$4,000 Canadians
Answer First Call
OF New Draft Law

OTTAWA, Jan. 3.-Canada to-day be-
gan the task Of assembling her first
national army. Throughout tho Do
minion the men conscripted in the first
draft responded to the call, reporting
in patches at the eleven divisional
headquarters, from which the ma
chinery of the military service act will
be run.
The legislation calls for the drafting
Of 100000 men. The number to be en-
rolled under the initial call is $4,000.
The government is expected to accept
on an average $50 men a day until the
first quota is under arms. The first
$4,000 men. it is believed. will be suffi-
cient to provide reinforcements for the
Canadian divisions now in France for
a period of three months. at the end
Of which time it is hoped to have the
second quota in readiness.
Every man liable for service in the
draft has been notified by registered
letter where he is to report, and witt,
the letter is inclosed transportation
and subsistence allowance. The divi-
sional headquarters at which the men
will report are Halifax. Kingston, ST.

draft army into shape for dispatch tu
France at the earliest possible moment
Secretary Of War Baker announced to-
day in discussing the War Depart
ments efforts to meet the recommended
tion made in Colonel Houses report Of
the American mission abroad.
The principal recommendation of
the House mission was that the fight
ing forces of the United States be dis
patched to Europe with the least pos
sible delay incident to training and
equipment"
"All our agencies arc being used to
speed up, systematize and modernize
tho training Of troops" Secretary Baker
said when asked what measures were
being employed to hasten the dispatch
Of the National Army to France.

methods to expedite the training OF
tho draft army. He said Major General
Richard Blatchford was appoint
ed yesterday to assist in the train
ing Of the draft armies, and that tbs
commanders of all the National Guard
and National Army divisions have
either returned from abroad or are
soon to return to give the men in their
commands the benefit of the knowl-
edge gained through actual contact
with tho kind OF modern warfare prac-
tised in France
Secretary Baker declined to commit
himself on the time necessary to in
struct the conscript army in the fun
damentals Of modern warfare. He
called attention to the fact that Brit
ish and French officers who have ac-
tually been under fire were co5pernt-
ing with the American commanders in
training the citizen-soldiers, and said
that good progress was being made.

1t is not expected that the troops to
be modified now will complete their
training in Canada. Weather condi-
tions are such that training here is
almost impossible, while in England
or France it can be carried on.
There is one feature in connection
with the draft that occasions much
surprise. Names of drafted men are
not to be given out. The Military
Service Council has issued instructions
that only the names of "slackers," who
under the act are described as ode
faulters," will be published.
