NOT A HOME GUARD
Leeai Military Organization Prefers te
 Continue Independent.

From Lucien F. Burpee of the re- gently created military emergency board Of the state. Captain E. L. Dar- bic, who, is acting as instructor of the company that has been formed here to take military instruction and which has been granted the use of the state armory, has received am inquiry as to turning the. company into a Home Guard organization, as recently au- thorized by act of the legislature.
 This proposition will not be accept ed, 1t was announced Tuesday. Many of the members of the new organfxa- ton, which is purely voluntary, are qualified for enrolment in the regu- lar militia and do not come under the requirements for home guard organi- zations. Then. again, many of the men who took instruction last Thurs day night are not hankerinE after the probable police duty to which home guards will be put. If they are going Into any branch Of the service. they say. they are going with the militia companies. In any case, the home guards proposition doesn't appeal to most of those who are in the new company here.
