NATIONAL GUARD
 OF CALIFORNIA
HOW PEACE MAY AFFECT RE-
 ORGANIZATION.
The Official List of Those Who Have Entered the Auxiliary Naval Force-Some Interesting
 Figures.

During the past week there has been but very little doing in National Guard circles, particularly in this city. At diVl- sion headquarters answers are being re- ceived to the series of questions sent out by Major General Dickinson concerning the status of what there is left of each regiment, from which men were drawn to make up the requisite number of the quota of the State on the first and second calls for volunteers.
 Until all such replies shall have been filed, it will be impossible to start on the movement for reorganization. There are some who are of the opinion that in view | of peace, some of the California com mands at the local camps, and the one across the bay, may not be sent away, but may be mustered out. If that should happen. 1t is possible that the men who are Tn such commands will return to Ma tonal Guard duty and in a measure facili- tate the matter of re-establishing the State force.
