Are Sent to France.

Washington, July 9.-Only seasoned
men, trained at least six months on

more burdened and there is little room
for unframed troops. Under the new
policy draftees will be put thru an in
tensive six months training course the
unfit weeded out and the remaining
fighting men sent across for short
