STATE GUARD
SOON WILL BE
REORGANIZED
BY COL. WINFIELD JONES
WASHINGTON, March 8.—(Special
Correspondence).—There will soon bo
a recrudesence of the national guard.
Under the army reorganization act a
national guard officer is to be chief
of the bureau of militia affairs. Since
the bureau was established a regu
lar army officer has always headed it.
Under the new law the chief here
after will bo a national guard officer,
who must have had at least ten years
commissioned experience in the
guard.
It is hoped by friendB of the nation
al guard that under the new regime,
with the bureau in actual charge of
a national guard officer, the guard
will take on new life, and soon be re
organized and recruited up to the
strength and military efficiency that
j congress and the people wish it to
have.
Certainly with the regular army cut
down to only 150,000 rank and file,
and universal military training
thrown into the discard by congress,
the only hope now of an adequate
military force for the country lies in
the national guard. This is well real
ized in congress though the present
| war department regime does not seem
to realize it.
| Therefore, as soon as the national
! guard secures actual control of the
! militia bureau, we may look for a big
; increase in the number and efficiency
of the national guard. The guard at
’ present numbers about 75,000 officers
' and men, when it should be half a
1 million. Many members of congress
and civilian advocates of national
| defense believe the guard should num
ber at least a million men ,all trained
on some system similar to the Swiss
■ method, or some other system where
' by the guard would become a 'real
offensive and defensive force.
It is true that for some years to
come, even without a strong national
| guard and with a regular army of
j only 150,000 men the country wo (Id
be safe in event another war occurred
because there are now in the United
States about 5,000,000 veterans
trained in the World war. All of
these veterans are young men and for
a number of years would be able to
again flock to the colors and defend
the country.
Another big thing that makes the
republic safe in event of another war,
for some years, is the fact that the
government arsenals and storehouses
arc now crammed full of warlike ma
terial of all kinds. It is said we have
enough small arms ammunition now
in storage to last for a twenty years
war, and all other munitions are
stored in proportion.
The situation therefore is, if an
other war occurs, say within the next
ten years, we would have the men
and the supplies to quickly raise huge
armies again.
But the veterans of the World war
will after a time become too old for
military service, and with a small
regular army and no universal train
ing the hope of national defense will
rest largely with a great and efficient
national guard.
Congress is determined to have
such a guard and the people are back
of the senators and representatives in
this. There can be no doubt of that
Many factors worked against the
reorganization of the national guard
after the armistice. After the armis
tice there was no national guard ex
cept small bodifes of state troops that
had been raised during the World
war, because the national gaurd that
covered itself with glory in France
ceased to be national guard troops
when they were mustered out of the
federal service.
The militia bureau seems not to
have been able, since the armistice,
to make much headway in recruiting
a new guard. The last annual report
of the bureau says hostility of na
tional guard officers who served in
France and who alleged they were dis
criminated against by regular army
officers has held back reorganization
and recruiting of the new guard.
Probably under a national guard of
ficer, in charge of the bureau, this
alleged hostility to reorganization of
the new guard by the old guard of
ficers, if such really exists, will dis
appear. It is believed that this al
leged hostility on the part of the na
tional guard officers who served in
France doe's not exist against the
new national guard, per se, but
against the regular army officers who
practiced the alleged discriminations
against the guard officers.
GREECE OPENS
MARKET PLACE
FORU.S.TIBER
WASHINGTON, March 8.—An or
der for a supply of window frames
and doors for houses amounting to
$500,000 has been closed with the
Greek government by an American
firm, according to the bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce.
A limited market for southern pitch
pine and hardwood, due to the de
struction of Greek forests, is observ
able in Greece. Before its entry into
the war considerable quantities of
lumber were furnished the country
from Rumania, Austria and Scandi
navia. This traffic, which ceased en
tirely during the war because of dif
ficulties in transportation, is now
during gradually resumed.
This district offers a market for
all woods employed in the construc
tion of small water craft, railways,
interior decoration, and flooring of
dwellings and the manufacture of
furniture.
