Switzerland and Spain has been dis
cussed formally at a conference at

The necessity of limiting exports
strictly to those countries, both to
prevent their finding their way into

every possible ton of allied shipping
for the most essential work, was con-
sidered in all phases.
general understanding was reach
ed as to the complete participation

GUARDSMEN TO TRAIN
IN THE NORTHWEST
American Lake, Near Tacoma, to Care
for $4,000 Men-Have a Good
Chance of Fighting.

Washington.-That portion of the
war department statement is signifi-
cant which says, in regard to nation
al guard organizations, "the neces-
sary arms, equipment and clothing
for recruits is not at present on
hand
This probably accounts in meas
ure for deferring the calling of con
scripts to the colors until September
1. 1t will be seen from the forego-
ing that there is abundant opportu-
nifty for those who desire to get in
early before even the work of calling
up the national army is started.
Also that Pacific Northwestern
guardsmen and selected men are to
be trained approximately in their
own country, unlike those in the
east While all the war department
said was that American lake has been
designated as a concentration camp
there are many indications that it is
to be occupied before winter by at
least $4,000 men.
Furthermore, it should be made
clear that the men trained in the Pa
cific northwest have just as good a
chance of getting to the fighting front
as those trained in any other section
of the country.
