Two Semi-Military
Bodies to Guard
Piers and Plants
[Stdf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Two dis
tinct semi-military organizations will
be used in the protection Of shipping,
piers, arsenals, warehouses and other
plants necessary for the war pro-
gramme, il was learned at the War
Department to-day. One force viii
consist of home guard organizations,
which will be under state authority
and which will have police powers. A
second organization is TO be created
under the Bureau of Militia Affairs Of
the War Department. TO supplement
the work Of the state organizations
and reinforce them where necessary.
Inquiries as to what home guard
units can be raised for this duty have
been sent out TO the adjutant generals
of the various states. Wherever pos
sible il is planned to use these men for
the actual guarding Of property. for
the reason that they. having the state
police authority, will be able 70 use a
much wider degree of discretion than
the Federalized troops.
They will wear uniforms and carry
short range rifles, pistols and probably
billies. A high power military rife
might kill an innocent man more than
mile away if the sentry missed his
incendiary suspect. The men will prob
ably be given old army blue uniforms,
so as not 10 impose any additional
drain on the strained resources sup
plying khaki.
The chief reason for using the state
home guards wherever possible, instead
of the additional Federal militia
guards. of whom about 25,O00 are to be
organized. is their power TO make ar
rests. TO search suspicious persons, and
TO use discretion in carrying out or
ders. For instance, an officer pointed
out to-day that If a sentry were told
not to allow any one 10 pass a given
beat, which he was assigned to patrol,
he would have no alternative but 70
push back or shoot any one who at
tempted to cross.

Priests Uphold Kaiser
German Catholic Clergymen
Reject Democracy

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2i.-An official
German statement photographed from
the government station at Nauen saws
the Catholic clergy of Germany. re-
jecting the principle of sovereignty of
the people, have aligned themselves in
support Of the ruling house and the
monarchic constitution.
The communication, received here
to-day by cable, follows:
"The German bishops will read from
the episcopal thrones this coming
Sunday a pastoral letter in which it
Is declared that the Catholics of Ger
many repel all attacks against the Ger
man ruling house and the monarchic
constitution of the state. The Catho-
lies should protect the throne against
outside enemies and internal revolu-
tion. The bishops reject the sovereign
ty Of the people, which only brings
other forms of inequality and servi-
tude and constraint, of which the
world war offers many examples"

might allow a man he knew was all
right to go by. He could arrest a
man who was acting susplciously. ne
could search such a person TO see i
the man had bombs or other evidences
Of guilt on his person. Inls was IL
lustrated by Secretary OF war BAKER
'If a soldier, in a time when no mar
tial law has been declared, should ar
rest a man who should turn out TO De
innocent" ne said. "the soldier would
be no more within his rights than an
ordinary citizen. Anvone can make an
arrest. The only point is that II the
arrest should turn out 10 be mistake
the person arrested would have grounds
for a suit for false arrest against
either citizen or a soldier. but the
policeman is protected from the conse-
ouences Of his mistake"
Where the states are unable 20 pro-
vide sufficient home guards for the
proper protection OF plants, however.
the new force. which will be Federal
lied militia under the direct control OF
the Bureau of Militia Affairs, will take
over the work. These troops will re-
lieve the entire strain now being put on
the military establishment for such
functions as the guarding Of bridges. so
that all OF the troops intended for
part of the fighting machine may be so
used.
Care will also be taken in equipping
these troops not 70 compete with the
line troops for supplies. Old rifles
will be given them instead Of the new
arms supplied the fighting troops. II
is declared that the old rifles are prob
ably better in that they have greater
stopping power at short range than
the higher powered arms, plus the ad-
vantage that they will not endanger
peaceable citizens a long distance from
the scene Of disorder.
To-day was the last day in which un-
naturalized male Germans more than
fourteen years Of age could remain in
the District Of Columbia, but due to a
mistake in a local newspaper, which
set the date further along, officials said
tonight that no punishment would be
meted out 70 German nationals who
failed 20 register and leave until to-
morrow.
No effort is being made by the Fed
eral officials TO direct the exiles from
Washington. IL was denied that the
government was even attempting 20
get them away from the seaboard. II
they wish to go to New York, or Nor
felix. or Philadelphia. they may do so
provided they do not enter any Of the
barred zones. Crossing rivers on fer
ries is especially permitted under the
terms of the Presidents proclamation.
No adequate idea Of the number Of
Germans either in Washington or at
work in @e government departments
could be given az the marshaPs ofice
tonight.

