Members of National Guard Called to
Colors on July 18th
Expected That They Will Leave for
Training Camps in the South
in Short Time.

According to advices received
from Washington the National
Guard of the state of Wisconsin
and other northern states will
be called to the colors on July
18th and July 25th and this will
in all probability include the
members of Company B. of the
Sixth Wisconsin regiment
stationed in Washburn.
Many units in the state are
already federalized and pre-
sumably they will be modified
with the other troops from their
states. The guard will be
modified on the day of draft.
This arrangement was made
necessary to provide for the
movement of the regiments south
to their concentration camps
without congestion.
Captain Peavey of Company
B. Sixth Wisconsin Regiment is
expecting a call at any moment
to prepare for mobilization and
he says that this can be done
within short notice. Some mem
bers Of the Bayfield, County COM
pany are scattered around the
country but Captain Peavey
says he can have them here
within a few days time and that
the company will be ready to go
forward to their training camps.
While Captain Peavey is ex-
pecting a call, he does not be-
lieve that his company will be
ready to move to Camp Douglas
until the latter part of the pres
ent month owing to the equip
ment for the company not being
ready at. this time. He does not
believe that the call for the
Sixth Regiment will come before
the latter part of the present
month and probably not before
the 9Th of August.
The company has been meet
ing with good success in filling
up to war strength. Over one
hundred boys are now members
of the company, having passed
the examinations and taken the
oath. Some thirty or more were
rejected for physical reasons.
All of the members of Company
B. are anxious to see service and
are patiently waiting for the
call.
At the last meeting of the
Commercial Club a committee
was appointed to arrange for a
farewell reception for the Bay
field County boys and as soon as
word comes this committee will
busy themselves with the re-
ception.

ACTION OF TURKS WAS
EXPECTED AT CAPITAL

Washington. April 16.-The inNNn-
ment of the Scorpion has been ex-
pected here for some time and is per-
fectly in accord with the rule necessi-
tating such action for a belligerenf
@ar vessel not leaving port within
prescribed time. About two weeks ago
the navy department through the state
department cabled Ambassador Elkus
suggesting that the Scorpion leave
Turkish waters for the Black sea, but
turkey objected to this on the ground
that the sea was practically dominated
by Russia, an enemy of Turkeys al
ly, Germany. Departure through the
Dardanelles was thought impossible
and as a result a part of the crew
went through Austria into Switzer-
land before the break with the former
country.
