that tlmo will have carried tho starrj flag
to tho front of tho French battle line
As Is fitting, the first force to take tho

Following the signing bv president Wil

And thn machinery of the quartermaster's

Tho question of whether the draft will
have to be extended to fill gaps In the
lilies of the regular and of the national
