caring for their needs on the battlefield.
and providing for those dear to them at
home.
Resolgcd, That the thanks of this meet
ing are rendered to the Committee of ar

to the defenders of our country.
Over four hundred people p~srtook OF
ths dinner, and had an abundance left.

with all present; married the feelings of

Are the National Guards Liable
- to the Draft

Statements have appeared in the news
papers, and apparently by authority, to
the effect that members Of the National
Guards arc liable to a draft. This may be
true, but we beg leave to doubt the truth
of such an inference. The 10th Section
of the amended drafting Law, Is in sub
stance, as follows
"All male persons, between the ages of
OILS and IS, who are not exemption account
of physical infrmities, and are not al the
tms Of the draft in the military or naval ser
res efthe United States, shall be subject to
the draft"
If the members OF the National Guards
who are now, and will, undoubtedly be,
when the draft shall take place, bearing
arms ss soldiers, by order ofthe President
Of the United States, guarding prisoners
of war, military lines of communication,
fortresses, forts, and liable at any moment
to be ordered to march TO the front, are
not 'tin the military service of the United
States" we should like 10 know who are.
