Veterans of 9th
To Resume Status
OF Stale Guard
O'Ryan Announces Plan
for Reorganization to
Crafty Mems Wishes;
TO Keep Present Rank

The final touch of satisfaction was
lent to the Welcome Home festival of
the 9th with the announcement last
night that the old State Guard estab-
llshments arc to be kept intact after
the mastering out process that, follow
ing the parade, is to be begun at Camp
Upton at once.
Major General O'Ryan himself, on
behalf of Governor Smith, made this
definitely known to the division at Il
meeting Of all commanding officers last
night at the Biltmore. The officers had
mally to announce the desire of the
men that a way be found whereby they
could stick with the 9th after the
breaking-up process that looms imme-
diately ahead
"Geatlcmen, that way has been
found" replied General Organ, after
listening to their pctioion.
"On behalf of Governor Smith," he
continued, 81 am permitted to inform
you that the state administration de-
sircs you to continue as the military
establishment of New York State IN
conjunction with the present State
Guard"
Temporarily, General O'Ryan added,
the forces of the state will exist purely
as state forces He could not say what
action may be taken later
The officers said their units desire
the old organizations continued This
would mean that the present organiza-
tons will cease in their present form.
All the old regiments could be re-
established and take possession Of their
armorcs.
General Organ also announced that
every officer IN the division will re-
tain his present rank Even should
there be more than one major to a
battalion, no one will be denoted.
Surplus officers win be kept as re-
serve, the men who have seen overseas
service taking precedence.
This plan of reorganization, Cen
cral Organ said, has been based upon
the recommendations made by the
committee headed by General Cornelius
Vanderbilt, appointed last December
by Governor Smith TO consider the
problem. Details arc to be worked out
during the summer. The men must
cred out now will be recalled in the
autumn when the Reconstructed organi-
zations will likely begin active opera
ton.

COBLENZ. March 24-The military
authorities are in possession Of con-
ficting evidence as a result of COM
plete Investigation of the first serious
encounter between American soldiers
and German civilians, in which one
American was killed and four seriously
wounded in conflict on the outskirts
of Coblenz.
The Americans were members Of the
61st Pioneer Infantry Regiment. A
German youth stabbed two Americans
so seriously that one died. 1t is said
the trouble originated in the insulting
attitude of the Americans toward the
Germans sister. The American wound
ed assert the Germans made insulting
remarks about America, which pre-
cipitated an immediate fight. The
Americans were all unarmed.
Knife Seized by Americans
The clasp knife used by the German
is in the hands Of Captain C. r. Cock
reil, chief of the military police of
the Coblenz district. A bloody de-
tachable cuff round on the scene of
the encounter led to the capture Of the
alleged murderer. The man was found
in his home with the other cuff, which
led to the confession, in which he is
said TO have admitted that hatred, due
to the war, caused him to use the
knife upon the American soldier.
The murdered soldier was a passcrby
and seeing two companions fighting
two Germans, he rushed to assist his
companions. Later another group of
Germans encountered several Ameri-
can soldiers, passing insulting re-
marks. A fight cnsucd, wherein the
Germans used clubs, bottles and
knives.
May Face Firing Squad
so far as is known no Germans were
seriously hurt. although eleven Amer
leans went to the Coblenz hospital,
one dying soon after his arrival. Many
Germans were arrested and are await
ing trial. If the murderer is found
guilty, he will be placed before a fir
ing squad and will be the first so
treated since the American occupation
The encounter occurred on the same
night that the military authorities
were expecting Spartacide outbreak
il Coblcnz, which, however, was clever
ly broken up by the hurried arrest of
the leaders. Nearly a score of the
Spartacides arrested gave their ad-
dress as Mctternich, a village on the
Mosclle. near Gul. while two admitted
they lived in Gul Gul is the name
of the little suburb of Coblenz, where
the encounter between the American
soldiers and the Germans. took place
Despite this coincidence, the military
authorities do not believe that the
two cases are connected.

Has your vision been troubled by
armies of huge rats parading the
streets at night? or jumping hilar-
ously from roof to roof? Even after
your dinner had included nothing
more inspiring than iced tea?
At least one Washingtonian says
that this is quite possible.
That Washington is infested with
thousands OF large rats is the com
plant made by a reader Of The Her
aid. who has written the following
letter:
Washington has many kinds Of
rats, but the most troublesome OF all
are the ground and water rats. They
are sometimes as large as young rab-
bits. and they eat into the founda-
