ABSENT D. C. GUARDSMEN
MUST ANSWER CHARGES
Men Who Have Failed to Respond
to Colors to Be Dealt With
Under Military Law.

Those men who have so far failed to
answer the call to the colors, issued
more than two weeks ago by President
Wilson, are likely to find themselves in
a serious conflict with the United States
government. There are few who have
not shown up since the call was issued
and efforts to locate them and get them
into camp have failed. but the officers
now will go after them more in earnest
than ever before.
Orders were issued at brigade head
quarters today for all organization
commanders to bring charges against
those men who have failed to respond
to their country's call What charges
will be placed against the men depends
upon each particular case. Such men as
have been in camp and failed to return
probably will be tried for absence with
out leave, while those who have totally
disregarded the call may be tried as de-
serters.
Numbers of such men who have failed
to answer are not yet obtainable and
will not be until the cases are filed by
the officers of the various commands
now in camp.
