week or ten days later they will go to
Deming, n. NJ, for further training.
Deming is town of some 1000 popula-
ton about thirty miles from the Mexi-
can border
The formal order calling out the
guard July Is was received by General
Logan yesterday. 1t calls out all of the
organizations not now in the federal
service. Batteries A, Of Clinton, B of
Davenport and c, of Muscatine, are
already in service and are training
other troops stationed at, Fort
Root, Ark. Company A, engineers, is
nov on duty at Camp Dodge. A few
other companies are doing guard duty.
The organizations specified in the
order received yesterday are the fol-
lowing. First Brigade headquarters,
Cedar Rapids; Second regiment infan-
try, Webster City; third regiment in
fantry, Boone, first squadron cavalry,
Oxford; batteries D of Davenport, of
Cedar Rapids and F, Of ;Des Moines.
Company G, signal corps. Ottumwa;
ambulance company, No. 1, Sioux City;
ambulance company No. 2, Waterloo;
field hospital company No. l, Des
Moines; field hospital company, No. 2
Sioux City.
Altho equipment was ordered by Adj
jutant General Logan more than three
months ago much of it has not yet been
delivered. It is believed however that
equipment will be provided before the
men leave for the south.
The orders calling the recruits out
for training at their home stations July
were given by Governor Harding and
were not federal orders. Under the or
ders received yesterday however. all
guardsmen not now in federal service
will be called to the service Sunday.
There are now some S,271 men, in
Guiding officers, in the Iowa National
Guard
Aliens Status in Doubt.
Another problem which is Of con-
siderable interest, to the guardsmen is
what will happen&o Brig. Gem Hubert
A. Allen. of Cedar Rapids. The order
sent out by President Wilson did not
provide for the drafting into federal
ranks Of officers Of higher grade than
colonel.
If the entire Iowa brigade is ordered
to Deming, under. ordinary circum-
stances Allen would also be assigned to
command it. The proclamation Of the
president provides, however. that the
milittamen automatically terminate
their services as militia when they are
drafted into the federal service, This
might leave ALLEN high and dry with
a perfectly good state commission and
no troops to command.
This also might be the case if the
iowa brigade units were assigned to
different points.
AS the result of conference of
Senator Kenyon with The war depart
ment officials General Allen is assured
of commission. it is reported from
Washington, however. The department
stoned as brigadier general, it is re-
ported.
Up to Required Strength.
All of the Iowa organizations have
been ordered out with the exception of
the, quartermaster's corps, of which
George r. Logan, of Des MoineA is
major. This unit will also probably be
ordered into service soon.
The Iowa guard is ready for the call
SO far as numbers are concerned, but
is still short Of equipment. General
Logan believes that the government
will make provisions to remedy this
shortage before the men are sent south.
or Immediately after they arrive there.
