Only a mumII percen- ' tage of the young men drawn Into tho l new National tinny have euleied eamp on the first leportlng dn.vs set for that event, but soon something inure than n half u million of them ' will have begun their training. There seems to bo sonic public lnlwumlcr- standing concerning the courses of In- i struotlim untl the order In which they I will be given to these young American soldiers. x If there Is nny young man who thinks that he Is to lie made at ome Into u member of battery of artillery artil-lery or of an aviation section, or of tm engineering detachment, he must think iigaln to get It right. Certainly for some weeks every .voting man In the camp will lie given nothing but Infantry Infan-try tli ill which Includes the school of the soldier, tho squad and the company. com-pany. Vlitually the first thing that will be given the voting men on arrival at the eamp after they have been "slept" and fed will be an order to appear before the army doctors for ploslcal examination. exam-ination. lively jotingoter with ambition to serve his country must Know that possibly pos-sibly he will not be given the opportunity, oppor-tunity, for It Is eoucelvnbto that the civilian ph.vdclnns inny have overlooked overlook-ed some ailment which the army doctors doc-tors will discover, and It Is also barely bare-ly possible that something may hnvo put the joung man's running genr out of order between the drafting nnd reporting re-porting time. The lists In the possession of tho war department nro those of young men certified for servlco by districts nnd this means largely, of course, by counties. They will be assigned temporarily tem-porarily to companies accordingly. Neighbors at home will be neighbors In the camp for some little time, and perhaps for the entire period of the war, nlthough this depends to a considerable con-siderable extent upon chance and to some extent upon the young soldier himself. Infantry Gets Most. At every camp In the country there will bo a brigadier general Into whoso charge will be committed tho regiments regi-ments Intended for the artillery seiv-Ice. seiv-Ice. Most of the joiingstcis Ivlll be put Into the Infantry for It Is the predominating pre-dominating branch In numbers, and In ii sense In striking power. If there Is time enough before the separation Is made Into brigades of Infantry and artillery, It may bo that there will bo n process of selection for service in the big gun nrm. It Is probable that some men who may express u desire for the artillery will be given u chance to become cannoneers, but for the mnln pnrt companies will bo told off to form tho nrtlllery regiments without with-out nny regard to the specific Inclinations Inclina-tions of the Individuals. TIiIh is Inevitable because nny young miin who Is Intelligent and physically lit presumably will make n good field ' nrtlllcrjman. There are so many nr-' tlllerymen needed that personal selection selec-tion would be Impossible except where . men have applied and have given ren-1 sons why they think they nro particularly particu-larly qualllled for tho roaring service. At some of the National a nny camps fl the barracks have been built to nccom- 'I modate comp-inleu of iriO men each, fl while In others the buildings are lurga fl enough to accommodate company units II of L'.'iO men. It Is probable that in tho II enmps where each set of quaiters linv II mom for only lf0 men the company I temporarily will Include only that mini- . U In r, but later the new basis of ulgn- H monls will be used and 100 men will fl be added to curb formation. M After the xoung soldiers have been 'I trained to some extent and are trady I for distribution among the different fl nrms of tho servlco represented In the camp, an oppotnmlty will be given to those who wish to apply for places fl In the aviation corps, or any other ifl branch of the service. Men who havo S had training In mcciinnlcs nnd who 111 seem to be tilted temperamentally for jjl the nlr service will have their nppllcn- H tlons endorsed favniably by their com- IH pany commanders nnd forwarded fA through the pioper channels to the chief of the slgnnl coips of tho iirtuy ijH for action.
