NATIONAL GUARD
READY FOR CALL
Adjutant General of Illinois Or
ganization Says the Present
Strength Is 1000 Men.
1900 IS HELD MAXIMUM
State Force Thoroughly Armed and
Equipped for Active Service
ii the Field.

Chicago. Ill. April 2O.-Frank S
Dickson. adjutant general of the Hi.
nois National Guard, gave the follow
/ ing statement to the Chicago Record
Herald today:
The Illinois National Guard is
ready to go to the front.
Our actual strength at this time is
approximately 1000 men. By recruit
ing we can send about $1,000. These
men are equipped and trained. in other
words. ready to fight for the flag.
Without any unnecessary confusion
as to equipment / feel that we could
mobilize our troops in Springfield with
in fifteen hours. with the exception of a
few isolated companies. which would
be held back by train movements.
Strength of Guard.
The National Guard throughout the
United States numbers about $4,000
men. or that number Illinois has eight
regiments OF infantry. one regiment of
cavalry one battalion of field artillery,
one signal company. one engineer COM
pany, one field hospital and ten di-
visions of naval reserves. Attached to
the First Regiment of infantry is a
machine gun platoon. The infantry
regiments are organized in two brig
AIDES, each having three regiments and
an attached regiment.
This force is thoroughly armed and
equipped for active field service. This
organization, in common with the Ma
tional Guard Of the several states. as
well as the regular army, is on peace
footing as to numbers The United
States law provides that the president
may fix the minimum and maximum
strength of the organizations as con-
dition precedent TO recognition by the
federal government. The minimum
number per company of infantry or
troop of cavalry has for some time
been fixed by the president at 5s. which
is for enlisted strength.
Exceed Minimum Strength.
This is for what is known as a peace
footing. Many of our companies are
far in excess of the minimum strength.
The maximum or war strength doubt
less will be fixed by the president in
case OF a general call.
The sole activity OF the federal
government in its dealings with the
National Guard as well as the purpose
of the state for several years past has
been to create a co-ordinated. efficient,
disciplined force equipped with the idea
Of active field service. The dress par
ade proposition and tin soldier idea is
a thing OF the past. All equipment and
training has been along the idea or
for an emergency.
Mobilize at Capital.
81 assume that should active hostil-
tiles occur which would necessitate a
call on the state OF Illinois by the gen
eral government for a quota of troops,
that the governor would mobilize the
National Guard at Springfield. which
point has for many years been agreed
upon as a mobilization point. Assum-
Ing that such Illinois quota would ex-
coed the number OF troops at present
enlisted on the peace footing
the ranks would doubtless be filled to
the prescribed war strength by recruit
ing officers filling in tho regiments.

SYNOPSIS.

Bud Hooker and Phil De Lancey are
forced. owing to a revolution in Mexico.
to give up their mining claim and return
to The United States. In the border town
of Gadsden Bud meets Henry Kruger, a
wealthy miner. who makes him a PROPOSE
ton to return to Mexico to acquire title
TO a very rich mine which Kruger had
blown up when he found he had been
cheated out Of the title by n Aragon.
The Mexican subsequently had spent a
large sum of money in an unsuccessful
attempt to relocate the vein then al
lowed the land to revert for taxes. Hook-
eE and De Lancey arrive at Fortuna, near
where the Eagle Tail mine is located.
They engage Cruz Mendez to acquire the
title for them and begin preliminary work.
Aragou accuses them of jumping his
claim. Hooker discovers that matr1mon-
ial entanglements prevent MendeL from
occurring a valid title. Phil, who mas
been paying attention to Gracta Arasoh'
decides to turn Mexican n acquire, the
title. Aragon fails in his attempt to DRIVE
them on the claim. Rebels are reported
in the vicinity. A rich vein OF gold y
struck and work on the mine Is stoppeo

