nome station or company rendezvous
and date of reporting. One card must
be made out for each man. This will
involve considerable amount of work,
but it will be rushed on account of the
need for additional troops along the
border. Whether the District troops
Will have to take another oath has not
yet been determined.
Take Oath by Units.
The administering of the oath will be
by units. in accordance with the fol-
regulations:
and accepted. the mastering officer, ac-
companied by the captain, will verify
the numbers in the several grades and
see that, together, they correspond
with the whole number of names on
the muster-in roll and agree with the
prescribed organization. All enlisted
men OF the company will then be di-
rected to uncover and raise their right
hands, when the mastering officer will
administer the following acknowledge
ment and oath: All and each of you
whose names are hereto subscribed do
hereby acknowledge to have voluntari-
ly accepted service as enlisted men this
. :. ID, day OF =; -, in the Volunteer
Tor the period of =. unless sooner
discharged by proper authority; and
you do solemnly swear Cor affirm that
you Will bear true faith and allegiance
that you will serve them honestly and
faithfully against all their enemies
whomsoever; and that you will obey
the orders of the President of the
United States and the others of the of
ncers appointed over you, according to
the rules and articles of war, so help
you Cod
Then Will Be Volunteers.
When the hands drop. the men, for
merly members of the National Guard
of the District of Columbia, will be
United States volunteers. What hap
pens after that cannot now be forecast.
for the reason that matters are moving
SO rapidly in the vicinity of the border
that orders one minute may have to be
changed the next to meet the require
ments of the service.
But there is one thing practically
certain-the District troops will be
kept at their intensive training work
with a view to having them ready to
entrain within very few hours after
the call Is issued to them from thes
War Department.
