Militia, Through Governor, Tells
Secretary of War of Its
Willingness
Baker, Secretary of War:

"The National Guard of Hawaii

partment deems the present exigen-

Shortly after Adj-gen. Samuel ].
johnson was informed this morning
by the Star-Bulletin that President
Wilson had called out militias of the
three border states of Texas, New
Mexico and Arizona, he went over to
the Capitol building for conference
with Governor Pinkham. -....- -.
When the conference had ended the
foregoing cablegram was forwarded
to the cable office for trans
mission to " Nashington, testimony to
the fact that Hawaii's guard is ready
and willing to answer any call the
heads Of the nation mn. put to 1t.
Guard officers here point out that
while the men are ready and willing
to go, It is not likely that the military
policy at Washington would favor call.
ing out the guard from this island
for duty on the mainland, though
news of this sort would bring rejoic.
ing to many guardsmen here.
News that the President had called
out the militia of three states caused
various bits of speculation at army
and guard headquarters today. 1t Is
the general belief that the troops un-
der this call viii not cross the line
and go into tie interior Of Mexico,
but will rather be used for border
duty, being stationed along the line
in small towns and relieving the reg
ulars who have been there and who
will be needed on the first line. b
At the last Official guard census
Arizona. had S06 men In the guard, of
whom 492 were present at federal in
spection. Texas had -2956, of whom
1879 were present, and New Mexico
had present $50 out of a total of 1923.
1t is pointed out that Hawaii had ap-
$500 present for inspec-
tion out of a total of 5000.