To Sift Editorial
Attack on Wilson

Conolaints were made yesterday 20
United States Marshal Thomas D. Nc
Carthv against an editorial which, pub
Iisbed in "The Sullivan County O..
" Review" on November IS, bitterly
attacked President Wilson for his
speech in Buffalo on November II, IN
which he expressed his contempt for
raeifsts. The editor and proprietor
Of The Review" is I. William Homes.
This editorial strikes me as being
ss seditious az anything which has
tppeared in The Masses now under
Indictment for sedition," said Marshal
Mccarthy. "I shall make very thor
ough investigation Of The Review.
The editorial, captioned "Feeling vs..

Mayors Defence
Committee to Go
On Despite Hylan
MitchePs Defeat Not to
End Patriotic Work of
Prominent Citizens

The Mayors Committee on National
Defence is not going TO die, nor even
change its spots, when the Tiger enters
City Hall on January /. The usual
sweeping out of office by an incoming
political organization Of different faltn'
it was authoritatively stated yesterday
is not going to affect the committee IN
the least.
Mayor elect John F. Hylan is not to
be consulted regarding the retention oil
the present Mayors committee-unless
he shows beforehand desire 10 let the
present incumbents remain IN once
and its many prominent members know
where he stands on this matter.
The salvagiLg Of the Mayors COM
mittee-which, of course. il continued
Dereft Of the rev Mayors sponsorship
will be under another name-is to be
ACCOMPLISHED by the same public spir-
tied men and women who have worked
so hard and given to 1t unselfshly as
patriotic endeavor during the Mitchell
administration.
No effort was made by the Tribune's
informants 10 underestimate the pres
tige given to the Mayors committee by
the very fact that il was an official
committee. The many influential and
prominent men who have given not only
their names and energy to its efforts in
behalf Of supporting the government in
the national crisis, but likewise thou
sands of dollars, ale willing, even anx-
ious, that II should retain its present
identity.
Such a possibility, however, consider
ing the views which Judge Hylan has
already expressed on public matters,
particularly in his attack on the Bu-
reau of Municipal Research, is believed
10 be remote. Therefore, preparations
have been under way secretly to retain
the committee and continue with the
patriotic work as an Independent and
unofficial organization. Only a few Of
the most influential members of the
committee aGe cognizant of the plans.
None of the working force Of the com
mittee has any knowledge Of these
facts.
The Mayors Committee on National
Defence was organized in 1915 as a
non-political body. solely for the pur-
pose Of aiding both the Federal and the
state governments in military pre-
paredness.
Since this nation became a bellig-
erent the value of the Mayors Com
mittee on National Defence or its
equivalent has become more empha-
sized. This is the reason that promi-
nent men interested in the nations well
fare have decided 10 support the pres
ent Mayors committee without the aid
of the city. If Judge Hylan expresses
any wish to cooperate with them they
are willing.

Germany to List
Property There

BERLIN, Nov. 21.-The official
"Reichsanzeiger" announces that the
ordinances dated October 7, 1915, gov
erning compulsory notification to the
authorities of foreign property in Ger
many have been extended, together
with the penalties in case Of non-com-
pliance, to property owned by citizens
Of the United States as from Novem-
Der 20.
The term property includes shares in
German enterprises within the empire
and legal claims upon persons domi-
ciled within the empire. Transfers Of
such property or claims is permissible
only by the Chancellor's express sane
tion.
The ordinance has a retroactive force
if it can be shown that the transfer
was made earlier, with the purpose OF
evading the new regulation. 1t does
not apply TO property owned by citi-
zens of the United States residing in
the empire.
The immediate purpose Of the COM
pulsory registration is to prevent the
illegal transfer or liquidation of Amer
lean property held within the limits of
the German empire for the purpose OF
removing the same from official con-
troll and conveying the proceeds abroad.
Such transfer or liquidation is allowed
only when specific permission Is
granted.
These restrictions do not apply to
such disposition as Americans may de-
sire to make Of their property within
Germany. They, however, are not per-
mitted to sell their holdings TO resi-
dent member of firm in this country
without specific permission. American
manufacturing plants are not molested'
and Americans resident IN Germany
NAV also continue freely 70 dispose OF
their private means within the confines
Of the country.
The official announcement states that
the compulsory liquidation or the ad-
ministration of the property OF Amer
lean firms is not contemplated, as 1t Is
presumed the provisions of the Amer
icar trading with the enemy act' DO
not purpose the sequestratlon or con-
fscation by the American governmen
Of German property held in the United
States.
COPENHAGEN, Nov. 21.-The pro
visions of the German regulation re-
'o,liring a report on all properties IN
Germany belonging to enemy cltlzehs
has now been extended to American
citizens. H..
The reports are of such nature that
they can be used as a bars for hnah'
