Gus northwestern states indicate that

patches:

der the first call has been mustered in,

to raise the additional quota assigned
to Michigan under the second call. Re
cruits will be rendezvoused at the pres
ent camp. The governor is confident

tionate number, based on the number
of eligible men within its borders.

available funds in its possession at
present for the equipment of troops,

teers viii not be ready to go to the
front for some time. The new state
volunteers will be concentrated az the
military reservation at Camp Douglass,

that the volunteers who have already
offered their services to the state con-
siderably exceed the number asked
for.

Iistment.
