new NATL GUARD
Reconstruction Started Today
by War Department.
Authorizes Z Regiments, Infan-
try, Cavalry, Coast Artillery.

Washington, April 23.-Reconstitu-
ton of the National Guard was actu-
ally started today when the war de-
partment, thru the bureau of militia
affairs authorized the organization of
seven regiments and one extra bat
talon of infantry. one squadron of
cavalry and eighteen companies of
coast artillery.
The state of New York was author
lied to raise four regiments of infan-
try, one squadron of cagalry and
twelve companies of coast artillery.
New Jersey was authorized to organ
ize one regiment of infantry and two
companies of coast artillery, Ohio two
regiments of infantry and Oregon one
battalion of infantry and four com
panies of coast artillery.
Replace State Troops.
These units are intended to replace
state troops which under section 81 of
the national defense act cannot be le
gally maintained by the states in the
time of peace. That section prohibits
the maintenance of any troops except
those prescribed in the act-regulars
and national guard. other authorize
tions for units are expected to follow
COON. The states first considered were
those in which conditions were such
that their governors considered armed
forces might be necessary under GER
tain contingencies. The state of Penn
SyiVanla, Tor instance, reported TO the
war department that it possessed at
this time a. very efficient state con-
stabulary and 1900 state troops, suf-
ficient to handle any emergency which
could be foreseen at this time. The
units authorized today must be in such
state of organization before June 80
as to be eligible for federal recogni-
tion if the war department is to ex-
tend financial aid. .he organizations
will all be based on a peace status. a
company consisting of 65-nen as a
minimum.
Message to Governors.
cit should he clearly understood the
message sent to the state governors
said, that the war department does
not call for the organization of the
national guard at the present time. but
leaves initiation of its organization
/ with the state authorities, and it is not
desired to anticipate the action of
congress in the formulation of the, ma :
tional military policy, nor is il be-
lieved to be desirable TO undertake the
general reorganization of the national
guard prior to the rehabilitation of
the former national guard units from
. the United States army"
