U. S. GUARDS Count
2 BATTALIONS NOW
New Branch of Service Being Rap
idly Organized.

United States Guards, a new branch
Of the national army, are being rap
idly organized, and two battalions
and four companies are already in
service. Many National Guardsmen
will be released for active duty
abroad by the new organization
which will take over the patrolIIng
Of bridges. government stores, and
manufacturing plants handling con-
tracts necessary to the conduct of
the war.
The two battalions now wearing the
uniform were formed in the Eastern
and Southern departments of the
army. Four more battalIons are he
ing recruited IN New England and khe
Central and Western States. At fun
strength. the Guard will count twen-
ty-fve battalions-775 officers and 15.-
600 men. The proportion Of officers
to men is greater than in other
branches Of the service. being seven
officers to $50 enlisted men. The War
Department has received over 10000
applications for the rs commissions.
The United States Guards will he
armed with Russian army rifles pro-
cured by the United States govern

Railroads ORDERED
To CUT INSURANCE
Protective Policies to Be Carried BY
Government, Is Plan.

Director General McAdoo yester-
day issued an order to all railroads
not to renew fire insurance and
other protective policies. with the
exception OF the liability bonds re-
auired of employees in responsible
positions. 1t is understood that in
the future the government will in
sure the railroad properties.
The order instructs the railroads
to organize inspection work which
has been done by representatives of
the insurance companies. The in
surance of the railroad property
can be met by a portion OF the $780,
100000 rotating fund administered
by Mr.. MCAdoo.
Announcement Is daily expected
of revised passenger rates. It Is
understood that increased costs in
labor. in material and in new equip
ment will bring about a deficit OF
between 100000. 900 and 81, 200, 0Ha,-
OOe in the finances OF the railroads
this year. To meet such deficit IT,
creases OF 25 per cent in passenger
and freight rates are being dis
cussed.
Already a revised list of railroad
passenger rates has been drawn up
and submitted to Director McAdoo.
In broad way it is understood that
the new list calls for a fiat rate of
cents a mile on all lines. 1t is not
believed that commuters would be
required to pay more than 1-2
cents a mile. A 25 per cent increase
in freight rates would bring the
railroads an added income of about
S700,0Oo.000 and a Scent passenger
rate would increase the income by
approximately $20O. 200. 900.

who SCARES KAISER?
ANSWER SUGGESTIVE
American Who Wanted to Take
Army. Says Pastor.

"Who is the one man in America Of
whom the Kaiser is most afraid?'
Without mentioning any names
whatever. Rev. James L. Gordon, pas
tor of the First Congregational
Church. In response to the above IN
quiry in his question drawer last
night, said he knew who the Kaiser
was afraid of, and IL that man
crossed the ocean and appeared on the
battlefield OF France at the head of a
regiment, as he wanted to do. 1t
would cause a spasm of fear TO course
up and down the spinal column Of the
German ruler to such an extent that
he could never recover from the
shock.
Everybody present realized at once
who was meant by DR.. Gordon's decla-
ration, and the large audience show
ed its approval by hearty applause.
He may be blind in one eye and
partially deaf in one ear" continued
Rev. Mr.. Gordon, but the Kaiser
knows that he Is the one man In all
the world whom he breads the most. I"
DR.. Gorddn spoke In praise of T. p.
OConnor. and declared that 1t was
England's duty to give ireland home
rule.

DENY LABOR'S PLEA
IN SENATE PROVISO
P. o. Employees Given Overtime in
Lieu of Time Of.

Ignoring the appeal Of organized
labor, the Senate yesterday insisted
on retaining in the Postoflce Appro-
priation bill the amendment allowing
Postoffice employees to accept over
time pay in lieu Of compensatory time
OF.
The amendment, introduced By Sen
ator Shafroth. Of Colorado. appears
on the face to be a concession to the
employees but they say not. The Ma
tional Federation OF Postal Employ
es. with headquarters In this city.
who are affiliated with the American
Federation Of Labor. protested to the
Senate against this amendment, bur
their protests went unheeded.
Some of the complaints voiced by
Postoffice employees against the
amendment indicate that the word
ELECT" in the amendment Is a
Joker" and really means nothing.
They have insisted that. IL the
amendment passed. they would in
variably have to work seven days
a week, because the department is
undermanned. The employees also
claim that the amendment nullifies
the Sunday compensatory time law.
which has been in operation FIVE
years, and insures employees at least
one day OF a week.
Because of the fact. says the en-
ployes. many of them would be COM
PEELED to accept overtime pay, in
lieu of time of, in order to make
ends meet, and thereby lower their
efficiency.

MEAT
REQUIREMENT
FOR YEAR 1919
Hoover ForeteIls to Thirty
eight States Representa-
tives Vast Demand.

Food Administrator Hoover. in an
address yesterday before State
merchant Representatives from
thirty-eight States. said that the
United States and Canada probably
would be called upon to export
three times as, much meat in the
coming year as was done in the
past twelve months. Enforced
slaughtering Of cattle abroad be-
cause of lack OF feed explained the
need for great meat exports from
this country. he said.
Lord Rhondda's Message.
A recent message from Lord
Rhondda who has retired as food
controller of England read. Bacon
is coming forward well. but all will
be needed to make up the defici-
ency of meat supplies which are
scarcely likely to meet the require
ments, even on the restricted basis
of existing compulsory meat ra-
tions."
Meat rations of the sailors in the
British mercantile marine have
been reduced so per cent. British
troops will attempt to do much to-
ward raising food stuffs near the
battlefelds this year, it Is reported.
Every military camp in England
will have a huge garden, and in ad-
dition $4,000 acres will be cultivated
in France, 1000 acres in Saloniki,
and approximately 100000 acres in
Mesopotamia, and large acres in
Palestine. Egypt and Cyprus. The
Mesopotamia yield is estimated at
$4,000 tons of wheat, 100000 tons
of barley, besides fair crops of
other grains. Last year the army in
Egypt produced 10000 tons of hay;
this year 1t is estimated that 424,-
900 tons will be raised. These
troops will also raise about 10s,-
900 tons OF barley.
Among the delegates at yester-
days meeting were George w. Nit
ton, and Earle Powers. of the Jor-
Company. of Boston. and
