Washington, June ls.-The Presi-
dents order calling the national guard
into the Federal service went to the
Governor Of each state in the form Of
the following telegram, signed BY Sec
retary Baker:
Having in view the possibility Of
further aggression upon the territory
Of the United States from Mexico and
the necessity for the proper protection
of that frontier. the President has
thought proper to exercise the author
ity vested in him by the Constitution
and laws and call out the organized
militia and the national guard neces-
sary for that purpose. | am in con-
sequence instructed by the President
to call into the service of the United
States forthwith, through you, the fol-
lowing units OF the organized militia
and the national guard of the State

ization point, State Camp Ground, Cor

By ". q. M'GEEHAN.

There is one militia regiment Mt the
base OF the punitive expedition at Co
lumbus. n. NJ. When left the border
the regiment was not ready to be mus
tered into the Federal service.
When the regiment was called IL was
theoretically drilled and equipped for
the field at a moments notice, When
il was moved to the camp at Columbus
the mastering officer from the regular
army found that the companies were
not recruited up to even the peace
strength The army surgeons cxamin-
ing the citizen soldiers found barely
60 per cent of the men physically mt
for Federal service.
Il is not pleasant TO criticise this
regiment The spirit behind 1t and the
intense earnestness Of the men were
touching Their unpreparedness was
not their fault. The blame is all with
the scheme Of organization for the
militia.
The regiment was the State of New
Mexico's contribution 20 the defence OF
national honor and for upholdlng the
national prestige. 1t was an infantry
regiment. The most startling thing
about il was that il had no regulation
shoes. The men were nearly a month
in camp before they reached the stage
where the Federal government could
issue shoes to them.
Lack Of Shoes Hindered Drill.
This is one Of the humorous whims
of the War Department in dealing with
the militia. II issues them everything
in the uniform with the exception OF
the shoes. Just why has never been
explained. for it is generally conceded
that the shoes Of infantrymen. next TO
the rifles, constitute the most lmpor-
tant part Of their equipment.
The regiment could not hold any
drills in extended order because the
men were poorly shod. II hampered
the whipping Of recruits into shape;
Recruits were arriving every day. ana
the cagerness with which those militia
non-commissioned officers worked to
make them look like soldiers would win
anybody's admiration.
II reminded me painfully Of the days
of the Spanish American war, when the
United States was feverishly trying TO
drill militia regiments half hlIed with
raw recruits into soldiers to fight what
was supposedly a frst-class power.
Our militia system was shown TO be
idiotic then. and the Mexican crisis has
demonstrated that it has not improved
10 any extent.
The carnestness Of this New Mexican
regiment won the admiration Of reg
ular army officers and they are usual
lv far from cordial to national guards
men.

men Of the 22d Corps Of Engineers

The men were tired and dust covered
after their weekend drills in Van COrt-
landt Park. and were just rolling their
apparatus back into the big new l6sth

The 22d Regiment is commanded by

Will Be No Delay

There will be none o. the delay in
mobilization which was experienced IN
1898. when the New York STATE troops
we're ordered out for service against
Spain. There were no funds on hand
then FOR the purpose, and before the
military authorities could proceed
with the mobilization special ses-
sion Of the Legislature had 20 be
called
But this wear, in view OF conditions
in Mexico. the Legislature made pre-
cautionarv appropriation Of S500,OO0,
which will row stand the guard IN
good stead
One difficulty in mobilization that is
foreseen by national guard officers Is
the lack Of horses and mules About
5000 are required, and the state S far
short. However, an evidence Of the
thoroughness with which the militia
