TO ORGANIZE MANY
NEW GUARD UNITS
Scores of Additional Regiments
Will Be Formed.
MILITIA TO WAR STRENGTH
Infantry, Artillery, Engineers, Signal
Corps and Cavalry Necessary for
Establishment of Sixteen
Divisions.

Washington, May REORGANIZATION
of scores Of new regiments of National
Guard infantry, artillery, engineers,
signal corps and cavalry will be under
taken soon to supply the tactical for
nations necessary for the establish
ment of the 16 divisions of the guard
provided for in the war departments
plans.
In addition to these troops, imme-
diately after the existing state SOL
diers have been drafted into the fed
eral service, there must be organized
divisional headquarters detachments,
supply, ammunition and medical trains,
heavy field artillery and signal bat
talionS, an air service, two cavalry d.
visions and many new coast artillery

The new organization plans call upon
Illinois, the Twelfth division, to pro-
vide one regiment of infantry, two regi.
ments Of field artillery, one regiment
Qess one company of engineers and
one battalion (less one company OF
signal corps.
Comparison of the organization ia
bles for the 10 infantry divisions with
the existing guard establishment shows
that In the infantry, the arm of the
service in which the guard is strongest,
30 regiments and 6 companies must be
created to provide the 144 regiments
of the divisional structure.
Each division also will have an aero
squadron or balloon company, making
10 air service units.
The first effort OF the department
is to bring up to full war strength all
existing units of the guard. When
that has been accomplished and the
force has been drafted, the next step
will be to create the new units neces.
sary to complete the 16 infantry di-
visions, and the adjutants general of
the states have been instructed that
they should prepare for these new or
CARNATIONS without delay. The CEN

u. S. TO CUT COAL PRICES
Federal Trade Cody Says Measures
Will Be Taken If Operators Fail
to Lower Cost of Anthracite.

Washington, May Enclosures TO
force down anthracite coal prices will
be taken, the federal trade commission
announced, if producers and dealers do
not adhere to their recent promise to
cease extortionate practices. The COM
mission issued this statement on the
subject:
in its interim report of May 4 to
the United States senate the federal
trade commission promised that its ut
most efforts would be used to assure
fair distribution and fair prices of an
thracite coal.
"The commission has sent agents
into different parts of the country, who
will observe closely throughout the
anthracite trade the operation of plans
formulated at recent conferences Of
the commission with operators, job
bers and representative retailers for
bringing down prices to moderate
levels and keeping them there.
"These field agents will report
promptly to the commission for appro-
pirate action any renewal of the intol-
cradle abuses that marked the activi-
ties Of certain elements of the trade
during recent months
"rhe independent operators have
realized that the situation calls for
public-spirited action on their part,
and it is expected that they will re-
duce their present prices to moderate
levels for the season and cooperate in
every way with the commission"

TRIPLE DRIVE WINS
TEuTONS ARE BEING PUSHED
BACK BY ALLIES.
Germans and Austro- Hungarians Put
ting Up Fierce Resistance-Suf-
fered Heavy Losses.

| London, May 23.-The triple often
lans is being carried out with deadly
precision that daily sees some sup
posedly impregnable stronghold of the
| Teutons crumble.
While the British and French cut
deeply into the Won Hindenburg flank,
the Italians in the Julian Alps have
extended 1heir gain northeast of Goritz.
Both the Germans and Austro-Hun-
garians are putting up fierce resist
ance, fighting with rifle, cannon and
bomb to retain their positions. Not
only have the German allies been swept
backward In France and in the Austro-
italian war theater, but they have lost
enormously in men.
With the exception of about 1000
yards, the British under Field Marshal
Haig have now taken about ten miles
of the northern end of the Hindenburg
line. These gains extend from Arras
to a point near Bullecourt. Fighting
with infantry and cannonading contin-
ues along the Sensee river and north of
the Scarpe, on the Arras front. Along
the Sensee the English consolidated
their new positions and extended them.
Heavy German attacks were beaten
off by the French in the Champagne
district In the sector of Moronvllliers.
Along the Aisne river also there were
engagements and violent artillery duels.
The Italians are encountering gigan-
tic obstacles The Austro-Hungarians
are equipped with an enormous amount
of heavy artillery, and the Italian in
fantry Is exposed to violent fire from
these cannon and from machine guns
as they Chamber up the mountainsides.
Colonel Rlpington, the famous mill
tary expert of the Times, calls the Ital-
ian offensive "a most important
event" He adds:

reserves, have greatly aided Italy.
There was certainly the risk before
this event that there might be
serious Austro-German combination
against Italy"

j. S. TELLS KAISER
TO FREE AMERICANS
Reprisal Hinted at in Request
for Action.
YANKEES HELD AT ANTWERP
State Department Makes Protest
Through Spanish Government
Says Germans Are Free to
Leave This Country.

Washington, May 23.-Protest to
Germany against the detention OF
American citizens was made by the
state department through the Span
ish government. The department has
received positive information that
Americans are held in Germany and
has asked for q full and definite state
ment of the imperial governments at
titude concerning their departure.
1t is pointed out this government al
ways has acted promptly on applica-
ton of German subjects TO leave the
United States.
The departments protest is based
specifically upon the cases of two
Americans, employees of an electrical
company at Antwerp. The names
have been withheld. 1t is not believed
that there are more than fifty or sew
enty-five Americans in all Germany, If
there are that many.
All efforts to obtain any infOrma-
ton as to why the two men at Ant
werp have not been allowed to depart
nave talled.
Reprissl is Hinted At.
The department statement announc-
ing the protest, directs attention to
the fact that no obstacle has been
placed in the way of Germans wishing
to leave America.
This generally was construed as an
intimation that some measure of re-
prisal might be adopted in the event
that Germany persists in ignoring the
right of Americans to leave her terri
tory.
1t is regarded as probable that Ger
many might plead difficulties presented
by the conduct of military operations
and promise that the right TO leave
would be granted as soon as such
movement does not interfere with mill
tary operations.
