 To Serve Three Years.

Washington, March 30.-War De- partment officials express confidence that no trouble will be experienced in raising ] force of 50,000 volunteers for c-.erseas service, the call for which VII be- published tomorrow. The men will le offered early duty in France tc relieve men in the expeditionary forces who wish to return home. The troops will be concentrated at Camp Meade, Md, and probably will be sent over in contingents of 1000. The period of enlistment will be for three years. Most of the men are ex- pected to come from recently dis charged troops, who after short wa cation" desire to return to army life. Another incentive expected to have a decided effect on the recruiting cam paign is looked for among the men who, after having been drafted and trained, were prevented from going overseas by the promulgation of the armistice. Opportunity to see service in Germany, it is believed, will lead many of these to enlist
 Several officers, probably 10 to 12, will be sent overseas with each in- crement of 1000 men leaving Camp Meade.
 These will be used at the concen- tration camp to give the preliminary training necessary to whip the men into casual organizations and to make the required examinations On ar rival in Europe, they will take the places of officers who are eligible for discharge.
