Orders were issued by Captain
Reginald Colley, commanding Com
pany B, First North Dakota, requiring
all members to report for duty at the
Company B armory during Sunday.
Similar orders were issued by com
manders of seven other companies II
the state, and to the hospital field

been in the service for some time.
Orders to Captain Colley, issued by
Adjutant General Angus Fraser, were
received in Fargo Friday afternoon

boys to the colors, and follows:

10 Company B members out Of the
city, telegraph orders We're sent TINS
morning.
INTENSIVE DRILLING
WILL BEGIN MONDAY.
Monday morning Company B will
begin intensive drilling work, pre-
liminary to the departure of the
guardsmen for Fort Lincoln, Bis
Ynarck, where it is understood the
regiment will be mobilized in about
two weeks, and where the troops
win remain until their departure for
Denning, New Mexico, officially des-
ignated by the war department as
the concentration and training point
for the state regiment.
There the task of training the
guardsmen prior to their dispatch to
Europe will take place, and war de-
partment estimates indicate that the
North Dakota troops may be IN
France before the snow flies.
FIFTY MORE MEMBERS
REQUIRED BY CO. 3.
Company B has about 100 mem
bers at the present time. Fifty more
are required. An active campaign to
bring that number OF men INTO the
company will be conducted from the
time the company answers the call
tomorrow, to the time it departs
for the point of mobilization.
The recruiting has been more ac-
tive since the presidents proclama-
tion calling troops into the service.
A great many young men who
have been anxious to enter the mill
tary service have, up to this time,
enlisted in the other branches Of the
service, because Of the seeming cer-
tainty of a more definite policy.
Now, however, with the guardsmen
iust about to enter the federal SER
vice, indications are that the guards
will be recruiting as rapidly as the
other branches.
tEbE a0tt
BUSINESS IMMEDIATELY.
When guardsmen enter the feder-
al service Sunday, they must retire
from private employment immedi-
ately. The war department gave
notice six or eight weeks ago to the
effect that July is would mark the
entrance of the guards into federal
service, such early notice being giy-
en- SO that the men could properly |
arrange their business affairs.
PERMITTED TO SLEEP
AT THEIR OWN HOMES.
The boys will be expected to re-
port at company stations every day /
for drill and other duties, but those |
who reside in town may sleep at |
home, a very convenient arrange
meht, inasmuch as there are not 4
sufficient blankets to bunk all Of the
guardsmen in their armories.
