GO AWAY FOR ROCKIES
Company A Will Obtain Recruits
at Springfield.
Is Radical Change From Practice
III. Now in Vogue.
Made Necessary by: Lack Of Local
Help and Support.

In order to bring his command up to
a standing where it will be able to
make a respectable appearance in
camp, Capt. John Buschers. of Com
pany A, will be compelled to recruit a
number of new members outside of New
Ulm. Recently three young men re-
siding in Springfield enlisted in the
company and on July 4th Sergt. Ed.
Juni will be sent to that village on
recruiting service.
He will be ordered to obtain a full
squad and if more than that number
volunteer to enter the service of the
state will probably administer the oath
to them, raising the company to it's
full quota. Capt. Buschers will send
a non-commissioned officer to Spring
field from time to time and in this way
expects that his recruits will become
we'll drilled within a short time. +.
This plants radical departurefrom
all usages. and customs. From time
immemorial New Ulm has supported a
militia organization without the light
est assistance from eighboring towns,
although the practice of having de-
tached squads has been common one
in other cities where companies have
been stationed. Here, however, it has
never been necessary to resort to these
means until the present time and the
adoption of the plan may mean that
ultimately the headquarters ofthe com
pany will be removed to Springfield.
Such contingency would not arise
for some time, of course, but the mere
fact that it is possible is annoying to
friends Of the company. They regret
deeply that SO little interest is being
displayed in militia matters in New
Ulm, the actual birthplace of the
Minnesota national guard, and in as
signing a reason for it do not hesitate
to place little blame on the citizens.
For the last few years, they say, the
company has not been meeting with
the support and encouragement it
merited. Balls and entertainments
which have been given by the soldier
boys have been given but small at.
tendances and the city council has even
declined to pay the armory rent. On
the other hand the citizens have not
been slow in requesting the company to
turn out when occasion demanded and
when asked to participate in parades
the boys have always done SO cheer
fully. Under the circumstances a feel
ing Of Encouragement is not hard to
explain and it is not strange thatmany
of the members feel Indifferent to the
future of the company. They should
be given recognition, and assistance
proffered at the earliest opportunity.
