NATIONAL GUARD
 COMPANIES MAY BE
 LESS THAN 100 MEN
Great Difficulty Found in Many States in Getting
 Number Up to 100
ny HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington. August 12.-(Speciai) The War Department doesn't intend to kill the national guard organisa- ton simply because certain states can not recruit companies Of no fewer than 100
 The advisers of the department have recommended that no companies of less than 100 men be recognized. The department is very anxious that that recommendation be put into effect But the department will not follow the recommendation, as the advisers would have it, if thereby the national guard organization must die.
 There has been great trouble en- countered by authorities in Alabama in reorganizing the militia of that state. On account of the small popu- lation of certain sections, together with the comparative loss of morale incident to the close of the war, 1t has been found impossible to recruit com panies of 100 men. At the same timo, the War Department seemed to frown ous towns join together in forming companies.
 When the plight became serious, Ad- jutant General Moon appealed to Rep resentative Dent of Alabama, ranking democratic member of the house com mittee on military affairs. MT Dent an ardent believer in the citizen sol- diery, imm mediately discussed the prob
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-08-13

lem with the War Department. He was informed that the department was anxious that 100-men companies be formed. in that militia units might correspond with units of the regula~ establishment.
 At the same time, the department declared that if it be found impossible in Alabama to recruit companies of 100 men. companies Of 60 would be recognized
 MT Dents subsequent advice to the adjutant general was. in effect:
 Try to organize companies with 100 men. but fl you fail War Department agrees to recognize companies Of t' men"
 Other states have encountered diff faculties identical with those which have impeded progress in reorsaniza- tion in Alabama Senator Harris cf Georgia followed Mir. Dent to the de- partment with the same situation. He was advised as was Mir. Dent. As a result it is highly proba ble that corr panies of the guard throughout the United States will average less than 100 men. It is anticipated. however, that as soon as the effect of the war has worn off returned soldiers, to whom domestic peace service is now tame. will enlist in large numbers.
 There Is still under way the old fight of West Pointers against the national guard Despite the fact that the national guard distinguished itself during the war as greatly as the reg ular establishment, the college boys retain their contempt for civilians. Mir. Dent has recognized the existence of this spirit from the time he was

New York. August 12.--While actors. actresses and chorus girls were pa rading today through the financial district and the Rialto seeking support for the strike which has kept dark for nearly a week some of the brisht lights along the Great White Way. members of the producing managers association were yowing to win the battle or go down to financial de- feat
 'Everything that I have, and that is quite a little. is on the table in this fight was the declaration If George M Cohan at a meeting of the managers q will lose every dollar of it before will give in to the actors. I will run an elevator first"
 After the managers conference it was learned that attorneys for several of. them whose business has been dam. aged by the strike were making a search of tax rolls and property rec ords in counties adjoining New York to ascertain tn eextent of actors prop erty holdings preliminary to bringing suits for damages against the strikers The first step in this direction was taken yesterday by the Shuperts
 Charles C. Shay, president of the In ternational Alliance or Theatrical and Stage Employes, declared at a meet ing of strikers that if managers brought suits against the actors the stage hands will go into the fight or the side of the strikers The state ment also was made that George w.

FATE OF SHOALS
 DEPENDS ON BAKER
Friends of Alabama Project However, Feel Utmost
 Confidence in Decision
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, August 12.-(Special) W nile it is known that on Secretary
 Bakers visit following on the heels of the visits of his experts, the immediate fate of the enterprises at Muscle Shoals will depend, Senators Underwood and Bankhead and Representative Almon feel, instead of alarm, the greatest of assur- ance. While the secretary will of course be governed in his decision by what he thinks the nationss good, unofficially he has permitted friends of Muscle Shoals to know that he is not only deeply concerned but that in the projects he feels that he has something akin to proprietary in terest.
 As soon as the secretary returns he will make recommendations to the President It is believed that in the end. when the dam is constructed, the properties will be leased by the government to manufac- turers of fertilizer. In that event. leg islation will be prepared making it man eatory that such manufacturers retail their product at cost plus a narrow mar gin of profit.
 Secretary Baker seems to realize that the farmers are responsible for Muscle Shoals, and that they should be permit ted to buy it's products as cheaply as pos sible.

