The National Guard

SAN FRANCISCO, May 29.-The reorgan-
ization of the National Guard of California
is still matter of uncertainty as it is not
yet known how many guardsmen will be
taken to supply the second call for volun-
teers. If no change is made in the number
first announced-1942-the existing COM
panies could be filled to the maximum and
with little recruiting the Fifth regiment
could go as complete regiment. which it
is extremely anxious to do. Colonel Fair
banks wants his regiment to be known as
the Dandy Fifth of California" but until
the exact quota of volunteers wanted Is
known and plan Of reorganization effected
1T will not be known whether the regiment
can be mustered in as a whole. Company
l. OF the new First infantry has already
been recruited to ninety-nine men ready to
be sworn into the service of the state The
work of recruiting is going on in other COM
panies and soon the guard will be able
again to present a formidable 'front.'

Ran on q Reef

NEW LONDON, Conn, May 29-The
steamer City of Worcester of the Norwich
line, at an early hour this morning ran hard
upon Cormorant reef, during the fog. The
accident proved so serious that 1t was nec-
essary to put back and beach the boat just
above the Pequot house. A panic ensued
among the 800 passengers but the perfect
discipline of the crew as well as the fact
that the City of Lowell, sister ship, doomed
up, helped to allay their fears. No casual
ties resulted. Later the passengers were
taken off by the City of Lowell and again
proceeded to New York.
