No National Guards.
Must Be Reorganized

Washington, Dec EFF congress
determined to continue the national
guard as the army reserve of the ma
ton, Secretary Baker said today, the
guard service will have to be recon-
structed from the ground up. Fed
er~alization of the guard for war SER
vice, the war department had held,
on the opinion of Brigadier General
Samuel T. Ancell, acting judge advo-
cate general, will wipe out of exis-
tence the federalized regiments.
When the men are discharged they
will return to civilian life without
any obligation either to the federal
or state governments to continue in
national guard service.
Mr.. Baker expressed a belief that
the problem of the national guard
is bound up closely with the question
of what congress may do later in
framing legislation to establish a per-
manent military policy. Existing law
provides for the regulars and the ma
'tional guard. Should some system Of
universal military training be worked
out, however, army officers say, it is
probable that the national guard
would cease to exist. The war de-
partment has not yet made any re-
commentators on tine subject. having
contented itself thus far with seeking
appropriations only in the coming I'm
ancial year.

ONLY
PEACE DELEGATES
Representatives Of Other Countries
Have Not Arrived

Paris, Dec. 26.-The personnel. or
the peace congress gradually is TAX
ing form, so that the American dele
gates express the hope that the vari-
Gus countries delegates will be an
nounced and the delegates arrive for
the actual commencement OF the ne
gotiations soon after the opening OF
the New Year.
A number of the main details of the
composition of the congress are now
fairly well settled as a result of recent
conferences These indicate that the
total membership of the congress will
be between 100 and 40. Twenty-sev-
en- countries will be represented by
delegations, including those which
declared war and a number which
have come into existence as a result
of the war.
The great powers, notably Great
Britain, France, the United States and
Italy, each have allotted five delegates
while the other delegations will vary
from one to four members, according
to the size of the country and the in
terests involved.
Word has been received that the
Belgian and Portuguese delegations
will join the representatives OF the
United States. who thus far are the
only members OF the peace congress
to arrive. The n%on-arrival Of the
others has been the subject OF o n
siderable surprise and adverse COM
ment, the Americans taking the
ground that they are here ready to
proceed to business, but with the per-
sonnet of the congress not yet IN
nounced. 1t Is understood that Presi-
dent Wilson's visit to England is like
ly to result in conveying quite defin-
itely the view that 1t is highly desir-
able that the congress should be put
into motion with the least possible
delay.

1t is not SO very cold here for most
of the time we are able to get around
without any overcoat. And since the
armistice we have had no rain. 1t Is
a rather remarkable coincidence that
before the armistice we had continual
rain while now the weather is dry and
the sun shining every day. ! believe
that after all the old saying that heavy
firing will bring on rain is true.

War Savings Stamps
New Series for 1919

A complete detailed plan for the
1919 Government Savings Stamps
campaign is being formulated and will
be ready for announcement next week.
An intensive educational campaign for
thrift will be conducted, the aim being
to increase intelligent saving and in
yestment in Government Securities.
The Treasury regulation Of special
interest at the moment is that the
War Savings Stamps series OF 1918
shall not be affixed to Val Savings
Certificates series of 1918, nor shall
War Savings Stamps series OF 1918
be affixed to War Savings Certificates
series of 1919" This means that you
will have to get new War Stamp. Ger
tiicates after January LIST. 1t does
not mean that any stamp loses any OF
its value.
war Saving Stamps and Thrift
Stamps are as good as gold whether
YOUR certificate or thrift card is COM
pletely filled or not. The idea that
untitled certificates or cards must be
cashed in before January LIST is abso-
lutely baseless." This notice was is
sued by Lewis b. Franklin, Director
of War Loan Organization, United
States Treasury, to counterfeit a ten
dency to cash War Savings Stamps
and Thrift Stamps because their own
ers have the idea that only completely
filed certificates or cards would be
valuable after January 1st.
Hold on to your Val Savings Ger
tifcates whether you have only one
War Savings Stamp or a filled card"
advised Mr.. Franklin. There is alb
solutely no reason for cashing a sing
lie Saving Stamp before maturity. The
| single Saving Stamp will grow in
value the same as your twenty stamps
| and the Government will redeem 1t on
| expiration for five dollars, just as 1t
| will redeem your twenty savings
! stamps for one hundred dollars.
Thrift cards even though only parti-
ally filed, are as good as ever.
"The Government will continue to
sell Thrift Stamps so that you can
fill out these cards and exchange them
for the 1919 issue Of Wal Savings
Stamps. The 1919 War Savings
Stamps will be sold after January lst'
the same as were the old War Savings
stamps. The only difference is that
these new blue stamps must be pasted
ON a new certificate and not used to
fill out the old certificates. The OLD
Certificates, OF course do not have 10
be completely filled to entitle every
holder to five dollars on maturity for
every War Savings Stamp IN them.

Kaiser's Statue Real Art
French Will Spare Il

Paris, Dec. 27.-With the admirable
sense of appropriateness allied to a
sense of humor, the French have
solved the problem of the huge statue
of the kaiser in Strasbourg. For
weeks, plans have been made for the
destruction of the horsed figure which
ia really a work of art. But a few
days ago a delightful solution was
arrived at. The two hands OF the
kaiser, one resting on the neck OF the
horse and one falling at his SIDE, nave
been manacled with iron chains. and
on the statue has been carved, "Sic
transit gloria mundi."

The Farm Woodland.

This is the time Of year when the
most neglected part of the farm comes
in for some consideration. A wood
lot is necessary adjunct of every
we'll ordered farm. 1t is looked to as
the source of ffre-wood, fencing,
building material, and has often help
ed out the owner with ready cash
from the sale of timber. While it is
true that the woodland is the only
part Of the farm that will not de-
teriorate if left alone, it is also true
that that no other part of the farm
will bring better returns for small
Of Intelligent care than this
same woodland. Growing trees for
timber is not much unlike growing
other crops. Planting, weddings, thin
nings and certain cultural operations
are often employed to advantage in
timber growing. AS in handling other
crops, there is the right thing to do
at the right time to get the best re
suits. when timber reaches maturity,
it should be cut, but young, thrifty
,rees of desirable kind should be

Mrs. Bedle is Regent of the Pocahon-
