NEW RULINGS
IN THE MILITIA
Every Man Subject To Call In
Wartime

Every able-bodied male citizen
of the United States between the
ages of IS and as is held liable for
service in the National Guard in
war time, without further act OF
Congress, by War Department reg
ulations for the government OF the
guard issued under the National
Defense Act. In a circular pre-
pared nearly two months ago, but
made public only Friday, the
Militia Bureau directs that where
National Guard regiment is call
ed out for war service, reserve
training battalion to fill vacancies
out of the National Guard reserve
and by voluntary enlistment.
"If for any reason the order
continues, "there shall not be
enough reservists or enough vol
untarv enlistments to organize or
to keep the reserve battalions at
prescribed strength, a sufficient
number of the unorganized militia
shall be drafted by the President
to maintain such battalion or other
lesser reserve unit at the prescrlp-
ed strength"
The language follows closely
that of the National Defense ACT
in which the unorganized militia
is defined as including every able,
bodied male citizen within the pre-
scribed age limit or those who nave
declared their intention of becom
ing citizens.
The National Guard regulations
which will be amplified in grea
detail later, also strike at the prop
lem Of dependent families OF sol
diers which has cost the govern
ment several millions of dollar
already through the ordered me
bilazation. Recruiting officers 10
