STEP To ESTABLISH
NEW GUARD TAKEN
War Department Approves
Commands Proposed in
Four States.
NO GENERAL ACTION YET

Reconstruction or the National Guard
was actually started today when the
War Department. through the bureau
of militia affairs, authorized organ
ization of seven regiments and one
extra battalion of infantry. one squad
ron of cavalry and eighteen compa-
nies OF coast artillery.
The state of New York was author
lied to raise four regiments of in
fantry. one squadron Of cavalry 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 new units are intended to re-
place state troops, which, under sec
ton 81 OF the national defense act,
cannot be legally maintained by the
states In time of peace. That section
prohibits the maintenance of any
act-regulars' and national guard.
other authorizations for units are
expected to follow soon.
The states first considered were
those in which conditions were such
that their governors considered
armed forces might be necessary un-
der certain contingencies. The state
or Pennsylvania, for instance, re-
ported to the War Department that
1T possessed at this time a very ef-
ncient state constabulary and 5000
state troops, sufficient to handle any
emergency which could be foreseen
at this time.
The units authorized today must
be in such state Of organizatio be-
fore June 80 as to be eligible for
federal recognition, if the War De-
partment is to extend financial aid.
The organizations will all be based
on peace status. company consist
ing of sixty-flve men as a minimum.
Statement by Department.
'It should be clearly understood"
the message sent to the state gov
ernors said, that the War Depart
ment does not call for the organiza-
tion Of the National Guard at the
present time. but leaves initiation of
it's organization with the state au-
thorities, and it is not desired to an
ticipate the action of Congress- in
the formulation Of the national mill
tary policy. nor is it believed to be
desirable to undertake the general
reorganization Of the National Guard
prior to the demobilization Of the
former National Guard units from
the United Statea Army"

ATLANTA OPEN ARMS
TO 18th ENGINEERS.
KlNDFoLKs, FRIENDS AND PEG
..PLE GENERALLY GO TO CAMP
GORDON TO GIVE OVERSEAS
MEN RouSlNG WELCOME.

Atlanta, Ga. April S.-All of At
lanta's pent-up enthusiasm for the
men who went to France and helped
to win the war was turned loose yes
terday and today On the Seventeenth
Engineers, who arrived early yestetr-
day morning at Comp Gord3n after
spending two weeks in the concentra-
ton camp at Camp Merritt, N ].
A vast crowd OF kinfolks, friends
and people generally went out OF
Camp Gordon to give them rOusing
welcome when they arrived on a
troop train. They were guests at a
reception last night at the hostess
house, and after the reception were
given passes to come into Atlanta.
Today they are spending the day in
the city, and tomorrow afternoon
they will give parade through the
principal streets.
The Seventeenth Engineers were
organized and trained in Atlanta and
went for here to France in the spring
of 1917, arriving in France in mid
summer of that year. They built the
mammoth docks, wharves, ware
houses and railroad yards at the
French port of st Nazaire, which are
admittedly the largest in the world.
The regiment is composed of men
from practically every state in the
union.

GREAT VIOLTNIST
WINS AUDIENCE
SHOVGAARD DANISH VIoLINlST
COMING HERE FRIDAY NIGHT

AXel Skovgaard the great Danish
violinist, who is to play at the school
auditorium here next Friday night
won his audience completely in
Tampa the other night. He is to play
here under the auspices of the Wood
men of the World. The Tampa
Tribune has this account of his ap-
pearance in the Florida city:
Before one of the largest audiences
of the season at the Tampa Bay Cast
no last night, Axel Skovgaard, world
famous Danish violinist, gave re-
cital which drew hundreds of appre-
ciative comments from Tampa music
lovers. From the first soft notes of
Handels Sonata in A major to the
closing number, the artist held his
audience in tense interest. Skovgaard's
perfect technique and his sympathetic
interpretations of the various compo-
sitions on his program have rarely If
ever been equalled before local audi
ence and the ease with which he
moved from the lighter to the more
serious compositions furnished a
never-ending source of delight to the
critics.
Preceding several of his selections
by brief explanations, Skovgaard de-
lighted his audience with his descrip-
tions of the men and circumstances
responsible for the compositions. In
Difference to the Spanish tinge of the
Tampa atmosphere the artist inter.
spersed his program with several Sc
lections and encores by the great mu'
sicians of old Spain, One of these
numbers was La Ella, variations Sc
refuses by Corelli, another, an encore
was lifting Spanish dance by Sara
safe. All drew appreciative applause
Among the numbers on the program
which were particularly appreciated
by the audience were Boccherini's

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You can Bring Back Color and
Lustre with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done SO naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trouble
some. At little cost you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use prep
aration, improved by the addition of
other ingredients called "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" You just
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time.
BY morning all gray hair disappears,
and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark
ened, glossy and 1uxuriant.
Gray. faded hair, though no dis
grace, is sign of old age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger. This ready
to-use preparation is a delightful tot
let requisite and not medicine. 1t
is not intended for the cure, mitiga-
ton or prevention of disease.

