STATE MILIIIAS

selves in Readiness to

That the national guard of all the
states in the union have been given
orders from the war department, Is
the contention of the Washington cor
respondent OF the Philadelphia Ledg-
err. He says, under date of May 10:
The national guard of every state
in the union has received orders from
the war department to hold itself In
readiness fer call to the colors. This
was learned today from the division
of militia. affairs. The orders have
gone forth TO meet the contingency
that the militia may be called into the
federal service along the Mexican
border or possibly in Mexico.

cautionary move, a.. hat % yet there

sions of the national guard have been
made. Pennsylvania will mobilize at

portation has been looked after, and
the commander OF every regiment
knows how long It win take to entrain
his men and get them started for the

Word has reached here that the
prospect of the national guard being
called into active service has stimu-
lated an interest in the militia, and
companies are being recruited to their
maximum strength.
"The Oklahoma guard Is protesting
that it was not included with New
Mexico. Arizona and Texas in the first
call, and is preparing to respond to

train DEPARTS

2
How the Vancouver troop train pull
ed out from the Union Depot at Port
land, Oregon, following the call to
Mexico issued recently by the war
department, is told In an interesting
way by The Evening Telegram, which
says the occasion Of the departure
was solemn, and that there was Meth
er fuss nor tears. Says the Tele-
gram:
1.-THE soldiers, khaki clad and withal
very prepared looking, stayed for the
most part in their cars Every win
dow was up, though, and the men
hung out the depot side. hoping that
by chance they would see familiar
face among those who had come TO
the depot bearing Godspeed.
THE women showed they were not
for the usual heroics Of similar occa-
sions.
Here's something to remember me
by, said the one with z black hat.
Whereupon she handed stick Of
chewing gum up to her soldier boy.
He grinned and took It.
Hey, mail them, will yuhT asked
another soldier as he leaned out Of
the vestibule and hailed one Of the
passers-by. It was bunch of pic
ture postcards addressed to his girls,
scattered about over the face OF the
United States. He must have been a
sailor at one time, that soldier.
Preparedness reigned in the mess
car. Great beef carcasses hung on
hooks, numberless leaves of bread
ranged up and down the walls. There
were stoves, and even kindling wood
I'll in readiness.
The soldiers themselves looked ex-
ceedingly fit. None OF them carried
any excess flesh. Most of them had
their uniforms brushed up for the
occasion, and some even had them
newly pressed"

Straight From-the Shoulder is
Talk to Juniors in Mill
tary Camp

That battles must be won by fight
ing, and that officers, in addition to
their courage, must have knowledge
and character are among the things
driven home in a speech to group
of young officers by their senior in an
English military camp somewhere in
France" The speech has been print
ed in the Weekly Times Of London.
Excerpts from it are given herewith:
You are responsible for the success
full leading of your men in battle; you
are responsible for their safety, as
far as this can be ensured, while gain
ing success in battle; you are respon-
sible for their health, for their COM
fort, for their good behavior and dis
cipline. Finally, and not least, you
are responsible for maintaining the
honor of England, for doing all you
can to ensure the security of England
and of our women and our children
after us.
/ To bear all these responsibilities
successfully you must acquire, first,
knowledge. You must know what to
do and how to do it, in order to lead
your men with success and honor, and
which will be suffered if you are ig-
norant of your work and of your pro-
fession. Secondly, you must ac-
quire characteristic is, resolution,
self-confidence, self-sacrifice-in order
to inspire your men by your example,
sustain their courage in danger by
your example, and their endurance in
hardship by your example.
Now, as regards the first, know
ledge, remember two things: Ia
knowledge is not heaven-sent gift;
it is the outcome of study, hard work,
and thought. ca 1t is an absolRteOe-
cessity to you as an officer. 1t is the
foundation of your own character, for
without it you cannot gain self-confi-
dence. You must know your job. II
you do not you can have no confidence
in yourself, and the men can, and will,
have no confidence in you either.
knowledge is therefore the first
great essential for your capacity to
command your men. -. The men
must have confidence IN their officer.
They must feel not only that he knows
his job, but also that he will set the
example of courage. self-saerifice and
cheerfulness, and that he will look
after their welfare and comfort. 1t
was to help You to this that these
tactical schools have been started.
Now as regards the second require
ment of an officer-character =. The
character of the officer is the founda
ton of the discipline of his men. Men
can only be commanded successfully
by men. No troops ever possessed
discipline that was worth damn, that
could stand the great disfntegrating
strain of battle-who were command
ed by weak, slow, irresolute odd wom-

and of any age between 90 and So.
Don't be an ''old woman" whatever
else you may be. w.. -. .....
Discipline. -. 49,. =. i.
The creation of discipline and the
maintenance OF discipline are among
your most important duties. Your
orders, and the orders given by your
n. C. O's, must always be obeyed
without hesitation, with energy and
with cheerfulness. Never pass any

HIGH TRIBUTE
TO memory Of
DEAD OFFICERS

Modest and unassuming, devoted
to their duty and to the highest
ideals"--is the tribute that Col. Gran
ger Adams, 9Th Field Artillery, pays
to LIST Lieuts. Edwin E. Pritchett and
Harold S. Naylcr, who were killed In
an automobile accident at Fort Sill,
Oklahoma, early this month. The or
der issued by him is as follows:
ut has become the sad duty of the
commanding officer of the regiment
to announce the deaths on May Z, 1916,
of First Lieuts.. Edwin E. Pritchett
and Harold s. Ma, Tor, of the Fifth
Field Artillery.
Entering the service at about the
same time, these officers and their
families were bound by an enduring
friendship. The often expressed de-
sire of the officers to be buried to-
gether has been granted, and, save
the parting from their families, they
died together as they would have
wished
Modest and unassuming. devoted to
their duty and to- the highest ideals,
they possessed those rarer social quail
ties which endear men to their fellow
beings.
Although their service was cut
short as they were entering the prime
of life, their influence on the arm
they loved so well win remain.
ION behalf of the entire garrison
the commanding officer extends deep
est sympathy to the bereayed fam
ilies."
