CUARDSMEN PUT
OUT TO PROTECT
PUBLIC PROPERTY
(By Associated PresS)

WASHINGTON, March 28-Con.
gressional leaders today gave inform.
al consideration to the legislative pro.
gram to meet the national emergency,
but it was emphasized that definite
steps to that end would not be taken
until after President Wilson delivers
his address to congress soon after 1t
convenes in extraordinary session
next Monday.
Meanwhile, steps to put the nation
in state of readiness to meet any
eventuality. went ahead actively.
More than fifteen thousand national
guardsmen were under orders today to
remain in the federal service for po-
lice duty at industrial plants and 9th
er property in their respective states.
Altogether, about fifty thousand
guardsmen have now been called out
for this purpose.
President Wilson was in conference
today with Col. E. M. House, his house
guest and personal advisor. but it was
said that he does not plan to put his
message to congress in final shape un-
til the last minute, nor has 1t been de-
cided. even after yesterdays cabinet
meeting, just what recommendations
he will include in it.

LOCAL men
WILL FORM
A NATIONAL
GUARD BODY
Patriotic Celebration May
Culminate in Organization
Following Parade and Fer
vent Addresses.
May ASK GOVERNOR
BY w. r. PouNpsroNE.

One OF the anticipated results of
Richmond's proposed patriotic cele-
bration, to be held in the near future
II present plants mature, will be the
organization of a company to be af-
filiated with the Indiana National
Guard.
Men who are behind the patriotic
celebration movement contemplate a
night parade to be followed by mass
meeting of citizens at the Coliseum.
II has been suggested to the promo
ters of this project that steps be
taken at this meeting to organize a
local guard company
Richmond to Recruit Company.
Stimulus was given this movement
by the call to arms sounded by Gov
ernor Goodrich in an address delivered
at Anderson last night. 1t is proposed
to recruit the Richmond company to
full war strength, $50 men. j.
1t is believed that guard company
would make popular appeal to Rich
mond young men who are desirous Of
serving their country in the present
crisis. the gravest that has confronted
the republic since the dark days Of
the Civil war
The regular army and the National
Guard troops of the various states will
form tho nations first line OF defense
on land and no presidential call for
volunteers will be promulgated until
the regular army and the National
Guard hds been modified.
Local Men See Service.
There are a large number Of Rich
mond men who have seen service with
the regulars and with the state guard,
and. in addition, there are quite a
number of Richmond men who have
been educated in military schools un-
der the supervision of regular army
officers. 1t is quite probable that
many Of these experienced men would
enlist in the proposed Richmond guard
company
Governor Goodrich last night urged
the organization Of a guard company
In Anderson and it has been suggested
that he be invited to speak at the pa
triotic meeting to be held in Rich
mond to give him an opportunity to
make a direct appeal for the organiza-
tion of local guard company.

Cost of Bridge
Bars Is Doubled
By War Situation

H. L. Gray, Indianapolis, Indiana
representative for the American Steel
and Wire company, was in Richmond
today.
He reported that steel companies
cannot guarantee shipments of steel
bars in less than a years time. The
car shortage and war situation are re-
sponsible. This company which serves
several Of the largest local industries
is making special efforts to protect its
old customers during the steel short
age.
Steel bars like those which will be
used in the Main and South G street
bridges are selling for $3.35 hundred
pounds. Before the European war
started the same bars could have been
purchased for $104 hundred pounds
Steel Cost Is High.
In case the Main street bridge is
erected this year, the steel will prob
ably have to be purchased from job
bers at very high prices.
The cement situation is also acute
Then comes another problem-the car
shortage.
If war is declared, the situation will
become much more complicated. 1t is
not known what action the county
commissioners will take in this event
Representatives of the steel corpor-
ations estimate that there will be no
drop in steel prices until 1920 at the
earliest.

DEMAND OVERTHROW
OF GERMAN POWER
tBy Associated Press)

PETROGRAD. via London, March %
A group of social democrats has put
out declaration which, as far as can
be determined, fairly represents the
attitude of the majority of that party
toward the government. The declara-
tion, which is signed by half dozen
locally prominent names, favors Wig
orous prosecution of the war, leaving
the demands of the social democracy
in abeyance until the country is safe
from the danger of return of the
monarchy
On the subject of the war the declar-
alton said:
"The victory of the central empires
would bring ruin and reinstate the old
regime 1t is necessary now. more
than ever before, to continue the
struggle against the last bulwark of
monarchical control in Europe"
