THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JULY 2, 1916. Nebraska FOURTH AND FIFTH MUST FILL FIRST Army Mustering Officer Says No Use Enlisting Now for New Regiment. GUARD OFFICERS SKILLED! (Krom a Staff Correspondent.) Mobilization Camp, Lincoln, July 1. ~(Special.)—According to Captain Tupes, the U. S. army officer who has had charge of mustering in the Nebraska National Guard with other officers representing the war depart- ment, recruiting of men to fill up the regiments will go on briskly and must be pushed as fast as possible. The two regiments need men and they do not expect to stop at the six- ty-five mark. Other states have shown good progress and there 1s no reason why Nebraska should mar the record made in the days of '61 and in 1898, of which the s has always been proud. According to official authority, there is no possible chance ~—afor a third regiment to get into the service until after the other two have all the men they need. 1t is possible also that a third regiment may not be nceded at all and the men who have been busily engaged in recruit- ing for that regiment can show no greater service to the state than to turn over the men gecruited to the I'ourth and Fifth regiments. Present Officers Skilled. The impression given out that a regiment commanded by men who saw service in the Philippines would give better service and that the men be cared for better is to be com- mended if such were a fact. Most of these men, however, have not con- tinued in military experience and at present are out of touch with modern military conditions. The men who command the Fourth and Fifth regi- ments, also served in the Spanish- American war and in addition have kept in touch by service in the guard since that time. Records of the Men. Colonel Eberly saw service in the Philippines and has been connected continuously in some way or other with the government service. Colonel Paul saw service in the Sec- ond Nebraska and has since been con- tantly connected with the Nebraska wuvard like Colonel Eberly. Licutenant Colonel Baehr was a member of the First Nebraska in the Philippines and has continued in touch with military affairs. Major I. Johnson belonged to the Third United States cavalry. Major Robert G. Douglas saw serv- ice in the Philippines. Served with Funston. Captain Irvin C. Todd of Company C, Omaha, zelonged to the celebrated Twentieth Kansas commanded by General Funston. Captain Frederick A. Abbott of Blair served two enlistments in the regular army. Captain George H. Holdeman of York was captain of his company in the Philippines. Captain Herbert H. Smith of Fre- mont was a surgeon in the regular army for six years. Lieutenant Colonel Hollingsworth | ) had service in the Fhilippines. Lieutenant W. A. Ball of Omaha was in the First Nebraska in the Philippines. Lieutenant Jerome A. Lillie of Omaha, adjutant, was also in the First Nebraska. Captain Fred Thornburg was a member of the First regimental band in the Philippines. Lieutenant Kenworthy of North Platte lived in Mkico several years. Lived in Mexico. Captain A. A, Clements of Ord also lived in Mexico for some time. And so, all along the line, can be found men in these regiments qualified by experience to command men and take are of them. There is no intention on the part of those bending every energy to put the Nebraska regiments up to the standard to reflect upon other men who are mustering men into the serv- ice of the state, but what is nceded just now is a patriotic get-together spirit.
