turn out American troops for the Eu-
ropean firing line. Here are the prin-
cipal developments of the day:
The administration took under con-
sideration an offer by France and Eng
land to send 1000 officers. disqualified
by wounds from active service. to re-
place for army training purposes IN
this country an equal number Of Amer
lean officers for the drst American
expeditionary force to France.
Tho president contemplates fixing Z
date about June I for the registration
Of tho 100000 men between 21 and

than 100000 and possibly 100000 will
be drafted into the army.

visions OF volunteers to France.
Ask Troops at Once.
Tho offer Of the French and English
military authorities to send training Of
hcers to the United States was made in
tho course OF the negotiations with the
British and French war missions which
advocated the sending of from 10000
to 10000 soldiers at once.
The drst objection was that the only
trained troops the nation possesses are
those Of the regular army which would
be needed for home defense. More
over, It was objected that all the regu-
lar army officers are needed to train
the recruits.
Thereupon the allied commissioners
said that they could send at once 1000
French and British officers who have
been retired from active service by
wounds, but are entirely capable Of di-
|recting the training of troops in trench
warfare.
Hard Work For Guard.
Until today the best information OBJ
|tainable fixed the probable date for
calling out the national guard at July
Il. There now Is chance that the date
may be advanced to June 15.
Every national guard unit fit for
federal service will be called into serv-
ice. They win be concentrated in large
units, divisions wherever possible, and
|brigades elsewhere. These units will be
put to work at intensive drilling.
