Uncle Sam is deeply concerned at the
constant flow OF designations being sent
in by officers of the National Guard
units which were called into service on
June 10. The first month passed off
without many. but within the past three
months about 500 designations have
been accepted by President Wilson. and
mnny more are to be acted upon. 1t
Is reliably stated that the designations
have averaged eight n day for three
months.
In the past three months twelve Of

Will. bring On FIGHT
FOR CONTINENTAL. ARMY
The heavy list of designations, as
well as the inability OF National Guard
units to secure recruits. is expected TO
bring on another fight In Congress by
those who favor another form OF
secondary defense for the country.
Military men look for II revival of the
continental army plan. which was frIs-
trated at the last session OF Congress,
or for some scheme leading up to uni
vcrsal military training.
Virginia has not suffered as much
through designations of officers as New
York. Alabama, Pennsylvania. Illinois
and California. lts troops, also, went
into the field much better prepared
than did those OF other States. The
equipment held before the mobilizn-
ton WAS generally good. ana new sup
plies were quickly distributed. Even
the First and Second Infantry went to
the border In far better shape than
many regiments sent months later.
Recruiting, however for the rcpi-
mcnts on the border has been far below
what had been expected. After the
first furry caused by the mobilizat ion.
recruits were scarce. About 100, how
ever Went forward at various times.
Virginia now has nearly 3.00G men In
