of military experts as to the wise course
in the present emergency the war de-
partment has reversed previous ruling
and announces that states have the right
TO organize new units of national guard.
This permits expansion of the existing
guard force of about $4,000 men TO
100000 at peace strength or more than
100000 on war footing.
thathA fl JJj
Request of 20 States.
The department planned to draft into
federal service only existing units Of
the guard plus such auxiliary troops
as needed. Twenty states have asked
to raise new regiments, however, and
Secretary Baker ordered a new study
of the national defence act to deter
mine whether the acceptance of new
units up to the limit set in the act wa:
mandatory Judge Advocate Genera
Crowder took this view and his ruling
was approved by the secretary.
An effort TO prevent immediate or
ganization of new regiments was made
simultaneously, however. The gov
ernors were asked to see that existing
units were filled to peace strength be
fore any new ones were organized
Shortage of equipment prevents thu
immediate acceptance of such new
regiments. There are not enough sup
plies on hand TO provide even for ex
listing units at war strength.
Training Officers.
Secretary Baker made it plain tina
the department would not recogniz
skeleton organizations. If the stat
forces were raised to full strength tn
present total of more than 10000 ma
tional guard officers would have I
be expanded to more than 10000 t
provide for the full IL national guar
divisions contemplated by the nations
defence act. The war department ha
felt disinclined to add in this way t
its already heavy burden in findin
and training officers for the war-tim
armies that are to be raised.
The senate military committee ha
cleared the way for taking up the wa
army legislation by completing cor
sideration of war department amend
ments to the present national defens
act to perfect the regular army REQ
ganization. Whether public hearing
on the new army bill and its selectiy
draft features will be held has NJ
been decided. Many requests for hea

TINT BIG WOODEN FLEET
TO MENACE GERMANY
Major General GoethaIs at Head of the
$50 100000 Corporation Starts Anti
Submarine Campaign.

Washington.-The administration S
program for building a vast fleet of
wooden cargo ships to transport sup
plies to the allies and thus defeat the
German submarine campaign will be
put definitely under way this week
when the shipping board will form a
$50,000,000 corporation to build and
operate the vessels.
The corporation will be organized
under the laws of the District of Co
lumbia, and it's entire stock will be
held by the shipping board.
Private shipyards will construct the
ships on standardized plan adopted
b ythe shipping board on basis in
most instances of 10 per cent profit.
Major General Goethals, who, at the
direction of President Wilson, has
agreed to supervise building of the
ships, will come to Washington to- take
charge of the work.
Use informed Ships.
The 100000 tons of German shipping
taken over by the government with
the declaration of war undoubtedly
will be put under the corporation, as
will the Austrian ships now in custody
of the United States. The general
opinion is that the German and Aus
trian owners will be paid for their use
, during the war, and for the ships if
they are lost or are retained.

The Best Protection.

Secretary Daniels decision shows
that the officials whose view it was
that the best answer to the U-boat was
to turn Ou' an enormous number of
destroyers have carried their point.
They were backed by reports from
Vice Admiral Sims. founded on his
experience in European waters.
Another aspect is the problem Of
furnishing conveys to troops and to
supply ships which viii grow as more
Americans go to France. Many Off
GERS believe that destroyer conyoys
guarantee large degree of security
from submarine attack. The depart
ment apparently has approved this
view.
No figures have ever been made
public as TO the number OF destroy
ers under construction. Secretary Dam
iels said today. however. that they
represent the maximum present ca :
