SINCE WAR BEGAN Movement of Two Hundred Thousand More Men Starts Today By Associated Press Washington, Oct. 3.—About 200,- 000 men, representing the third in crement to the National Army, to day are on their way to sixteen can tonments where already half the K87.000 called to the colors by the President, are mobilized. Although to-day's quota should be 40 per cent, under regulations promulgated by- Provost Marshal General Crowder, local conditions in the various states have reduced the general average of the increment to 20 or 25 per cent. Coincident with the start of the third division of the new National Army for the training cantps to day, the railroads war board issued a statement in connection with the part which the railroads have play ed in handling the biggest troop movement ever attempted in this country. "Including the National Guard, the Regular Army and the new Na tional Army, the railroads to date have moved approximately 720,000 soldiers from their homes to train ing camps or embarkation points," says the statement. "The great bulk of this Army— all of it in fact, except the 32,549 men included in the first five per cent, of the National Army that moved by regular train on September 5. required special train service, in volving the use of 13,500 passenger cars, including 1,500 Pullman and tourist sleepers, 2,000 baggage cars and 4,500 freight cars. "Some slight conception of what this problem .means, may be deduced from the fact that in the National Army movement alone the railroads have had to prepare special sched ules covering the 4,531 towns and cities designated by the provost mar shal general as the points of local concentration from which the re cruits to the new National Army proceed to their cantonment. "Practically all of the National Guard movements to date have been of great length. The longest one was that made by a battalion of San Francisco Engineers from San Fran cisco, Cal., to a point on the Atlantic coast. This battalion Included 506 men and 18 officers. They occupied a special train comprising one stan dard sleeper, nine tourist sleepers, one baggage car, two kitchen tears and three box cars. Their train left San Francisco at 4 p. m. on Sep tember 1. and arrived at its destina tion at 10.15 a. m., September 8." Samuel H. Kautz Found Dead in Bath Room Samuel H.
