OUTLINES PLANS
FOR M|L|T|AUN|TS
War Department Issues State.
ment Warning Against New
Organizations.
GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBLE

Administration plans for the Nation
emergency were outlined definitely to-
day in a circular made public by the
War Department.
These plans explain why no new
units of the guard will be recognized.
.Adjutants general of the states have
been informed that no new units of the
guard will be recognized except such
special forces as may be necessary to
complete divisional organization of the
present esta blishment and those which
have armories, have been recruited in
definite localities and have other indi-
cations of probable permanency.'
The purpose of the department is to
prevent organization of purely volun-
teer regiments under the guise of Ma
tional Guard units and which would
not, in all probability. last beyond the
duration of the war.
Recruits Being Turned Away.
In the debate in the Senate on the
army appropriation bill yesterday aft
ernoon Senator Wadsworth of New
York. Senator Weeks Of Massachusetts,
and others brought out the fact that in
the last few days recruits who have
been flocking to National Guard arm
ories in various cities have been turned
away because Of orders from Wash
ington.
The War Department circular points out
that the present emergency is one which
cannot be met by the regular forces
and the National Guard alone, and adds
that existing law does not contemplate
that the federal government shall call
upon the states to form more national
guard troops in order that they may be
called into the federal service"
The laws" the circular continues,
placed this responsibility of organic
ing more troops for strictly federal use
upon the federal government, where it
probably belongs"
The circular then affirms his state
ment of policy, approved by Secretary
Baker:
State authorities and National Guard
officers should concentrate their
energies and attention upon organizing.
properly equipping and training their
existing organizations, and recruiting
them up to maximum strength author
ixed."

In Small Denominations.

The term of the bonds is vet to be
decided upon, as we'll as the denomina-
tions 1t is likely that there will be
little change in the plan to issue them
in denominations as low as SIS. Once
the authorization is granted. it is pos
sible that the big issue will not be
placed before the investing public in
one lump sum, but will be issued from
time to time as the money is needed.
Temporary certificates, as usual, will
be issued at frst, to be redeemed when
the government will have had time to
engrave the bonds, a task of no mean
proportions.
Mr.. McAdoo conferred yesterday with
Representatives Rainey. Longworth
and Moore and with Senator's Penrose
and Hastings in addition to other rep
resentatives and senators with whom
he had conferred before regarding the
issue. ]. p. Morgan. in Washington on
other business for few hours, paid
five-minute call on MIR. McAdoo. The
bond issue was discussed incidentally
it was said, and Mr.. Morgan remark ed
that he thought the country was in
condition readily to absorb a large is
sue

Cash Supply a Question.

The question which has been raised by
several members Of the committee is the
practical one of where the cash is to come
from to buy these bonds at the rate pro-
posed by the administration. The answer
Of the officials is that the patriotic spirit
Of the country will cause them to be taken
up readily.
Offsetting that view, however, Is the
contention of several members of the
committee that while the patriotic spirit
might result in disposing of a billion dol
lars worth of bonds. 1t is quite another
thing to sell three billions now and two
billions later.
Those who hold to this view contend
that there are so many more attractive
investments in the field, beginning with
savings banks at per cent, and running
through real estate and farm mortgages
UP to industrials, that prospective buyers
may hesitate to take the government
bonds at 3ls.
1t was stated before the committee met
that an amendment would be offered to
increase the interest rate to a fiat per
cent. the contention being that this would
result in quick absorption of the loan.

from bankers and others to give free
aid in making the bond issue a success.
In addition. the Secretary will seek the
aid Of banking institutions and govern
mental agencies in floating the issue.
Indications are that the bonds will carry
the conversion privilege. permitting their
holders to exchange them at par with
bonds of subsequent issues. bearing a
higher interest. should such higher rate Of
interest be deemed necessary in future
authorizations. In view of the tremen-
dous labor of placing the issue before the
public for subscription it is thought un-
likely that the first returns will be avail
able for the allies before May Is.

House Committee Takes Up
$1,000, 900, 900 Bond Issue,
Big War Revenue Measure

The ways and means committee of
the House met at o'clock this after
noon to take up the proposed bond
issue of $4,000. 100000 for the ultimate
benefit of the allies. 1t is understood
to be the wish of the administration
that this shall be the first feature of
the work of the committee toward
raising war revenue.
1t was evident from talks with mem
bers of the committee prior to the
meeting that the rate of interest to
be carried by the bonds would occupy
the grave attention of the committee.
The proposition of Secretary McAdoo is
that the rate shall be 3k per cent,
with a convertible proviso that it may
be raised to A per cent at discretion
1t was recalled by one member of the
committee that this suggestion was re-
jected when the Panama bond issue
was authorized.
