NATIONAL GUARD
BILL IS REFERRED
TO SUBCOMMITTEE

Before the Senate Military Commit
tee today. arguments in behalf OF the
bill OF Senator Chamberlain to amend
the national guard laws To provide for
the organization Of the proposed new
guard in the District VI Columbia were
presented.
Gen. X. d. simms. Major f. Les
ter Jones and Capt. Winfield Jones
appeared as a committee in behalf OF
the bill. General SiTnms spoke FOR
tho measure. The Committee on Mill
tar.y Affairs did not act finally on the
bill and the chairman was authorized
to name a subcommittee to consider it.
Possibility OF opposition wns seen in
remarks Of Senator Weeks, who thought
il unwise TO form new national guard
organic tons as a precedent, lest Il be
sought 10 continue these after the war.
He held that after war, the country
would want an improved military s.'s-
TEN. with probable universal training.
Senator Reed upheld the effectiveness
Of the guard
1t was at the suggestion Of Senator
Weeks that II was decided to name
subcommittee which is TO give es-
pecial consideration TO the wisdom OF
the policy OF establishing or perpetual
ting national guard organizations.
Senator Weeks does not want guard
organizations formed now which will
block going TO a new and improved
system when the war ends. However.
he said later he thought IL possible
the guard might be formed here as a
temporary measure.

stoves could be set up in certain
streets or in Potomac Park and mess

Citizens OF Washington and Balti-

Baker is also in favor OF allowing
the people to see what six months in
national cantonment has done for
the men. and the city which first
adopts the billeting plan, solving the
problem of accommodations, will see

today In the Berlin announcement
that a peace treaty has been con-

The German government promised
10 give military aid to Finland such
As was given to Ukrainia, and al
ready German forces may be moving
through Finland.
It is known that the Aland Islands
have been occupied, and that strong
German naval forces are in Finnish
waters.
It is reported that the Russians
Baltic Sea fleet has taken refuge at
Kronstadt and Viborg. the latter be-
Ing a Finnish port.
; Should the Germans occupy Hell

AID to the new republican govern
ment of Finland. they would be in
positIont o move against Petrograd
along the HeIsiugfors-Petrogr rail-
Kay. CThe two cities are about 10
miles apart.)
: Germany's military plans south of
Petrograd have mot yet been re-
Vealed. There is apparently a strong
disposition in Petrograd to believe
that Won Hindenburg intends TO &C.
eupy the city. II possible.
Late dispatches from various
sources indicated that the Germans
were rearranging their lines between
Reval and Petrograd. Just where the
German front stands IS uncertain,
but the general belief is that It Is in
the neighborhood Of Narva, eighty
one miles southwest OF Petrograd.
Although Russian farmers are
back at work, the food situation in
that country is critical, according to
Charles L Preston, a New England
shoe manufacturer, who returned to-
day from Vladivostok, where he went
on a special mission for the Bureau
OF Foreign and Domestic Commerce Of
the Department Of Commerce.
The Russian farms are being
worked, but only at a capacity to
produce sufficient for the farmers
themselves TO live in luxury. They
refuse to sell their products BEG Use
Of the marked depreciation ofShe
ruble. For the same reason there is
n marked business stagnation
throughout the country, said NJ. Pres
ton. The transfer of money by the
banks from one city to another is pro-
hibited, and no depositor is allowed to
draw more than $50 rubles-in nor
NAL times about $125-at a time.
Mr.. Preston, who went to Russia
primarily to study leather conditions,
said that there was little encourage
Inent for shipments OF hides and skins
70 the United States in the near
future. Raisers are not allowed to
slaughter their calves for a period OF
ahree years. and only small quantities
of other hides are being bartered by
dhe raisers. The old stocks, he said,
are being held by spectators in store
