that II has not been practicable to

had on the border. In this respect the
Matchmaking of the qua ri has no had

chafed Ia the service, applications for
Burroughs have been numerous, and
most OF the applicants have seen no
good reason why they should be kept
away from their businesses and fam
HES for the kind Of duty they are per
forming.
Owing to the experiment thus far
with the national guard II will not be
strange To see a strong attempt made
