The Parisian. (Paris, Tenn.) 1907-1962, 1918-02-22

DR.. John D. Weldon Appointed
Captain of Local Company.
National Guard.
ORGANIZATION OF NEW
REGIMENTS COMPLETED
Enlistment OF Men Between
Ages OF 18 And II Sought
To Fill Vacancies.

The officers of Company H, Fifth
Tennessee Infantry, the local unit of
the national guard of this state, have
been appointed. They are, Captain,
John D, Weldon; 1st Lieutenant,
Archibald D. McSwain; End Lieuten-
ant, Liman B. Browning, The or
ganization is now perfected all non
commissioned officers having been
appointed and who are actively en-
gagged in rounding the company into
a soldier-like appearance. There is
still room for few more recruits
and it is hoped by the officers that
these vacancies will soon be filed
The local company, formerly known
as Co. K, has been finally designated
as Co. H in the permanent organiza-
ton of the Fifth Tennessee Regiment,
The organization of the regiment was
completed last week, and it now
stands ready for muster into federal
service Federal inspection was held
some weeks ago, at which time the
local company was recommended for
federal aid and recognition by Col
E. " Smith, federal inspecting officer
for the southeast division.
Capt Weldon is especially desirous
of enlisting men between the ages of
18 and 21 to complete the strength
of this company By enlisting in this
company men of. this age would not
discommode themselves since it is
highly probable that law will be
passed by congress at an early date
requiring all men to register for mil
itary service as the age of 21 is
reached. By such action they would
also be associating themselves with
an organization which may never be
designated for foreign service, al
though it is subject to the orders of
the President or the Secretary of
War for any service that may be
deemed necessary.
1t is not known just when the Ten
nessee National Guard will enter
federal service, or to what particular
service the units will be assigned, al
though it is almost an assured fact
that the two new regiments, the
Fourth and Fifth Infantry, will SOON
er or later be merged into the service
of the nations fighting machine. 1t
is. too, more than likely that these
organizations will be among the last
to be designated for foreign service.
Capt. Weldon can be found at his
Office on the east side at any hour of
the day, and will be pleased to ex-
plain the organization of the COM
pany to any prospective recruits; as
stated above, he is especially desirous
of securing men between the ages Of
18 and 21.
SATURDAY anu AoSSNiSNJ
evenings are the regular dates OF the
drill and formation work of the COM
pany, non-eommiasioiled officers
school being held in connection with
the Tuesday evening drill. Much
progress has been made with this
work despite the unusual weather
conditions of the first few weeks OF
the year. and since the weather per-
mits of outdoor exercises the local
unit is fast rounding into shape.
A few new faces will complete the
organization of the company and the
officers are putting forth every effort
to enlist the required number in order
that the training of the men may be
more evenly carried on.
