Washington, July 9.-The last step
necessary to make the entire national
guard available for duty in France
was taken today by President Wilson
with the issue of a proclamation draft
ing the state troops into the army OF
the United States on August 5.
To make certain that the purpose of
the national defense act is carried out.
the proclamation also specifically de-
clarcs the men drafted to be dis
charged from the militia status on
that date. In that way the constitu-
tional restraint upon the use of militia
outside the country is avoided and
the way paved for sending the regi-
ments to the European front.
