Governor Stuart Calls Six Companies
Of Old Dominion Into Service After
Orders From Washington.

Prompt steps to protect all prop
erty of military or strategic lmpor-
tance in Virginia were taken by
Governor Henry c. Stuart yesterday
afternoon, on receipt of information
from Washington that the Second
Virginia Infantry had been recalled
into Federal service. Six companies
of the National Guard of Virginia
were ordered on duty pending the
mobilization of the regiment, which
is scattered in twelve cities and
towns.
Armed guards were thrown around
Richmond and other cities before
dark last night, and will be continued
until the present war crisis is over.
The State forces are now on duty,
but will probably be relieved as soon
as the Second Infantry can be MUS
tered into the Federal service. State,
government and municipal property
is being closely guarded, while pri-
vate plants engaged in the manufac-
ture of munitions or shipbuilding, as
we'll as railroad bridges and tunnels,
have been placed under surveillance.
Of the six companies orGered on
duty, five are located in Richmond
and one in Newport News. The
Richmond Gray's Battalion, First In
fantry, commanded by Major ]. Full
mer Bright, and Company A Engi-
neer Corps, are on duty in Richmond,
while Company C, Fourth Infantry,
is guarding the big shiphuilding plant
at Newport News. The guardsmen
are armed with the regulation rifles
and ball cartridges.
Virginia is one of the most import
ant States, strategicaliy, in the East.
and will be rigidly guarded by the
Federalized and State troops. In this
State are located important ship
building plants, dry docks, navy
yards and munition works. All must
be protected from attack from foes
within the country, while the import
ant harbors are being guarded
against attack by submarine or other
naval agencies operating from with
out.
Three big factories in Richmond are
of Importance from military stand
point. and guards have been supplied
the American Locomotive Company,
Tredegar Company and Richmond
Forgings Corporation, all engaged in
the manufacture of munitions. The
various railroad bridges are being
guarded from destruction, and the
principal utilities are being carefully
watched. Guards last night were
placed over the State Capitol and
other public buildings, including the
local armories, where supplies Of
military equipments are stored. The
Du Pont plant at Hopewei! is now
strongly guarded by private police
force, and the same precautions have
been taken elsewhere. particularly
by the railroads, which must keep
thei: bridges and tunnels safe. Fede-
raj property has been guarded for
some time by Secret Service men,
but greater precautions are being
taken to safeguard the buildings here
and in other large cities.
