ARMY BILL is SIGNED

Washington, May 1S-Announce-
ment of the order followed signing
of the selective draft war army bill
by the president and the issuing of
statement that under advice of mill
tary experts on both sides of the wa
ter the president would not employ
volunteers nor avail himself of the
fine vigor and enthusiasm" of for
mer President Roosevelt for the ex-
pedition.
The army law provided for an ul-
innate force of approximately 2,0O0,-
600 men to back up the first troops to
go to the front. When the bill had
been signed, the president affixed
his name to a proclamation calling
upon all men in the country between
the ages OF q and 30, inclusive, to
register themselves for military SER
vice on June next.
The proclamation sets in motion
immediate machinery that will enroll
and sift 100000 men and pave the
way for the selection of the first 500,-
600 young, efficient soldiers without
Gripping the industries or commerce
of the nation or bringing hardship on
those at home.
Even before the bill was signed,
the war department announced that
the full strength of the National
! L. i. "a ~ 7
army, beginning July Is and conclud
ing Aug. 5. Orders to bring the reg
iments to full war strength immedi
ately accompanied the notification
sent to all governors. A minimum of
$4,000 fighting men will be brought
to the colors under these orders,
supplementing the $4,000 regulars
who will be under arms by June 10.
1t is from these forces that the
first armies to join General Pershing
at the front will be drawn, to be fol-
lowed within a few months by recur-
ring waves from the selective draft
armies, the first 100000 of whom will
be mobilized Sept. /.
Following is the text of the terse
announcement of the war depart
ment as to General Pershings expe-
dition: 81
"The president has directed an eX-
peditionary force of approximately
one division of regular troops, under
command of Gen. John j. Pershing,
to proceed to France at as early
date as practicable. Gen. Pershing
and staff will precede the troops
abroad.
1T is requested that no details or
speculations with regard to the mobi-
lization of this command, dates of
departure, or other items, be carried
by the press, other than the official
bulletin given out by the war de-
partment relating thereto"
General Pershing has been in
Washington some days. He was per-
sonally summoned by Secretary Bak-
