DISTRICT NATIONAL GUARD.
Roster of the Officers of the Local
NiIifiu


Militia.
Preparations for active service at short
notice in the event of war have trans
formed the armories of the District Ma
tional Guard into beehives of activity.
The District organization is directly un-
der the order of the President and will
be the first of the national guard or
ganizations to be called into service. In
this respect the local guard lands ahead
of the guard in the States.
1t is easily seen then why there is such
hurry and hustle at the armories, and
why the physical examination of the men,
and recruiting to fill up vacancies has
been pushed so much during the last two
weeks. The work of recruiting has been
the most onerous, this being due in a
great measure to its Importance. Nearly
every man that has been re-enilsted since
the probability of war merged into a GER
tainty has seen service before in the
guard.
Many ex-guardsmen who were mustered
out when their term of enlistment ran
out have re-enlisted and a prominent
member of the general staff last night in
conversation with i Times reporter, SAID
that the desire to re-anii5t WAS so great
that it was difficult 10 recruit the men
as fast as was desired. There is no lack
of men, once members of the citizen SCI
dieTy of the city. who want ID ''go to
war" and the success Of the recruiting of
the last two weeks speaks well FOR the pa
triotism Of the people os the National
Capital.
If the President sends \ strong message
TO Congress today the .;,Iard viii y, Gbably
be pressed into ser .ice or Tuesday. One
of the plans is 20 ;end the regular rocrs
at Fort Washington, Fort Myer and the
Washington Barracks to the scene of ac-
tion, and fill their places with the soldiers
OF the guard. Another plan is to order
the guard TO go into camp somewhere in
the District for about a week, at the ex-
piration of which time the progress Of the
plan of the compaign against the enemy
will no doubt be developed far enough TO
warrant the dispatching of the guard to
the front somewhere.
