HOME GUARDS ID BE
 OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED
State Council of Defense Ap- pointed Four of Its Members to Make Investigation of the Governors Powers.

Little Rock, Sept. 22.-The Home Guard organizations of the state are to be given an official standing. Since the declaration of war, Gov. Brough. Gen. England and the State Council of Defense, have had under earnest consideration the question of recoc- nlzlng these organizations, for the purpose of service with the state, under order of the governor, in the event of any domestic outbreak, in- surrection or disorder. The problem has been serious one, and afttr ma ture consideration, the State Council appointed four attorney members of the body, J. w.. House, Jr., Durand Whipple, Frank Pace and Wallace Townsend, to make an investigation of the governors powers in the prem ises and they offered the following as the only solution:
 "1st-That the Home Guards organ ized throughout the state be requested to complete the organization so as to have at least one company in each county; that the men enlisted in the Home Guards should be between the ages of IS and 45 years. However. if members of the Home Guard desire to volunteer and offer their services, this age limit is not bar.
 "2nd-That these companies are requested to select all commissioned officers and certify same to the adju- tant generals office, and thereupon commissions to these officers as off cers in the Reserve Militia of the state of Arkansas, will be issued signed by the governor and Adjutant Gen. Lloyd England
 That these companies be instruct ed to adopt some name by which they may be known, for instance, the Home Guards of Pulaski county.
 That these companies be requested to provide themselves with shot guns and adopt some insignia, or some style of uniform so that they may be easily recognized.
 When this is done these companies can he mustered in as Reserve Militia, and at any time their services are needed they can be called out when ever the governor may deem it neces- sary to preserve the peace and laws of the state"
 Acting on this advice, the governor will take immediate steps to recog- nize the Home Guard and to provide regulations for their organization. All correspondence concerning them should be had with the adjutant gen. aral, and the commissions will be is- sued from his office. Over sixty com panies have been approved so far, and it is earnestly requested that there be at least one in each county.
