Rebuilding Old Guard.
The National Guard is calling for

that will perpetuate the splendid ira

CARNATIONS in the National Guard
which have records that are rich in
action and accomplishment, and 4egi-

In wars back as far as the American
revolution. In the World wa. 1t fur
nished u combat divisions-nearly
100000 officers and men.
There is no conflict of recruiting in
terests between these two establish
ments. The Second division will draw
5000 men who have no home or BUSH
ness responsibilities to prevent their
giving themselves entirely to the serv-
ice of the country. The National
Guard should enlist men whose re-
sponsihilitles viii not permit them to
sever home ties entirely, hut who can
spare sufficient time to join a local
military organization.

donal Guard provides solution for
this problem. and /, is the only exist

factory solution. In doing this the
guard is not furnishing a substitute
for the Second division; it operates
in different field.
The main purpose of the National
Guard is to teach part of the rules

carry men part way along the stand
