National Guard. But before the bill was signed the War Department announced that the Eull strength of the National Guard vould.e drafted into the United States army, beginning June 15 and ,oncluding August 5. Orders to bring the, regiments to full war strength immediately accompanied the notifi .ation sent to all Governors. A mini mum of 329,000 fighting men will be brought to the colors under those or ders, supplementing the 293,000 reg ulars who will be under arms by June 15. It is from these forces that the first armies to join Gen. Pershing at the front will be drawn, to be followed within a few months by recurring waves from the selective draft armies, the first 500,000 of whom will be mo bilized September 1. Pershing's Expedition. Following is the text of the terse announcements. of the War Depart ment as to Gen. Pershing's expedi tion: "-The President has directed an ex peditionary force of approximately one division of regular troops, under command of Gen. John J. Pershing, to proceed to France at as early a (late as practicable. Gen. Pershing and staff will precede the troops abroad. "It is requested that no details or speculation with regard to mobiliza tion of this command, dates of de parture or other than official bulle tins given out by the War Department relating thereto." Gen. Pershing has been in Wash ington some days. He was person ally sumoned by Secretary Baker from the Southern Department, which was under his command until to night's orders was issued.. Plans for Expedition. The man who led the expedition into Mexico with such judgment and skill as to win for him the complete confidence of the President and his advisers, has worked hard on plans for the expedition to France. He has been in daily conference with Secre tary Baker, Major Gen. Bliss, acting chief of staff, with departmnent offi cials cooperating in the preparation of the forces he will lead against the Germans and also with Lieut. Gen. Bridges, head of the military section of the British mission and a veteran of battlefields of France. Nothing that either French or British officers have been able to fur nish in the way of information has been lacking and there is every indi cation that the regular forces which wvill complose the expeditionary divis ion ar eng selected with greatest care. No Inkling of Plans. No inkling of the plans for that di vision have been allowed to leak out It is known, however, that orders have already gone forwvard to officers of tried judgment and long experi ence notifying them to propitre for foreign service. The war in Europe has developed many newv phases of battle not here tofore known in military science. Ar tillery has decided the fate of nmany baittles and every army has doubled and trdeld its guns, both in size and number. F~or this reason it wvas thought likely the expeditionary forces would include a dlisproportion ate number of artillery troops and be backed by a solid wvall of guns when it. comes to grips wvith the enemy. The number of men in the expedi tionary force has not been dlisclosed. A dlivision at war strength, however, totals more than 25,000 men of all arms and the "approximate" dlivision of the War Department's statement probably wvill exceed that figure. Glen. Pershing, a Republican in poli tics, wvas a brigadier general when he led the forces into Mexico in pur suit of the bandit, Villa.

In his explanation of his reasons 4 his not availing himself of the s, called Roosevelt amenement to ti army bill, Mr. Wilson has brougl sharply the points made against thi amendment by army oflicers, regar+ less of their regard for Mr. Rooseve himself.

On signing the war- army bill t n ight President Wilson issued statement saying that acting und expert advice from both sides of t water he would be unable to av. himself at the present stage of t wvar of the authorization to organi voluntary dlivisions. There wa~s talk in army iirclest night of the posibility that a w would be found to use the fornm President's srevices in another wt but official comment on the subj< wvas lacking. In his statement the President sai "I shall not avail myself, at a rate at the present stage of the wa of the authoriati-mn conferred by t act to organize volunteer diivisions.* "I undlerstandl that the section this act, wvhich authorizes the crc tion of volunteer dlivisions in additi to the draft was added with a vi< to providing an independent co. mand for Roosevelt anid giving t m ilIitairy authorities an opportunity use his fine vigor and enthusiasnt recruiting the forces now at the wei ern front.
