TAKING DUAL OATH
IN NATIONAL GUARD

Washington, Nov. 30.-Today marked
the expiration of the time limit fixed
by the war department for the Ma
tional Guard organizations throughout
the country, which have been mus
tered out, to take the new dual oath
of enlistment, prescribing three years
with the colors and three with the re-
serves.
There Is nothing to compel the
guardsmen to take the new oath. but
in all cases where a sufficient num-
Der has declined with the result that
the organizations to which they be-
longed have been brought below the
minimum strength, such organizations
will be mustered out, provided they
cannot recruit to the minimum after
g. reasonable amount of time allowed
by the war department.
Heretofore the members Of the Ma
tional Guard took an oath to obey the
governor but under the new act, which
federalizes the militia, the members
are required to take a dual oath, one to
the governor and one to the president
If members OF the guard refuse to take
the new oath the war department loses
