and the men OF the organization meet |
Ing every test The federal represen
tative expressed himself as very much
pleased with the men Ders Of the new
unit who, ne said, show both superior
physical stamina and mental capacity.
IL should, he declares, become crack
organization.
The inspection began with thor
ough check of the enlistment and other
papers connected with the troop and
ended In the evening when the men
stood up to be mustered and tn undergo
such physical and mental tests as are
demanded by the war department No
weaknesses developed, Major ). ID.
SwOpe, who made the physical eXaml-
nations, having done his work in n
most thorough way. The inspector was
especially pleased with the equipment
and condition Of the armOry. Having
been the federal representative In
three southwestern states, he had no
hesitancy in saying that Colorado,
Arizona and the other cities Of New
Mexico could show nothing approach
ing the Deming furnishings. THE
Deming troop certainly ought to he
proud. of its home" he said.
Following the Inspection the colonel
gave the troop members their first in
struction in the cavalry drill regula-
tionS forming the troop and demon
Strating the basic platoon movements
which the members found very easy To
learn. A dance followed which the
younger set of Deming enjoyed very
much
IL will probably be three weeks,
the inspector said, before the official
recognition will be extended by the war
department, but this recognition VIII
date from the day of inspection.
Meanwhile uniforms, horses, arms ana
other equipment worth $4,000 viii he
reuuisitioned The first drill Is set
for next Friday night at I 80 o'clock.
All members are urged To bc present In
order that the attendance shall not he
lower than sixty per cent and the
troop fail to get pay for the drill. This,
according to Col. Boniface, is the great
danger i'm the southwest where the
trooo members are scattered and IL
takes more than the ordinary effort
to be present. The troop also has inn
portant plans to make for its club at
the armury, social and athletic Organi-
IN tions. these beipg important features
of the national guard work.
