know that the adjutant general had
decided upon such reorganization, but
if such is the case it will have the eff
feet of abolishing the divisional organ
ization, carrying with it my own COM
mission" said Major General Edward
c. Young last night.
such a change would also abolish
the Third brigade, which fails to COM
ply numerically with the regulations
prescribed in circular No. s. That
would affect Brigadier General Edward
Kittilsen of Rock Island, and his staff.
q had understood that the secretary
of war was still considering the legal
question of whether the regulation
should be according to the law of con-
gress regarding army regulations or
according to the new circular. The
Illinois National Guard was organized
