NATIONAL GUARDSMEN DIs
TURBED,
DIS

The National Guardsmen of this city
are not very well pleased with the pro.
posed army and militia REORGANIZATION
bill which has been reported to Congress
for action. The bill provides for the en-.
listment of the National Guards1nen at
volunteers in the regular United States
service and company officers will be
named by the governor of the state, but
field officers will be commissioned by the
President. The guardsmen believe that
this is scheme on the part of the war
department to prevent many of the field
officers of the National Guard from seeing
service and to enable the war department
to place regular army officers at the head
of the state militia organization. Some OF
them realize the fact that there are com.
mands in this state which are not at
present differed as well as they might be,
while the men are all that one would ask
for. AS one of the men prominent in the
guard circles in this city said to PRESS
reporter yesterday: There are, of course,
some Off GERS in the service of this state
who would not be of much use in the
field. Perhaps there are many who do not
know quite as much about some things
as they might know. But the privates
would prefer to enlist under their own
officers, men in whom they have conf
dence. They want their own field officers
and their own company officers. If they
can't have them or are to be called upon
to enlist without their officers and go to
the front under the command of regular
army officers whom they don't know, and
in whom they have no confidence, don t
believe many of them will enlist. Now
it is the time for the war department. to
test the efficiency of the guard of the
country. If the system is faulty it is time
to find it out and correct it. Let them
call out the militia as an organization, let
the National Guard stand together and in
the end the country will not be ashamed
of the work they perform If this re-
organization plan is tried it will ruin the
National Guard of this and every other
state and all of these years of training
will have been wasted and will count for
nothing.

NAVAL MILITIA,

A few nights more and the two
divisions of naval militia now forming
will have recruited enough men to com.
mence work. Practical men, such as car
penters, machinists and good strong able
bodied men who have seen sea service are
wanted. An excellent class of men are
joining these two divisions. More are
wanted and the enlistment committee
will be in session tonight and following
nights in the City building where all ap.
plicants may apply.
