PICKING ENLISTED MEN
FOR OFFICERS TRAINING
Candidates From National Guard
Not to Report Before
May go.

Enlisted men of the National Guard
who are to attend officers training
camps will not be ordered to camp be-
fore May 20. Delay in designating
men has caused the postponement,
which allows regimental commanders
to make better selections in picking
out twenty-five enlisted guardsmen
who will be sent from each regiment
The camps will not be open to OFF,
GERS of the National Guard. as the Sec
retary of War has ruled they are need
ed with their regiments. This does not
apply, however, to such National Guard
officers as may be assigned as in
structors.
The War Department urges that the
most capable commissioned officers
of the guard be among those selected to
attend the camps.
Under this policy of educating a GER
tain number of enlisted men of the
National Guard for appointment as Of
ficers in the reserve corps the allot-
ment of the National Guard of the Dis
trict will be as follows: From the Sd
Regiment of infantry. twenty-five en-
listed men; from the 1st Separate Bat
TALON, two men from each company;
from the cavalry, two from each
troop, and from the artillery. two from
each battery. These men will be sent
