. Soldiers of the national guard are
welcome to use the equipment, wheth-

NATIONAL GUARD
Attorney General May Have to
Decide Whether 600 Mem
bers Shall Go to Front.

Are Government employees to be per-
rnitted to 90 TO the front with the
District militia?
This is a question which Brig. Gen.
Wilton L. Harvey and his officers
hope will be worked out today.
There are about go Government en-
ployes in the National Guard OF the Dis
trict. Some OF them are employed In
the Navy Department and most OF them
In the other Government departments.
They have all signified their desire
to 20 10 the front, But there is a
question hs 10 the whether or not they
will be permitted to 40 So.
The question will be submitted to
the Judge advocate general OF the army,
and possibly to the Attorney General
OF the Crited States.
Under the new army act which red
cralizcs the national guard. and which
becomes effective July l, employees OF
the Government are exempt from mill
tary service. This was provided for &c
that the Government departing cts, and
especially the bureaus that are con-
cerned with the movement OF troops
would not be denuded OF their employee
when the militia was called into active
service.
The question is more acute with tn,
militia OF the District than with an,
other organization for the reason thai
many OF the guardsnen are employed
in the Government service.
II Is believed that In man. of the de
partments no complaint will be raised
against Government employees going Il
| the front with the militia.
In the Navy Yard and the Govern
mont Printing Office, however. Their
will be some question raised, and It 4
this question which the LEGAL anthcri
ties OF the War Department and thu

called on to decide.
