 WASHINGTON, July 9.-The last step necessary to make the entire guard available for duty in France was taken bv President Wilson today with the issue of a proclamation drafting the state troops into the army of the Unit ed States on August 3.
 To make certain that the purpose of the national defense act is carried out the proclamation also specifically declares that the men drafted are to be discharged from the old militia status on that date. In that way the constitutional restraint upon use of 1nlIltla outside the country Is avoided and the way paved for sending the reSl- ments to the European front
 trlor to the application of the draft, regiments in the northern and eastern sections of the country were called Into the service of the country as national guardsmen in two increments to be mobilized June 15 and July 3. Many units are already federalized and pre- ,umaply they will be mobillzed with the other troops from their states. Tne guard from the other states will be mobilized on the day of the draft The step was necessary to provide for move lnent of the regiments to thelr concen- tratlOn without COHSeSllOn.
 The operative date of the draft was delayed until August 5, so that all regi- ments can be taken into the army sim ultaneously. Fourteen camp sites for rhe 16 tactical divisions into which the suard will be organized have been se- ,ected already and the militia bureau respecting the railway routing Of the TrooDs to the camps. Seven ot the camps selected are in the eastern de- partment, five in the southern and two II the western. Two others will be Tn il southeastern and until they are approved, assignment of regiments 10 camps and divisions cannot be fully worked out. only two divisions posi- lively assigned are the nineteenth, m cluding the California guard, Whlch VIII go to Linda Vista.
