August 5
FOURTEEN CAMPS PICKED

Sections Of the Country To Be
Mobilized In Advance

Washington. The last step noces
sary to make the entire National
Guard available for duty In France
was taken Monday by President Wil
son with the issue of a proclamation
drafting the state troops Into the army
of the United States on August 6.
To mako certain that the purpose of
tho National Defense act Is carried
out, the proclamation also specifically
declares1 the men drafted to be dis
charged from the old militia status on
that date. In that way the constitu
tional restraint upon use of mllltla out
sldo the country la avoided and the
way paved for sending the regiment
"to the European front.. .
Trior to the application of the draft,
regiments in the northern and eastern
section of the country are called Into
the Federal service as National
Guardsmen in two Increments, to be
mobilized on July 15 and 25. The
Maryland units will go into service
July 25.
Many units already are Federalized
and presumably they will be mobilized
with the other troops from their
states. The guard from the other
states will be mobilized on the day of
the draft. The arrangement was
necessary to provide for movement of
the regiments south to their concen
tration camps without congestion and
to the same end the division of states
Into these increments was revised from
the original schedule.
14 Camps Already Selected.
Tho operative d.ite of the draft was
delayed until August 5 so that all regi
ments can be taken Into the army
simultaneously.
Fourteen camp sites for the 16
tactical divisions into which tho guard
will be organized for war purposes
have already been selected and the
militia bureau la preparing the railway
routing of the troops to the camps.
Seven of Ihe sites selected are In the
Southeastern Department, five In the
Southern and two In the Western.
The two others will be in the South
eastern Department and until they are
approved assignment of regiments; to
camp and divisions cannot be fully
worked out. The only two divisions
positively assigned are tho nineteenth,
including the California guard, which
will go to Linda Vista, f'al., and the
twentieth, Including Oregon. Washing
ton and other states In the Northwest,
which will to to Palo Alto, Cal.
