BUFFALO BILL

Since the first of the year the Regu-
lar Service has received quite few
members of the Maine National
Guard. Although it means more
work to the organizations of the Ma
tional Guard from the fact that new
men have to be obtained to take the
places of those who have joined the
Regular Service, the Maine National
Guard wishes to cooperate with the
L. S. Recruiting officers. A COM
manding officer of an organization of
this State said that whenever an en-
listed man of his command applied
for a discharge i'll order to enlist in
some branch OF the Regular Service,
he Ghe commanding Officer) regard
ed it as Il compliment to himself and
his officers because of the fact that
his company has presented the SER
vice in such way that the applicant
was DESTROYS of closer association
with the service by taking on" with
the Regulars. To assist in the Ma
tional defense is the spirit of the
Maine National Guard.
