State Troops
Ordered Into
II. 8. Service
Presidents Proclamation Sets
August 5 as Day of
Mobilization

Washington, July e.-The last step
necessary to make the entire Nationai
Guard available for duty In France
was taken to-day by President wilson
with the issue of proclamation draft
ing the state troops into the army OF
the United States on August 3.
To make certain that the purpose OF
the national defence act is carried out'
the proclamation also specifically de-
clares the men thus drafted to be dis-
charged from the old militia status on
that date. In that way the constitu-
tional restraint upon use. OF militia
outside the country is avoided and the
way paved for sending the regiments
to the European front.
Prior to the application of the drai'
regiments in the Northern and Eastern
section of the country are called into
the Federal service as National Guards
men in two increments, to be mobiiized
on July Is and 25. Many units already
ara Federalized and presumably they
w;ll be modified with the other troops
from their states. The Guard from
the other states will be modified on
the day Of the draft. The arrange
ment was necessary to provide for the
movement of the regiments South 10
their concentration camps without con-
eestion, and to the same end the divi-
sion Of states into these increments
,vas revised from the original schedule.
Fourteen Camp Sites Picked
The operative date Of the draft was
DELAYED until August so that all regi-
nents can be taken into the army
simultaneously.
Fourteen camp sites for the sixteen
tactical divisions into which the Guard
will be organized for war purposes
have already been selected and the
Militia Bureau is preparing the rail-
way routing Of the troops to the camps
Seven of the sites selected are in the
Southeastern Dtpdi IHch' NV 80

German Spy System Here
Run by Neutral Subjects,
Federal Agents Learn

Government officials expressed the
opinion yesterday that German spies
with Swiss passports were reaching this
por. on Spanish steamships and finding
access easy, because Of the superficial
nature of their examination. Once past
Ellis Island, it was said, the pseudo
Swiss would find no trouble in roaming
as they wished and gathering informa-
tion to take or send back to Berlin.
According to reports along the East
River waterfront, "Swiss" Of suspic-
iou,ly Teutonic accent and aspect have
arrived by hundreds in the last few
months and gone their ways without let
or hindrance.
"Swiss" Talk German
When a ship is shunted into a pier
Of the Spanish Line the gutteral jab-
Der from her decks is said to recall the
dav, when the boats Of the Hamburg
American Line and the North German
LLOYD Line were plying between Ger
many and this country. One and all
their passports declare, these volubie
Messengers are Swiss. They have pass
ports TO show II, whatever their tongue
and appearance might indicate. And
these same talismans, unless methods
are changed, will permit them TO leave
the country as easily as they entered.
Customs men subject the baggage OF
tho passengers to strict scrutiny, even
IN the Innings of their trunks, but the
nersons of these Swiss citizens are sa-
cred. They are not searched or sub
iected TO any adequate examination.
II was also pointed out that an alien
without a passport could sneak ashore
from any freighter anchored in the bay.
Customs men used TO board all ships in
the upper and lower bays to see that no
one boarded or left them without au
thority.
Even simpler than sending Germans
70 masquerade as Swiss, this official
pointed out, would be plan which in
volved getting information through
men and women who were Swiss, Dutch,
Danish, Swedish or Norwegian by birth.
Some such plan, he believes, is in oper-
alton.
Big Spy System Here
Under existing conditions. il was
nointed out, the movements OF such
travellers would be even more un-
trammelled than those OF the bogus
Swiss, who might feel a natural hesi-
fancy as to taking grave risks, In the
opinion OF some Federal officials, the
nian Of espionage which they feel Is
in active operation is . combination
Of both methods Of obtaining informa-
ticn.

the morale Of the army in general was

After a stop at Czernowitz, the capi-

direct to Jassy, the seat of the Ruma-

given in its honor by the King and
Queen Of Rumania, who expressed
their appreciation of Americas en-

general that Rumania would derive
fresh courage from an ally which had

Amazed at Accuracy
Of Russian Fire

1--WE journeyed from Tarnopol TO the
firing line in automobiles and were i'm
mediately escorted to the trenches. A
tremendous bombardment was in prog
ress and the Austrian lines were being
attacked by continuous torrent OF
shells. The point that struck me most
forcibly was the accuracy Of the Rus
sian fire and the effective concealment
OF their batteries. The Austrian artil-
lery was good, but noticeably weaker.
THE precision and exquisite working
of the Russian machinery was marvel
to me. Every man was in his place
and there was not the slightest sign Of
insubordination or reluctance among
the men. Each officer and soldier did
eagerly and unhesitatingly what he was
told The spirit of the men themselves
was in favor OF an advance.
1--WE spent the nigh: at the headquar-
ters of the 9Th Corps of the Eleventh
Army, but early in the morning OF the
next day we returned to the trenches.
Clambering out of the trenches into
wheat field on the summit of ridge
overlooking the Austrian positions, we
watched the end of the battle.

sT BRING WINTER VEGETABLES.

Although 1t is now early in the fall a word about the winter storage or vegetables may not be amiss. The crops which we refer to as inter vegetables are carrots, beets. parsnips, turnips and rurabages, salsify, celery, cabbage, pumpkin, squash and onions.
 The root crops-beets, turnips, etc !, may be put in tight barrels and then the barrel filled with dry sand and store in cool cellar. The sand pre-. vents the roots from drying out. Or they may be buried ny digging a shal. low nole, placing some hay or straw in the bottom, piling on the roots and then covering with hay or straw with litsle soil over all, then as the weather gets colder add more soil, hay, straw or other material to keep out the cold. The disadvantages of this method is trat 1t is hard to get into in the winter.
 Parsnips and salsifv may be left in the garden all winter and used in the spring. Celery may be taken up with q little soil on the roors and placed up right close together iii box contain. 1 ing layer of soil in the bottom and kept where it will not freeze nor dry out It may be watered, using care not to wet the foliage or stalks.
 Cabbage may be pulled and hung heads down from nails in the cellar, or placed heads down on well drained but not too exposed a place out doors aud then after the cabbage is all harvested and packed one layer deep. as closely as the leaves will allow cover with leaves or hay, leaves being very good, if storms pack the leaves ol the roots show, add more covering material.
 Pumpkin and squash should bt pick ed before frost and stored in war dry place. An upstairs hall O clo>.t may be used they should no be allowed to freeze.
 c lions should not be kept wher they will freeze, nor where it is to- wal d or damp.
