National Guard GrOlDsng
Of Rate of j. 300 a Month

at the present time the National
Guard has an aggregate strength Of
10000 men, which is increasing at
the rate of 1900 month. In the win
ter months the increase is slow, but
just prior to the training season this
Increase is greatly augmented. By
June 80, 1924, the bureau expects 49,
600 men to be enrolled in the guard,
and by June 80, 1925, it is expected the
National Guard will number 100000
men, and in 1925 averaging 10000.
a study reveals the fact that the 1925
estimate of $3O,577,9 $40, which is al
lowed by the budget bureau, is not suf-
Hcient to provide for the training and
activities of these 100000 men during
the fiscal year Of 1926. Although only

Guard activities allowed by the budget
bureau over the 1924 appropriations,
