mYHE entire force of the Ohio Ma
tional Guard, consisting of $500
enlisted men and 500 officers,
could take the field within three
hours for service for the country if war
| with Mexico should be declared. The
Guard is thoroughly prepared for
call, having been recently put on
regular army footing. No orders
have been received by Adjt. Gen.
George H. Wood from the war depart
ment directing the troops to be held
in readiness for call, but if they
should be received within 80 minutes
time every regiment and smaller or
ganization of the Guard could be no
| titled.
I'VE are so well prepared that we
could place the entire Ohio National
Guard in the field for action within a
few hours" said Adjt. Gen. George H.
Wood. 1--WE are now on a regular
army footing, and the entire Guard
could take it's place in the regular
army in the event of a call without it
being necessary to change the forma-
tion of a single regiment or smaller
organization of the Guard We con-
form absolutely to the regular army
requirements" Ohio National Guard
officers are watching the Mexican sit
uation keenly, and there are number
who are of the opinion that interven.
ton by the United States will come
and that the Ohio Guard will be called
into service. The war spirit is strong
among many of the officers and men
who would not be averse to going
down to Mexico.
