RECRUITING IN
STATE CHECKED
News Story Published at Jackson Last
Week Throws Damper on
Enthusiasm.

Officers of the National Guard in
Mississippi and especially those in the
recruiting line Of work are much dis.
pleased as a result Of stories pub.
lished in one Of the Jackson papers Of
September 7th, to the effect that the
National Guard of this state would be
mustered out.
The story in regard to the Missis-
sippi Guardsmen was mistake pure
and simple. It was published on the
same day that the report was sent out
from Washington that the troops
from several of the Northern states,
who were recently recalled from the
border, had been ordered demobilized.
The troops ordered mustered out came
from New York, New Jersey, Iowa,
Louisiana, Washington and Oregon,
and numbered $4,000.
The fact that these troops had been
ordered mustered out must have given
the news patherers on the Jackson
paper the idea that all of the state
troops would be demobilized; a thing
that has not been contemplated. A
local story was published at Jackson
that the Mississippi Guardsmen would
be mustered out, though the orders
had not yet been received, and went
so far as to say that the soldier boys
would return home as soon as paid off.
The chief objection to the story Of
fered by the recruiting officers is that
it has virtually stopped all enlisting.
A young man does not care to quit
good job to 90 to Jackson for a few
days only to be mustered out. He pre-
fers to stay with his job.
Secretary Baker, of the War De-
partment, has stated that he has no
intention of ordering the rest Of the
state troops mustered out, but that
he expects all troops now in state
camps to see some service on the bor-
der.
Preparations are being made, ac-
cording to reports, for breaking camp
at Camp Swep Taylor, which, If it
means anything, means that the Mis-
'sissippi boys will soon be of to the
border.

PASSPORT TO THE FRONT.

The only passport to the front
which it not fraught with a thousand
difficulties is a simple little tele-
gram. With it woman-it is near
ly always a woman-can leave Lon
don, get aboard ship, pass through
Boulogne, and arrive at the front
without any other document, the
London Chronicle states. But it is
not a passport that any woman would
wish to have, for that little telegram
is sent only to the relative of some
soldier abroad who is dangerously i'll.
The church army has a special
branch which looks after the woman
who receives the sad summons. The
army sisters meet her in London /;
she stays the night, if need be, in one
Of their homes. She is escorted to
the train for the front, and is met at
Boulogne. She gets to the base hos
pital, and then her dear boy sees her
and smiles happily, and, perhaps, re-
ceives his last promotion. But very
often these dangerous cases recover,
and there are joyous hours before the
journey home is made.
The war Office helps women in very
poor circumstances, and the church
army frequently makes the way easy,
too.
