Adjutant General r. A. Ford was
emphatic this forenoon in saying that
despite the Associated Press dis
patch yesterday that the National
Guard would not take part in the
war maneuvers of the regular army in
future on account of the failure of
the Massachusetts militia to stand the
strenuousness of the recent maneu-
vers in Massachusetts, the New Mex
leo militia will take part in the maneu-
vers next year. The members
of the National Guard of New Mexico
are not mollycoddles he said and they
will take everything that is coming
to them and the regulars in the ma
neuvers next year The stricturbs of
the war department apply only to the
Massachusetts militia and will make
it merely optional with the militia
maneuvers or whether it will choose
maneuvers or whethe rit will choose
other and lighter duties. AS for the
New Mexico militia it will take part
in the war maneuvers with the regu
lars.
