Within the next few weeks American

by Captain C. Howard Lewis will not
only be thoroughly organized and
equipped unit. but in all likelihood

did not protect these organizations
from invasion by the draft. and. as a
consequence, all faced tho disturbing
prospect of a revision OF the roll with
the filling of possible vacancies after
each ensuing draft. Apparently the
War Department Is now beginning to
realize that efficient organization is
difficult. and perhaps even Impossible,
under such circumstances. AS result,
it begins to look as II mastering in
will no longer be deferred until the
last moment. Tho enlisted reserve"
has been reopened to ambulance COM
panies. AS soon as a sufficient regis
tration has been made by the local
organization the command will be
mustered in, and thereafter it's in
tegrity cannot be disturbed by drafts
This greatly simplifes tho work, and
has. incidentally, served as pro-
nounced stimulus to enrolment. Mem
bers OF the organization are now better
able to feel that there is no danger
OF their summary removal from 1t by

put into 1t will consequently not be
