$4,000 TRAINED
GUARDSNEN MAY
JOIN PERSHING
Army General Staff Would
Dispatch Men to Trenches
Before Winter
TRANSPORT QUESTION
BOTHERS OFFICIALS
By The Uuited Press.

~ The United Press
WASHINGTON. June 2-Five di-
visions Of national guardsmen, about
l25,000 men-will be in Europe by the
time snow flies IL plans under CON
sideration by the army general staff
are adopted.
Action in these plans IS expected
either today or early next week and
the fact that they are now before the
staff explains the reason behind aban-
donment OF the half Of the proposed
cantonments for the new army and
national guard.
The STAFF is understood 10 look IA
vorably upon the plan though there
is the practical difficulty Of trans
porting such a large number of troops
before. say November. Oven a fairly
large transport ship will accommodate
comfortably scarcely moro than 1000
men.
While the plans have not been fully
worked out, they contemplate in a
general way only scratching the sur
face in the matter of training in
American tent camps, leaving the real
hard, intensive work ether to can
tonments in Great Britain OF TO
training classes in France.
In case the troops are sent to
France they would be located in
french towns behind the lines and
the necessity for supplying a heavy
shortage Of tenting could be obvi-
ated.
With the 100000 to 10000 men
gone, the question OF caring for the
remainder of the guard under can
vas would be comparatively simple.
AS the plans now stand the War
Department would pick the best
trained Of its National Guardsmen for
the service. They would supplement
The one division Of regulars under
General Pershing, already arranged
for.
II transports can be provided there Il
practically no question az to sending tn
men abroad before winter. They might
even be seasoned and trained 20 get II
on the last Of the autumn drive ans
certainly would be fit for the meagr'
winter service and for the big spring
drive.
In making plans for this additiona
force the War Department is taking
into consideration that a single division
Of the regular army is only a 'drop II
the bucket" whereas five divisions sup
plementing that one could make a rea
impression on the Western front bVtl
from military and physchologica
standpoint.

WILMINGTON DROPS

Members Of the Wilmington Defense
Committee met last night in the Coun-
Gil chamber in the Municipal Building
Due to the election today, and the fact
that almost all Of the membership ot

attendance was the presence Of a num-
Der of the members at the meeting in

TO request Governor Townsend TO define

American Note
TO RUSSIA MAY

Message Advising Against
Separate Peace Fails to
Reach Petrograd
ROOT Commission IS
Greatly HANDICAPPED
Rr Thn nnllad Presa.

By The United Press.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-The stat(
Department today asked tho cabl6
companies to investigate what has
happened to this governments recent
message on war aims sent TO Russia
to quiet separate peace propaganda
and soiidify the Slavs to war against
Germany.
This message, considered vital al
this time, Is a clearcut statement Of
Americas position toward the war
and is intended TO encourage Rus
sia.
The last word direct from Ambas-
sador Francis ittcLed the state De-
partment on May 20. but contained no
suggestion that the message had yet
reached Petrograd. II was sent In a
special code-possibly one OF the
codes already In possession Of Ger
many No duplicate was carried by
the Root commission as 1t was IN
tended as a note OF Introduction paw
ing tho way for the commisslona
labors.
The delay in receipt may be simply
accounted for by reason OF special
business, though the fact that II was
dispatched about two weeks ago Is
not generally considered to come un-
Ter that excuse.
The department is not fully informs
ed as TO what route the message took
though Il believes It was sent via
Great Britain and Archangel thus
ohviating It's passage through German
hands unless Ccf mans were empl iyef
In tho cable Offices or unless Germal
agents hrihed cable company EN-
ployes.
