There is no longer any signal corps as

which the corps had anything to was
on May 3. when it was formally mus
tered out. or rather the remnant that
was left. lloadqu for the corps
had been maintained at Norman, at
the university. There is no partiCu-

Of this branch of the guard service.
except that general Indifference
seemed to have pervaded the mem
horship. There is good material in
the state Tor such an organization,
and it is possible that the corps will
ho reorgani2ed at some future time.
There is every necessity for such an
arm Of the state guard service and II
is believed that before long there will
be a sufficient number to reinstate
the service.
