It was announced today that all existing regiments of the guard will be called into service by August 5 and officials estimate that with from a month to six weeks of intensive training these troops will be ready to go forward for final preparation behind the fighting lines in Europe. Regular army regiments already are in motion northward from the border, preparatory to the expansion of the regular service to full war strength.

As a general order is issued by the president drafting spe- cific regiments, the force will cease to be militia and becomes part of the armies of the United States. They will be relieved of the limitations upon use of the militia and be avail- able for service in any part of the world. State authorities were authorized today to fill present regiments or other units up to full war strength, making a force of approximately 329,945 men and 9,847 officers.
