The trio who will comprise this increment are Willie Harris, William Harry Dorsey and Benjamin S. Carter, all of whom have been no- tified to report for service on Sun- day morning, August 4. er for five white sélectives from among the last in Class I, who will go to Camp Fremont, California. This call takes the last of first-class reg- istrants, and the following have been summoned to fill the quota. Louis F. McKenna, Frank Tracey, William Shriver, Nelson John Battle- schlag, Joseph Holland, Daniel Clou- ghan and Harry Coryell. They will also report at 10 a. m., August 4.
