Special to Times Republican
Des Moines, March 24.-Adjutant
General Byers, of the national guard
of Iowa, will be opposed to the require
ments of the war board that the min
imum membership of guard companies
entitled to the benefits of the new ma
tional law for affiliating the militia
companies with the regular service
shall be 60 men for the infantry and
announced that the war board has rec
omended this. To enforce this rule in
Iowa would result in either the drop
ping of one of the Iowa regiments or
the increase of the annual appropria
ton in Iowa by so per cent. The Iowa
companies are organized on the basis
of about SO men to the company but
in fact they average about 45. Only
that 65 men enlisted in every Iowa
company would add over a thousand
men to the guard. There are As COM
panies in Iowa, in four regiments, and
If the war board recommendations are
finally approved by the secretary of
war there will be in the Iowa guards
over 3,120 men. This is more than Iowa
can stand. Many of the companies are
in towns where company of 40 or 40
men may easily be maintained, but
where 65 to 20 can not be maintained.
Adjutant General Byers was one Of
the committee which prepared the Dick
bill and he was consulted in regard to
many of the provisions. He recon-
mended that the minimum be fixed at
90 men and now believes that this
would get better results than 65 men to
company. He will go to Washington
soon to discuss the matter with officials.
and also write letter explaining his
views on this matter. The recommen-
dations of the war board are now open
for discussion and the secretary of war
has indicated that he will not approve
the same until he has heard from the
adjutants general. In every other re-
spect the program outlined by the war
board in Washington will meet the APP
prevail of the officials of the Iowa guard
and they will conform thereto as soon
as 1T becomes necessary

CHICAGO, Dec. sl.-The demand for
wheat today was limited and the market
was easily effected by the bearish news.
Liverpool cables were bearish, Argentine

and the northwest markets were weak.
The fact that the government crop report

a depressing influence. There was also con-

In spite of a bearish government report
corn held fairly steady, a fair demand from
commission houses being the supporting in
huence. Weather conditions were favor
able for the movement or the crop and
local traders were disposed to favor the
light and the close was easy, with May off

close was easy, with May ISAAC lower at
