WHITMAN TO CALL
1851 MORE GUARDS
New York Governor Gives Notice That
He Will Form an Entire New Di-
vision of Militia

WASHINGTON, July Announce
ment was made late last night that Gov
ernor Whitman of New York had advised
Secretary of War Baker that he would
authorize the recruiting at once Of new
infantry division Of the National Guard
to take the place at home of the first di
vision, which has been mustered into the
federal service.
The new division is to be known as the
second division, and the command has
been rendered to Major Gen. Daniel APP
pleton. This means that there are to be
1861 National Guardsmen recruited as a
part of the general program of national
preparedness.
Senator Wadsworth called at the White
House and laid before President Wilson
the information he had received from
Governor Whitman in regard to the plan
of replacing the division that has gone to
the border. The President expressed great
satisfaction at the news. It is believed
that with the approval of the Washington
authorities, the example set by Governor
Whitman will be followed by governors
Of other large states like Pennsylvania
within the next few days, and that there
will he large number of new National
Guard organizations formed to take the
place of those called into the federal ser
vice
The organization of a division of troop,
will require the establishment of a head
quarters, with a full staff of officers in The
combatant, medical, quartermaster, anc
hospital corps A division consists o
three brigades of infantry, one regiment
of cavalry, brigade of signal corps troops
and includes one ammunition train, on,
supply train, one sanitary train, and on,
engineer train. The fact that Governo
NVhitman's plan has met with the approx
al of the secretary of war and the Presi
dent indicates that the United States gov
crnment will supply the necessary equip
ment.
