STATUS AS MILITIA LOST
Indications Are That Guard llcgi
mcnts Wlitcli Had Benefit of
Border Mobilization May Be
Harried to France.
' WASHINGTON'. July 23. Approxi
mately two-thirds of the National
Guard of the country was in the fed
eral service tonight under President
"Wilson's call.
The remaining units will be brought
In August 6. on which day the whole
force of probably 300,000 men will be
drafted into the Army of the United
States and will lose Its status as mili
tia. From that clay on the state troops
can be used for any duty the President
may direct and will be subject to no
limitations that do not also apply "to
the resular Army.
1SO.OUO Go On rederal Payroll.
The first increment of the guard was
called out 10 days ago. Those called
today in the pecond increment embrace
New England, Middle "Western and
Northwestern states and several South
ern states. Probably more than 150,
noo men went on the Federal payroll.
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio
troops and those from severul other
states were in tiie first incrfmen.
With federalization of the entire
force complete after August 5, the
ranks of all regiments then will be
filled up to full war strength with
men from the selective draft lists.
Many Golne to France Soon. .
There have been many things to In
dicate that guard regiments which pre
now fairly well equipped and which
liad the benefit of the border mobiliza
tion will not be held Ions at the divi
sional training camps. If transporta
tion is available, the best of the state
troops may be hurried to France at
once, stopping only for final outfitting
before they sail. The intensive instruc
tion to fit them for trench warfare will
be given at the American training
camps in France, where General
Pershing's regulars already are. at
work.

different branches of the service about
as follows, the number given in each
instance being approximate:
Oregon Coast Artillery, 12 companies,
1400 men.
First Separate Squadron of Cavalry,
four troops, 400 men.
First Separate Battalion of Engineers,
three companies, 380 men.
Two batteries of field artillery, 270
men.
Field Hospital Company. 80 men.
How long the troops will be kept
at their local armories before pro
ceeding to the designated concentration
camps depends entirely upon the War
Department.
They will remain at local armories,
it teems certain, until complete equip
ment and supplies arrive from San
Frrmcisco with when to outfit the
men when they go into camp. These
supplies include uniforms and other
clothing, arms, tents, bedding, mess
kits, kitchen equipment and the like.
I Half of Force Equipped.
At present, not much more than half
the troops are equipped even with
uniforms. Many of them have no
equipment whatsoever. By remaining
at their local armories until supplies
arrive, the problem of feeding and
housing them can be much rjore easily
handled.
Word has been received from he
War Department that the supplies
needed have been shipped from San
Francisco and that they should ar
rive any day. However. It may be as
long as a week or ten days before the
troops are sent to their mobilization
camps.
The headquarters and nine com
panies of the Coast Artillery will go to
Fort Stevens. It Is understood that
three Coast Artillery companies will
be sent to Fort Canby, also at the
mouth of the river.
The other troops mobilized will be
sent to Camp Withycombe, at Clacka
mas, Or., where the Third Oregon In
fantry now ia encamped. The men of
4
1
the Third Oregon are pretty- well
hardened to Army life by this time, as.
they have been under arms since March.
The stay of troops at Camp Withy
combe probably will be limited to a few
weeks, as all the Oregon troops, ex
cept the Coast Artillery, are under or
ders eventually to proceed to the new
Army cantonment at Palo Alto, CaL
45'rO Now I nder Orders.
Counting the Third Oregon Infantry,
Oregon now has approximately 4500 of
its National Guam troops under Federal
orders. The Thlra Oregon already has
been taken into the Federal service.
The troops mobilized yesterday will be
drafted into the Federal service ou Au
gust 5. In the meantime, however, they
are subject to Federal orders and are
under Federal pay.
The 1'ortLind Armory, wjero all the
troops from Portland congregated yes
terday, was the scene of busy activi
ties all day.
Despite the fact that no uniforms or
ar.ns were available the men were put
at once to work drilling. Each unit
got three or four hours of hard drilling,
the drill being limited to marching ex
ercises and squad formations.
Some of the troops received their
first taste of "policing" work, which
is the Army way of saying "cleaning
up." Quarters at the Armory were
swept and made neat and clean.
Soldiers Organise Teams.
In the afternoon the discipline re
laxed somewhat. Immediately some of
the liveliest young men organized op
posing basketball teams and Indoor
baseball teams.
The men were marched by companies
to the Y. M. C. A. and other designated
places for thteir meals, under arrange
ments made by the Adjutant-General's
office.
Most of the Portland men were Bent
to their homes last night, with orders
to report again early this morning.
Many of them took with then men
from outside the city who are enrolled
in the- Portland companies. Other
quarters were provided for some.

Indications Are That Enough Will
Be Chosen by Time Cantonments
Are Ready to Receive Them.
Assembly Xot Determined.
WASHINGTON. July 25. Prepara
tions for actual mobilization of tha
National Army went ahead liere today,
while the local selection boards
throughout the country began summon
ing for examination the men who will
compose the force. It is believed that
a considerable number of men will ba
selected and awaiting the call to the
colors before August 1. The entire
force will be ready, with the exception.
probably of a few disputed cases, by
the time the 16 cantonments are ready
early in September.
.Provost Marshal-General Crowder
pointed out today that the local boards
actually are selection, not exemption
boards. Their primary purpose, lie
sai. was to select from registered men
As-stembly Not Determined.
The quotas from the various districts
probably will be assembled first at
their district headquarters when tho
call comes. "Whether they will lie
turned over to an Army officer there
and taken to their cantonment or
whether one of their number will be
placed in charge to eonduct them to the
cantonment has not been decided.
The race between states for. the
honor of beintr flrFt to fill their quotas
under the selective draft bill was on
today in earnest.
Kailure to appear when called will
bring the military forces of the Pro-vost-Marshal-CJenei-Rl
in search of the
missing man and ho will be 1 ri'-d for
any violation of regulations Lefore a
court-martial.
The distribution of men among the
16 contonments, tieneral Crowder said
today, would be governed by two rules
first, the section of the law requiring
that they be assigned, as far as practic
able, to duty with troops from their
own state, and, secondly, the location of
the nearest cantonment to reduce the
transportation problem as much as pos
sible.
Second Draft I'niikely Soon.
No information has reached tleneral
Crowder indicating that there will ba
any need to summon a second draft in
addition to the 6S7.00U men now called
for. during the present year. General
Crowder said today he had understood
that the draft machinery would not
need to be employed again during the
present year, although it will be kept
intact. Kstimateu to cover expenses
of the second increment have been sub
mitted, it was pointed out, because all
these expenditures must be made in ad
vance of a call to have equipment and
quarters ready, or the f -.ncis must be
actually on hand whin the call is made.
With physical examinations actually
in progress, the record of -lie orate
during tiie Civil War becomes Interest
ing. At that time 2a. i 7 per cent or the
