The Second Artillery has been endeav0r-
ing Tor some time TO organize q cadet COM
pany to be attached To the regiment. 1t has

vision OF Major Geary, chose as their OIL
GERS Norris K. Davis for captain and Charles
Farless and Clarence Son for lieutenants.

this example followed all around the coasts,
says: more satisfactory and wholesome
arrangement for the National Guard was
never made. In the event OF war we shail
need every soldier of the regular establish
ment in the field. and the very first use to
be made OF the National Guard OF the mari
