Washington, July 0.?-The last step i-iHM^'hsar.x to make 111<> on tiro national guard available for duty in France i was taken today l?y President Wilson J witH the issuance of a proclamation k drafting tme stato troops into tlio army - Of tlio 1'nlted Slates on August 5. Tot [ mako certain thai t^o puriMiso of tlio national defense ad is carried oni, ! the proclamation also s[>eciticuUy do- j dares the men drafted to be dlscharg- ! cd from the old militia statua on that date. In that way, the constitutional restraint upon tlio use of militia out side the country is avoided and the \wny paved for sending the recipients to the 10uro|>ean front. Prior to the ap|dlc.trlon <?f the draft, regiments in tlio northern and eastern section of the country are called Into fhe federal service as national guards men in two iiicrcmewrs to li<> moholiz ed (tu July lf> ami -B. Many units already are federalized and presum ably they will lie mohlliz^l with tile other troops from their states. The guard from the (other states will ho mobilized on th$* day of the draft. The arrangement was necessary to provide for movement of the regi ments south to concentration caiupp 1 without congestion, and to the same | end the division of states into these Increments was revised from the original schedule. The operative date of the draft was delayed until August so that all regiments can he taken into the army simultaneously to avoid inequalities in the relative rank of officers. Fourteen camp sites for the six teen tactical divisions into which the guard will he organized for war pur ]x>ses have been selected ami the militia bureau Is preparing the rail way routing of the troops to the J camps. Seven of the cites selected are j in the southeastern 'department. live ill the southern and two in the west ern. The two others will be in the southeastern department, and tin til they are approved assignment of regi ments to camps and divisions cannot Ik' fully worked out. The only twrr* divisions positively assigned are the nineteenth, including the California guayd. which will ge to Lynda Vista, ! ('aI., and the twentieth, including ore-' gen. Washington and other states in the northwest, which will iro to Palo Alto, Cal. ?

KXPOUTS TO UK (IT off (iovfriiiiiwil Will Shut OH" Food to Germany Through Neutrals. ? 1 ?? T* Washington, .luifv fc.-?Government i-ontrol ?>f American e*i?orls authorised In a provision of the Ksplouage Art, was i rd fried |?nt into operation July 15 by President Wilson tonight with tlie Issuance of a proclamation requir ing ilu? licensing of shipments to all count rles ?'if tin* most i iti | K>r t a it t export commodities. *t> The President declared the govern ment's policy will 1h? first to give con sideration to American needs; next to meet as far as possible the require-, incuts of the Allies; ami lastly to sup ply the neutral countries wherever I'iactIcahle. If is made Hear that ev ery effort will l*> made to see that no supplies reach the t'outral Powers. The commodities named in the list pot nutlet control are coal, coke, fuel oils, kerosene and gasolene, Including hunkers; food grains, Hour and meal, fodder ami feeds, meats and fats, pig Iron, steel billets, ship prates and struc tural shapes, scrap Iron and scrap steel, ferro manganese, fertilisers, arms, ammunition and explosives. The inclusion of foodstuffs In the proclamation lends color to statements that the administration is considering the advisability of a complete embargo for sixty days on all food shipments to 'give the country time to ascertain the amount of its supplies and to give allied and neutral countries an op|H>r tnnlty to present a full program of their requirement's. The President said t-htrgovernment was trying first to ameliorate present food conditions and conditions that are expected to arise between How ami the next harvest. Many officials, alarmed at the wheat shortage, and the heavy drain the Allies and neutrals are making on American food supplies, are urging an immediate embargo on food shipments. * Through control of coal and fuels the government Intends to take a firm grasp on shipping. An arrangement"| under negotiation will give the Amer ican and Itrltlsh governments control not only of all allied tonnage, hut of neutral vessels as welly Ships now on runs not regarded as necessary to a I successful conduct of the war will be forced H:t>? trades considered more es sential. and vessels held in j?ort thru . fear of submarine attack will be re- J ?juired to go into'service. (Vnt-iol of iron' and steel was made necessary by war demands on the iron And s!ec| industries. A shortage >f ;teel mi till- countr\ is threatened be cause of the large amount that is be ing diverted to munitions manufacture and the construction of the dfovern- } incut's merchant fleet. Japan's heavy purchases of steel plates for merchant shipbuilding made necessary that plates be put under control. Specific regulations governing food in iM?rts and shipments of other com modities named in today's list are ex- ' jiected to be issued by the President within a few days. Kven if a com- f plete embargo is not placed on food I exports for a time It is known many restrictions will l>e made. One argument advanced by - advo-j eates of a complete embargo on food : shipments is that the neutral countries ! and the Allies have presented entirely j different statements regarding the amount of foodstuffs going from the neutral countries into Germany. > The President declares in his statement that his government ?as no desire to \ do any injustice to neutral countries | apd Intends to cooperate with them. !
