UNITED STATES GUARD

Forty battlions of infantry, made up
largely of officers and enlisted men who
are bevond the age limits fixed by General
Pershing for oversee fighting forces will
be organized and will be known as the
United States guard.
The United States guard will be com
posed of enlisted men, or men to be enlisted
between the ages of thirty-tlve and forty
five, and will be used to relieve the soldiers
intended for foreign service from police
and guard duty along the water front. and
at other points where regulars and national
euardsmen are employed under the present
plan.
This order does not affect the new nat
ional guard units now being formed IN
Tennessee and other states, nor does 1t
take the place OF state constabulary and
rangers, such as are employed by Penn
svlvana. Texas, and other sections.
Officers of the regular army who are not

States units.
Many men who were not called into ser
vice on account OF the age limit are eager
to serve their country in some branch OF
the service and in this unit these men may
find their chance 1t is reported that the
men will be equipped with out-of-date cloth
ing, of which there is big supply, and will
be furnished with Krag-J Jorgensen rifles,
and other equipment, which is plentiful,
but not applicable to trench conditions.
The unit will be quartered near the
points which they protect and, insofar as
possible, will be given home town duty. \
reserve force will be distributed at rail
road centres so as to be easily mobillzed.
Other details of the new organization are
being worked out by the militia bureau.

state farmers in a definite plan for coop
erative distribution OF food. The plan is
for the farmers TO ship their products di
rectly to the city workers, totally eliminat-
ing any and all profits to the middlerran.
But it would seem, from the interview
given out by Mr.. Dillon that the trouble
lies quite as much with the lack of labor
as it does with the eNtortionate middle
man. 1t has been suggested that men should
lie drafted into the service of the country,
for the raising and harvesting OF the crops
When this is started if it is, it might be a
good idea to put some of the alien enemies
to tilling the fields of this country, in order
that not only our fighting men and those of
the allies be led, but the women and little
