NATIONAL GUARD
AWAITING CALL
All Depends Upon What the Presi-
dent Asks For, Says Adju-
tant General Stewart

Il
IL f60O6HS to-day. IT was at
f67NxNEtS0 Washington yes
E9nIHHNl lalN1X terday and discus
9uUO sed militia affairs
with General Mills,
<ElHz--sss;--::sscS in charge of such
matters, but the number of men and
character Of organizations depends en-
tirely on what the President calls
for"
The general said that possibilities in
connection with the call for men had
been discussed, but that nothing def
mite had been decided. Nothing can
be said now whether the Guard will
go into the federal service as a divi-
sion, as is desired by many Pennsylva-
mans, or not Washington dispatches
say that Pennsylvania people want the
Guard to go with it's own major gen.
eral and brigadier generals and that
the President will be asked to arrange
for it. In the Spanish war the regi-
ments and other organizations were
taken in and the President named the
general officers, the governor commits
sioning all from colonels down.
General Stewart was accompanied
to Washington by General c. B.
Dougherty, commanding the division,
and Brigadier Generals c. M. Clement
and William G.. Price, Jr., command
ing the Third and First brigades. Con-
gresham Willis j. Hulings, formerly
a brigadier general, was also present.
The Guard. as is known, has one
more brigade than needed for a divi-
sion, but is short on artillery and cav
airy. The Fourteenth regiment could
be turned into an artillery command.
