Some Will Be Ready for

CONCENTRATION is

ington Officials Say

Washington, July 16.-Mobil-
ization of the national guard for
war service began today. While
no orders for embarkation of
state troops for France will be
gwen until after August 5, when
the entire force will be formally
drafted into the United States
army, there are indications that
some divisions will be regarded
as ready to board transports
soon after that date.
The first clause of President Will
sons proclamation providing for the
LIBERALIZATION of the national guard for
the war became effective yesterday.
Under it all guard units from New
York. Pennsylvania, Ohio. West Vir-
ginia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa, North and South Dakota and
Nebraska, went on the federal payroll
from that date
Actual Concentration
Actual concentration OF troops in
their home armories or state camps
began today. approximately one half
of the total strength of the national
guard. or more than 125O00 men, is
included in the force assembling.
The first step in their preparation
has been to send to the armories ad-
ditional clothing for their trip to the
divisional training camps. Full cam
paigning equipment will be issued at
the big camps, reducing the amount of
material to be transported with the
troops.
Rapid Progress
Rapid progress is being made in re-
lieving guard regiments which have
been in the federal service since the
declaration of war guarding property.
This work will be taken over largely
by civilian watchmen, and many states
already have built up the guarding
machinery which will free the guard
regiments for war duty
1t Will be necessary to retain
guardsmen for the protection Of GER
tain big munition works and other
property vital to the conduct OF the
war. The department commanders will
hold such troops as they deem advis-
able for this purpose.
Shortage Of Artillery
The most serious shortage OF war
equipment for the guard is in the ar
tillery. 1t is regarded as practically
certain that if the guard divisions are
sent to France at an early date they
will be equipped with French artillery
on their arrival there.
Presumably their first war work will
be with the famous French "75s"

War department officials regard many
divisions of the states as ready now
for the intensive training behind the
fighting line in France which will pre-
pare them for their place in the
trenches.
