ments already are at the camp and II
other are awaiting orders to go.
Up to this morning Mai Gen. Leonard

the east had official notice that only
two troops Of cavalry and two reEi-
ments Of infantry were modified in the
whole department, covering p states
and extending from the Canadian Dor
der to the Gulf of Mexico. along the
Atlantic coast Commenting thereon
Gen. Wood said the need of regular
reserve corps was clearly demonstrated
He added that he was informed that the
troops in camp are only up TO peace
strength It was likely that the same
shortage existed in all thu states IN his
department. which would mean that all
the regiments would have 20 recruit
and drill men before they would be
ready for service.

Il do not wis., TO imply any criticism
Of the national guard" Gen Wood said
but the facts illustrate our Utter lack
of readiness to defend Ourselves on
