[GENERAL ORDER, No. a.
In an Order dated Executive Office, Iowa,
Oct. Sd, 1891" the following paragraph occurs:
( "In order to effect an organization in your
county, you are hereby appointed to organize
into Companies and Regiments all able.bodied
men in your county liable to perform military
duty, under Chapter II Of the Acts Of the Extra
Session, 1861. These Companies and Regiments,
as thus organized are only for the defense Of the
State, and cannot be transferred as such to the
service Of the United States. II, however, com.
panies are organizing in your county Tor United
organizations, but afford them all proper facli-
ties Report to the Adjutant General, at Dav-
snport each Regiment, as soon as organized,
and commissions will be forwarded"
As the emergency under which the Order was
issued appears to have passed, said former Or
der is 80 far modified as to direct the organiza-
tion into Regiments of those Volunteer compa-
MES only which are now raised.
Nv reference to the law, it will be seen that
companies may consist Of not less than 40 nor
more than 100 men each. Every effort should
be put forth to fill said companies as near posi-
BILE to the maximum number.
