STATIONS against the government re-
suited in the fling Of shots in the
Nevsky Prospekt at midnight, as a re-

The firing apparently was the result
of stray shots which brought on a

turned rifles and machine guns on
each other. Quiet was restored after
a few minutes.
Three members of the cabinet have
resigned and a special session of the
council of ministers has been con-
yoked in an effort to avert a crisis.
Those who resigned are:
A. /. Shingaroff, minister Of finance.
Professor Manuiloff, minister OF

USING GERMAN GOLD in U. S.
Prominent Statesman Declares Mil
lions of Dollars are Being Spent
in Propaganda Work.

Washington, July II. - Evidence
that millions in German gold still are
being poured into propaganda work
among Americans has been laid be-
fore the State Department by a states
man of international reputation, it was
learned today. In an interview the
statesman, whose name for obvious
reasons cannot be mentioned, said:
German bought papers are being
published, un%hindered, under the very
nose of the American government
every day.
Hundreds Of ministers are using
their holy offices to turn Americans
into German s%ympathizers.
"The condition is not local, but coun-
try-wide."
A dangerous situation is resulting
from the Vaccinations of these pro-
German propagandists, he asserted.
They are sleeping us in an atmosphere
of hatred.
The alleged pro-German operations
of German churchmen in Nebraska,
the statesman added, are only surface
out-croppings of a honeycomh propa'
ganda embracing more than one re.
ligious body, hundreds of individuals
and many newspapers throughout the
country.

When National Guards Become
Federalized Regiments Will
be Known by Numbers.
COMPETENT OFFICERS
Regular Army Officers to Hold All
Commands Higher Than 6riga-
dier-May Be Exceptions.

Washington, July 1S,-The Missouri
and Kansas National Guard will soon
lose their identity as state organiza-
tons. When it is drafted on August 5
into federal service under the proyis-
ions of the National Defense Act, sub
ject to duty at home OF abroad, it will
not be known as the Missouri or Kan
sas National Guard, but as a number
ed division, composed of units known
by numbers ranging between zone
Hundred and First Regiment, United
States" and Three Hundredth Regi-
ment, United States"
The statement was made by officials
of the War Department today that it
has been found impracticable to re-
tain the identity of the commands as
state organizations and that it was
definitely decided to give new desig-
nations to the state militia. The ma
tional guard regimental numbers are
to begin with 1O1 and national army
numbers with 301. By using these
numbers the public will be able in a
general way to identify the %organiza.
ton referred to. If press dispatches
mention the One Hundred and Tenth
Infantry, it will be understood that il
is a national guard command, while If
the Three Hundred and Tenth lnfan.
try is mentioned it will be known that
it is a selective draft organization
Regular army organizations will use
numbers below 101.
With the exception of Pennsylvania
and New York-which are the only
two states whose troops at present
comprise a complete d~ivision-the ma
| tional guard divisions will be under
command of regular army officers
This is the present plan of the de
partment, and is likely to be carried
into execution, although it is possible
that a few exceptions may be made
But it is the general policy Of the de
partment to give the national guar(
a fair deal in every respect and not t.
displace any of its officers who ar,
competent to hold their commands
Where enc or more brigades 90 int,
the federal service, the brigadier gen
erals commanding these brigades vii
be taken. Where the troops of tw
states are required to make up a br
gade it is probable as a general rul
that the commanding general will b
appointed from the regular army.
