on September 5.

Washington, August 13-The entire
$4,000 men composing the first in
crement of the army draft forces will
be under training earl yin October
Under orders issued today the first 30
per cent of the quota of each district
will begin entrainment for thirty per
cent September 30. The remaining 20
per cent will be mobilized as soon af-
ter that date as possible.
The plan to assemble the new
forces in three increments distributes
the task Of furnishing supplies and
equipment through September 1t
will also prevent serious shortage in
any camp and will give the new Of
ficers from the training camps time
to familiariZe themselves with their
duties gradually before responsibility
for great body of men falls on them
The order issued today means that
about 10000 men will reach each OF
the sixteen contonments soon after
September 5. They will first be ex-
amined physically by army doctors
and finally accepted or rejected. This
will take some time and the men will
have to be furnished with temporary
quarters and rationed while awaiting
examination. If the full quota were
assembled at one time, great confus'
ion would result
Presumably the first increment viii
have been organized into skeleton
companies, battalons or regiments be-
fore the second arrives.
The newcomers can be quickly alb
sorbed by going concern in thai
case, and the third lot can be taker
into the war machinery with even less
disturbance when it reports fifteer
days later.
In farming communities loca
boards now will arrange the lists o
these to fill the first increment will

vesting is in progress in many sec

with the first third of the distric
quota will be passed over the secon'

That conscientious objectors to wa
are not to be excused entirely from
serving the country has made clea
in a ruling by the provost marshal
holding that such persons should b
sent to the mobilization camps alon
with others drafted, to be assigne,
later to non-combatant branches o
the service. 1t is presumed they will
serve in the quartermaster's corps
