$4,000 MILITIA !
TROOPS IN FIRST
unit TO FRANCE
New England Guardsmen
Are Likely to Accompany
the "Fighting 69th.''

Washington, Aug. 18-Two army
divisions instead of one, comprising
total of at least $4,000 men, probably
VIII make up the first contingent of
the National Guard to go to France.
Although no official confirmation
was obtainable, there were evidences
yesterday that the composite Forty
second division, whose organization
recently was announced, will be ac
companied abroad by the Twenty
sixth, made up of New England
Guardsmen. No New England states
are among the 26 having representa-
ton in the composite division which
includes the Fighting Sixty-ninth"
Of New York city.
The commander of the Twenty
sixth is Major-Gen. Clarence Edwards,
now acting as commander of the De-
partment of the Northeast, and it is
presumed he would go to Europe
| with the division. The Forty-second
is commanded by Major-Gen. w. A.
Mann.
| A report was current yesterday
| that sufficient shipping will be availa-
| BILE for forwarding two divisions with
| in the time fixed for the departure Of
the Forty-second, and that the
Twenty-sixth had been selected to GO
| because it comes from a compac:
area and. is composed for the most
| part Of regiments of high rating and
representing states whose troops were
| left out Of the composite division.
/ The Forty-second division is being
| modified at Mineola, L. l., under the
new European standard, which re-
ouires that the strength of the indi-
vidual infantry regiments be increas'
ed more than SO per cent. The pro-
cess necessitates the addition OF some
units not included in the original or
der, for where one. company of in
fantry, for instance, was to have
come from any state two companies
4 have been. consolidated to give the
$50 men necessary.
Thus hundreds Of men have beer
transferred to fill up the regiment
selected to go. All the other Nationa
Guard divisions will go through {
similar process on their arrival a
their divisional camp.
No hint has been given as to tn
probable time it will require to pre-
pare the F'orty-second for embarka
ton. AS it is wholly new organiza
ton. it Is logical to assume that 1t VII
take some time to get into workin
shape The question of equipmen
Fl also entered into the fixing of a sail
ing date The same consideration
apply also to the Twenty-sixth.
The original plan for compost
! National Guard expeditionary force
known to have provided for two di
visions made up on the compost
plan. Approximately 40 states woul
have contributed toward forming tn
Forty-second and Twenty-sixth, an
. supplemental divisional or army CORP
I. troops might have made up an expe
dition that represented every state.

ports such as shocked England as a
result of the disastrous campaign in
Mesopotamia and Gallipoli.
cit is only few years ago since
Ex-Governor Simeon E. Baldwin I'M
yelled a monument in this city to the
memory of three members of Ro-
chambeaus army who died while en-
route to join Washington at York
town. France sent to this country
during the revolutionary war five
thousand of her bravest soldiers who
turned the tide Of defeat into a glor-
ious victory for America. After we
had achieved our independence, we
entered into treaty with France, by
the terms of which it was agreed that
every other nation, even England,
could trade with us on equal terms.
France, who came OF us in our dis
tress, refused to take any advantage
to herself because of the assistance
she gave US. The bread which she
cast upon the waters at that time now
bids fair to return a hundred fold.
Let the young men of this coun-
try respond to the sentiments of free
dom and democracy with that same
enthusiasm that inspired the nineteen
year-old Lafayette who offered his
service to Washington either as a
| commissioned officer or as private
! in the ranks without pay. In this
way we can in a measure repay the
Republic of France and bring about
the happy contamination so earnestly
urged by President Wilson-that ev-
| cry nation, large and small, shall en-.
joy the right to choose its own SOW.
