MObIllzatIon Report UnfaIr


 Generals ORyan and Stotesbury declared the report on the Nationa 1 Guard mobilization prepared by tho militia bureau was unfair. They dis claimed any thought that army of fcials had issued 1t 10 discredit and break down the Guarl. General iO'Ryan said the action was due tc "ccnscrvative prejudice and ignor lance of real conditions"
 "The National Guard was treated by the war department as a volwn lteer force not under the scheme con. ,tempGtcd in the national defense act" said General Stotesbury.
 Beth general3 said the greatest | difficulty was that under department regulations the government equip. mcnt was not on hand in the mus. tering places.
 While war department regula- t!ons may have been to blame to tsOmc extent" Senator Chamberlain |intericctcd, Congress also was to blame, for recommendations of the department for this equipment had been repeatedly rejected"
 Lays Blame On People
 That is truc, said General Stotes- bury, and I'll go further than that The people were to blame. They did not approve proper preparation"
 General ORyan told the commit. tee that the l9,OOO men of the New York division had been mobilzed within less than twenty hours, com plete as tO numbers and all equip ment they were expected to furnish.
 Delay was caused, he said, by the process of mastering, ruled by the war department to be on the basis of volunteers, and by physical exam nations of l9,OOO men by only two medical officers.
 "The report shows" he added, that there was no shortage of men or in our division Some com panies were at war strength"
 As to the condition of other Ma tional Guard regiments, General O'Ryan said he had changed his !. previous view that the New York troops would be shown 10 be much superior, The third Tennessee regi- ment and some of the Indiana and troops, inc declared, were line. efficient organizations.
