HOME GUARDS WILL SERVE
Approval BY Governor To Proposal To
Establish Home Guards
Situation Serious.

Columbus.-Full sanction for the es-
tablishment of home guards in Ohio
cities has been given by Governor
James M. Cox in the name of the state.
Not only will the cities have the assur-
ances that approval is given to volun-
tary organization, drilling and equip
ment, but promise is made that in the
event OF emergency the guards will be
called upon to act, it being understood
that such action will be only in the
line of national defense
These things developed at confer
ence between the Governor, Adiutant
General Wood, Mayor Harry L. Davis,
of Cleveland; Benjamin P. Bole, of the
| Cleveland Chamber of Commerce; for
mer Lieutenant Governor William A.
Greenlund, and Captain H. P. Shupe,
formerly of the celebrated Cleveland
Grays. The Cleveland committeeman
placed before the chief executive init
mate facts regarding conditions in that
city which, to their mind, necessitated
the establishment of a strong home
guard ready to cooperate with the reg.
ular troops or police in emergencies
growing out of the war.
These conditions are entirely pecul.
lar to cities having the mixed popula.
tion of Cleveland and other great in
dustrial centers, where there are diff
ferent standards of political belief than
those found in the other parts of the
state. So delicate were the matters
of which he was compelled to speak
that Mayor Davis and Governor Coz
withdrew from the session room of the
executive chambers and held a meet
ing in secret

OHIOANS CHEER WAR ENJOYS
come When Paying Visit
at Capital.

Columbus.-Ohio's welcome to the
visiting French War Mission, Marshal
of France Joseph Joffre and Minister
of Justice Viviani, in Columbus proved
an occasion never to be forgotten by
the thousands upon thousands of Ohio
ans who witnessed the successive fea-
lures of the demonstrative reception
The Red, White and Blue of two ma.
tions, the United States and France
waved in wild enthusiasm, shouts and
prolonged cheers rang in their ears
and to them by the chosen representa-
tive of the state, the Governor, was
expressed in an official way the faith
of Ohio in the righteousness of their
cause.
Difficulties Of language were over
come in conveying the message of the
heart. Although the Commissioners
do not speak or understand English
and although the throngs did not un
derstand their responses, the spirit Of
greetings was conveyed in the friendly
shouts and in the sympathetic tones.
Throughout the greeting, simplicity
was observed. In welcoming the Com
mission Governor Cox was interrupted
by wild applause and a sea of waving
French and American flags. They
came out first by scores and then by
hundreds, and the cheering was thun
derous.
