Last Washington Men
Mustered Into Service

Thirty-eisht District militiamsn were
mustered into the Federal service at the
mobilization camp yesterday These are
expected to be the last men Capt
Horace p. Hobbs will muster in from
the local citizen-soldiery.
The thirty eight men were members
of compa MES mustered in before July
!, before the Hay-Chamberlain army re-
organization bill went into effect The
men had either Joined the companies
since the muster OF their organizations
or were absent from camp on recruiting
or other duties when their cornpanies
were sworn In.
About 100 other recruits were lined up
for muster with the thirty eight yester-
day, but Captain Hobbs said II was not
necessary to muster them in. These
men are recruits who have been added
TO the militia since the H.y-GhsmSer.
Leonard Wood issued orders that
recruits eniisting after July l need not
be mustered In.
The fact that they are assigned to
commands which have already been
mustered is construed to be enough to
muster them into the Federal service.
