National Guard to France as Germany prepares drive toward Paris
Washington reports the bulk of the National Guard to be sent to France soon, with the Prairie division among the first three sent. The House war mission urges unity of effort and a coordinated U S shipping program to hasten victory. A regular army division will occupy Camp Logan as the National Guard departs. The second draft is planned for March, with recruits trained in camps vacated by guards. The Justice Department schedules Feb 4 as a registration week for half a million German aliens in the continental United States.
