Congress Approp~iates Funds to Sup

Squadron OF Cavalry.
Interesting Letter From Sec. of War
to Gova.lor 0ICIiae5 Organiza ion for
island.

If sufficient local interest is shown
il the project it is probable that q Ma
tiona! Guard force will be formed in
the island. 1t is the desire OF President
Wilson that such an organization be
formed here, capable Of independent
operation or Of cooperation with the Re
qular Regiment of Porto Rico Infantry,
with the police and internal defence of
the island.
According to q letter from the Secre-
tary Of War 10 Governor wager, funds
are now available for the organization
Of a National Guard here consisting Of
one regiment Of infantry and one sQua-
dron Of cavalry.
If the scheme can be carried out it
will mean that n addition to about {, 000
volunteers there will be vacancies for
over 70 commissioned officers of the
National Guard. The organization and
command of the local National Guard
will be placed in the hands of a regu-
lar army officer who will rank as Col,
while the highest ranking officer of Pto.
Rico National Guard will be Lieutenant
Colonel.
The appropriation for the formation
of a National Guard for Porto Rico was
made under the Act Of Congress passed
in July last and it provides funds for
its maintenance during the fiscal year
OF 1920.
The following is the letter from the
Secretary of War to Governor wager

81, 100000 Extra for
Fire Protection
Owners Protest Against Payina
War Tax When War l. Over
--Profteering Charged

1t costs the owners of business
buildings in this city about $4,000 600
year more for fire protection than
before the war. The explosion at
Black Tom. which shook the city. was
followed by a demand from fire insur.
ahce interests for an extra 10 per cent,
since the risk was greater due to the
war and in view Of the inhammable
material passing around the city for
Shipment to the battlefields of France
Owners paid the extra cost for pro-
lection, although they felt that it was
subterflge of the fire interests TO
increase their earnings.
The New York Building Manarcrs'
Association is now demanding not ONLY
that the old rate be returned, but that
a lower rate than the old be made. be
cause OF the remarkable fire record of
1he city. The managers say that a
lower rate was the intention of the
IRE insurance companies until the
Black Tom explosion, aud while the
public mind was filled with the posi-
Die horrors from explosives being
snllpped to Europe the companies de-
cided that an extra charge should be
paid III order to strengthen the re-
sources of the companies against q
great confagration resulting from war
time conditions.
The managers point out that the war
is over, and the exigencies likewise. and
mat the insurance companies should
ADJUST their rates to a pcace-timc level.
