Three of the above organizations are
recorded on the reports last week as
being below the maintenance strength
required by the Militia Bureau OF the
War Department in order to retain
Federal recognition. This is an in
crease of two over last week, but 1t Is
hoped that enlistments will show an
increase before the encampment. While
a number Of men are enlisting in the
Guard, this is the time of the year
when men usually enlist, and as new
men come in the enlistments Of others
are expiring, which keeps the general
average about stationary. The Medi.
cal Detachment of the 121st Engineers
has showed a decided increase in en-
1istrnents since command of 1t was as
sumed by Maj. George ]. Allen, regt-
mental medical officer.
The examination of enlisted men to
provide an eligible list from which Sec
ond Iiertenants of Infantry would be
selected as vaca ncies occur. which was
scheduled for this week, has been post.
poned until July S. This change, 1t
was said, was made to conform with
the examination date for examinations
for promotion of secoEl to first lieu
tenants, so that the two may be con-
Quoted simultaneously.
