Des Moines, June 34.--It is not prob
able that any large proportion Of the
thousands who marched in the Des
Moines preparedness" parade some
weeks ago will ever come near the re-
cruiting officers. and if they did it
would be found that only few would
be accepted for service as soldiers.
The boys who are aura cted by the
adventure of the trip to the Mexican
border and are willing to make the
sacrifice which the occasion demands
are finding that the army require
ments are very strict and that it is
not every one who is patriotic who is
to be permitted to show patriotism by
fighting. The men who are being ad-
mitted to the Iowa National Guard
companies for immediate service are
passing a rigid examination, as to all
their physical characteristics. A num-
Der are rejected Good health is
first requisite. The late Gen. Josiah
Given used to tell about the modern
requirements for service and give his
own experience.
when I was boy" he said. 'the
news of events down on the Mexican
border stirred my blood to action and
seized my little drum and went out
with an Ohio regiment. simply
couldn't resist the desire to get into
the game. In later years when Fort
Sumpter was fired upon l again got
the fever and hurried to offer my
services to my country. subsidized
until in 1898 when the sorrows of
Cuba again attracted me and went
over TO the state house to see what I
could do. I offered myself to Governor
Shaw for any service. The governor
looked at me and said
general, when you enlisted the
other time they examined your teeth,
didn't they
Il said they did and he asked me to
let him examine mine. promptly
took them out and handing them TO
him said Here they are; you can see
for yourself they are all right
But that did not seem to satisfy the
governor and so was rejected,
though I am sure they were a perfect
ly good set. And that is why l didn't
get into the third war Of my time"
1t is to the credit of Iowa that just
now the recruiting ONlCeTS are pussy
filling up the ranks of the companies
and d great many are being offered.
But it remained for something other
than a political parade to arouse the
boys to action. 4 few days ago the
Des Moines press club had a session
and discussed what we could do to
help the Iowa national guard lift it
self from a 5000 basis to one of 10000
or more. Incidentally it was brought
out that the one local company Of in
fantry was below the peace standard
in numbers and despite the strenuous
effort of the officers for many weeks
it had not been possible to recruit up.
The question was asked as to what
effect the preparedness parade had
had on recruiting and Captain Graham
said it had not helped in the slightest
degree. In fact he was short four
men and did not know where in the
world to get them. The preparedness
paraders had not given any assistance
whatever. That was just before the
news came that the guard was likely
to be called out. Since the cali good
many have offered their services. 1t

'hington that

was the call from Washington that
had the necessary effect.
1t is understood that some. one Is
keeping tab on the recruits and will
later report what proportion OF the
preparedness parade actually showed
patriotism Of the only kind that counts
in time of war, by enlisting.
The fact that it was the Tenth
cavalry which was first led into a
bloody engagement in Mexico recalls
that years ago one of the most notable
of the organizations in the Iowa ma
tional guard was an infantry company
of colored boys in Des lMoines. 1t, was
under command Of Captain Banks,
then on the police force, now a janitor
at the court house. As long as the
company was maintained it was in
fine condition for actual service. In
the Spanish-American war the late
Amos Brandt of this city organized
and went to the front with a colored
company of U. S. volunteers. 1t is
everywhere recognized that the
negroes make excellent soldiers.

The guardsmen who are to assemble

Perry interurban about ten miles and
tbs land almost adjoins the grounds
of the Hyperion Club. The state owns
very fine tract Of land there, well
suited TO the purpose but wholly IN
adequate for a regimental camp. Inc
state rifle range, which is owned by
the United States is about mile ana
half east on the Des Moines river.
The state has two other rife ranges
but only partially equipped. Under
the. new military arrangement the
state will have to secure several other
rife ranges and larger camp grounds.
If the guard is to be maintained as
contemplated in the new law the
equipment must be increased ma
terially. The next legislature will be
under obligation to make a very great
increase in the appropriations for the
support of the guard. Possibly the
United States government could be in
duced to trade off the abandoned army
post at Fort Des Moines for some good
ground useful for the guardsmen.
Eighteen years ago the state fair
ground park was made use of for
camp before the Iowa regiments were
sent southwark.
1t will surprise many persons TO
learn that an inventory of the prop
erty which is used by the Iowa Ma
tional Guard for armory purposes
shows an aggregate value of s1,0S3,o0o.
This is all privately owned property.
The state pays armory rental each
year to the extent of s59,950 on the
same. These figures were furnished
members Of congress some time ago
when the spokesman for the army
clique were declaring that the guard
organizations should be abandoned
because they represented nothing. In
addition to the rental of armories the
state pays $4,000 a year. for lease OF
rifle ranges, aside from the two which
the United States government owns.
The state values It's camp ground at
$4,000 and other property for use OF
the guard at s17,5o0. The annual APP
preparation of the state for the sup
port of the guard is now slS5,000
year and the guard has been getting
under the old law about $4,000 year
from the federal government.
