"They are mustering in the Guard." Four times within the memory of liv ing men these tidings hare sped from lip to lip throughout Pennsylvania. Four times, while men's Hps have read this terse message, men's hearts aave sensed a stronger tension and men's pulses have known a Quickening beat. For men know that the simple an nouncement of this shifting of Guard control from State to Federal hands can have but oue Interpretation the close approach ot a great national crisis. Onj almost a lifetime ago Me tidings presaged the storm and fury of civil strife into which marched gaily the youthful chivalry of Pennsylvania's militia, to emerge, four years later, stern and masterful conquerors. A second time the message forecast ed the clash of arms which broke the (altering grip of an old-world empire upon an unwilling new-world colony. And again file upon file of Pennsylva nia youth waa seen on It way to take up the cause of an oppressed people. Once again and this time so recent that echoes of the measured tramp are hardly stilled the mustering-in meant a long jaunt to the far southwest, where the bright face of danger peer ed over the border. Today "They are mustering-ln the Guard." Well may the heart-tension tighten and the pulsea leap more responsive than ever to this speeding message. For never before has It been the fore runner of a national peril of such sin ister portent. War's Weird 8hadow. Less than three years ago peace loving Americans paused In their placid progress to turn a startled eye toward a fearsome spectre, which, suddenly rearing '.tself In centra. Europe, stalked rapidly over teeming and prosperous lands, Imprinting death and blight with every ghastly footstep. It was and is an uncanny monster of blood, fire and steel, reflecting in Its hideous outline the hatred and ven om of its creators toward all mankin i who do not accept the idea of national existence to which they have dedicated themselves. It is muscled with human flesh and guided by human intelligence on a career of surpassing deviltry. To the safe spectator on America's distant shore came first only a feeling of loathing for this unclean creature and Its masters. It seemed unbeliev able that a monstrosity so foul and malevolent could spring to life in this enlightened day. Americans viewing its re vol tin i progress with horrified eyes, did so with only the Impersonal interest of unconcerned onlookers. Danger to their own free land and free institu tions from the dlsportlngs of this monstrous thing appeared too remote to be given any consideration. Its bloody wallowings so riveted the eye that for a time the grim purpose animating its ruthless onslaughts was entirely uncomprehended. It was not until Belgium had been shattered almost beyond hope of res toration and illberty-Iovlng France had been brought face-to-face with virtual annihilation, that America grasped tne true significance of the demon machine and its workings. 8hall Liberty Vanish? And who can doubt, today, that this significance is, in all probability, the obliteration of the liberal institutions to which free peoples are committed. Should this machine prevail liberty, as we know it, must, in tlme,vanlsh from the face of the earth. The nation stands today at a cross road of destiny and the path to the goal of security looms up rugged. Al ready it Is resounding to the tread of armed men. The regular army is on the move and now the call has gone out for the country's second line of defense the National Guard. Pennsylvania once more is calling her aoyal sons. It Is a time of stir and bustle and furbishing of sword and gun and bayonet from the banks of the Delaware to the shores of Lake Erie. Armories are ringing to the clang of weapons and stalwart young figures, there, are seen tugging at strap anil buckle in the bundling of accoutre- mMore than usual, there Is noted the nrovnlpnra nf militarv uniforms in We street crowds. And the walls are everywhere proclaiming me neeo. oi filling up gaps In the various arms of The Guard Is pufllng Itself together for another sally to the "front." There Is every Indication that Its departure on this occasion will be more inspir ing than ever as a display of a great State's military power. The country is proud of its regular fighting men but, after all, the home sentiment olings more fondly to the fighting men of the Guard. Pride In the regular army units is lmpersona. because thoy are recruited from the country-atlarge. ...,. Dut with the Guard it is different When a Guard regiment musters-!n 1' carries with It to the firing line the f:ood name of a particular community, n that steel-tipped column swinging so Jauntily down the street, when the Guard li passing by. are boys from home. Such It Was. Twelve buldheaded men were Jurors In a Massachusetts hair-restorer case. "Is this Justice?" nsked the Brooklyn Bugle. "It mny be retributive Justice," Suggests the Altrrr !"K".

