"The Nation Guard in the world war" "Early in February 1917, after weary months spent on the Mexican border protecting the nation against the outrages of bandit and outlaw, the remaining units of the National Guard received the welcome news that they were to go home and disband. But on the heels of that order came another, holding them in the Federal Service to meet a far greater emergency. With characteristic patriotism the guard accepted the disappointment and made ready for the crisis becoming daily more apparent as the Imperial German Government violated one right after another and finally startled the world by announcing its intention of sinking without warning all allied or neutral shipping. On April 6th, 1917, Congress answered the challenge by declaring war. The Conscription Act was passed on May 17th, and on June 5th more than ten million young men registered for military service. But it was to the Guard the government turned in the emergency for quick and effective action. On April 14th the War Department authorized the expansion of the Guard and under this authority its strength has increased by voluntary enlistment from a bare 125,000 to more than 400,000. At this date, September 1st, the Guard is fast being mobilized in Southern Camps, where it will be properly trained and equipped for service in France. It is safe to say that when the Allied Armies march down the Unter den Linden in Berlin, a regiment from the National Guard of the United States of America will be among those leading the way."/24"x17.5"xCollection
