that the national guard has responded
SO promptly and willingly to the de-
mands made upon It recently. officials
say that in spite OF the sacrifice II

reports from all over the country say
that there has been almost no tendency
to evade service. Militia calls mean
sacrifice for many and in possibly no
other city is this felt more than in the
nations capital. The men who will
go into camp from the District alone
will cause the District pay roll to be
depleted by about $4,000. More thar

worker remarked. He had been nro-
NOTED the very day OF the summons TO

portunity to avail himself OF the pro-
motion even for an hour. That seems
to be the philosophical way the call
has been received throughout the
