MOBILIZATION MEANS
FITTING MEN FOR SERVICE

Although the word, mobilization,
had found occasion for mention thou
sands of times during the past two
years, the fact that its meaning is not
clearly understood has been develop
ed by the present efforts to prepare
the National Guard for service in
Mexico.
Just what do you mean when you
speak of mobilization reporter
asked an officer of the regular army.
In speaking of the regulars" he
said, one can say practically always
that they are mobolized. They are
equipped and accoutered for service
and are ready to proceed to q point
for war service on short notice.
But the national guardsman is not.
He spends most of his time. in days
Of peace, away from military things.
When we are ordered to mobilize him
we first. summon him to a military
camp, see that he is up on the routine
of army matters and fit him with the
things he will need for considerable

not mean just that To get men into
