ceived from the Secretary OF War a
letter formally designating the End
Mimi. f. A., for service as a unit and
granting the members thereof defer
red classification in the Selective
Draft. Also, the letter outlines our
obligations to the Federal Govern
ment and to the State Of Minnesota,
under our dual oath as Federal Ma
tional Guard. IL further states that IL
IS not at present contemplated to call
the regiment into the service of the
United States; and concludes with the
Following request: please advise me
whether this solution OF the situation
meets with your approval" The
above summarized our present status.
III. OF course, the action of the
secretary of War in designating" the
regiment, and thus relieving the mem
bers from Selective Draft is agree
able, even IL a little late to fully ac-
complish the desired purpose
namelya the maintaining of the regi-
ment intact in order that 1t may go
into service as a unit; but we can
not continue in the present state of
uncertainty as to the time we will be
called. In justice to the members Of
this regiment, who volunteered for
war service, and in justice to the
communities which organized their
units as their patriotic contribution to
the fghting man power of this war,
the matter must be settled definitely.
III. 1t has, therefore, been decided
to request the Governor to appeal to
the President to issue an order draft
ing this regiment into the Federal
Service on a specified date, and, in
event this request is not granted,
will be asked to muster the
regiment out of the service, in order
that it's individual members may seek
service wherever they may choose.
Action along these lines will be taken
at once and we expect a definite
status by April LIST.

the resolution, and Speaker Whittet

Assemblyman John F. Buckley as
serted that there was q conspiracy
to prevent a vote, and asserted that
the whole business had become a

as they have done for week.
Five members are absent on leave,
leaving nineteen absent without leave
from whom the attendance must be

some Of these are La Toilette men
and he said it Is impossible to reach
others. He was confident, he said,
that the loyalists could not attain the

to the kaiser.
