NATIONAL GUARD
BEING SET UP
System to Be Reconstructed
by Order of the War
Department
SEVEN REGIMENTS
ARE AUTHORIZED
Four of These Will Be in
New York, Two in Ohio,
One in New Jersey

Washington, d. c., April 23,--Reeon-
situation of the National Guard was ae-
tually started to-day when the war de-
partment, through the bureau Of mill
tia affairs, authorized the organization
of seven regiments and one extra battal
ion of infantry, one squadron of cavalry
and Is companies Of coast artillery.
The state of New York was authorized
to raise four regiments of infantry, one
squadron of cavalry and II companies of
coast artillery. New Jersey was author
lied to organize one regiment of infan-
try and two companies of coast artil.
lery; Ohio two regiments of infantry,
and Oregon one battalion of infantry and
four companies of coast artillery.
These new units are intended to re-
place state troops, which under section
81 of the national defense act, cannot
be legally maintained by the states in
time Of peace. That section prohibits the
maintenance of any troops except those
prescribed in the act-regulars and Ma
tional Guard.
Other authorizations for units are ex-
pected TO follow soon The states first
considered were those in which condi-
tions were such that their governors CON
sidered armed forces might be necessary
under certain contingencies. The state
OF Pennsylvania, for instance, reported
to the war department that II possessed
at this time state constabulary and 5000
state troops, sufficient to handle any
emergency which could be foreseen at
this time.
The units authorized to-day must be
in such state of organization before
June 80 as to be eligible for federal rec
ognition, if the war department. is to ex-
tend financial aid. The organizations
wiz all be based on peace status with
65 men as minimum.
'It should be clearly understood said
the message sent to the state governors,
shat the war department does not call
for the organization Of National Guard
at the present time, but leaves initia.
tion of its organization with the state
authorities, and it Is not desired to antici-
pate the action of Congress in the formu-
lation of the national military policy;
nor is ii believed TO be desirable to un-
dertake the general reorganization OF the
National Guard prior TO the demobilizs-
tion of the former National Guard units
from the United States army"

And Then Counsel for Respondent Put in
Motion That Previous Verdict of
Manslaughter Presupposes Warm
Not Guilty of Greater Crime
of Murder.

S. Alhans. April 23s--Not until iis50
a. m. to-day was jury secured in
Franklin county court to hear the case
OF State VS.. Robert Warm, charged with
the murder of Jennie Hemingway, aged
IA, in this city on Aug. IL, 1917. A
regular panel Of 32 jurymen, special
panel of 40 jurymen and five Of an addi-
tional panel of 2s, summoned this morn
ing, were exhausted before the II men
were selected.
Eight Of the IL are farmers or retired
farmers, and they were ne follows: Dan
iel Larock of East Berkshire, s. u. Glad
den OF Swanton, +. j. Griffin Of Fletcher,
l. V. Spooner of North Sheldon, Allied

Georgia, b. w. Pease Of Montgomery,
+. D. Smith of Fairfax, II. T. Suter of
Swanton, b. FL. Wood Of Georgia, w. G.
Messier of Montgomery and Ray Hog
aboom of Swanton.
After the oath had been administered
and the indictment had been read, Judge
S. G. Wilson excused the jury while he
heard the argument of G. g. Austin,
senior counsel for Warm, that as a YER
dict of manslaughter was returned
against the respondent at a former trial
that automatically was a verdict that
represented the respondent as not guilty
of the higher degree Of crime of murder
in the first or second degree. Judge Will
son took the matter under adyisement
and announced that he would rule on the
motion this afternoon.

EXPLAINED S. A. CAMPAIGN
Which Is to Be Conducted in Barre from
May le to 26.

Last evening in Howland hall, the
plans for the Salvation Army home serv-
ice fund campaign, to be waged in Barre
from May 10 to 20, were discussed be-
fore several Barre people. L. s. Gates
was appointed as chairman Of the com
mittee to superintend the eanvassing in
this city. This drive is not confined to
Barre alone but the whole United States
is involved and Sl3,000,000 is the quota
set by the national headquarters com.
mittee to be raised in this country The
New England quota is $2.2S0,000, This
method is being adopted to raise money
that the old tambourine custom may
be abandoned and no more solicitation
of money take place except one drive
each year, Christmas week and mission
airy week.
n b. Crittenden, the Salvation Army
state organizer who was sent here from
the national headquarters in New York.
spoke briefly of the good work accom-
plished by these militant Salyationists
daily, mentioning the educational sys-
tenn adopted for the benefit of the chill
dren in the slums of large cities He
described very interestingly various in
stances regarding numerous tasks accom-
plished for the welfare of the very needy
by these workers who reach those be-
yond the grasp of churches. All over
the world, in 81 different countries,
100000 Salvationists are engaged in
this work
Mr. Crittenden said in conclusion that
the workers of this organization did not
aim for popularity for what they did
for the lads in the trenches but the work
was only what had been going on for
the past so years And it was because
the eyes of the world were centered upon
the boys that it won praise now.

