TROOPS UP TO AUG. 18TH

Some very interesting statistics
have just been made public by the
army recruiting station in this city
chief among them being that LAG
regular army officers have resigned
their commissions In the service since
November II. Ths regular army has
been decreased in strength by 1857
since the beginning of the war.
show 5000 ss troops discharged, OF
whom 1919 were officers and $685.
526 were enlisted men. OF the latter
l2,S3S were furloughed to the re-
serve, leaving approximately 100000
emergency troops to be discharged. To
complete the enlisted quota OF the
226.000 army, thus permitting the
discharge OF all drafted men will re-
quire about $4,000 additional enlist
ments. Reports have now been re-
ceived for approximately 100, 900 en-
listments. but the rate OF enlistments
has fallen off somewhat during the
last few weeks.
Army personnel which sailed from
Europe from August l to 10 num-
bered 25,334 and II is estimated that
about $4,000 additional will sail dur
ing the month. This will leave about
1000 combatent and $4,000 S. 0. S.
troops in the A. +. F. by September
i. only the nrSt DIVISION Is now IN
tact in Europe and this is en- route
to, Brest.
Since November II there have been
$50 regular officers discharged from
their emergency rank. The total
number discharged since the begin
ming Of the war is 1899 or IS per
cent Of the humber given temporary
promotion.
Few Of the states have organized
national guard organisations and the
present enlisted strength OF the
guard Is 36,013. OF which more than
third is in Texas. There are twenty
seven states without organizations
Strange are the ways Of the soldier.
Who would think that man would
choose to be stationed in Siberia in
preference to sunny Panama. But
here are the figures. Since February
%, 1919. 1904 men have asked to be
stationed in Siberia while ony 315
have chosen Panama. For the Phil
ippines 2.s77 took this station as their
choose: 1854 choose the Mexican
Border; 2.034 wanted Hawaii. and 1913
took a trip to Alaska. Another in
teresting fact in connection with en-
listments Is that sixty-two per cent OF
the men re-enlisting have done SO
within three months after being dis
charged.
