Enlistments of late have been some what more rapid thnn ordinarily. This In thought to be due In large measure to the apparent prospect of war with the little brown men sooner or later. Taken as a body, members of the Kuurd are of the opinion thut there may be a clashing of arms at no very distant dale. Drills are held at the armory every night In the week ex oept Saturday, and "war talk" Is In-j flulged In on every occasion when the! men come together. There was on December St a totnl of H36 members of the National Ounrrt In the state, nil but elKht of whom, comprising the staff corps and departments, would be subject to field duty Instantly on call. This puts the guard In better condition, perhnps, than nt any other time In Its history. So fur as the latest recruits, those who have enlisted because of the outlook of wnr being strong In their own per sonal opinion, double the number of drills required by tho regulations are being held, and it will not be long ere they will form harmonious factors In the various company fighting machines. night when Pendleton high comes on J.e floor with a past record that I tlatteiing.
