was the faith that made vital their appeal for
the justice of their cause and the righteousness
of their undertaking?
They believed In themselves; in their ability to

They believed in themselves In their people, In

nouncement coming later that the fol
lowing companies are ready to move
at moments notice: Troops A and
d, cavalry; Battery B, artillery, and
four companies of infantry.
Cavalry troop A is over its mini

five men on it's rolls, the majority OF
these men being seasoned campaign
ers who have seen service in the reg.
ular army. Every officer of the
troop is a former United States cav.
alryman. Troop d of Boulder, com.
manded by Capt. H. C. Washburn, also
is up te its minimum strength. Both
troops are in need of horses, but
these could be furnished when the
men reach the border.
Battery B of Denver, commanded by
Capt. G. A. Blanchard, was up to
strength when it left this city for the
rifle range at Golden. 1t is one of
the best equipped detachments in the
state, and is ready to entrain at any
minute. With the addition of four in.
fantry companies, Colorado is pre-.
pared to send about 600 officers and
men to the border
While no official confirmation of
this statement was obtainable, it is
currently reported that three of the
four infantry companies up to mini
mum strength, or SO near to mini
mum strength that at any minute they
will be ready to move, are Company
H of Seibert, Company c of Lamar
and Company X of Canon City.
The states share of the expense OF
getting the guard into shape will total
about $50,OOO, according to the adju-
tant general, this expense ceasing as
soon as the guardsmen are mustered
into government service.
