"In a spirit of mutual respect
and cooperation" Marshall wrote,
'fthe army of the United States
must now proceed with its high
purpose Of welding from the ele-
ments of the American democracy,
a disciplined, seasoned fighting
force, capable of defending the
nation"
State quotas were announced,
for the 800, 900 trainees to be call
ed by July 1, and also for the
March l..
They were tentative, and were
based on estimates of the number
of men who will be classified as
fit and available for immediate
service, with tentative credits for
the number of men each state was
estimated to have furnished to the
armed services already through
voluntary enuStInentS.
More exact figures will be sub
stituted when it is learned pre-
cisely how many fit and available
men last Wednesdays registration
disclosed in each state, and how
many volunteers each state actual

Under the regulations. state
quotas will be allocated among
local draft boards by each states

Secretary Stimson mas announc-,
ed that the army will call the
first 10000 men for training on
November 10. Thereafter, as oon
as housing, hospital arc other IA
cilities are ready, commanders of
the army's nine corps areas may
reqaisition troops, within the limits
prescribed by the Var department.,
from the governors of the states
in each area. At least 81 days
notice must be given for such re-
QUESTIONS.
To Be Filled Out
AS far as possible, units of the
National Guard will be filled out
with men from their home states,
or at least from their own corps
areas. However, officials said
some transfers from one corps
area to another would be neces-
sary.
Of the 400, 900 men to be indicted
by March l, it was disclosed that
1854, 266 would be- whites and 35,-
734 negroes.
These figures do not represent
quotas for whites and negroes, but
were based on the army's present
facilities for making use C them.
The war department already has
announced that the proportion of
negroes to be brought into the
army will be the same as their
proportion to the whole population.
Of the tentative quotas, New
York's was the largest, ia, 796,
and Nevada's the smallest, 624. 3

be reduced, according to any future
voluntary enlistments there may be-.
Such enlistments might include,
for instance, youths from 10 to 81
who may enlist for the regular
three-year periods, with parental
consent.
