ONE HALF OF OHIO
TROOPS UNEQUIPPED
Strength Of the Guard $4,000,
According TO Wood.

Columbus, July 17.-Tabulations by
Adjutant General Wood for the pur-
pose of making requisition to the CEN
tral department, Chicago, for equip
ment and supplies showed the Ohio
national guards strength as nearly
$4,000, so that 5000 odd men would
fill 1t to war strength.
II guard recruiting continues few
weeks as briskly as it has for several
months, Ohio will have a full war
strength division without much filing
up by conscripted men.
According to Woods figures, 2o,19S
officers and men modified Sunday.
Units that did not muster out, but re-
manned in federal service last winter
have 1920 to $500 officers and men.
Troops at their home stations
throughout Ohio were marking time
pending arrival of federal mastering
officers.
Colonel John A. Penn Of the regular
army, chief mastering officer, arrived
here today. Ten officers of the Third
infantry, Dayton, whose men have
been on duty guarding bridges, water
works, factories and the like, have
been detailed to aid Colonel Penn.
While equipment Of every kind has
been promised, officers are rather pes
simistic in their expressions as to
how soon it may be available. How
badly It is needed is illustrated by the
remark of one quartermaster officer.
