nor Tyler this morning called up the
Secretary of War by telephone and ex-
planned his great regret at the order
Of the War Department regarding the
determination not to allow the men Of

that it would be humiliating to himself

rruited from soldiers other than Vir-
Gn!ans, and he eloquently pathetically
