object of his bitter attacks, was in

emperor, whom he had just visited.

Placing on the debit side of the led
ger the national army of 100000, the
entire National Guard at war strength
and the number of war volunteers
needed on April last, to bring the
regulars up to the war strength, the
grand total was apportioned according

This gave gross quota for each
state, from which net quota was COM
puted by checking off the number Of
National Guardsmen available for fed.
eral service and the number Of men
given by the state to the regular army
since April 1.
The apportionment was made on the
/ basis Of an estimated grand total for
the United States and its possessions
Of los, 366O56 inhabitants.
This is a paper estimate, computed
from registration returns, which comes
within the law requiring distribution
OF quotas by population, but which
