STATE MILITIA IS NOT NEEDED NOW No Likelihood That it Will Be Called Out for Duty (Speclal to the Herald ) Washington, March —There no immediate likelihood that the mi- is litia of Connecticut and other states will be called upon to serve in Mex- ico, according to information received today by Representative Tilson of Con- necticut from Gen. Hugh T. Scott, chief of staff of the army. Mr. Til- son had reports from Con- necticut to the effect that the militia will be called upon to assist in the capture of Villa and his bandits, but upon inquiring at the war department he was told that this is not proposed at present. If the war department should de- cide that militia are necessary to help pursue Villa or to guard the Mexican border while all the available regular troops are sent into Mexico, it is thought not unlikely that Connecticut national guardsmen may be called upon. They are said to be obliged to serve on such duty if called upon by the governor and the war depart- ment or the pgesident. There 3,900 of them, all trained in militar duties to a greater or less extent James M.
