MILITIA TO Be EXCUSED
BEFORE CALL TO SERVICE
Men With Dependents Being Dis
charged From Units Not Yet
Summoned to Colors.

Only men without dependent relatives
will be in the ranks when the units OF
the District National Guard not now IN
federal service receive their call to the
colors. Orders having been received
from the War Department to discharge
all men having relatives dependent
upon them for support. unit command
ers have been releasing all such men IN
their commands. Just how many as
charges will result cannot yet be estl-
mated. but the number probably Will
exceed fifty, 1t is believed.
In a number of instances Arms have
offered to make up the difference De
tween the pay their employees now re-
ceive and that which they Will receise
when called into service. In sucn III
stances these men will be permitted 70
stay in the National Guard service, 1or
while their pay as a soldier may pc
only SIS a month, dependent relatives
that they may have will have Just as
much TO live on as they did before 'he
provider was called to the colors-
The discharge of the guardsmen az
this time is welcomed by National
Guard officers, as it viii save mucn
confusion when the units are called
into federal service.
If tentative plans now under consid-
Grafton are adopted the already thin
ned ranks of the Sd Infantry, n. G. D.
c.. now in camp at Fort Myer, are to be
further depleted when details are with
drawn from the companies to do guard
work about the camp for members OF
the officers Reserve Corps which IS 70
be located nearby. Capt. Edwin W.
Fullam adjutant of the regiment. said
today while this plan is being seriously
considered it has not yet been definitely
decided upon.
Five light motor trucks have been as
signed the regiment for use at Fort
Myer and also along the Washington
aqueduct. where several companies are
on guard. One truck probably will be
assigned to each company and one will
be kept at the regimental headquar-
tiers at Fort Myer Lieut.. Frank of the
I'd United States Cavalry is in charge
of the trucks. and men Of the District
regiment have been assigned to drive
them and as mechanics.

Milk and Infantile Paralysis.

To the Editor of The Star
In your issue of last night you print
a statement of Dr. Woodward relative
to the milk question in which he, with
out naming me. calls on me to state
whether or not some statistics as to in
fantile death rate which he quotes do
not justify his course. He gives the
death rate of infants in Washington
and Baltimore, and blames the larger
death rate in the latter city to the
fact that milk which he now refuses
his permission to come here is sold
in Baltimore. His own figures and
statements convict him of being unfair
If. as he says, the statistics quoted
mean anything. then he must find some
other cause for the larger death rate
in Baltimore than that milk from So
The fact is that the milk which he
now refuses permission to come here
was sold here all of last summer dur
ing the time that he collected the sta
tistics which he quotes. Not only was
it shipped and sold here then, but some
of the milk which he now condemns
was coming here at that time with his
permission. i. was not till October
that he revoked permits in many cases
and this milk. which has caused sc
much agitation recently, has been
has been bought and sold by every
dealer in Washington without excep-
ton, and this is known to DR. Wood
ward Is the health officer trying to
have some dealers get the higher prices
which he says the people ought to be
willing to pay?
