Since Their Mobilization.
Chicago July 20-Approximately
100000 men responded when President
Wilson called out the national guard
for service on the border
OF these 100000 have been sent to
the border and 10000 are being kept
in state mobilization camps
II is estimated that volunteer or
ganizations since formed will total
100000 men
This showing of the state troops,
according to these reports, is much
stronger than ali estimates made
previous to the mobilization order
There is widespread interest in
what share the various states have
taken in providing this new volunteer
army
The demand for this information is
to be voiced in congress. Representa-.
tive Madden of Illinois is expected to
present resolution in the house ask
ing the president TO inform congress
what use he has made OF the national
guard since il was modified
Reports from various states show
that the North has contributed the

service along the border
