BOYS LEAVE TOMORROW PRAISING YIRGINIANs
Brownsville Paper Says Sight Of
First and Second Regiments Would
Cause Wood to Change Views

National Guard organizations have
one strong defender in the Browns
Vile Daily Sentinel, whose staff has
had an opportunity to see quite lot
of the work done during the past siX
months by the mintiamen. In a re-
cent editorial, the Daily Sentinel de-
fcnds the guardsmen and cites the
two Virginia regiments of Infantry
as an example of what could be en-
pected of the troops so severely crltl-
zed Ly tIaior General Leonard Wood
The Virginans, according to the
article, had Just finished a four-hour
hike with never man tagging and
the ambuiances empty. After witness
ing these men finish their hard task.
it continues, General Wood would
have revised his opinion that 1t would
be a tragedy to send them against
arv foe. The article follows:
Had General Leonard Wood been
privileged to stand on street cor
ncr yesterday noon and witness the
two Virginia National Guard regl-
ments, with snapp. step, make the
turn on the last lap Of a four-hour
hike. he would have perhaps revised
his harsh criticism CT the State troops
No one could see the men, with heads
erect and firm tread and in perfect
ranks complete the halliday maneuv-
cr, with never man tagging and
with the ambu!ances empty CT meE
unable to complete the march, and
still believe it would be a tragedy to
send the Virginians against any fee
which might best this country. We
say, General Wood perhaps could
bring himself to revise his statements
but probably that is expecting too
much, for General Wood is welded to
his ideals, and his scat among the
mighty depends upan the prevalence
CT his IDEAS in regard to the National
Guard.
Things look different when view
ed from different angles. There is Il
vast difference in the National Guard
when viewed from the covered set
tees of Washington to the view pre-
senting itself from the canvas camp
stools along the Rio Grande. If bu-
reaucratic Washington, after wit
messing the National Guard along the
Rio Grande for six months, can main
tain the opinion that they are unfit
to meet any foe which struggles from
looted city to looted city across the
border. it has a poor opinion of the
stamina Of American manhood. There
has been sufficient pure de foolish
ness spilled in the halls OF Congress
on the preparedness question tc float
a DreadnouGht BY advocates pro ard
con, but unfortunately the oratory
has emanated from men who have no;
been within 1000 miles of the trench
es and have absorbed their ideas
from musty records submitted by
men whose knowledge could be i'm
proved by rubbing their pantaloons
against Pullman-car berths and
coming to the border"
