NO MORE GUARD UNITS
TO BE TAKEN IN ARMY
War Department Orders Disband-
ment Of Minnesota Artillery
Regiment.

Indication that the War Department
has decided not to accept any addi-
tional National Guard units in the
forces sent abroad was seen today in
an order telesraphed to the Governor
Of Minnesota. instructing him to dis
band the I'd Minnesota Artillery. Tho
Minnesota authorities were anxious to
have this unit in service as concrete
evidence of the loyalty Of the districts
in which 1t was formed.
All National Guard units in ex-
istence at the outbreak of war were
taken Into the federal service. Many
units have been formed since and
some have offered their services to the
government for the war.
The order sent today was the second
upon the same subject. compliance
with the first having been deferred
while Secretary Baker was besourht
to countermand 1t. Mr.. Baker, how
ever. followed his usual policy Of
backing his military advisers.
