TO SEND NATIONAL GUARD
TO CONCENTRATION CAMPS

me war Department is rapidly com
pieting its plans for sending the Ma
tional Guard to concentration camps in
the South. Southwest and West as
rapidly as mustered into the Federal
service. 1t was announced to-day that
official designation as a camp had been
made of Palo Alto. Cal. This camp
supplants the camp proposed for
American Lake, Wash. American Lake
still retains draft army camp, but
the proposition to locate both a draft
camp and a National Guard camp there
fell through.
Every arrangement for the transpor-
tation Of the national guardsmen to the
camps is being completed. In line with
these arrangements. Secretary Baker
to-day stepped into dispute which
had been raging between the Louisville
and Nashville Railway and the Western
Union Telegraph Company. The dis
pute. which involved the right of the
latter company to maintain It's lines
along the railways right of way, was
approaching climax which threatened
to interfere with government opera
lions, especially troop movements. Sec
rotary Baker, accordingly. warned both
parties to reach a settlement imme-
diately; otherwise he declared the
telegraph line would be taken over by
tho government.

THE MEANING OF GERMANY's ACTS.

Judging Germany by her actions and not by her
words-whcll, the light Of the past two wears, is
fair Judgment is not striving TO avert de
claration of war BY the United States.
Germany insists on a course of action which
means war unless BY a miracle none OF her lbOats
violate American rights This course of action is
consistent with the outrage OF Belgium and with the
German doctrine Of Weltpolitik- with
the theory that International law is to he broken for
natioDal advantage.
CSer1nanys detention Of Gerard illustrates 10 a
curious degree her obvious plan Of action Berlin

painted it entirely from memory and
without a single color or detail note.
