ORDERS ARE ISSUED FOR
MOBILIZATION This MONTH
Two Hundred Thousand Men to Camps
From June oath to 28th-Texas
Quota Is 5000.

CroWder to the governors of all states,
except Arizona, for the mobilization,
between June "a and June %, of 200,-
600 more registrants. This was in ad-
ditiOn to 10000 negro men requisitiOn-
ed Wednesday from twenty states and
brings the total number of selective
service men called to the cOlors up to
| 1886, ,704. When they are in camp the
nations army will number we'll over
two million men.
The registration day apparently was
attended by the perfect order that
marked the enrolling, year ago, Of
100000 men, who form the great
reservoir upon which the nation is
drawing to furnish the balance of
power on the western front to crush
the German war machine.
The men who appeared Wednesday
before the 4,50O local boards over the
country have become of age since the
first registration day, June 5, 1917.
| Military authorities estimate that from
| their number there will be had 750,-
| 600 men fit for active duty. While an
| act of congress requires that the new
registrants be placed at the bottom
| of the class to which they are assign
| ed, many of them may soon be called
| to the colors, as Wednesdays reQuisi-
ton upon governors will probably ex-
haust the first class in some states.
Assignments for the men called to
the colors, under Wednesdays order,
| indicate the rapidity with which troops
are now moving overseas.
