1 neertainty as to Orooca's status
in thr world war has been cleared
I away with the receipt pf official ln-
• formation that the Greek govdfn-
ment not only has severed relations
with all four of the Central powers,
but Is actually in a elate of war with
them.
Information has reached the state
department that the Greek minister
in Paris has notified the French gov
ernment Greece considers herself a
full belligerent and will act accord
ingly. He said It was not necessary
to issue a formal declaration of war,
as the government feels it Is bound
by the declarations previously issued
at Salonlki by Premier Venizelos,
who took with him to Athens all the
responsibilities and commitments of
the temporary Haloniki government.
-As a belligerent Greece is expect
ed to lose no time in mobilizing her
war resources and joining effective
ly in the common Allied operations
in the Balkans. The strength of the
Venlielos army Is placed at about
60.000 men, and the remnants of the
former regular army, while not over
30 # 00U now, has at times been mo-
munitions are provided. The regu
lars practically were demobilised by
the Allies when former King Con
stantine held the organisation nt n
threat to the Allien* rear, but can
ulckly be railed to the colors again.

Mobilisation of the National Guard
for war servide began Monduy. and
while no orders for embarkation of
state troops for France will be given
until after August 5, when the en
tire force will he formally drafted
Into the I'ntted States army, there
are Indications that some divisions
will be regarded as ready to board
transports after that date.
The first clause of President Wil
son’s proclamation providing for the
federalization of the National Guard
for tho war became effective Sunday,
ruder it all Guard units from New
York, Pennsylvania. Ohio, W'est Vir
ginia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minne
sota, Iowa, North and South Dakota,
and Nebraska Vent on'the federal
payroll from that date. J Approxi
mately one-half of the total strength
ol the National Guard, or more than
12f»,000 men, is included in the force
assembling.
The first step in their preparation
has been to send to the armories ad
ditional clothing for their tr^ to
tli»* divisional training camps. 'Full
campaign equipment will be issued
at the hjg camps, reducing the
amount of material to he transported
with the troops. Supplies for the
divisions are being concentrated in
the depots established in the South
to feed the Guard units. Rapid prog
ress la being made in relieving Guard
regiments which have been in the
federal service since t|pe declaration
of war guarding property. This work
will be taken o%er largely by clvtlima
watchmen
It will be necessary to retain
Guardsmen for the protection of cer
tain big munition worhs and other
property vital te the condert of the
war, The deportment commanders
will hohi —rh troops as they deem
