NATIONAL GUARD
CENSUS Is COMING
WAR DEPARTMENT WOULD LIKE
TO KNOW iF ALL oRGANIzA.
TIoNs ARE UP TO FULL
QUOTA.

Washington, Dec. Sit is proposed
at the war department to take a full
census of the National Guard soon 10
ascertain just how many men are in
the service. The department wishes
to check up on the organizations with
view TO learning whether each one
is up to full quota or how badly deplet-
ed.
Indeed II is suspected that many or
CARNATIONS will be found to be far
short of full numbers. The first pur-
pose is to make sure that the Nation
al Guard bodies in the various states
receiving returns under the Dick bill
are giving the federal government val
ue received. The second and larger
purpose is to arouse the National
Guard to greater efforts In the enlist
ment of men.
After the returns are in the war
department proposes further to urge
a gradual reduction i'm the number OF
infantry organizations and an increase
in the other branches cavalry. artil-
lery. signal corps. engineer corps, etc.
1t is felt that, the country over, there
are far too many infantry militiamen
i'm proportion to other branches of
the service. Should war or other
emergency come and a general call be
sent out the militia would swamp the
war department with infantrymen
while coming i'm jeplorably weak in
every other branch.
The army heads feel that the day
is gone when infantry alone are OF
real avail. Cavalry or mounted in
fantry are greatly needed and efn-
cient artillery is especially needed as
well as signalmen and engineers.
The situation in Michigan is typi-
cal with three regiments of infantry
comprising SO companies as against
the following organizations in all other
branches of the military service: One
corps of engineers. Calumet; two de-
tached signal corps, Ypsilanti and To-
mia; two troops of cavalry, Detroit and
South Haven; one battery Of field ar
tillery, Lansing.
Bringing the case in point straight
to Michigan. the war department asks:
Suppose the full strength OF the Ma
tional Guard were called out i'm that
state: how inefficient would IL be with
so overwhelming a proportion of in
fantry and with so insignificant a pro-
portion of cavalry, artillery, engineers
and signal corps men?

BERLIN FINALLY DoCKED.
One More Boat May Come Here Be-
fore the Navigation Season Ends.

The steamer City of Berlin. with a
cargo of soft coal docked at the Peo-
pies Fuel company docks at about -four
o'clock yesterday afternoon, after a
most remarkably prolonged voyage
from Lake Erie longer than would be
required for three ordinary trips of a
transatlantic liner between New York
and Europe. The barge Aurora, towed
by the Berlin, was taken to the elec-
trio power house, the tug Hebard
breaking the ice for her before she
could proceed TO the coal dock.
There is a probability of still an
other boat coming here before navi-
cation finally closes, the Northern

Obliged to put back into Buffalo for re-