Sends Message to Hearin Expressing Hope of Being Able to Attend Bridge
 Dedication

Washington, August L.-(Special9 President Wilson today wired Jesse B. Hearin. president of the Chamber of Commerce of Demopolis, that he would continue to hope to be able to attend, 10 months from Thursday, the dedication of bridge spanning the Tombigbee river. and connecting sections of the Dixie overland highway.
 Senator Underwood called upon the President this morning to tell him that Demopolis would dedciate this bridge 10 months following the date of the rooster sale scheduled for Thursday and Friday He delivered to the President the invitation of Demopolis that he at tend the dedication. The President de- clared that he would certainly do so if it be possible. He so wired MT. Hearin.
 In his telegram the President declared anew his interest in the unique rooster sale, his approval of it. and his hope that it would result as brilliantly as it's ~spon- sors predicted Despite the assurance of F l. Derby. promoter of the sale. the President is whimseally skeptical that the scheme will produce a sum as large as $50, GOO He is hopeful but far from certain To him it doesn't appear pos sible However. he is humanly interested in speculating on the amount of money his nooster, the star attraction of the sale, will bring.
 Secretary Tumulty confded to news paper men the fact that the President Is more interested in the rooster sale than anything else at present before the lime light except, of course, the league of nations and the cost of living. The Presi- dent, according to his secretary, reads everything he encounters concerning the sale. and smiles or chuckles pleasantly over every new feature presented.
 Senator Underwood also wired Demopolis his interest in the undertaking and hope that it would culminate in unparalleled success. He is also speculating on the amount of money for which his rooster will ba tsl<uocEed off :"

a property tax to be applied to large corporations as well as to individuals; when you know that the great bulk of value lies in the products created by these industries, and when you know the great difficulty of getting at the real value of these interests by simply tax on their physical property, it seems to me that your advocacy of such prop erty tax shows an amazing indifference to the demands and requirements of the people at large for a genuine equaliza ton of the taxes. In advocating such a property tax for the big manufacturing industries as well as for the small land owners, or merchants, or laborers. you show either an indifference to real equal iZation CT a total lack of sympathy for the small property owners of the state for the poor! How have these great in- dustries been taxed and assessed in the past? Do you gentlemen know? If not will you stop and enquire? I declare to the people of Alabama that l am pro- foundly convinced that reasonable in- come and excess profits tax and a req sonable license tax, regulated by output of the coal and ore mining business, is the most reasonable and the most equitable tax that could possibly be de- vised I declare further, that you are not going to fool the people with your expression of extreme care for their in terests, but that thay will make their wishes known to their real representa- tives in the legislature so that any re- sponsibility for failure on the part of this legislature to consider and meet the requirements of the people for the edu- cation of the children of the state, and for a living wage for the teachers; for better care of the old soldiers; for the better care of the moral and mental de- linquents; for the proper care of the insane and the feeble minded; for bet ter facilities for the education of the deaf, the dumb and the blind: for bet ter roads and for better protection of the health of the people, shall be clearly and definitely fixed where it belongs.

Montgomery, August 12. Especially = Governor Kilby, seeing the handwriting on the wall, has taken to letter writ ing. That is, he is handing out prepared statements in which he attacks all who op- pose his revenue bill.
 In thousand-word statement, which he designates as an open letter, given out today he takes to task the business men of the state who met in Montgomery last Wednesday night to protest against the income and excess profits tax. The advertisement the committee appointed at that meeting caused to be inserted in the newspapers last Sunday morning has worked nightly on his sensibilities. He protests that the men who assembled at the statewide meeting on August 6 rep resent only themselves and are not work. ing in the interest of the people for whose support he makes a strong plea While the advertisements about which he complains made no reference to the
