MONTH NEEDED FOR GUARDS TO

Washington, May lit will require
between thirty and sixty days after

visions of the National Defense act
This can be stated authoritatively, al.
though the War Department is with
holding announcement as to deails Of
the process to be followed with the
state troops until the bill has been
signed.
National Guard troops now in the
Federal service retain their status as
militiamen and it will require the ex.
ercise by the resident through proc
lamaiion or other executive order to
draft the force as body into the
Federal army when its militia status
ceases.
The time of assembling the Nation.
al Guard IN the first sixteen divisional
training camps or environments to be
established will be determined by the
availability of supplies and equip.
nlent Presumably no effort will be
n ade TO bring all of the guard under
the Federal status on the same day
but the operation will require some
time and the draft will be applied tc
different organizations at different
times.
The War Department has decidet
