NEW OATH FOR
IOWA GUARD
Found That One Given Last June
Didn't Comply With
Law.

Members OF the Iowa national guard
are now being asked By the war de-
partment to take a new oath OF serV'
ice.
II has been discovered that the
oath which the guardsmen TOOK last
June when they were mustered into
federal service was not authorized
under the law. Therefore, the war
department has drafted form OF
oath which does comply with the
new military law.
There is doubt among military men
whether the federal oath under which
the Iowa men are now serving, is
valid. However, 1t is said that the
euardsmen can be held under the old
militia oath.
the war department has specified
that in order for the states to receive
federal aid for military purposes,
each organization of infantry must
have at least fifty men who subscribe
to the new oath. Adj Gen. Guy r.