At this she broke down and laughed.
Evidently she was not so fearful OF

am a Mexican!"
Then, as he failed to show any signs
Of contrition, she changed her mood
again.
But waltz" she ran on, her eyes
flashing. perhaps we are not SO eager
to defend our government when we
have a new one every year. But II the
men who are gathering in Chihuahua

as Sonorans those men will fight to
the death.
"You laugh because you do not un-
derstand. But why should we So

federals and rurales? Are they not
the soldiers Of Diaz, who have simply
changed to another master? That
Manuel del Rey was last year hunting
down Maderistas in the hills; now he
is fighting for Madero! And tomor-
row? Who can say?"
She shrugged her shoulders scorn-
fully, and Hooker perceived that she
was in earnest in her dislike of the
dashing captain, but prudence warned
him to say nothing II he would escape
being drawn into the quarrel.

tant pause, "let the rurales pursue

She smiled, looking frankly into his
eyes, and Bud blushed to the roots Of
his hair, but onc again he held his
peace.

The Land Of Broken Promises
(cowughL i014. b FuakA A Muasy)

Once more he returned to his work.
humming now the dulcet strains OF
THE Merry Widow" and when Bud
came back from the cut it was to hear
a coon song:
Cos I want yer. me honey. yes. I want
yer. yer;
Cos 1 want yer, ma honey. yes I dol
So he labored and sang, until finally
the labor ceased, and then the song.
He went about other things, and other
thoughts, not so cheerful. filled his
mind.
Bud returned sadly to the company
of the Yaqui and gave it up. Perhaps
his pardner had been right when, rid
ing out of Aqua Negra, he had en-
larged upon the dangers OF Old Mex
leo, the land of manana and broken
promises" Certainly his speech had
been prophetic in regard to dark-eyed
women; for, even as he had said,
nothing seemed to please them better
than to come between man and man.
1t was a madness, he felt sure-the
spell of the hot country, where the
women look out from behind barred
windows and men sing beneath their
balconies at midnight. Already 1t had
cost him his pardner-would 1t con.
quer his will as well and make him
forget his trust?
In his impotence the idea Of some
perverse fate-some malign influence
over which he had no control-was
strong with Hooker; yet when the
blow fell he was not prepared for it
It was the third day of their mining
and, with Amigo, he had been driving
into the face of the cliff.
Already their round of holes was
drilled, the fuses cut, the charges set
and as he retreated before the bias
he noticed absently that Cruz Mende,
was in camp. The shots followed, ont
after another, and he counted them tx
make sure there was no miss-ire-
then he looked around and discovered
that Phil was gone.
where is Don Felipe?" he inquired
of Mendez, and that low-browed broth
er of the burro bowed fawningly be
fore he replied.
"He has gone to Fortuna" he said
wiping his face with a bath towe
which he wore about his neck.
"And what for?" demanded Bud i'm

From whom?"

by Juana, the servant of the Senorit

"Ah!" breathed Bud, and pretende
not to be surprised.
well, let i'm gol" he said to hin
self, and went back into the mine.

to accompany the vcepresdent into the chamber Now, for some unac-
countabe reason, the presence of the chaplain makes Marshall think OF a
funny story. AT about five minutes prior to the hour of opening the senate
he starts to tell this story with calm elaboration.
The golden moments speed on their way, and by etme Marshall has
the basic part Of his story outlined it lacks only two minutes or less until
twelve o'clock. All hands begin to grow nervous, and the sergeantatarms
comes to the door, watch in hand, to make certain that the yicepresident is
going to reach his seat in due season. @@sH
Marshall gets up from his desk and proceeds across the corridor, still
working toward the point to his story, and by a burst of speed gets out the
climax just as he pushes open the door into the senate chamber. Chaplain
Pretyman has his choice then of not laughing at the story, which would
perhaps be impoite on his part, or of laughing and then pulling his face
back into shape ready to offer prayer while walking the few steps from the
door to the roGrum.
