THE UNCERTAINTY OF
TnE SECOND REGIMENT

Columbia, Feb. 5.-As has oee!i
foreshadowed in this correspondence,
International complications may delay
the return Of the Charleston Light
Dragons and other South Carolina
troops on the Mexican border.
information received in Columbia
tonight is to the effect that the South
Carolina units of the national guard.
which nad been scheduled for all
cary return home, have been retain
"a on the Mexican border. Their re-
turn was suspended, it was stated. al
ter they had entrained for their trip
home.
The report mere tonight is to the ef-
feet that after the South Carolina and
Tennessee units had already entrain-
ed for home an order was received
by General Funston suspending the
return Of all State guard troops.
Columbia, Feb. $50 far as any
one can now see, it will not be long
until all Of your troops are back,
says Secretary Of War Baker to Gov
ernor Manning in letter received at
the governors Office today. The let
ter bears the date of February 2, pri-
or to the severance of diplomatic re-
lations between the United States and
Germany. Whether or not the pres
ent acute situation will delay the re-
turn Of the Second South Carolina
regiment from the Mexican border, or
whether they may be returned and
held in readiness here, or returned
and demobilized subject to. call, was
discussed in official circles here to-
day, but there was no definite infor-
nation upon which to base an opin-
ion
Secretary OF War Baker, in his let
ter to Governor Manning, says:
Your letter of January 29th ought
to have had an earlier acknowledg-
ment, but l have been endeayoring to
hurry home from the border as rapid
ly as Il could the troops already desis-
mated to return, and find the problem
of transportation so involved that It
does not seem possible to meet your
wishes in the matter Of the Second
South Carolina. can say, however.
that just as rapidly as the trains csc
bring them these soldiers are coming
and that so far as any one can now
see, it will not be long until all O.
your troops are back"

Manning had written the secretary Of
war urging that the Second South
Carolina be sent to Washington in
TIME for the Inauguration ceremonies
and that they be sent home from
Washingt to be mustered out. In

LOAN BANKS TOPAY
SMALL DIVIDENDS
Farmers Interests To Be Con-
sidered First in Operating
New Credit System.

The dividend policy OF the twelve
farm loan banks win be 'parsimoni-
GUS"
The farm loan board entertains the
opinion that the farmer would rather
have earnings put back into the busf-
ness than paid out in dividends.
Students of the farm loan act have
figured that stock In the hands OF the
public might receive dividends at
rates variously estimated at from Is
to 45 per cent q year.
This is because about 90 per cent
of the capital OF the twelve banks was
subscribed by the Government. The
Government viii take no dividends.
This would leave the entire dividend
earnings for the small share of the
stock in public hands
These figures dwindle to ordinary
proportions, when it Is considered
that the percentage OF dividends is
discretionary. The farm loan board
Is opposed to granting large dividends.
1t Is willing to pay a fair return on
stockholders money, but no more.

CLUBS TO HELP GET
WORK FOR WOMEN
Will Form Committee Here to
Cooperate With Department
of Labor.

A federated cooperative committee,
formed os representatives Of Wash
ington women's clubs, will be organ
lied here soon to aid the Department
of Labor in obtaining positions for
women out OF employment
The decision to form the commit
tee was tentatively made yesterday
afternoon, following an address be-
fore representatives Of vomen's
clubs by Commissioner Of Labor
Caminetti, IN the Public Library.
Women who were present yesterday
will put the matter before their clubs
and receive the organizations in
dorsement. A meeting will be held i3
the Public Library, March 3. az
which the committee will be appoints
ed and its work started.
Commissioner Caminetti yesterday
outlined the work of such q commit
tee, and told how the plan was now
in operation in other cities Of the
United States, having the Endorsement
of twenty-eight national women's
clubs, representing q membership OF
7,0O0, 900 women
Aid To Home Gardening.
In all cases, the committee Is a
clearing house between the women
applicants for positions and the Gov
ernmant departments.
With the formation Of the COMMITTEES
here. the back yard gardening plan
to combat the high cost Of living win
receive a decided boost In the. manner
outlined as follows by one Of the women
present yesterday.
Many women in Washington are, unable
to leave home for outside work, yet are
in need Of remunerative employment
Such cases. reported to the federated CO.
operative committee. will in turn be re-
ported to the Department Of Labor.
Should the committees report to the
Department Of Labor show that the
women in question possess large enough
yards. the cases viii be turned over to
the Department OF Agriculture. In
structions as to what the women should
grow, and how to cultivate the back
yard. then will be forwarded.
To standardise Home Labor.
The formation Of tha committee is par
ticularly in keeping with the recent an
nouncement by the Department Of Labor
that women win be given equal chance
to compete with men FOR positions in
munitions factories. Women and girls
found out Of employment will be reported
to the Department Of Labor. The de-
partment then will give them informa-
ton concerning the requisites OF women
employees in munition factories.
Perhaps the biggest aim OF the COM
mittee will be to standardfze home labor.
Other branches Of employment have their
standard grades OF pay, working hours.
and requirements Home labor. how
ever. economically one Of the largest
branches Of service in the country and
employing as large a force as any. has
no standard.
