After or- dering Captain Ralph McMillen to se- cure a force of forty-five aviators from the Guard for aviation instruc- tion and the captain has secured them and waiting for orders, now it looks as ' if there would be nothing doing and the boys will have to be sent back to their respective companies. It is this same haphazard manner in-which the War department has condtcted things that has been instrumental in keeping back enlistments. \ The Fourth regiment might have been in camp yet had not the authori- ties here notified the War departient that if they continued their dilatory tactics nien would be deserting by hundreds in disgust.
