are sent to training camps at AnnIs-
ton, Ala. and GreenvIlle, s. C.
No colored troops whatever will be
sent to training camps with the ma
tional guard, If present plans are
carried out.
Objections of Southern cities to the
presence OF colored soldiers from the
the recent trouble at East St. Louis
and Chester, Pa, are responsible for
the order.
For the present the District troops
and other colored soldiers now in
Federal service Will be kept on guard
duty. II has been suggested that a
training camp for colored regiments
may later be established to prepare
these troops for service in France.
Secretary Baker has before him
recommendations OF General Mann,
chief OF the Militia Bureau. for the
appointment OF major generals for
each OF the guard divisions and brig
adler generals to command the ma
tional guard brigades. Present brig

party, at a melting OF. the Croatian
Diet demanded the complete emsnci-
patton OF Croatia, the closing OF Hun
garian schools in Croatia, the abso-
lutte separation of Labacza and Banat
from Hungary and the creation Of an
Independent southern Slav state for
the freedom OF Austrian Slavs, ac-
cording to a Budapest dispatch re-
ceived here today.
The state thus to be created should
have the right for union with Serbia
II It SO desires. The president OF the
Diet, amidst great uproar, tried to
stop the speech, saying that Hungary
would adopt energetic measures to
combat such policy, as its existence
would be dangerous.
Croatia constitutes the western
half Of the Hungarian crownland Of
Croatia-SlayonIa- The language Of

THE workers knew that they would
never be safe as long as the rustling
card system existed. For under that
system, every man who complained
OF conditions or reported dangers or
endeavored to form an organization

other, and IL would be impossible for

Rankin recites the war powers of the
