NATIONAL GUARD BECOMING

the Spanish war began we were
startled 10 find our National Guard

first disappointment came when we
discovered the Guard could not be used

and rc-enlisted as a volunteer force.
This caused delay at a critical time,
and was largely responsible for the
hardness Of the United States III get

Our chagrin was accumulated when

any two regiments had the same
equipment. and It was necessary TO
delay activities further. until the vol
uutecrs could be properly armed IL

not been drilled for the duties which
would fall upon II IN case OF war. and

real fighting power was recognized.
however, and as soon as the war was
over work TO this end was started.
The Guard has since been made a part
Of the national army. It operates IN
der the same regulations. has the
same arms and equipment. and Is in
stTuctcd on the same principles. At
the annual camps and maueuvers the
Guard and the regular army are
thrown together. under the same com

cheney of the Guard has increased a
hundred fold under this arrangement.

militant force that could give most
excellent account Of itself in case OF

been one Of the most important and
valuable accomplishments of the Gov
