Washington, June 4.-The Iowa Ma
tional Guard will in all probability
form part Of the first 100000 troops
which the war department plans to
send to France.
III has been definitely decided that
TIE next big expeditionary force sent
to France will be made up Of national
guard troops. General Pershing's d.
vision OF $4,000 to $4,000 men will first
be sent. This force is now being
modified. The next step will be to
organize three to five national guard
divisions for service abroad.
The reason Iowa guardsmen stand
the best chance Of going In the first
contingent Is that its brigade will be
needed to supplement- the two brigades
of infantry in the Illinois National
Guard to form a division. There are
now but two organized divisions Of the
national guard, those OF New York and
Pennsylvania. These two divisions
will almost certainly go to France with
the first force. Illinois and Ohio each
have two briEades OF infantry. the only
states with more than one brigade.
The tentative plan is to form adj
vision with the Illinois nucleus supple
mented by Iowa troops and such others
from adjoining states as may be need
ed, and to add the Indiana troops to
the Ohio two brigades to form a d.
vision.
There are enough national guard
troops now to form seven divisions.
but they are not organized into d.
visional units This will be done when
the troops are modified in the south
and southeast.
When the national guard Is called
out July Is, July Is and August all
organizations will be assembled in
state mobilization camps for a short
period until the southern tented camps
are ready. While in state camps they
will be expected to recruit to war
strength The divisions will be formed
when they concentrate in the south.
