The startling unpreparedness of the National Guard of the Southwest i > to guard the border while the regu 1 lar troops are in Mexico, makes more than one editor ask how much better * or worse conditions are in other States. Some think the revelation j a Kloaoinor in rifaomiaA. BH flhfiwinff the I need of compulsory military train- j x ing. Ten days affcer President Wil' son's call, press dispatches relate, the " mobilization and assignment of the > Guardsmen were for from complete. r The Texas companies responded I " promptly, but in the other two \ > States the response was not as speedy i as Washington officials expected. In cidentally, 116 Texans refused to muster and are to be tried by court ? martial, altho, as a Washington cor- j 1 respondent of the New York Tribune i informs us, 'under the existing law the Government can do no more than fine them, after which they are exempt from Federal service." In all ' three Stafes many companies are be[ low their proper strength, and in- ( t stead of the 3,500 men the War De- < 1 partment had counted on for. border j patrol it does not expect to secure < 1 more than 3,000. A Washington ] - correspondent of the Philadelphia In- 1 i quiirer says that the chief effect of the militia's failure to meet the emergency will be to afford a new basis for the attack in Congress on the'Na- < , tional Guard. But spokesmen for I ^ the Guard, he tells us further, point I out that the Government called upon the organizations in poorest shape, 1 and claim if the call had gone forth to the Eastern States there would < have been a different result. This < , informant cites as instances of "fail- ' e ure," first, that fourteen men in one I company asked their discharge when called, because 'their families are in ., destitute circumstances," and three < e companies and the band of the New ( i Mexico National Guard regiment re- * quested that the regulations be set aside "because 25 per cent of their - niimhpr w?r not sneak Enarlish." The ''serious side" of the situation, as f War Department officials see it, we are told, is that if they don't make over the regulations to suit the miliatiamen, political influence will be ^ brought to bear, and this would be a "blow tr? discipline." ,t The Chicago Tribune observes: e "The New Mexican National Guard " was not listed among the even fairly efficient State organizations, but r when it was found turning out at I the President's orders in derby hats i P and with feather beds for officers, the -M i.L. . springing to arms nau some ui ,ui? aspects of a finny fall down-stairs r into a rain-barrel. 8 "Other States wouid spring to ' arms without derby hats and feather < 1 beds, but a practical demonstration ] of what the Guard regiments would < p lack merely in equipment probably will not be had until a war puts the r test of greatest need upon the organi* zation < "Three State Guard organizations ; Will be put to the test of border-duty, and it will be the best thing that eyer happened in their existence. ' The t sad thing is that the whole organization the country over needs it and i j will not get it." ' Some statements, in disparagement 1 | of the National Guard, remarks the ? Jacksonville Florida . Times Union, that }t Vina nlraai^T ] lUCi CIJ OiiV Tf MAUV IV IftMW I "reached the efficiency of the regu- 1 . lar Army."1f it took ten days for the 1 militia to mobilize, we are reminded J that it was six days after the raid on 1 . Columbus, N. M., before the Army I of the United States crossed the bori der. Moreover, in the latter case I "immediate action" was imperative, < ) and "every day's delay added to the < , probability that the expedition would I I fail of its purpose, as it has failed;" . and this journal adds: "There is no such occasion for haste in the assembling of the State troops of New Mexico and Arizona. Under the circumstances their ten 1 days' delay is not as important as ' i j was the six days' delay of the regu- < lar Army. ? , "The troops of the three States I are said to be 500 short of their pa; per strength. This is about seven per cent short. The United States was . supposed to have an army of 100,000 < , men, but when thirty or thirty-five < thousand were assembled in Mexico t or along the border it was said to be ] all in. It seems to have been about I seventy per cent, short, or, making > allowance for troops not in the Uni ited States, it proved to be very much more'than seven per cent, short." { zmarafiiizraranijiijzraiun i I \ Men i have a larg< 1 Gun Meta Ladies' Oxfords front COME TO I .
