Guard organizations. Before long the
War Department expects to be able
to report that 48 State volunteer
plans have been completed and ap-
proved
Under these plans, then, the War
Department in case of emergency
would have available some $4,000
men of the Regular Army and Ma
tlonal Guard. Through volunteer re-
cruiting there would be within 30
days some 100000 men, bringing the
Regular and Guard divisions to full
strength.
At the end of four months of re-
crultlng and selective service the Sec
ono army, officered chiefly by trained
officers of the Organized Reserves and
non commissioned officers of the En-
listed Reserves. would be available.
At this time there would be q total
OF about 1,250,000 men in uniform
and under arms.
How long these men could be
maintained depends upon the speed
OF the industrial mobilization and the
extent to which Congress provides for
the necessary "tooling" of industry.
Due to careful planning, Secretary
OF war Woodring said recently, we
nave enough of ordinary supplies to
take care of our soldiers for SIX
months. The effort must be devoted
now to building up equivalent sup
plies of ammunition, weapons ard
military equipment.

Plans for selective service for sup
plying the man power of the Ameri-
can Army in case of emergency are
lar advanced. The study has been
carried on jointly by the War De-
parment general staff and the Navy
through a joint Army and Navv Sc
lective Service Committee.
IhlS committee has prepared a
graft OF a selective service law to
submit to Congress in case of erner-
sency and regulations to carry the
proposed law into effect. The neces-
sary forms are ready for printing.

be made ready within few days,

selectlVe service organization, trained
ana ready to function, and has CO.

tlon OF State selective service ma
chinery.
To enact the selective service law
10 set up the necessary selactive serv-
Ice organization of some 100000 men
ana women, to register millions Of
men, classify them and induct those
selected INTO the Army would REQUIRE
from 80 TO 90 days, it is estimated.
In the meantime the Regular Army
and the National Guard will REQUIRE
men to fill up their peacetime units
and to replace casualties. The num-
Der required in the first two months
Tor this purpose will total about 5OO.-
600, according to War Department
estimates
100000 Needed Quickly.
In the first month of war the Ma
tlonal Guard divisions alone would
require something like 100000 men for
hller requirements to bring them up
to peace strength and at least 100, 900
additional to bring them up to war
strength.
This emergency supply of men must
be supplied by recruiting, despite
record in past wars which is far from
reassuring. At the outbreak of the
World War, during the month of
April, despite months of anticipation.
the United States was able to recruit
only $4,000 men. Under the present
plans the War Department wants to
recruit in the first month of war
100000 men.
The War Department, however,
feels that such large-scale recruiting
is possible. The World War lack of
recruits during the first month can
not be charged to lack of patriotism
so much as to lack of recruiting ma
chnery for getting young men into
the service, it was explained.
Under the new plan recruiting
would not be carried on by handful
OF Regular Army personnel, who could
i'll be spared under the stress of
emergency, but by the people of the
country in their own communities.
Committees of local citizens, includ-
ing representatives of such organiza-
t1ons as the American Legion, will
be counted upon to form recruiting
agencies capable of reaching all DOS
sible volunteers.
