MOBILIZATION OF
ARMY PLANNED
Regulars Only 2,000 Short of
Their Full War
Strength
Washington, A'ugi 8. Provost
Marshal General Crowder and his
assistants are at work on the final
set of regulations to be promulgated
this week to complete the organi
zation of the selective draft war
army. They will govern the actual
mobilisation of the men selected.
Statements Issued to-day by the
War Department show that prelimi
nary figures place the total force
of National Guard taken into the
Fedreai service August 6 at 13.0!♦ 3
officers and 4 1,J<34 men. Another
statement showed that 180,766 war
volunteers havo been recruited for
the regular servlco sinco April 1,
leaving only about 2,000 vaeanclos
in tho regulars at war strength.
725,000 Under Amis
These figures mean that approxi
mately 725,000 men are now undor
arms, exclusive of the navy and Ma
rine Corps, to be supplemented with
in the next few weeks by 887,000,
raised undor the selective draft act.
Of tho latter number about 500,000
will compose tho third great ele
ment of tho war army—tho National
Army—and the remainder will go to
fill up tho regulars and tho Guard
and their reserves.
It is regarded as likely that the
mobilization regulations soon to oe
issued will show that the surplus of
drafted men is to be used as a re
cruit reservoir, and that all the men
will be put under training as quick
ly as possible. A recruit depot will
HARRISBURG CfSjiSg. TELEGRAPH
be established in France from which
regiments at the front will be kept
filled up, drafts of men from the
main recruit depot in this country
being sent over to this distribution
center as needed. In the same way,
sick or wounded men will be re
turned to the front when recovet'd,
and a steady flow of recruits to
maintain active regiments at top
fighting efficiency will be provided
in this way;
The only hint of the probable
method of mobilization of drafted
men lies in a recent ruling by Gen
eral Crowder which shows that the
Adjutant General may summon the
quotas of tlje district sin increments,
equal parts is suggested, each part
to be called up separately us need
ed.
Under this arrangement it would
be possible to call out at once the
men to form the new National Arniy
and to summon later those who are
to compose the reserves for all ele
ments Of the army. Men tem
porarily needed In harvest fields or
elsewhere could be classified by
local boards Into tttcse later Incre
ments to meet emergency situations
In their districts without delaying
organization of new forces.

Butchers' Remedy Is
Two Fish Days a Week
Minneapolis, Min., AUK. 8. Two
fish days a week instead of two meat
less days, were urged by the United
Master Butchers of America in the
opening session of their annual con
vention at the West Hotel yesterday.
They also recommend "agitation fol
lower prices of fresh and frozen fish,"
remarking that they cost "little or
nothing to produce, only the expense
of catch and distribution, yet the
prices obtained are far out of reason
to those of cattle, etc., for which the
high cost of feed is the greatest
factor."
Retail meat dealers are to embark
In the fish business on these two days.
