TRAINING PLANS MAPPED BY GUARD

Officers and Men of 38th Division Believe Privately They’ll Be in Federal Service 3 to 5 Years; Expected to Head South Jan. 6.

By SAM TYNDALL

With “warning orders” in its hands the 38th National Guard Division General Staff today began clearing the decks for the division’s first long-term mobilization since the

World War.

The Division’s 10,000 men and officers, of which 6,000 are from Indiana, will leave home armories some time around

Jan. 6 for Camp Shelby, Miss.—the same place the 38th Division trained 23 years

ago. There, in a tented metropolis with Ohio Guardsmen of the 37th dvision, Indiana troops, and those from Kentucky and West Virginia (also in the 38th) will train for a year. But officers and men privately be- - Yieve it will be more than a year before they return to civilian life and their office desks and factory jobs. It will more likely be three or five, they believe. In Washington Saturday, the War Department announced for the first time the dates when the balance of the nation's National Guard divisions can expect to be inducted formally into Federal service. It will be “between Jan. 3 and Feb. 3,” but word is here that on Jan. 6. Hoosier guardsmen will don their khaki and march off as fulltime soldiers. Detailed preparations to break up housekeeping at luxurious armories and move out “bag and baggage” already have begun at the division headquarters here. Curricula Ordered Col. Norman A. Nicolai, chief of staff, has ordered all commanding officers of service regiments and staff plans and training officers to outline a training school curricula which can be set up after troops arrive in Mississippi. After the man have been “bedded down” and hardened physically, they will in groups, begin going “back to school’—specialist schools for signal corps personnel, for infantrymen, artillerymen and medical troops. There will be schools in chemical warfare, anti-tank defense, supply functions and others. Besides this, the biggest job at hand is to weed out borderline health cases, to readjust officer per-

sonnel and enlist new recruits (in- | cluding 400 for Indianapolis units) | to fill vacancies created by purge of physically unfit and the increased :

strength quotas. Considered One of Best

The 38th division, which has been |

commanded since 1922 by its present “C. O.)” Maj. Gen. Robert H. Tyndall, Indianapolis, . goes into Federal service with a unique record. It is the only Guard division in the country which has trained as a division for 18 years and because of this it is considered one of the best trained units in the nation. All officers and men must undergo a rigid physical examination before mobilization. Plans for holding examining board sessions are being made now. All enlisted men and non-com-missioned officers will go into Federal service with existing grades or ranks. Like other National Guard divisions, the 38th will serve to absorb and train. the young men of the eonscripted "army. The selective service is a five-year program—that

EVACUEES FROM FAR EAST HOME

Japanese Urged Americans To Remain, Some Report On Way to Seattle.

A WEST CANADIAN PORT, Oct. 22 (U. P.).—The first group of Americans to leave the Far East in response to the United States Department’s warning, boards a ship for Seattle today, transferring from a Canadian Pacific liner which brought them here last night.

Some of them reported that thej-

Japanese had tried to induce them to stay. One passenger, the Rev. H. T. Stonelake, Baptist missionary from London, said the day before the ship left Yokohama, Japanese newspapers published false reports that the ship already had booked all passenger space. : One evacuee said, “there won't be any Englishmen or Americans left in the Far East. This is a total

exodus.” Some refused to discuss their experiences, saying they feared reprisals against relatives in Japan and China. There were moer than 50 evacuees aboard, most of them women and children. Mr. Stonelake said that the ship was held outside Yokohama Harbor two days because of Japanese naval maneuvers. G. Ryan, who managed a Riga, Latvia bank under Russian occupation and crossed Siberia to the Pacific, said he saw huge concentrations of Russian troops and air bases at the Manchukuoaa border. He said German officers were aboard his train across Siberia.
