I'VE shall not realize what the war

character of wounding that is so hor-

Units Not Authorized by Gov

WASHINGTON, May Warning
against attempts i'm any state to or
Eanize new units of the national guard
which do not accord with the organ
iZation plan for the guard approved
by President Wilson was given today
by the war department. As it stands
the guard is deficient in artillery, sig
nal, engineer and other special serv-
ice troops in proportion to the num-
ber of infantry regiments. Specific
instructions have been given to the
adiutant generals to the units of each
arm of the service for which each
state will be held responsible and in
this connection the departments state
ment says:
notwithstanding such action. some
states have undertaken the organiza-
tlon of units which cannot be utilized
In the formation Of complete, higher
tactical units. While It is much to bo
desired TO take full advantage of the
patriotic interest stirring in the
country, such advantage can only
come thru coordination and regu-
lation in keeping with the general
and basic plan"
The department requests that per-
sons interested in raising new nation
al guard units confer with the ad-
iutant general Of their state in order
to determine what branch of the serv-
ice should be augmented
