Washington, July 10.-The last
step necessary to make the entire
National Guard available for duty in
France was taken yesterday. by
President Wilson with the issue OF a
proclamation drafting the state
troops into the army of the United
States on Aug. 5.
The National Guard Of New York.
Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa, North and South Dakota and
Nebraska will be called into the
federal service on July Is and sent
TO concentration camps in the south,
although the draft will not apply
formally to them until Aug. 5.
Similarly the state troops from
Maine, New Hampshire. Vermont
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con-
necticut, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, District of Columbia, Vir-
ginia, North and South Carolina,
Tennessee, Illinois. Montana, Wyom-
ing, Idaho, Washington and Oregon
are called into the federal service on
July rs.
To make certain that the purpose
of the national defense act is carried
out, the proclamation also specifical-
" declares the men drafted to be
discharged from the old militia status
on that date. In that way the con-
stitutional restraint on the use of
the militia outside the country is
avoided and the way paved for
sending the regiments to the Europ-
can front.

MAY. MARRY ENGLISH WIVES.


Liverpool. - Specializing editorially
on whether the men of the American
army will marry English wives to
any approachable extent, The Liver
pool Post says:
will American men marry here?
We wonder IL the coming of the
American army will have any effect
upon the matrimonial prospects of
our girls. For some reason the men
of the new world have hitherto never
shown any great eagerness to take
brides from the old and even the
theory that this is because it has not
been the way of the American man
to cross the Atlantic, though it is
consoling to our national vanity
does not work. For it is noticeable
that the Canadians, who have
abounded in our midst during the
past three years, are not nearly as
fond of marrying into this country
as are, for example, Australians.
'FFew OF the young men from Aus
tralia seem to want to return home
without English brides but the Cam
adams either are married when they
come or show disposition to remain
single.
"StilI, there is no need for the girls
to despair yet, and If some of them
do not spend their lives as matrons
in the United States we shall be sur
prised. Certainly 1t will not be their
fault, as they show a most amiable
desire to like any OF the American
naval and military and medical men
they have seen, although in some
ways the fellow citizens of President
Wilson are so curiously unlike our
own men,"

ORDERS GUARDSMEN
into FEDERAL SERVICE
Many Now FederaIized.

many units already are federaliZed
and presumably they will be mob
ilized with the other troops from
their states. The guard from other
states will be modified on the day
Of the draft. The arrangement was
necessary to provide for movement
of the regiments south to their con-
centration camps without congestion
and to the same end the division Of
states into these increments was
revised from the original schedule.
The operative date of the draft was
delayed until Aug. 5, so that all regi-
ments can be taken into the army
simultaneously.
Fourteen camps for the sixteen
tactical divisions into which the
guard will be organized for war pur-
poses, have been selected and the
military bureau is preparing the rail-
way routine for the troops to camps.
Seven of the sites selected are in
the southeastern department, FIVE
in the southern and two in the west
ern. The others will be in the south
eastern department. The only two
divisions positively assigned are the
18th. including the California guard,
which will go to Linda Vista. Calf,
and the Goth, including Oregon,
Washington and other states in the
northwest which will go to Palo Alto,

Lake Wilson for the last three or

a dry belt compared to which the Sa-

About the fifteenth of September a
smooth. suave, slick travelling man
made the vicinity of Lake Wilson his
stamping ground for three or four
days. He carried a shotgun in the auto
and ostensibly was an ardent hunter
However his cartridges contained
something besides cartridges and the
samples that he carried appealed to
many of the farmers who purchased
freely and literally and the pumpkin

truthful reports that some of his sales
run as high as fifty dollars The rev.
enue tax was coming on and there
was no telling how high the booze
would go and naturally good many
took advantage of this life saving op-
portunity and bought freely.
About ten days after Mr.. Salesman
had gone there was a steady stream
of men going to the depot daily in
quiring whether or not there was a
package for them and the answer
was always not.
And today there are many Of them

thirst in silence while Mr.. Salesman
