9O7 pounds of bleached cotton fiber,
including linters and hull fiber.
consumed in the United States in the
manufacture OF guncotton an6 ex-
plosives of all kinds. This quantity
was equivalent to 1870 bales Of
500 pounds each and compares with
144,9SS bales for the corresponding
quarter of 1916 and 162,015 bales
for the quarter ending Dec. 81, 1916.

NATIONAL GUARD
PLACE IN DOUBT
New Units Authorized May
Cause An Entirely New
Element of Force.
Associated Press Service:

Associated Press Service:
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE eX-
act place the national guard is TO fill
in the national army still is a matter
of speculation in the war depart
ment.
Under the recent announcement
that states may form additional units
up to a total national guard includ-
ing naval militia, OF 500 men for
each representatives or senator, IL is
not even possible as yet TO forecast
accurately the strength Of organi-
cation when IL is drafted into the
United States.
1t is possible that an entirely new
element of the national forces will
be evolved out of the discussion.
The suggestion has been put forward
that only Il full divisions OF guard
by organized into tactical units for
purely military purposes. and that
would leave many regiments unat-
tached 10 divisional organizations.
One proposal is that these add
tionai regiments or other substitut
ed for them be definitely assigned
for police duty. relieving the units
which soon will be needed at training
camps. In that event the states
might be encouraged to recruit police
regiments among older men, giving
them an opportunity to serve their
country without undergoing the
hardships OF campaigning.
The older men are better fitted for
police work and If assigned near
their homes, they would constitute
in effect, definite home guard force
similar TO the German landsturm
and the French territorials.
In the circular issued by the mi
Htia bureau on May 5, il was point
ed out 10 the adjutants general of
the several states that while tn Jaw
granted the right TO each state TO
organize new national guard forces
up to the limit set in the national
defense act il was not the purpose
of the department TO encourage such
procedure. The state officials were
told plainly that the department be-
lieved il wiser TO recruit all exist
ing guard Organizations up TO full
war strength, each regiment to be
backed by a reserve battalion from
which the force at the front could
be maintained

585 REGISTER FIRST
WEEK; III ARE WOMEN

A total Of 46S men and III wom-
en- have registered during the past
week at the registration booth in
the city hall. Yesterday the figures
were slightly more than those of
Friday. there being 81 men and IS
women.
Just what action the city council
will take with regard TO the loca-
ton of the registration booth is
doubtful. At first objection was
raised to having the registration
place in the council chamber on the
grounds that the carpet would be-
come worn and dirty. This objec-
ton was overcome by the decision to
have only those in charge of the
work be in the council chamber
proper: but now the question arises.
what will the council do Monday
night when II cOnvenes and finds the
registration booth blocking the en-
trance TO its rightful meeting place .

Throughout the country loyal
sons and daughters pay homage TO
the memories of those mothers who
have gone before and endeavor in

The emblem OF Mothers day is

SO popular in the United States. Miss
Jarvis had recently lost her own
mother and believed that many per
sons who had suffered the same loss
would appreciate the observation OF
special day on which all mothers
might be honOred.
In 1913 a resolution passed both
houses of congress commencing the
observance of the day by congress
and the executive departments OF
the government; and in the same
year Nebraska made il a state Flag
day in honor of the patriotism of
Nebraska's homes. In the follow
ing year congress authorized the
president of the United States to
designate, by annual proclamation,
the second Sunday in May as Moth
ers' day, and TO request the display
of the American Flag on govern
ment buildings and private homes
