Army Needs 100000 Men-Reports
From Various States Show Re-

Washington, May 29.-The National
Guard must be r. cruited by draft to

States are showing falling off in vol

The prospects also are that men
between twenty-one and thirty years
inclusive, will have to be drafted be-

to its full authorized war strength.
Army regulations for war registra-
ton are under attack already in the
house. Representative Ware of Phil
adelphia, by resolution, wants elimina-
ton of the section requiring state

registration. He contends it is I'M
wise and unnecessary and leaves open
for criticism of lack of patriotism. His
resolution probably will fail.
Since April l there have been 49,

of a total of 1S3,S9S needed to bring
it to full war strength of $4,000 men
Unless recruiting, which has shown a
decline during the last week, takes a
squirt, it may be necessary to resort
TO the draft.
Latest reports reaching the militia

that recruiting for the National Guard

The chief factor in the loss is Ohio

to 40 officers and 5000 men on May
20, loss of 1888.
The last available figures on the
strength of the National Guard In the
federal service showed that May !
there were 1884 officers and 6S,566
men. There are about 100000 men in
the grand units, which are to be draft
