the National Naval Volunteers and
35, 900 men in the Naval Reserves.
The government. is now examining
men for the first drift of 6S7, 900 men.
These will be sent next month to the
16 cantonments. Nearly 100000 men
of, the draft force will be used in rails
ing the National Guard force to it's
war strength of 400, 900. Later there
will be second force of 100000 call
ed for the national army, and this will
swell the total on land and sea to
more than 100000 under arms.
President Wilson on June 9 issued
his proclamation calling the National
Guard into Federal service in three
increments. The first increment,
which included New York state, was
called into Federal service on July Is,
the second on July 25, and the third
today. In this third Increment were
$1,000 troops from Indiana, Ken
lucky, Georgia, florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Ok
Iahoma, Texas, Missouri, Kansas,
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah
and California.
All three of these increments were
also automatically drafted into Fed
eral service yesterday. The National
Defense act Of June g, 1916, author
lied the President to draft" the state
militia into Federal service whenever
he should be authorized by Congress
to employ the armed forces Of the
nation. He was so = authorized
when war was declared on Ger
many.
Having been discharged from state
service and drafted into Federal serv-
ice, the guard is now absolutely I'M
der the control of the President. The
men draw the same pay as the regu-
lars Of corresponding rank, and will
be eligible, like regulars, to participate
in the benefits of all the Federal pen
sion laws.

AMERICANFORCES
UNDER ARMS NOW
NUMBER 8O9,743.
Rapid Expansion of Fight
ing Strength Since War
Declaration

Washington, Aug. 6-More than
100000 men are today bearing arms
for the United States government in
the war with Germany. This fact was
accomplished when the National
Guard was drafted into Federal ser
vice yesterday by Presidential procla-
nation. There are more than 800, 900
men In the guard units which were
discharged from state service when
they were drafted into Federal SER
Vice.
When war was declared IN April
there were not more than $4,000 men
in the regular army. This looked
like a small force with which to enter
the greatest war in history against the
nation that boosted the possession of
the greatest military machine in the
world. On April J. there were app
proximately $4,000 men in the United
States navy-a force that has been
more than doubled in the last four
months. The army and navy together
had scarcely more than 100000 at the
beginning of April
In the intervening months, through
intensive recruiting activity and the
utilization and enlargement of the
Guard, the number of men under
arms has been almost quadrupled, and
totals not fewer than o09.743 men
today, exclusive of about 10000 men
in the officers training 1arars- The
total is1Also exclusive of the force of
49,, 900 men to be sent into canton
nlents lext month un.1e- the Draft
Act for the new National army.
! When the $4,000 men of the first
National army enter camp for trains
ing and are added to. the force Of
100000 rrder arms in Federal SER
vice today, the United States will
have not fewer than 1,496,143 under
arms on hand and sea, at home and
abroad. This may be justly consid-
cred some achievement for a nation
that had not more thar. quarter Of
million under arms four. months
ago.
These figures are based upon the
latest obtainab1e official statistics of
the army, navy, marine corps, and
other branches of the united services.
On Aug. Q the strength of the marine
corps was 29,153. On Aug. 1 the
strength of the navy was 1901. On
June 80 the strength Of the National
Guard was 303,579. On Aug. 4 the
strength of the army was approx
mately 295 ,0e0, which lacked just s.
900 men of it's maximum war strength.
On Aug. 10 there were 10000 men in

The Iowa State Dairy Association,
formed for the promotion Of the dairy
ing industry in this state, was organ
lied In 1876. 1t is one of the Oldest
anu blIOuSCSl VA tHC VI -
its kind in the United States. Recog-
mixing the great necessity for dairy
educational work, the state legislature
had made appropriations for the as
ISOLATION since 1909 and bill for the
same purpose is to be introduced this
year
The report of the work OF the as
ISOLATION during 1915 and 1915 shows
that representatives Of the association
met 521 audiences in ninety -FOUR
counties during that time. The records
show that s3,436 people were reached.
During the two year period ending

conducted over four railroads In the
state. These dairy trains held half

Community dairy shows have been
organized thru the work of the as
ISOLATION and dairy short courses have
been conducted. The school children
have also been interested in the move
ment to place dairying In the position

step in the right direction.
One OF the big things that the dairy
association has accomplished has been
the establishment of the National
