to be added to the present equipment
of the Americus Fire Department, is
expected to arrive not later than April

tua1 tests have shown that even this

NEWSPAPERS ASKED
TO BAN INFORMATION
To Be Used For
Protection In
The Land

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 20
Twenty additional complete infantry
regiments and five additional separate
battalions of National Guard troops
were ordered into service for the pro-
lection of property in the event of hos
tile internal disorders today. These
troops have been called out in eigh-
teen of the western and middle west
eTn states, and were not included in
tie orders issued Sunday.
The war department has determined
rto to disclose the specific industries
1r other points to be guarded, and
newspapers have been rquested not to
publish this information.
A step taken as a national duty. IS
the task of protecting American in
dustries from domestic disorders i'll
the event of hostilities. For this pur-
gose eleven full infantry regiments,
two separate battalions and one sepa-
rate company of the national guard
were on Sunday called back into the
federal service to act as national po-
lice in important districts. Supple
menting these troops a regiment of
Pennsylvania guardsmen and two COM
panies of Georgia Infantry, attached
to the First Georgia regiment, now en-
route home from the border for mus
ter out, were ordered retained in the
f. deral service.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-03-26

A movement that is rapidly gaining
headway in this city has for its object
the arrangement of a reception, gen
eral jollifcation and barbecue in honor
or the return of the Americus Light
Infantry from the Mexican border.
The guardsmen are expected to ar
rive in Macon not later than Tuesday,
if the present plans are not altered /;
the troops will be mustered out of the
federal service within a few days.
Company l would then return to Amer
icus, after an absence of almost ~
months.
Secretary P. A. Fenimore, of tS"e
Chamber of Commerce, has written to
Col ]. A. Thomas, commanding the
Second Georgia regiment, inquiring as
to the exact date when the Americas
company will be mustered out. This
letter will reach Col Thomas on his
arrival in Macon and an immediate re-
ply is expected.
When this information has been re-
ccived, the date for the celebration
will be definitely fixed, but in the
meantime the plans for the event will
be carried forward and all prepara-
tions made for the Homecoming of the
guardsmen.
The present plans for the welcome
to be accorded the boys of Company
l include public demonstration and
reception at the railroad station on the
arrival of the troop train from Macon,
to be followed by a barbecue at which
the Americus Light Infantry will be
tie guests of honor.
Funds for the barbecue must be
raised without delay, and the Times
Recorder will gladly receive all con-
tributions for this purpose, turning the
cash over to Secretary Fenimore, "
the Chamber of Commerce, who will
have charge of the arrangements.
There is no need to urge the neces-
sity for immediate action in this MAJ
ter, or the propriety of giving a public
reception in honor of the returning
guardsmen. Americus citizens feel u
justifable pride in the Americus Light
Infantry and although thus far there
has been no definite movement to ar
range a general jollification on their
return, the present developments
should be sufficient to secure all nee
essary cooperation.
