TROOPS MAY GUARD
MUNITION PLANTS
War Department Ha. Taken Steps
to Prevent Trouble.

The War Department has taken up
the question Of assigning troop guards
to munitions factories and other
plants where war material is being
produced, as well as water fronts
in the principal ports where military
supplies are stored prior to shipment
overseas.
Preliminary discussion Of the propo-
sition was had at a conference at
the War College yesterday afternoon.
No formal announcement viii be made
for several days.
II the plan Is carried into effect
1t is likely that a number Of men
OF the national army will be employed
in the work
The principal objection by the War
Department is that the soldier guards
would not have authority to arrest
providers unless martial law were de-
clared. Possibility of putting plants
working on government contract and
wharves handling government prop
erty under martial law is one OF the
matters of discussion.
Conferences yesterday brought about
by hundreds Of appeals which have
reached the War Department for
troops to guard property. With the
mobilization Of the National Guard,
the States have no troops to call upon
and the home guards are either un-
trained or insufficient for the work
The Washington herald., 1917-11-17

New York, Nov. ls.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
Government buying. the all over
ual lines. makes for a very large vol
ume of business, irrespective Of oper-
ations for civilian account, and in
oreasingly diverts production from
non-essentials to those things that are
ugently needed for the prosecution OF
the war. The stream Of business in
ordinary channels runs quite freely,
considering that the government has
preference in the matter OF deliveries,
but there Is some evidence OF conserv-
atism and more or less uncertainty re-
specting the future trend OF prices and
the course of the market.
In the latter respect. however, there
is rather more of feeling that press
ing liquidation has been fairly well
completed. Country districts that
have been favored by good crops.
zones in which cantonments have
been established and the South in gen.
eral continue to purchase in a way
that suggests they are but little
troubled by political or other factors
that cause concern in the principal
centers, and from these sections come
reports OF filling-in orders and buying
for future delivery. Retail trade ap-
parently has made some forward
strides, but even so economizing, and
what is popularity termed Indian sum-
men weather in the East, restricted
buying.
