Is Given Orders TO Recruit Up
to the Full Strength for
Probable Service.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. April "a
| Directions have been sent out from
the division of military affairs OF the
war department to have all nattonai
guard companies recruited up to the
full strength as prescribed by law,
and have 1t done at once. No or
ders had been given when this was
written to have the national guard
called out for service In Mexico, but
| in the event OF the invasion OF that
country by an American army the
national guardsmen would be the
frst to be called on, and by reason
of the recent field. service in the
Paint creek strike region, it is be-
heved the West Virginia state troops
would be among the first accepted.
Finder the provision OF the bill just
passed companies and regiments may
be added to the army as such and
the intention IS to use the national
guard companies and regiments as
far as possible in getting volunteers
for army service.
The statement OF the cniaf OF tle
division Of militia affairs or the war
department is that there are 100 OIL
ficers and 1883 men in the west
Virginia National guard available for
military service, but this number IS
to be increased by recruiting all tne
companies to their full strength, 50
| that in the event of the guard Of
that state volunteering the number
of men would be considerably in ex-
cess Of that given.
Already two West virginans are
in the thick of the fighting. They
are. Major r. c. Berkeley, OF Shep-
nerdstown, and Captain Macker
Babb, OF Medley. both of whom are
| in the marine corps and assisted 1T
the capture OF Vera Cruz, havins
been landed there with the marine
corps from the Atlantic fleet. Botn
lof them saw service in the war with
Spain and have been in the marine
corps ever since.