Father "The ultimate con miner, dear, is someone who ultimate ly consumes his last penny in keeping l)ody and soul together." ruck. Ektind Chance Guards Rank as Veterans. It is a veteran torce which will, on this occasion, represent Pennsylvania in the Federal service. Tne Guard Is but recently relumed from a strenu ous period of duty on the Mexican border. Long hours of stiff pract.ee in military maneuver under tne bi s teriug rays of a tropical sun have euse-uarduued the guardsmen. And their efilcleucy has Dec-tome a matter of national record. They "did their bit" , side by clde with the regular army on the border land, acquiring, by emulation, many of the campaigning tricks of the experi enced oldler. But efficient as Is this fine State soldiery, its numerical strength is much below the war standard fixed by the Federal government. Some regi ments can muster, at present, only two-thirds of the number they should have in their ranks. Pennsylvania's young manhood which recently made such an inspiring response to the call for registration now has another patriotic duty con. fronting it. Those who have register ed are eligible for military service. Sooner or later they will be ordered to report for physical examination and. If up to the physical requirements, will be ordered into the military service. There is no obligation, however, up on a registered man to await a formal call to arms. In fact, since it is more than likely he must go It is greatly to his own advantage to be the arbiter, himself, of where, when and how he shall go. Enlistment Beata Draft Isn't it better, by way of example, for an eligible man to enlist, now, in a crack Guard regiment ot his home section, where he will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with friends, than to hold back until ordered into the service, assigned, perhaps, to a newly-formed command where he will be a stranger among strangers? There is the glory of regimental prestige the satisfaction that springs from association with an organization of old and honored traditions and the confidence that Is begotten of comrade, ship to commend voluntary enllstmr nt. All of these are assured to the man who picks a home regiment. On the other hand, none of these things is assured to the man who waits for a regiment to pick him. Voluntary enlistment gives a sure-thing choice. But the only sure thing in store for the man who waits Is the sure thing that he will have to go, if he la fit lo go. The Guard offers the same induce ment in variety of service that Is of fered by the regular army. Infantry, artillery, cavalry and engineers are open to recruiting. This puts the Guard on the footing ot the regular service, of which it is soon to be a part. From the iecrult ing end, Guard service Is even more desirable with Its opportunities sffo'd ed recruits to be placed in the ranks with the boys from home. Always maintaining the highest pay of any army In the world, the army service both regulars and Guard has taken a new lead far beyond even Its old pay-roll standard. The rate of pay for enlisted men is now $30 per month and upwards. Even at $30 a month there is a bis Inducement to save. Since everything Is "found" for men In the service, ex penditures need only be for a few per sonal luxuries. U is figured that a man may easily save two-thirds of h's pay. There is a system in vogue by which the money may be left on de noslt, and 4 per cent Interest is al lowed. Army's Brighter Side. And these are details not to be over, looked even by men who are keen in hot-hearted desire to serve their State and Nation. That there are many such is the confident hope of the Pennsyl vania Guard. It is men of that calibre who have made the Guard what It Is today. And It is to men of that calibre whom they are appealing to make the Guard what it must be in the future if it is meet the high hopes of the State, the Na tion and a stricken world. The sky is over-cast, and the war clouds have gathered. There is sore need here, and elsewhere, of that pic tured uprising of patriot manhood to strike a blow for the Old Flag and the Old Land. And now what does the mustering, in of the National Guard mean to you? Has it stirred you to no sense or your personal responsibility in this great crisis? Has It not caused you to foel that it Is your duty to stand In those brMlIng ranks your country's living walls of defense just as much as it is the duty of those gallant men who have been standing there from the first moment of danger? If it does not mean all of this and more to you. then you have failed to krasp Its meRnlng. Pennsylvania treasures graierui memories of sons who have nobly re sponded to her call in every grave hour of the piwt. Shall Pennsylvania's call, to1ny, find sons too Indifferent to give head 'r this the gravest moment of her history? There is one ir 'oririse: Fill up the Natlinol IipH. "Speed the Parting."
