CLAIM Ex-YANKS HINDER
ENulSTMENTS IN MILITIA

mot only do militiamen recently
discharged from the Federal service
decline to reAenlist IN the national
guard, but by their talk disincline
others to do So" states the. annual re-
port Of Maj. Gen. Jesse Mel. Carter,
chief of the militia bureau, issued here
yesterday.
National guardsmen who served in
the recent war "are surfeited with
military activities" continued the re-
port, but II also expressed the belief
that the attitude is a temporary one,
and that a few months time will see
the complete re-estabiishment and re-
organization of the States fighters.
Investigation Of State headquarters
throughout the country showed sat
isfactory conditions prevailing every
where except in Texas.
There has been apparent an un.
necessary waste of government funds
in the shipment and handling of Fed
eral property in the hands OF the
State authorities Of Texas" said the
report.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-A secret
marriage of twenty-year-old Eliza
beth Schmitter, West New York, N.
j., who took her life by jumping
from ferry boat in New York, was
disclosed by her relatives yesterday.
In letter to her mother, written
just before her death, Miss Schmit-
