Praise for the present condition OF
the National Guard Is contained IN the
letter of Mai. Gen. William G. EverSon,
rendering his resignation as chief OF
! the Militia Bureau of the War Depart
ment. The general is to leave as head
of the bureau en- November 30, going to
Denver Colo, to assume the passionate
of the First Baptist Church.
Never before was the National Guard
more thoroughly organized, equipped
and trained than 1t is today-an et-
ficient organization, worthy OF its peace
or wartime assignments" the general
wrote. This has been accomplished by
the helpful cooperation OF Congress;
the loyal support of the War Depart
ment and the Regular Army; the
patriotism of the National Guard per-
sonnet and the increased interest OF
citizens and institutions all over the
country.
Having accomplished the major mis-
| sions that challenged when this ap-
| pointment was accepted, believing 1t
unWise to initiate new and larger mill
| tary projects during this unusual sea-
son Of economic readjustment, and that

! great First Baptist Church. Denver,
| Colo, respectfully tender my resigna-
