WAR DEPT. RULING
WIPES OUT PRE-
WAR NAT. GUARD

Washington, Dec. .4-An opinion
Of the Judge Advocate Generals
office, approved by the secretary Of
war, holds that officers and enlisted
men Of the National Guard will re-
vert to civilian status when dis
charged from the federal service.
The effect Of the ruling is practical
~ to wipe out Of eXistance the Ma
tional Guard as it was organized
prior to the war.
The practice of the War Depart
ment since rehabilitation began has
been TO honOrably discharge men pr
the National Guard from the ser
vice just as regular and National
army men are discharged to return
to peace time persuits. If this We're
done in every case, the cause would
he TO end the eXistance Of nearly eN-
cry guard unit in the Country eX-
cept few organized after the guard
was drafted into Federal service.
Mastering out OF units without
discharges may make reorganiza-
ton unnecessary. This undoubted-
w will be insistentiy sought, par
ticularly in The case Of famous guard
organizations with treasured his
tories and traditions There has
been no announcement as yet Of the
department policy.
When federation Of TIE National
Guard was enacted il the National
defence act of 1916. a dual oath of
allegiance for the members Of that
service was required. allegiance 70
the state government being sworn
by officers and men alike. Every
National Guard unit in the Coun-
try was required to subscribe TO
thos oath.
The language Of The National dc
fence act. however, is specific in
stating that when the National
Guard draft has been applied by the
President the members Of the guard
then are DISCHARGED from the militia
Of the country. The purpose aimed
at was 10 make the national guard
after draft a force that could be en-
ployed outside the country which
could not be done under the consti-
tuition while its members remained
in the militia
