report by Mai. Gen. Stephan, who adj
vocated the establishment of a perma-

such q structure, it was realized that
influential support will go much fur

a suitable building for the local militia
is pressure upon members of Congress

The troops coz posing the local Ma
tional Guard, it was learned, were sud-
denly called out about 10 days ago on

man available was required to present
himself for muster, and the word went
around in civilian circles that the Guard
had been called to the "colorS." The
theoretical secrecy which was supposed
to have surrounded the movement ex-
listed only in military circles, for about
every civilian who has any contact with
the Guard knew about it as quickly as
the enlisted personnel did. The mobili-
