Causes Rejoicing.
When it became generally known at the
National Guard armory last night that a
battalion of four companies, under COM
mand of Major Urel, would go into camp
near Falls Church this morning there was
great rejoicing among the men who have
already volunteered into the regiment, and
especially among those who have been for
tunate enough to be mustered into the
United States volunteer army.
AS soon as it was made certain that the
Morton Cadets would be mustered in dur
ing the afternoon arrangements were
quickly perfected 20 put the battalion of
four companies, consisting of Company A,
Captain Harry Walsh; Company B. Cap
tain William r. II. King; Company F, Cap
tain Otto G. Simonson, and Company G,
Captain F. S. Hodgson, in camp at the
most available point.
AS stated in The Star yesterday after
noon, an effort was made by General Har-
ries, commanding the National Guard, to
get permission from the War Department
no no rlin &C n nod nf hn
government reservations within the Dis
trict of Columbia. 1t was thought that per-
mission could be secured to use a part of
the grounds of the Smithsonian Institution,
but this scheme was knocked in the head.
1t was then decided that it would be well
to locate the camp on the site near Falls
Church which had been selected for the
mobilization of the volunteer army in this
section of the country. 90
The fact that these companies were to
go into camp today had its immediate eff
feet in the way of recruiting the remaining
companies which had been chosen to make
up the District volunteer regiment With
in few hours after the order had been
made known Company Ii, Captain George
w. England, succeeded in getting the nee
essary number of men TO enlist to fill out
Its quota, and the company was mustered
last night into the United States army as
a part OF the District volunteer regiment.
Commanders Secure Recruits.
The other company commanders put on
renewed energy and activity, and succeeded
In securing a large number of recruits
During last evening both officers and men
We're working as hard as possible to fill
up their companies to the required number
of physically perfect men, in order that
they might be placed in the volunteer SER
vice.
Those men who signified their intention
of enlsting last night went before the ex-
aiming physicians this morning and al
though the test to which they were sub
Jected was very rigid one many of them
passed successfully and were added to the
roster OF the company in which they had
elected to serve.
1t Is thought now that by Monday at the
latest the District volunteer regiment will
nave secured its full complement of men
and that it will be at once made a part of
the volunteer army. At that time Briga-
der General George H. Harries command
ing the District of Columbia National

Quartermaster Kept Busy.
until a late hour last night the quarter
masters department was busy getting the
tents and camp equipage in shape to be put
on cars this morning. The men in this de-
partment were at the armory again early
this morning and worked like troopers up
to the moment the train left. 1t is not
thougnt that anything was left behind, SO
thoroughly Is the work of this departm ant
systematized.
Companies A, B. and L slept in quar-
tiers at the armory last night. number
