ties yesterday. Although the actual
humber OF enlistments was not above

president Of the Board OF District Com
missions Of his intention to enter the Of
ncers' Reserve Corps

Orders given yesterday to the First
Company. Coast Artillery, District Ma
uonai Guard. to go into camp at Con-
gress Heights next Monday for a weeks
rifle practice, foreshadow the calling out

gress Heights. expect orders to proceed to
Fort Howard. Nd. where they may get
practice with the big Pinch guns there

During the last week the coast artillery

ing list. Some of these may have an
opportunity to join Troop A. Others will
take the places OF those who are ac-
cepted in the Officers Reserve Corps.
Plans for training 1000 officers for the
FIRST 10000 men to be raised by con-
scrtption were announced yesterday by
the War Department.

Guard officers and such OF their own
number as may be qualified.
To Pick Mature Omcers.
The selection of the first 10000 ON
GERS. according to the department an

fitted for responsible positions. Young
er men win be given a chance in later

to be raised by conscription in the
under a division which will include
