49, The Prssid ent's Address.
II think that our. people have not al
ways appreciated the debt they were un-
der to the national guard. A man who
goes into the national guard and does
his duty fairly and squareiy there. puts
the whole country under an obligation to
him. Always In cur history 1t has been
| the case, as it will be In the future, that II
WET should arise, 1t is to be met mainly
by the citizen soldiers-the Volunteer sol
der. We have, sin thesregular army Of
Efcered as It Is and filled with III 8 type Of
enlisted men we had in 1t. an army which
firmly believe. for its size. is uneu,laled
| in the civilized world; and I am SURE that
can challenge the most generous support
4 from the national guard for the regular
army of the United States. (Applause).
But that army Is, and of necessity must be,
so small that In the event Of serious trou-
BILE IN the future, the great bulk Of our
troops must come from the ranks OF the
I people themselves;s and in forming, those
regiments the good done by the presence