MEXICO HIT BY "FLU'
Most Fatal Epidemic In History
 of Country. '.
Shortage of Necessary Drugs One Of Reasons for Heavy Death
 Rate.

Laredo, Tex.-AccordIng to reliable information brought here by arrivals from various portions of Mexico, the present epidemic of Spanish influenza In that country has been the most fa- tai epidemic in the history of Mexico, the death rate exceeding that caused by any previous epidemic of typhus, yellow fever or smallpox. The under takers of Mexico were caught in the influenza epidemic without practically any supply of collins or caskets on hand, and even the old custom of rent ing caskets for burial purposes only, after which the body is removed at the grave and placed in a pine box, had to be abandoned, as some of the wealthIer class were buried in caskets that were formerly used for rental pur- poses only.
 In Mexico City 1t is estimated that at least 10000 cases of influenza were in that city the middle of October, many cases developing into pneumonia and causing several thousand deaths, these latter being mostly among the poor people who contracted the disease and were compelled to lie down on the dirt floors of their jackals and there contracted pneumonia and died. A big death rate slso occurred among the better class, despite the care giv- en them. In Guadalajara, Guana1uato, Torreon, Tampico, Saltillo and Mon- terey the number of cases of influenza were heavy, while the death rate was likewise heavy. In Vera Cruz over one-third of those stricken with the ia- fluenza are said to have succumbed to subsequent pneumonia. In mary places the heavy death rate in Mexico was due to the shortage of aspirin, Qulnine and other necessary drugs used In the cure of influenza.

FOCH HAS AL WAYS
 BEEN VICTORIOUS
Served His Country With Love, With ArdOr and
 Felicity.
FRANCE HAS GREAT LEADERS
Marshal of France Is Wonderful Title and Most of Those Who Have Held Baton Have Been
 Wonderful Men.

Parls.-What title in all this world calls up such heroic memories as that of marshal of France? It is a won- derful title and most of those who have held the baton were more than wonderful men. In every other army a field marshal is a grade.- but the French army has no field marshal 1t has simply the title of marshal. of France. The regulations of the French army prescribe that the title of "marechal de France" is not a grade, but an honor. This expresses all military excellence in a general, who does not outrank his colleagues, but who by some deed or deeds has brought particular distinction on him. self or his armies.
 The first battle of the Marne was the reason why General JOffre became ''marechal de France" Today there are only three ''marechals" in all France-Joffre, Foch and Petain. The marvellous strategy of FOCh stands out SNtAS ~NHPNANp+- had many ''marechalS," all of them prodigies of valOr and some of genius -Massena, Lannes. Soult, Murat, Ney and others. The emperor made them either dukes or princes or both, and sometimes kings. But with all their glory I doubt if any one of them has rendered such signal service to their country-certalnly not to humanity as have JOfTre and FOch.
 Gallienrs Great Feat.
 General Gallieni, the former goV- ernor of Paris. would have been made a "marechal' had he only lived long enough to receive the honor due him. It would be a beautiful idea if the government of the French republic created him a marechal even now, and inscribed on his tomb: "Gallieni died in the service of his country. General de DIvlsion-Marechal de France" It might not do the general any good, but 1t would please the army and the en- tire country, while 1t would render Justice to an immortal name and

i FUEL IS Q. K,
Tried in Extensive Tests and
 Proves Success.
Used In Everything From Trucks and Tractors to Alrplanes, Say
 Inventors.

Washington. fuel," the substitute for gasoline developed by Maj. Oliver B. Zimmerman and Capt. E. c. WeIsgarber of the gas and oil production division of the war depart ment, has proved it's practicabllity in extensive tests in automobiles, motor cycles, motortrucks, tractors, station ary engines and airplanes.
 ''The net results" said Major Zlm- merman, showed that although checked against every commercial grade of gasoline in the highest types of gasoline engines, refined to the lim- it of engineering knowledge and with no change in the carbureter, 1t never theless develops a greater thermal ef- f1ciency than the best gasoline"
 The new fuel can be produced in varying grades to meet the require ments of the several types of gasoline motors. Unlike gasoline, which is largely all of one grade, the new fuel can be manufactured specially for motorcycles, trucks, tractors, airplane engines or any other type of gas en- zine.
 'It will be possible in the future for a person to drive up to filling sta- tion and secure exactly the grade of fuel required for his particular ma chine. This will result in more satis- factory service from every gasoline machine in the market and give the motor owner q maximum of efficiency for a minimum of outlay"
 Other government experts who have witnessed tests of the new fuel are highly enthusiastic regarding Its fu- ture possibilities.
 For obvious reasons Major Zimmer- man and Captain Welsgarber are not disposed to make public the formula for 'Llberty fuel" Its base is kero' sene and some of the other materials used are said to be drug on the market at present.
 Major Zimmerman states that mo. tors using this fuel start more easily than with ordinary gasoline, that the fuel explodes at temperatures even below zero, the mileage per gallon is greater and 1t Is safe against prema' ture explosions.
