cAueHLAN NAMED.
Is Made Member of National Guard
Examining Board.

Colonel H. H. Caughlan received Off
cial notice today that he had been APP
pointed on an eXamining board to be
held at DeS Moinesy February 20 for
the purpose of examining applicants
desiring commissions as officers in the
Iowa National Guard. 1t is probable
that Col. Caughlan will be the ranking
officer on the board, and that it will be
convened under his orders. The ap-
pointment is very important in Ma
tional Guard affairs, and indicates the
high esteem in which Colonel Caugh-
Ian is held by his ranking officers
Session Several Days.
The board will probably be in ses-
sion several days. All persons who
have been elected in the guard since
the last meeting of the board in No
vember will appear before it. A very
strict and technical examination is re-
quired of all the applicants, and the
officers conducting it are of necessity
forced to be able men. The order re-
ceived by Colonel Caughland did not
indicate who the remaining members
of the board would be, but these will
probably be announced in few days.
Members of Guard.
The examining board is always com
posed of members of the guard, but in
majority of the cases, the ranking
member was always selected from
among the staff officers. The selection
of Col Caughlan to fill this place is
very pleasing to ihs many friends l.,
Ottumwa and they know the duties
will be disposed of in an able manner
Local Men to Go.
1t is probable that the new officers
of Company G will appear before this

Monday evening at which time it is
probable that I.ieutenants Hill and c
e. Caughlan will be moved up a step
and new man selected for SECOND
