even be white and still be called

REMAINDER OF MEN CALL
ED TO FILL IN GAPS
WITH REGULARS.
MEN co TO FRANCE
War Department Takes Over
Recruiting, Guardsmen Hav-
ing Entered Army.

Washington, Aug. Provost
Marshall Gen. Crowder and his as
sistants are at work on the final set
of regulations to be promulgated
this week to complete the organization
of the selective draft war army.
They will govern actual mobilization
of the men selected.
Statements issued today by the
War Department shows that pre-
liminary figures place the total force
of the national guard taken into the
federal service Aug. 5 at 1908 Of
ficers and 419,834 men. Another
statement shows that 180,766 war
volunteers have been recruited for
the regular service since April l.,
leaving only about 1000 vacancies in
the regulars at war strength.
These figures mean that approx
mately 725,000 men are under arms,
exclusive of the navy and marine
corps, to be supplemented within the
next few weeks by $4,000 raised
under the selective draft bill. Of
the latter number about 100000 will
compose the third great element Of
the war army, the new national army,
and the remainder will go to fill up
the regulars and the guard and their
reserves.
The mobilization regulations will
show how the drafted men are to be
assigned. Already the War Depart
ment has received countless appli-
cations from men certain to be called
in the first increment of the draft
forces for assignment to some par
ticular arm or branch of the service.
When a man has been summoned by
his local board for physical examina-
ton no method exists whereby he may
enlist in the regulars and have his
service count on home quota. 1t is
probable, however, that some effort
will be made to meet the wishes of
the drafted men in this regard as far
as possible when they are mobilized.
1t can only be done to limited ex-
tent, as the regulars and guard, as
shown by today's statement, are pare
tically filled up now.
