Officers Optimistic Despite
War Departments Rescind-
ing Of Orders.
NEW EQUIPMENT FOR
GUARD TO BE SUPPLIED
Capt. Hobbs Then to Report Regi-
ment at Minimum Strength-Fu-
ture Then Will Be Decided.

Despite the fact that the War Depart
ment has rescinded the orders issued sew
eral days ago directing that all nobilized
troops be sent to the border as soon as
equipped. officers at Camp Ordway. the
mobilization camp for the District mill
tia, are inclined to be optimistic. They
still believe that the regiment will go
out just as soon as 1t is equipped, and
that will be within the next two days.
The orders sent out by the War Depart
ment last week directing the dispatch of
all mobilized troops as soon as equipped
never have been received by Capt. Horace
officer at Camp Ordway. Therefore, he is
proceeding under the orders issued
shortly after the troops took the field.
Under the terms Of those orders the mus
tering officer was directed to report
troops ready as soon as they had reached
minimum strength and were equipped.

Capt. Hobbs said today that the old
equipment now Is being surveyed with
a view to having it condemned, and the
new equipment to replace it Is now in
the storehouse at Fort ,Myer. AS soon
as this is issued Capt. Hobbs said that
he would report the Sd Infantry at
minimum strength and equipped for
field service.
1t is then up to the Eastern Depart
ment to say whether or not the troops
will start for the border at this time.
All preparations now being made in
camp look to an early departure of the
troops. AS soon as the minimum
strength was reached the work of
taking in the old property was begun.
All the troops were sent out on the
drill field this morning for extended
order and bayonet drill.

National Guard Camp Notes.

In the past few days Company H has
probably obtained more recruits than
any other command. Its total today
was eleven. The names follow: Charles
H. Burkeley. Robert L. Lurton, Milton
E. Lowe. Fred Johnson, Albert j.
Jones, Maurice Rabbit. Edward Stew
art, George Mouiben, A. E. Compiler,
Charles E. FoIlin, John A. Reynolds.
The ma ajority of these recruits were
brought to Company II by Privates
Arthur P Tetlow and Wade p. Lane.
Tetlow is said to be the best recruit
"getter" of Company H. Top Sergt.
NJ. E. Darby said that yesterday morn
ing Tetlow came into camp at 2:3O
o'clock dragging four prospective re-
cruits behind him. He awoke the top
sergeant. the captain of the company
and the officer-of-the-day, to make ar
rangements to safely keep the recruits
until the recruiting officer could finish
the Job He wanted them placed in
the guardhouse until morning. Two
of them left camp before reveille, but
Tetlow was out early and brought them
back into camp and did not leave them
again until they had raised their right
hands to take the oath.
Company f is badly in need of a
good cook. The cook gets $50 a month
whether he is good or bad, but If he is
good one the boys will all chip in
at the end of the month and increase
his salary considerably. So here's a
chance for some cook to get out Into
the open and get a trip to the border
day.
