| have not made an extensive search
along this line, but it is my impress
sion that heretofore there has been
no necessity for such organization
and, therefore, no statute has been
formulated to provide for the same.
Such organization without being un-
der legal control would be of very lit
tie service, and to be of real value
in case of serious trouble it should
be organized along the same lines
that the national guard companies of
the state are organized, with officers
commissioned by the governor, with
statutory authority to control the
atcion of the members of the organi-
cation when called into service, and
also when called upon to drill or other
purposes. The qualifications for men,
bership in this organization should
not conflict with the qualifications for
enlistment in the national guard or
regular army, as this organization
should be composed of persons who
are not subject to national military
duty. Other details touching the
duties of companies organized thus
their authority to act as an armed
force should, or course, be figured out
in detail, and provided for.
Judging by the present restless.

| ty. / am sure that organizations OF
this kind will do an immense amount
of good in lettering unpleasant Incl
dents that might otherwise occur, and

mob violence, and probable invasion

in other like conditions it would be

the liberty Of writing you in regard to

same meets with your approval that
you confer with the state military
authorities and prepare for passage
at this session of the legislature a
bill which will cover fully this propo-
sition. would suggest that it be
| specifically provided that no such
company could be organized without

1t further provides that upon re-
fusal of the board of public instruc-

the teachers request to be retired,
application may be made, and when
the necessary proof of service is

A law requiring the flying of the

by it's author, Senator Hughlette. is

COUNTY BOARD IN
PLEDGES SUPPORT
THE PRESIDENT

At the regular meeting of the coun-
ty commissioners yesterday morning
at the court house a resolution was
passed pledging the support of the
members of the board, individually
and as body, to the president, the

tons that have been taken.
The resolution reads:
Whereas, The president of the
United States, on April 2, 1917, APP
peared before and addressed the con-
gress of the United States with ref
erence to state of war existing be-
tween the imperial government of
Germany and the United States, by
reason of the aggressive and wifful
acts on behalf of the imperial gov
eminent of Germany towards the
United States in sinking merchant
ships and destroying lives without
notice, thus violating not only the
principles of humanity, killing per-
sons and endangering lives and de-
stroying property, but violating all
the rules of international law, and
the established principle of the right
of search and seizure, and whereas,
the submarine policy of the imper-
ial government of Germany is men
ace to civilization, and the congress
of the United States has declared a
state ,of war existing between the
United States and the imperial gov
eminent of Germany, it is the duty
I, of every citizen of the United States
of America to stand for the princi-
| pies of right and justice as enunci-
ated by President Wilson in his mas
terly address to the congress of the
United States, therefore
Be 1t Resolved, By the board of

proval of his action in this behalf

/ dent and the congress and govern
ment of the United States in the ac-
ton taken.

arrived in great numbers. The build
ings in which the explosions occurred
caught fire and were destroyed.
Charred bodies were pulled from
the wreckage and injured persons
were picked up and taken to Chester,
a mile away. The two main hospitals
of the city were soon filled and others
injured were taken to the fifth regi-
ment armory and frame tabernacle.
No official of the company was
found who could tell anything about
the explosion. There were whispers
of a plot to destroy the plant.
The plant was originally construct
soon after the European war started
by Baldwin Locomotive works. Re
Gently it was taken over by the Rus
sian government which had been en-
ploying about 10000 people making
shells. .-.E
The place has been thoroughly
guarded night and day and after

cry portion of the ground as light as
day. In addition secret service men
and detectives worked in the various
departments disguised as munitions
makers.
At the undertaking place of Coro-
ner White there are eighty bodies,
seventy nine being those of girls.
Thousands of girls were employed
at the plant, most of them coming
from Philadelphia, ten miles away
