University cadets may have an op
portunity to go Into real warfare in

any great agitation.
The State Military Board has recom
mended to the governor that an addi
tional National Guard regiment be
formed in the State of Nebraska and
has advised the appointment of Lieu
tenant Bowman, Commandant of the
University Cadets, to be colonel of the
regiment. These recommendations
met with the approval of Governor"
Morehead and ho at once telegraphed
the Secretary of War for permission
to commission Lieutenant Bowman in
the new capacity.
In an interview lust night Lieuten
ant Bowman stated that a reply was
expected at any time and that un
doubtedly definite information would
be received before night.
The formation of the new regiment
is merely preparatory lor things that
might happen. In case there was a
serious outbreak with Mexico, it would
undoubtedly be called intoimmediata
action.
""Lieutenant Bowman said last night
that In case ho was appointed colonel
he would make an effort to get as
many University cadets into the regi
ment as posible. Owing to their previ
ous experience in drill and military
tactics, they would be valuable men
and would be given the best positions.
In case the proposition works out
as-iL-ha8-been-plnnned,-aeveral oftho
officers In the cadet regiment havo
signified their Intention of applying for
official positions.
Lieutenant Bowman addressed tho
ofllcers on the situation yesterday