SwINDLED OUT OF $1,000,
Bellows Falls Man Was Allowed to Keep
Box Containing $4,000"

Bellows Falls, April 23.-The police
are investigating the complaint of an
alleged him-flam victim. His name is
Michael Monobel, and he is employed by
the Boston & Maine railroad at it's round
house. Monobel, who is an Italian, al
leges that two of his fellow countrymen
came to Bellows Falls recently and told
him Of a plan for making plenty of mon
ey quickly. He says they carried wood
en- box in which was a big roll Of bills.
He thinks the roll contained $4,000
The men told him that they would
like to have him take care of the money
for them for few days and they would
pay him well for his trouble. They also
told him that if he would let them take
what money he had they could easily
double il for him in q short time. Mono
bel handed them four 500 Liberty bonds
and 5000 in cash and took the box which,
as he supposed, contained the big roll of
bills.
One of the two visitors Immediately
left town and Monobel passed the night
with the other at local hotel The sec
ond man left the next day. When Mono
bel examined his box he found it was
filed with scraps of paper and three 81
bills. Why the film -hamers were so care
less with their money as to leave the
three dollar bills in the box is mys-
terry
The police are making inquiries but so
far have not been able to get any trace
Of either the money or the two visitors.

PRESENTS CREDENTIALS
New American Ambassador to France
Speaks of His Great Opportunity.

Paris, Tuesday, April 22.-Hugh G..
Wallace, American ambassador to
France, in presenting his credentials to
President Poincare to-day, said that in
addition to comforting peace upon the
world, 1t was necessary to unite the peo-
pie in support of it. Mr.. Wallace said:
"Mr. President: / have the honor to
present to your excelleney the letters
which accredit me as ambassador extra
ordinary and plenipotentiary of the
United States to the French republic
am, indeed, honored, for | come at the
end of the world war to salute victorious
France in the name of the American
people. In that struggle Frenchmen and
Americans fought side by side until the
final victory was won on French soil un-
der French command; and Paris, for a
time the capital of the world, is now
witnessing the erection of the temple Of
peace.
"We hope to dedicate that temple in
the name of the league of nations, and
make it its home; for the great war
which was fought in the defense of civil
ization should be the last conflict of
mankind. When victory came it was
complete and the peace which is to fol-
low should be enduring. 1t is now the
task of the allied nations to confer that
peace upon humanity, but first to unite
the world in spite of it. At that labor,
and the great task of reconstruction,
France and America, one in aim and
principle, are working with united en-
ergy.
II am fortunate, Mr.. President, to
come to you at such time for my OPP
portunity is great. Great also is my
responsibility, but my task itself should
be easy. The deeds we have done and
are yet to do together need no inter-
pretation Words fall from our lips in
different accents, but as friends and al
lies, in war and peace, we speak the
common language of the heart"

Premiers Clemenceau and
Lloyd George and Presi-
dent Wilson To-day Took
Up Consideration of Ques-
tions Concerning Japan
and China, Italy Not Be-
ing Represented in the
Conference.

Paris, April 23.-Premier Orlando
threatened to return to Italy to-day un-
less there is satisfactory adjustment
of the Fiume and Dalmatian questions.
Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain
is trying to persuade the Italian leader
to remain in Paris longer, while he con-
tinues his efforts to reconcile the oppos-
ing viewpoints.
An early settlement of the difficulties
is consequently thought to be impossible,
especially as President Wilson is under
stood to be equally as firm as the Italian
representatives..
With Premier Orlando still absent,
Premiers Clemenceau and Lloyd George
and President Wilson resumed this
morning the consideration Of questions
concerning China and Japan.
Premier Lloyd George tried unsuccess-
fully during the discussion last night to
reconcile the viewpoints of President
Wilson and Premier Orlando on the Ital-
ian situation, it became known to-day
Paris, April 23.The facts of the dead
lock over the Italian claims in the Adri-
attic, according to the Petit Parisien, are
as follows:
President Wilson proposed that Fiume,
which is not mentioned in the treaty of
London, should be free city, but at
taehed to the Jugo-Slav customs system
and, further, that the London treaty
IL - faI - ,&ol ,asN
Italy refused to accept this proposal,
whereupon President Wilson withdrew,
leaving Italy alone with the representa-
tives of the other signatories of the
treaty During the meetings of the rep
resentatiyes OF the signatories both Pre-
mier Orlando and Foreign Minister Son
nino were most conciliatory, Orlando,
especially. having asked repeatedly on
what conditions France and Great Brit
ain would consent to give Fiume to Italy.
Baron Sonnino said he was ready to dis
cuss a revision of the London treaty.
However, President Wilson, who,
while he was not present at the meet
ings, kept in touch with them, then
wanted to reopen the question of the
treaty of London, but without joining
the revision to the fate of Fiurne. The
president has receded from his first pro-
posal to make Fiume free city and is
inclined to give it absolutely to the
. Jugo-Slavs.
As to Premiers Clemenceau and Lloyd
George, they are understood to be ready
to adhere practically and simply to the
treaty of London, at the same time seek
ing means of concliation
