that the date may be fixed for some
time in December or January.
Mobilization Of the first increment
of $500 men is now far enough adj
vanced TO show clearly that there will
be big deficiency for the seventeen
National Army divisions. More than
100000 Of the first increment arc sull
to be assembled. but it already is evil
dent that there will be available at the
sixteen environments quarters for an
additional regiment at each post and
at some for n full brigade Of two regi-
ments.
The strength Of the new regimental
organization is 5000 men. With regi-
ment lacking at each cantonment. this
alone would mean shortage of nearly
sc. 900 men. In addition there has been
authorized a separate division Of negro
troops. which means nearly $4,000 men
withdrawn from The original number
assigned to the sixteen environments.
The shortage Is due partially to the
neces1ity Of taking National Army men
TO fiji up National Guard divisions.
Two complete National Army divisions
Of Southern troops have been absorbed
in this way.
Drafts on the National Army forces
listed personnel of the aviation service,
the medical corps and the service bat
talions needed behind the fighting lines

Operating 70 delay the calling out of
the second increment TO make good
these shortages are several factors.
Clothing and equipment are coming
forward only at a rate that can meet
the demands of the forces already
called. and the railways of the country
have been ovcrhurdened with the job
Of moving the army and its necessities
without hindering freight shipments
vital 20 the Allies.
Fixing the date Of the call for the
second increment probably hinges so
upon the careful study being made by
Provost Marshal General Crowder and
his assistants of the results Of the plan
followed IN assembling the men called
first. Many questions have arisen
which il may be desired 10 avoid here
after. and substitute regulations to
guide both local and district boards,
prepared in the light of what actual
experierce taught may be issued to
govern the second call.
