SPRING DRIVE TO. BE INITIAL TEST FOR NEW ARMY
Men in Guard and Draft Will Not Sail This
 Year.

l Washington, July 20.-Troops of the | National Guard and of the 6s7,000 drafted National Army are to be held in reserve in American training camps until after the first of the year. None of these troops will see actual fighting until the spring drive of the allied forces
 1 Officials of the War Department, in l Announcing this yesterday as the &C., i cepted plan of the military chiefs, in tended as an answer to the criticism made against the program of sending troops from Northern States into the Southern training camps. This pro- posal of the department has been at I tackled upon the theory that the men from cold climates, after a brief sea- son in the warm climate of the South, would suffer by being sent at once into the colder regions of Europe. | But those who are directing the op- erations of the National Guard and preparing the training course for the National Army make it plain that | these branches of the service are to ] be Kept at hard training for more than six months, and thet winter will have come and gone before they are irar~oorted overseas from the .anfk,s in the United States. One of these of ficials said yesterday:
 Tt ought to be clear to everybody that it is not possible to train the National Guard of the Northern
 states on their home encampments If we kept the guard in their home
 states and did not send them to l warmer climates we should certainly
 have to stop our training about the
 middle of October. and that would give them only six weeks of training I It ought to be conceded that it would
 not be possible to keep soldiers at drill and under disciplinary and actual
 war conditions in the state of New
 York, for instance. after the 18th of 1 October. What is needed is long and continuous training, and this can be had only in the South.'
 l It is also announced that none of
 the National Guard or the drafted army will be sent abroad until they
 have been transformed into first class
 soldiers by months of intensive train ing.
 It was stated at the department
 yesterday that there is no truth in the 1 published report that the drafted men
 and the men of the National Guard are to be sent to their camps in day
 coaches. The department says that
 in practically every movement of
 troops to these camps tourist sleepers
 and converted Pullmans will be used
 for their comfort.

DEMAND ACTION FOR IMMORAL
ITY-NOTHING DONE IN Alb
SENCE or SPECIFIC.

Last night in the rooms of the
Merchants association. the members
of the local organization of the w.
C. T. u. and the Civic and Child's
Welfare league met as a result of
the published cali, for the purposes
of more forcefully urging upon Off
cials greater diligence in the dis
charge of their police duties. As ex-
pressed i'm the call it was an indigna-
ton meeting. and its purpose was to
take action in regard to immoral
proceedings that take place in our
midst"
The specific cause OF the meeting is
an occurrence of last Saturday night.
when, it is alleged, a young woman
(name unknown) was taken in an
automobile to (place unknown by
men of Madison (names unknown
and assaulted and robbed. after
which she is alleged to have been
taken to Wentworth and left with

States Attorney Geo. r.. Farmer
was called before the assembly and
questioned sharply concerning the of
fetal inactivity. In view of the gen
eraI knowledge of the matter it was
thought that the officials should pro
coed to punish the alleged offenders.
Mr.. Farmers statement was plain.
The attorneys office and the sheriff
were doing what they could to sift
the matter to the bottom. There was
no specific complaint made by any
person. The aggrieved or injured
person could not be found. Action
would, however, be taken upon the
filing of a complaint by the injured
party, or on the filing of a complain
by the women assembled before him
providing, as in such cases, they
would bond themselves in defrayina
the costs. He pointed out that eyi
dence was intangible and hard to get
