For Duration of War. All of the commissions are for the duration of the war only and are in the national army, although the officers may be assigned to any part of the fighting forces, regulars, guardsmen, or selective draft troops., It is understood, however, that wherever a National Guard brigade from any State is retained in its present form, its present brigadier will be continued in command. Ry Regular Officer*. With the exception of the two National Guard major generals mentioned. it is indicated that all National Guard divisions will be commanded by regular officers. It is possible that troops of any of the three branches of the service may be used in making up any tactical unit, such as a division or a corps. From the fact that the composite division has been designated the Forty-second, however, it is assumed that plans call for the organization of forty new divisions, sixteen of which will correspond closely to the sixteen National Guard training camps, sixteen others to the sixteen national army cantonments and the remaining eight to be made up of the expanded regular army supplemented with selective draft surplus battalions, where necessary. + If you sit in a cool draft when you are heated and get a stiff neck or lame back, you will be looking fo: something that will ease the pain.
