reality In exactly seventeen days these

to re-enforce ' Black .lack ' Pershing and
his division of regulars, who long befnro
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

according to olllcl.it announcement, to have

expedition when It will start and all such
matters aro military secrets and will nirt

Following the signing bv president Wil

last night, the Issuance of tho proclamation
calling for the registration of all males

And thn machinery of the quartermaster's
department nnd of the general staff has
been speeded up tn get ready for tho new

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