THE NATIONAL GUARD.
Adjutant General Richards VIII Sup
ply Needed Information.

Adjutant General Richards is working
out the National Guard problem, and in
few days will issue general order to
the various company commanders and
the colonies, outlining his plan for the
summer. At the present time he is
saying nothing about what will be done.
The last visit of Governor Powers was
the event of the talking over of the situa-
ton between the commander chief
with his chief of staff. rand the result was
the order to the chief of staff to go ahead
wit the plans he had in mind. I,ses
General Richards said, Friday, that
some of the officers Of the two regiments
had not reported for duty, as they should
have done on the Let of May. Both COL
onels..and thesgreatsrs part of the major
officers have reported, though a few have
not. He has no doubt but that all intend
to stay in the service, but. of course,
about his first act must be to notify all
who have not reported, of their duty and
to await the results There is no appre-
tension but that all the officers will stay,
although there Is no doubt but that many
of the men will ask for discharges. These
mems places can be easily filed, however,
as enough men stand ready to go in.
