COLVILLE HOMESTEADERS
TO GET LITTLE RELIEF
Interior Department Is Without Au-
thority to, Aid-Water Power Bill
Soon to Come Before House.

Washington, d. C.-The interior de-
partment is without authority to af-
ford relief to homesteaders on the di-
minished Colville Indian reservation
in Washington, who appealed to their
representative to have payments re-
mitted because of drought. This in
formation was given this week by de-
partment officials before whom was
laid a. petition for relief forwarded in
behalf of homesteaders by George S.
Lee of Okanogan. The department, it
is declared, is entirely without juris-
diction to make changes in require
ments as to residence, cultivation or
payments with respect to entries made
under the enlarged homestead act.
The department suggested that the
only Way to bring about relief would
be by an act of congress.

RESERVEARMy PLAN
UP FOR APPROVAL
FORMING OF A NEW NATIONAL
GUARD CORPS is ADVOCATED
BY SECURITY LEAGUE.
IRAINBOYS SOON AS IA YEARS
Would Serve Actively for two Years
and Nine Months-Enter at A.
Estimated SOC, 900 Youths GO
Into Guard Each. Year.

Washington, d. Determination
through new system OF universal mil
itary training of great citizen army
to be known as the national guard
corps, was proposed recently by the
national guard association in state
ment made public through the Nation
al Security league. Thirty divisions of
the national guard corps, functioning
as a separate corps of the United
States army under the direction of the
secretary of war, is proposed.
Instead of subjecting all 19-year-old
youths to three months course of
intensive military training as proposed
by the war department., the guard as
sociation would have military training
as part of the national public school
system, with youths entering this
course when IA years of age. After
this preliminary training they would
be given two months training in the
field and then would be graduated into
the guard, where they would serve act
lively for two years and nine months
before being placed in the reserve for
three years.
Bring Army to 100000.
Estimating 100000 youths would be
graduated into the guard every year
the statement said that after six years
I'VE would have most effective army
OF 100000 men, 100000 in the So
called active service and 100000 in
reserve, all of them graduates of the
training camps"
To Immediately reestablish the ma
tional guards corps and "'give it a
good start the association proposed
that the law provide for the reorgan-
ization in this corps of the former ma
tional guard and national army aivi-
sions which existed during the great
war. All officers who were honorably
discharged from such units would, up
on their own application, be recon.
missioned in the grades held by them
at the time of their discharge and as.
signed to units of the national guard
corps in the vicinity ftheir homes
Similarly all officers of the organized
militia or state guards would be re-
commissioned in the new force.
Plan Transport Reserve.
Organization of permanent trans
port reserve" capable of carrying 142,
900 troops is proposed by the war de-
partment as "a part of the army reor
ganiZation. plan. This reserve, with
the regular army transport fleet, would
make it possible to move an expedi.
tionary force of nearly 100000 men
Immediately on the outbreak of war.
The plan as outlined by Brigadier
General Frank T. Hines, in charge OF
the army transport service, contem
plates reserving title to Is of the for.
mer German passenger ships and a
number of cargo Carriers, with their
ALLEGATION to commercial lines on the
conditions that the crews be enlisted
in the transport reserve and that nc
structural changes in the vessels be
made by the operators.
The Leviathan, George Washington
Mount Vernon and Savannah are some
of the ships listed to be retained ii
congress approves the plan.
