BAN FRANCISCO, June 19. The stir
ring. episodes which occurred In 1898,
when volunteers were called for then
Bpanlsh-American war, were re-enacted
today along the length of the Pacific
Coast, following orders received from
Washington for mobilization of the Na
tional Guard for duty on the Mexican
border.
Every armory was the. center of ac
tivity, as the men began to answer the
mmmona early today. Guardsmen went
fit their work of preparation with en
thusiasm and practically all organiza
tions have announced their units will
be ready to entrain within three days
at the latest. The majority reported
48 hours as sufficient. The quota of
men furnished by the states of Califor
nia, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and
Montana is approximately 9000.
California will have at least 4000 men
fully equipped and ready to move to
Eacramento, the state mobilization
point, whenever the order comes. Troop

ington is expected to be recruited to
full strength before it pulls out of its
armory. The same applies to the Idaho
National Guard.
While -Nevada has no National Guard
or State Militia organlzalon. Governor
Emmet D. Boyle immediately set in
motion the machinery to organize the
National Guard and bring it up to its
full peace strength of 600 men. It is
expected that this can be done within
SO days.
Colorado's Guardsmen rapidly were
rounding into shape and the process
of mobilization moved rapidly. Recruit
ing is being vigorously puhed.
The 600 members of the Utah Na
tional Guard underwent a physical ex
amination today. The several units will
be ready within a few days.

Without the careful preparation for
every detail of the mobilization made
long beforehand by the-Adjutant-General
and his staff, and the officers of
all commands, It would not be possible.
Minimum Strength Required. -
No commands will -move to Clacka
mas until they are recruited up to the
full required minimum strength of 65
enlisted men to each Infantry com
pany, 75 men for the cavalry troop, and
133 men in the battery of field artillery.
Getting recruits, though, has been
one of the minor problems of mobiliza
tion. Reports to the Adjutant-General
showed the men were applying for en
listment throughout the state faster
than the surgeons could examine them.
This physical examination is as severe
as that required for enlistment in the
regular Army.
To pass It a man must be In just
about perfect physical condition. If
there is any question of fitness the ap
plicant is rejected.
For the past two years the Oregon
National Guard physical requirements
have been kept to this high standard.
Recognizing this fact, the War-Department
will not require a second physical
examination when the men are later
mustered into the Federal service at
Clackamas.
Guard Tests Aceepted.
First reports had been to the effect
that an additional examination would
be required. The full text of the War
Department order accepts men who
have passed the regular Oregon Na
tional Guard physical tests.
At 8 o'clock last night, less than 24
hours after General White's formal
mobilization order went out over the
wires, only two commands in the state
were unable to report that they- were
either recruited to full strength or so
nearly so and otherwise prepared that
they could move to Clackamas on a
few hours' notice.
They were Company K of Corvallls
and Company L of Dallas, both of the
Third Infantry.
All -the . other commands reported
themselves as virtually ready to move.
General White at once authorized Colo
nel Clenard McLaughlin, commanding
the Third Infantry, to issue orders to
these commands to leave the Second
Lieutenant of each company at the
home station as a recruiting officer
to enli.st and send recruits on to
Clackamas. .
War Strength Permitted.
Recruits will be accepted up to near
ly the 'full war strength of 150 men for
each company of Infantry.
Except for sanitary and supply de
tachments that will go earlier, the main
troop movement- from Portland will
start at 2 o'clock. Some of the up-state
commands will leave their home quar
ters in the morning.
Captain Francis L. Michelbook. Com
pany A, McMlnnville. reported that his
company had 60 men present for duty
and would have 70 enlisted by this
morning. The company moves today if
property inventories are completed - in
time: otherwise, tomorrow.
Captain Lowell E. Blanchard, Com
pany G, Oregon City, reported that he
had passed the minimum strength re
quirements, and added enthusiastically
that he would have 100 men by this
morning. This company will move to
Clackamas today. .
Captain Max. Gehlhar, Company M
of Salem, has the largest Infantry com
pany in the state. He reported that he
had 116 men already under arms at
the Salem Armory, and that he could
hav 150 when orders came to move.
Company M. also will go to Clackamas
today:
Woodburn Company Ready.
Captain Grover Todd. Company I
Woodburn, reported that he had more
than the minimum requirement of 65
men. and expected to move with 80 to
100 men. His company probably will
not move to Clackamas today, but It
will go there tomorrow.
Captains Charles A. Murphy and Con
rad F. Stafrin, commanding Companies
K. of Corvallls, and L, of Dallas, re
spectively, hoped to be ready to move
to Clackamas by Wednesday. - a
All the Portland companies, B. C, D,
frbm the pursuits of civil J" , . r.. - ifV-. V JTUy f " I
E, F and . H. of . the Third Infantry;
Battery A. Field Artillery, and Troop A,
Cavalry, are virtually ready to take the
train for Clackamas.
Companies B and C, Captains W. F.
Daugherty and Daniel E. Bowman, re
spectively, and Troop A, First Lieuten
ant Cicero F. Hogan commanding, are
certain to go to Clackamas today. In
all probability the other companies will
also move today.
Battery A, Captain Charles w. Helms,
had brought up Its enlisted strength to
more than the required 133 men last
night.
Recrnlts Swarm to Cavalry.
Troop A had 78 men enrolled Sunday
night, when the first mobilization order
was Issued.
Yesterday afternoon It had been re
cruited to lt maximum strength of
100 men. Recruits literally fell over
each other to get into the cavalry
troop. Several of the new men en
listed were later rejected by the Ad
jutant-General's office for various rea
sons, the records showing among oth
ers that some had been dropped from
other National Guard organizations for
having deserted.
So many men were waiting to fill
these vacancies, however, that the
troop was again recruited to ite maxi
mum strength last night.
If it were needed a second full cav
alry troop could be recruited In a
couple of days.
Few delays are exDected In movlnor
the men to Clackamas. Full arrange
ments were made with the Southern
Pacific yesterday to furnish trooD
trains for the movement. It was prom
ised that no companies would have to
wait for cars when they were readv to
entrain.
