Des Moines, April l0.-Guy f. Logan,
adjutant general Of the Iowa National
Guard, believes that the Iowa guard is
liable to 6e called on for duty along
the border or in Mexico at any time
The fact that the Iowa guard Includes
a squadron Of cavalry and battery or
field artillery well trained and
equipped makes ii all the more prob
able that this state will be called on
to furnish troops.
1T is cavalr! and field artillery tIat
they especially need down there eX-
planned the adjutanl general and
Iowa is one Of the few states whose
national guard includes these organi'
zat!ons.'
The adjutant general sa id that if the
state was ordered TO send .roops at
once the cavalry would probably be
rnob!lized al West Liberty and the field
artillery at Davenport The infantry
would be mobu;zed a Des MONIES. But
if more time was given the troops
would probably all be mobi!!zed at Des
MONIES.
