The guard position ia rather hard
to decide. Carson Segelken has been
suggested, but as he has been called
to the colors he will not be able TO
play. Clarence Weber has been sug-
gested, but he is too heavy. The two
best men for guard should be Albert
Jolls and Shelley Meyers. These two
men working together should easily
prove O valuable pair.

The details will be stationed in five
cities.
The recruiting drive has been
started in order to fiji the ranks OF
the National Guard as quickly as
possible. Every man enlisted before
July l will decrease the quota which
Virginia will be called upon to fur
nish by draft. Men recruited after
July | will not be credited to the
State
While recruits will be sought pri-
marily for the First Infantry, it is
the desire Of Governor Stuart to
bring the organizations in the Fed
eral service up to full war strength
without resorting to conscription.
These organizations are now craw-
ing in large numbers of young men
from the country districts which
troops are patrolling. There. is little
chance. however, that the two in.
fantry regiments will come up to
war strength without a draft. 4
The artillery commands, signal
corps and hospital and sanitary de-
tachments are practically on. war
footing. The infantry and cavalry,
however. need many men. The coast
artillery organizations also are IN

MAY Wait Another Week Before De-

May Wait Another Week Before De-
Gliding Shipping Board Fight.
Washington, June 2G.-President
Wilson, it was announced here yes
terday. may await another week be-
fore deciding the Goethals-Denman
controversy over the building of
wooden ships.
There are several points upon which
rho President wishes more informa-
ton before comforting authority
either upon Chairman Denman or
General Goethals. One of these is
the apportionment Of the approprla-
tion of $3.50 900, 900 made by Congress
for building ships that should be
used in carrying out the wooder-silIp
program.
William f. Corey, president OF the
Midvale Steel Company, in a letter
to the editor of the Manufacturers
Record, advises the country to Dulid
all the wooden ships it can, because
there is not enough steel in the
United States to supply the country $
demands.
Mr.. Corey's letter says:
81 am in accord with your re-
commendation to build wooden ships,
for ocean transportation IS the all
important matter. Every ship that
can be built of wood should be IN
the water at the earliest possible
| moment.
"Build ships of steel as WE'LL but
/ give the preference to wooden YES
sells as all the steel the world can
produce is urgently required TOR puf-
poses that will allow no substitution
There is an actual scarcity of steel
making materials and equipment
whereas there is an unlimited supply
of wood"
