No Equipment for Recruits
Ohio Regiments Ordered to
Halt Eniistments

Columbus, Ohio, April THE reve-
lation that the United States is in
relatively the same state of prepared
ness for war with Germany, after two
years of warning, as she was for the
war with Spain has proved a painful
shock to National Guard officers here.
Orders from Adjutant General Helm
stand, of the central department of the
army at Chicago, to the commanders of
the Sd and 9th regiments, on guard
duty in this state, to cease recruiting
because there is no quartermaster's
supplv or equipment available have ex-
cited considerable indignation.
when will the Federal government
be able to equip an army Of 100000
men, as suggested by President Wilson,
if it is so lacking in equipment that it
cannot supply the few recruits who
are now offering themselves" is the
question asked throughout the Guard.
