FUNCTIONS OF MILITIA
BUREAU WILL END
With Drafting Of Entire National
Guard Into the Federal Service Aug.

With Drafting Of Entire National
Guard Into the Federal Service Aug.
gust 9Th.
Washington-With the drafting OF
the entire national guard into the
army OF the United States August s,
the functions OF the militia bureau Of
the war department are expected to
come to an end. There will remain
no force OF national guard for the bu.
reau to supervise and the officers Of
the regular army attached to the divi-
sion will probably be assigned to other
ity.
Under the plan OF the national de-
tense act. which calls upon the states
OF maintain recruit battalions for each
guard regiment In active service, the
bureau would continue as 1t Is. II is
regarded as probable, however. that a
general reserve system will be substl-
tuted for the regimental depot plan to
fill gaps In the ranks.
In that event, new men. whether
volunteers. those called under the Sc
lective draft or wounded men who
have recovered sufficiently to return
to the front, would be gathered in gen.
eral recruit depots in America which
would supply general depot in
France. Preliminary training OF the
recruits would be given in the home
depots. to be supplemented by inten-
sive training In trench warfare at the
depot in France. The convalescent
soldiers returning to the front would
form valuable training force to
break in the new men at the depots.

PROMPT, EFFICIENT WORK
BY EXEMPTION BoARrI
Procedure Has Been Stripped Of All
"Red Tape"

Washington.-Prompt and efficient
work by district exemption boards
Is expected by government officials as
a result of stripping all red tape from
the procedure Of the tribunals.
President Wilson's executive order
outlining the principles to govern ex.
emptions. coupled with instructions to
the boards from Provost Marshal
General Crowder are regarded here
as setting in motion the last phase
of the selection process with a mini
mum OF confusion and delay.
The object of the instructions is to
impress the boards with the view
that their primary purpose is to Sc.
lect the personnel for the national
army in the shortest possible time.
To that end they have been informed
that no legal presidents will bind
them, and that there need be no ad.
herence to rules OF evidence or other
technicalities of court procedure.
Attorney General Gregory set In
motion further machinery to increase
the size OF the registration reservoir
from which $4,000 men of the first
call are TO be drawn. Thousands OF
men failed to register for one cause
or another. Through the district at.
torneys, the department of justice is
rounding up these men and when
found they will be assigned numbers
which will insure their being called
up for examination at an early date.
The FIRST reports OF the local
boards on physical examination are
beginning to appear. As yet they
are not complete enough to make any
logical deduction as to the probable
average of rejection for reason. The
draft statistics OF the civil war which
showed between twenty-five and thit.
ty per cent rejected on this ground,
still are the best guide on the ques.
ton.

WASHINGTON.

Harry Chapman Gilbert, son OF
white house police guard, is the first
man in the country to be accepted
for service in the new national army
under selective CONSUMPTION.
The United States bill for the first
year of the war will total seventeen
billion dollars. according to Senator
Smoot, who has been investigating the
subject
A s150,0OO,000 dollar deficit is re-
ported in the executive departments
for this fiscal year This is due to
the war.
Many details are to be worked out
in the conscriptive service before any
men can be actually sent to the train
ing camps. but II is believed a consid.
cradle number will be In camp early
in August.
No attempt is being made in official
Washington to minimize the serious.
ness of the situation in the war the
alters Of Europe.
All official Washington has taken
on serious aspect, because any hope
OF a short struggle in the worldwide
war has gone glimmering with the
Russian fall-down. But the tone is CD.
timistc-"the United States is in the
war, and will go through with IT,"
Washington army officers have been
expecting the present Russian climax
for some time, and were frank to say
that the recent Russian advance was
only the dying kick" OF the old ma
chine.
The Russian collapse will doubtless
have an immediate effect on the Unit.
ed States. Troops will probably be
FASTENED to the western front, and ma
val action may be precipitated much
earlier than expected.
The selective CONSUMPTION boards
are moving ahead without apparent
friction. Men are being summoned
in many parts Of the country for ex-
animation.
After all the scare heads in the big
dailies In the newspapers throughout
the country about the Franco British
advance in the west, 1t is frankly
stated in Washington that the German
line has at no point been seriously
impaired, and that there is little, IL
any, improvement over a year ago.
Some go so far as to say that the Ger.
man key positions have actually i'm
proved.
II the allies in the west could beat
back the German right flank, where
1t reaches the sea on the Belgian
coast, It is contended that the U-boat
menace could be stamped out, because
the bases for these instruments OF
war could then be destroyed. How.
ever the big question as to this is,
could 1t be done?"
Edward N. Hurley Of Chicago, ap-
pointed the new chairman of the ship
ping board Of the emergency fleet cor
poration, will be confirmed by the
senat, without any serious opposition,
II any. The other members will be
investigated before confirmed. ]
