THE SEVENTH EAGER
TO GO TO THE FRONT
A STRONG PLEA IN FAVOR OF
ITS SELECTION.
Reasons Why the Popular Southern
California Regiment Should Be
Given a Chance to Face
the Foe.

The following communication is self-ex-
planatory:
To the Editor of The Call: It appears
that in the designation of the volunteer
regiments for active service abroad it is
probable that the Seventh California
Regiment, composed of men from all
parts of Southern California, is to be al
lowed to remain within the borders of
it's own State, while preference is given
to regiments from other States, for al
ready on two occasions when it practic-
ally received it's orders when to depart
the orders have been changed and other
organizations were substituted. This re-
suit will fall a great blow upon the
1900 men who quilted their homes to go to
war; but this feeling will be all the more
intensified If they know that the citizens
of their State did nothing to prevent it
and put forth no efforts in their behalf.
1t is very evident from the results already
seen that powerful influences are at
work in other States to have as many
of their troops sent to the front as pos
sible, SO California must follow the same
course, If only to protect it's just rights.
In every way the Seventh is a regiment
of which the State may feel proud, and
1t can safely be pushed to the front as a
representative organization. In drill and
camp routine it equals the best; there are
in it men representing just as great an ag-
gregate of capital as in any other regt-
ment sent here; nearly every man left a
business, professional practice or perma-
nent employment; the behavior Of the
men in and out of camp has been that of
quiet, dignified and gentlemanly soldiers;
they have tried and succeeded in making
themselves and their organization a
credit to the State. This having been their
object, they are now entitled not alone to
the respect of all citizens, but also to the
active work and influence Of every man
who wishes to see our. State receive its
proper share of recognition.
Every friend of the National Guard
who desires it's success in the future
should exert himself to see that every
man who enlisted from our militia is
given a chance to do that for which he
volunteered to go to the scene of war,
otherwise the National Guard of the fu-
ture will offer no channel for service to
our country and will be a mere aggrega-
ton of socially inclined individuals. If
it was only to satisfy the ambitions and
cravings of the present volunteers in this
country our Government could we'll af-
ford to send every one of them abroad
for the good effect it would have in
furtherng speedy enlistments in future
wars. CALIFORNIA.

wealth and because Colonel Barber Cd
jected to having his regiment remain at
Camp Merritt. The officers and men
characterize the Examiners article as
moved to the Preside not because or
any pull exercised by Colonel Barber, put
because Surgeon Major Davis of the regl-
ment said he would not be responsible for
the life of any man If the regiment was
kept at Camp Merritt. AS it is the regi-
ment has not even. so far, had man

Camp Merritt has escaped several deaths,
except the Utah Cavalry.
The Utah Troop Of cavalry is quietly To-
Gated in it's new camp. Captain Cairc.

City on a furlough, will return this week.
It seems pretty well determined that the
Utah Troop will be sent to the Yosemite
Valley for duty, and the men are broken
up over the prospect of going back with
out seeing active service.
