New Orleans to Organize Regiment in National Guard

Inspector General L A Toombs will name officers and start with a single infantry battalion in New Orleans, followed by additional battalions as recruitment proceeds. President Wilson signed a new army bill increasing pay for guardsmen, with officers and enlisted personnel receiving structured increments, while the plan envisions a full company regiment in the city once battalion growth completes.
