THE NATION AL GUARD.
SHOULD DE NO FEELING AGAINST

Adjutant General He'll Thinks the

Jefferson City Mo- April 19AdiItaut
General Bell o. Missouri. president of the
Interstate Association OF National Guard,
tonight sent out kilograms to adiutant gen
erals of all the States, in which he said:
Events of grave importance confront
the citizen soldiers known as the National
Guards. Great care should be exercised
to subdue any feeling toward the regular
army. They have their functions to per-
form under the constitution of the United
States. Constant vigilance should prevail
to prevent the usurplt!on Of rights vouch-
safed 10 the National Guards by statutory
enactment. The National Guard should be
respected ny tho Federal government.
Many of the officers and men have devoted
the best part of their lives TO the actual
services of the government. They are tlins
entitled 10 present their claims for recog
milton regardless of other citizens, and
hnouiH pc TccoEHlhcc Ny tpcSt III n"tH'ittS
Otherwise The usefulness of the National
Guard is al an. end and the volunteer SOL
diery could properly disband. The National
Guard organizations cost the Federal gov
ernment less per capita than the bulwark
of any Nation on earth, Doubtless this
is fully appreciated by those in authority,
and when the call for emergency volun-
tcers is made upon the governors OF our
respective states, let the organizations be
rendered intact as formed. and trained by
officers best fitted b. practice and tx-
perIeIce to command, to secure the abso-
lutte confidence OF the rank aid file. and

Austin, Texas. April 1a.-It is the opinion
of Adjutant General Mabry that the Texas
Ranger force. together with the oo-opera-
tiou OF an organized volunteer guard In the
counties bordering on the Rio Grande, VIII
afford ample protection to the people of
that section against tho threatened in
yasions by bands of outlaws and hlibuslcr-
ing expeditions from Mexico. General
Mabry stated today that there arc at pres
Ont only thirty-four Rangers in active
service, the State appropriation being only
sufficient to maintain that number. In adj
dition 10 this number in active service
there are sixty available enlisted Ran
gers who are not now on duty owing 10 the
lack OF appropriation. General Mabry now
has urder consideration plans for the
mobilization OF tho thirty-four now In ac-
tive service and tho sixty additional avail
able men at different points on the Rio
Grande border. where they will be Kept
on scouting duty as long as the present
threatening conditions exist The limit of
the number OF Texas Rangers is placed by
law at 400 and II occasion demands. ana
some provision can be made for their main
tenancc. the fun number can be recruited
and placed on the frontier.
With force of 400 Rangers properly dis
tributed along the Rio Grande border, there
would be but little danger Of trouble from
marauding' expeditions In that section 1t
is well known fact that one Ranger Is

Il very salutary effect on the lawless eIe-

HELD THREE MEETINGS
Lieutenant Colonel Margetts
Arouses Enthusiasm.
SOLDIERS OF THE ARMY
Many Christians in Gods Work Are Far
From Being Up TO the Standard.
Three Chances at Peter
the Radical.

Lieutenant Colonel Margetts. the rot
ed Salvation Army leader. who is visit
ing the local Salvation Army post. held
three rousing meetings at the Audi
forum yesterday. one in the morning
al IL O'Clock. another at 3 in the after
noon and a third at s in the evening.
All were largely attended and the elo-
quent speaker succeeded in arousing
a great deal OF enthusiasm.
Colonel Margetts addressed himself
himself at the morning service chiefly
90 the soldiers OF the army and Christ
fans. The subject was "A Transforma-
tion in Sight taking his text from

The sight Isaiah saw was Gods holi-
ness. Gods ability to save and bless
him. and use him 10 carry the message
Of salvation to the stiffnecked and re-
bellious people of Israel He saw his
own condition. the reflection which the
sight cast upon the life of Isaiah show
ing his -uncleanness in God eyes. II
caused him to cry out: 'Unclean. and |
dwell in the midst of a people OF I'M
cleanness.' The Transforming effect the
sight had upon the prophet constrained
him to confess his true condition before
God and seek that purity of heart and
motive that put him into touch with
Gods full will n purpose concerning
him and enabling him to make a full
surrender and volunteer to I'll the posi-
tion to which he was called. exclaim-
ing. Here am I. SEM me- The prophet
had preached righteousness previous to

day who are actively engaged in Gods
work, like the prophet Isaiah. are lar

only when we see ourselves in the light
of God and Gods holiness IL revealed
