, not
exemption boards. Their primary pur-
pose, he said, was to select from the reg
istered men those qualified for military
service. The men they turn away after
examination will be rejected. rather than
exempted, because of physical disability
or dependents.

NOW|NCONFE FERENCE
IN SPITE OF MANN
Republicans Desert Their
Leader in His Effort to
Delay Measure-Re-
port Week Off

Washington, July 25.--The adminis-
tration food control bill was sent to
conference by the House today with
blanket instructions to disagree to all
Senate amendments. The conferees
will hold their first meeting tomorrow
morning, but 1t probably will be at
least a week before report on the
long disputed legislation is ready.
Blocked in sending the measure to con-
ference yesterday by the effort of Re-
publican Leader Mann for a separate
vote on the amendment creating con-
gressional war expenditures committee,
the democrats brought in a special rule
to force action today. Thirty-one re-
publicans joined in supporting motion
to invoke the previous question, shutting
off debate, and after that Mr.. Mann
opposition collapsed completely. He
made no attempt to force record vote
on adoption of the rule itself.
PRINCIPAL TROUBLE
The principal trouble in conference
doubtless will center around the Senate
amendments for the war expenditures
