NATIONAL GUARD IN
FRANCE BY WINTER
Militia Will Be Sent Abroad Ahead OF
Conscript Army-Choice
of Camps.

WASHINGTON, July 2l-Most of the |
National Guard of the United States will |
be in France before the end of the winter /
if transportation facilities enable the war
department to carry out its present pro
gram
The National Guard, or such of its
units as are equipped and trained for ac
tive service, will be sent to France in ad-
vance of the national army to join the
American expeditionary force under
General Pershing.
That program was announced by Mr.
Baker, secretary of war, in letter made
public at the war department, in which
he states the reasons for the establish
ment of National Guard cantonments in
the South
The exact language used by Mr.. Baker
in reference to the program IS as follows
1T is intended to send the National
| Guard, or such units thereof as are prop
erly equipped and trained, to Join the
American expedtonary force in France
before the additional forces authorized BY
the act above fthe selective draft law
now called the national army can be
sent"
Mr. Baker also said-
During the winter, if not before, it is
available for the despatch of most of the
National Guard to France"
There has been great deal of specula-
ition about the reasons which impellcd the
war department to select southern sites
for the cantonmcnts at which the Ma
tional Guard, and particularly those OF
its divisions from the north, were to be
trained for service at the front Some
lcriticism has been aimed at the locations
of the sites.
The explanation given BY Mr. Baker
will remove it is believed, all doubts
concerning the relative advantages o1
northern and southern sites to meet til,
eXigencies of the present situation.
When mobilization of the Nationa
Guard and the national army was fir,
determined upon it was not known how
$ soon the latter force could be assembled
j whereas the National Guard already wa
/ equipped and had received valuable train
c ing on the Mexican border. which woult
{ enable it to be ready for service il
$ France at comparatively an early date.
A Training and equipment would fit til
men for service. but as they would HAY
to remain in the United States unit
transportation facilities could be perfect
ed, and as it was not known when tha
could be accomplished, it was deemed al
! visablc to locate them in southern can
tonments Immediately. where climati
conditions vary little, rather than cstal
o ish them in the north, from which
would have been necessary to move ther
at the beginning of winter That woul
have involved unnecessary trouble an
Expense.

PROMOTING A
COMMUNITY CAMPAIGN

Mrs Leo. Shade, field secretary
for George Ellingwood JOY, the boy
specialist, was in consultation with
Supt. F. w. Johansen between trains
Monday, regarding Joy" campaign
for the school and community.
Mr.. Jay conducted thirty-two cam
paigns in Iowa high schools last sum-
mer, with most marvellous results.
Every superintendent is enthusiastic
over the work. Among the schools
in this vicinity, that held campaigns
are Red Oak, Guthrie Center and
| Denison.
Supt. Johansen has asked Mrs.
Shade to return and arrange a cam
paign if possible, for one week, about

said Mrs. Brown. Pardon me if l
seem bit instrusive in asking this
question but our club has been re-
quested to make survey of the town
and find out just how many babies
were born during the last year and
whether that number corresponds
with the registry at the court house. !"
II really don't know whether Bill
ly Boys birth is registered but have
always supposed that our doctor at
tended to that. Surely no one would
neglect anything quit so important"
Helen spoke the last sentence in a
higher key because she was so amazed
at the idea of her own precious baby
not being counted.
But you must remember that doc
tors are busy people and we have no
adequate law governing vital statis-
tics. No one seems to feel respon-
sible for the registration of births or
deaths so it is not always attended to.
Surveys in some towns show at least
25 per cent of the babies born last
year were not registered. This town
may do little better than that, but

GUARD CHARTS FROM ENEMY
Employees of photographic Office
Work at Top Speed in Turning Out
Maps for Naval Officials.

Employees of the photographic Of
flee in Washington are being driven at
top speed in turning out maps and
charts for the benefit of the naval Of
ficials. Special attention is being given
to the charts of harbOrS which have
been mined. Each chart that is pre-
pared shows the exact location Of the
mines. All told, there are some 1000
charts on which the office has been at
work since the severing of diplomatic
relations with Germany. 1t has been
found necessary to make minor
changes in many of the original charts
in the files of the office.
Every precaution is being taken to
prevent the charts from falling into
the hands of German agents or SYM
pathizers. The printers are required
to account for every sheet of paper
they use. If there is a slight in ac-
curacy in the Printing the damaged
sheet is destroyed. The printer, with
an official of the department as Il wit
ness, goes to the engine room and
throws the damaged sheet into the
fire.
