Guard Artillery
Units Ordered to
Training Camps
All Not in Duty Now Called
to the Colors to Furnish
Instructors
From n. Tribune Bureau

Washington. June National
Guard field artillery units, comprising
an equivalent of six regiments. have
been assigned by the militia bureau
of the War Department to the various
officers training camps in order TO
provide material and additional in
structors for the training camp bat
teries. Those units not already in the
Federal service are called TO the colors.
Orders have gone out from the Ad-
jutant Generals Office making the fol-
lowing assignments:
First New York Field Artillery, New
York City. with the exception Of one
battery in Syracuse and one in Bing-
hamton, officers training camp. Platts-
burg.
Second New York Field Artillery,
New York City, regimental headquar-
ters and one battalion, Fort Niagara,
y. Y. one battalion, Madison Barracks.

tillery, Fort 0glethorpe, Ga.
First Battalion Georgia Field Artil-
lery, Fort Mcpherson.
First battalion of Ohio Field Artil-
lery and 1st Battalion Indiana Field
Artillery. Fort Benjamin Harrison. Ind.

Sheridan, Ill.

Fort Logan II. Roots, Ark. =.
Minnesota field artillery. regimental
Headquarters and one battalion. Fort
Smelling; one battalion, Fort Riley,
Kan.
One battalion California field artil-
lery. Preside Of San Francisco.
Students at the officers training
camps entered upon the second half or
their intensive course little more than
a week ago, applicants for commissions
in field artillery organizations being
grouped together for instruction pur-
poses into batteries.
The National Guard units called into
service are TO be used primarily TO
provide material for these student bat,
ferries. National Guard officers viii
serve as instructors in addition to the
regular officers assigned TO the training
camps, and at the same time the Ma
tional Guard batteries Will have the
advantage Of intensive training and
practice while in camp.
Inasmuch as the call for these Ma
tional Guard units came earlier than
was expected. commanding officers have
been authorized to grant furloughs
where necessary for men to Strengthen
out their business affairs.

Cabinet to Discuss
Draft by Aliens Who
Have First Papers
Protest from Boston Against
Probable Exemption Causes
Action by President

Washington, June 25.-The questio .
Of drafting alien residents who have
declared their Intention of becoming
citizens will be discussed at the meet
ing Of the Cabinet with the President
tomorrow. This decision followed
strong representations made to the
White House to-day by former Mayor
John F. Fitzgerald and Congressman
Tague. of Boston.
Acting on information supplied by
Judge Advocate General Crowder, TO
the effect that alien residents were TO
be exempted from the operations Of the
draft law. Mr.. Fitzgerald and Mr. Tague
called to-day al both the State Depart
ment and the Attorney Generals Office
10 protest against such exemption.
when officials were informed that fully
% per cent Of the men who registered
for military service in the New Eng
land states would be freed from their
obligation if the proposed exemption
became operative, the situation, which
thus far has not claimed much atten-
ton, was pronounced important enough
for Cabinet discussion.
II is understood that the exemption
Of alien residents. regardless of their
having taken out first papers, has
been urged by Secretary Lansing on
the ground that to draft residents O.
this legal status would bring this gov
eminent into complicated discussions
with foreign governments. On the
other hand. il Is stated that AttorneJ
General Gregory holds the opinion
that under the draft law aliens who
have declared intention to become cit'-
zens should be conscripted.
The White House. it is said, has been
incompletely informed regarding the
situation, the President being entirely
ignorant Of the strong feeling in Bos.
ton against the proposed exemption OF
the large body OF allen residents.
