NOT FREED FROM
DRAFT LIABILITY

Men within the draft age who Join
national guard organizations now be-
ing formed in several States are sub
ject to call for duty with the national
army, the War Department ruled to-
day.
Protests from governors who ask
ed that men joining new organiza-
tions Of State militia be exempted
from the draft In order to encourage
enlistments Of Susrdsmen were re-
sponded to by the department refer
ring to the selective draft law which
provides only for exemption Of mem-
bers of national guard organization
prior to the nrst call Of the national
army.
Efforts will be made by governors
at the coming session of Congress to
have the draft law amended to re-
lease from liability men who Join
new units OF the national guard. The
protests to the War Department as
sert that little difficulty will be ex-
perienced In recruiting new national
guard companies IL assurance Is
given the men that they will be
called into the Federal service as or
Eanizations instead of Individually.

Baker VIII Allow
Pershing to Name
D. S. Fighting Units

Secretary Of War Baker today said
he'd leave to General PershinE the
question Of giving American fighting
units In France distinctive names.
Baker was asked whether he favored
naming all units after the manner OF
the ''Clemenceau Battalion" SO named
by General Sihert In honor OF the
well-known French statesman.
sibert gave the unit this name after
Clemenceau had reviewed the troops.
His action has started q movement
to name all the American units. II
Pershing approves, this probably will
be done. The War Department will
leave It to him.
General Pershing can work that
out" said Baker. IF he thinks Il will
increase the fighting morale Of his
men. no doubt he will have them
named
The idea OF the movement Is that
men Of regiment with q distinctive
name will go to greater lengths to
win laurels for their units. and do
more to keep that name untarnished,
than men who are mere coEs In q
numbered unit with nothing but It's
number to distinguish It from other
units.

GREATER PROFITS TAXES
COMING, SAYS CLARK

Raising money" That is Speaker
Clark's terse answer to the question:
what will be the chief work at the
next session OF Congress. However"
he said. II think we will not raise as
much as We did last session-s2l .OOO.-
100000. The ships we paid for, the
aircraft we authorized. and a lot of
the guns and military material We
bought won't have to be duplicated.
But therell be enough to raise to
keep us busy. I think we'll have
about a fifty-ffty split on taxes and
bonds" This will necessitate greater
profits taxes. The present ratio Is
about sixty-ive-thirty-fiv with
bonds on the long end.

QUANTICOMAR|NES
TRAIN FOR NIGHT
WORK IN TRENCHES

Marines at the Quantico (va-)
camp are being trained for night
fighting in the trenches of France.
Secretary OF the Navy Daniels re-
vealed this fact after q visit OF in
spection at the Quantico camp. The
marines are being trained to oper-
ate machine guns blindfolded so that
they may fire by touch in the pitch
dark OF the trenches.
The failure Of the United States
army patrollIng forces to stop Villas
raid on Columbus was laid to jam
ming machine guns The soldiers
had not learned to operate the guns
at night This led to Pershing's ex-
petition into Mexico.
Repetition Impossible.
The training given the marines-and
i is assumed the same training is being
given the army machine gun units-will
make a repetition OF the Columbus
gun jamming impossible.
While Secretary Daniels and Maj.
Gen. George Barnett. marine corps
were reviewing the ma
rines, they were literally bombarded
with I4-inch shells hred from the
naval proving ground at Indion Head.
After the first loud explosion and
as a she'll dropped in the Potomac off
Quantico. the Secretary was assured
that the ordnance officials at In
dian Head had an accurate range and
that there was no danger OF any OF
the shells falling within the marine
camp.
Secretary Daniels assured the ma
rines that every man jack OF them
had an opportunity to win a commits
sion in the service. All future COM
missioned vacancies are to be filled
by promotion of men from the ranks,
except such places as are filled by
Annapolis graduates.
