ABILBNE TO HAVE A GUARD?
Hosno Guard Units Being Formed
All Over the State.

General state recognition and sup
pert for the home guards of Kansas
il the plan of the adjutant generals
office. A preliminary working plan
prepared by Col ]. d. Norton, fed
erai disbursing agent, already has
been submitted for Governor Cap
pers approval. II provides for APP
pointing a committee OF the state S
military experts to draw up code
of rules and regulations for the or
ganination of a home guard.
A number OF Abilene men have
books. which are issued by the gov
eminent, that tell the advantage of a
home guard organization A leader
has already been appointed and the
movement is expected to gain head
way soon. Governor Capper says
Nothing is more important to the
people OF Kansas right now than the
proper organization and equipment
OF home guard There are already
about sixty such units in the state,
representing 5000 or 5000 men
ready to answer the governors call.
They could not be required to serve
outside the state. OF course, but they
constitute practically our sole pro-
lection against riots, spies, l. w. w.
instructions and other forms OF in
ternal disorder. Their Importance
has already been demonstrated by the
great stockyards FIRE at Kansas City,
when they had to be called out to
help aght the flames and prevent con-
fusion and looting."
