Backbone of Uncle Defense Forces Several hundred Evansville and southern Indians National Guardsman are on their way to Camp Knox fer two weeks of Intensified military training These young men who work In the shops In the of rices and ln the fields are a part of the United States ne- flnnl Hrnu -m llonal defense system They are will- Ing to spend part of their time In learning the fundamentals of modern soldiering while they are engaged In peace-time pursuits so that they may be ready ln time of need to take their I place In an American army alongside 1 regular troops and carry their part of the burden aucceiafuUy There are many people today who do not realise the Importance of the National Guard ln our national defense scheme The new National Guard grew out of our experience In 'the late war We had guard troops before the war but they were state troops and had to be sworn Into federal service before they could be used by Uncle Bam The state training vu very meager and whan the United States government swore guard troops Into federal service at the outset of the war formed them Into divisions and sent them to camp it took several montha to whip them Into shape almost as long In some Instances aa It did to take raw drafted men and make soldiers out of them National Guard divisions whan they reached Francs did some splendid work and convinced hard-boiled West Pointers that the National Guard was worth developing Under the national defense set of 1920 the National Guard waa made a part of the regular army system The training given the men la of a sttffer sort than waa given state guard troops In tha old daya They go to modern army campa once a year and there put into practice all the things they have learned at night meetings in the armory throughout tha year In eaae of war the present National Guard units would be sent to tha front Just aa quickly aa tha regular units The United States today has a nail standing army aa It haa always had but tha National Guard and reserve corps gives her a decent defense force which could be depended upon in a sudden crisis Much credit Is due these young men who are willing to spend many hours of their own time week in and week out throughout the year and two or three weeks of strenuous military drill ln a camp ln order to fit themselves to play the part of a trained soldier should Uncle Bam ever need them These cltlxen-soldlers really form tha backbone of Uncle Barn's defense forces today When people want to parade any old excuse will do Which fact accounts for most of the parades On Your Wa all admire tha
