NATIONAL GUARD
 UNDER DISCUSSION
STATE ORGANIZATION MAY HAVE io BE REBUILT FROM NEW
 BEGINNING.

Washington. -1- If Congress deter mines to Continue the national guard as the lArmy reserve of the nation. Secret4ry Baker said, the guard ser vice will have to be reconstructed iron the ground up. Federalization ot the guard for war service, the War i Department has held, on the opinion of Brig. Gen Samuel T. Ansell, act ing judge advocate general, will wipe out of existence the federalized regi- ments. When the men are discharg- ed they will return to civilian life without any obligation either to the federal or state governments to con tinue in national guard service.
 Mr Baker expressed a belief that the problem of the national guard Is bound up closely with the question of what Congress may do later in framing legislation to establish per manent military soliey. Existing law provides Tor the regulars and the national guard. Should some system of universal military training be worked out. however, some officers said, it is possible that the national guard would cease to exist.

MR WILSON'S PLAN
 F0R> HUN COLONIES
PRESIDENT BELIEVES THAT THEY SHOULD BE GOVERNED
 BY LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
SAMOAN EXPERIMENT SAILED
Joint Control in That Case Caused Continual Controversy-Dis of Governments War Material Is a Serious Problem.
By ARTHUR M. DUNN.

Washington. - Diastyyon of the colonies which betoie ae ..war be- longed to Germany vas srN feature of the peace conference Wh1}H ,l was supposed would not concern. the Unit ed States 10 any great extenG But 1t appears that President Wilson he.s lieves the former German colonies should De turned over to and governed by the League of Nations when it is formed. Such action would make the League of Nations q very active force Immediately upon it's organization, for the handling of these vast colonies would at once become an important matter Of course 1t Is too early even to guess as to what England, Japan and France would have to say concerning such disposition of the col onies. It has not been the habit of either England or Japan to give up that which they have once laid hands on. The suggestion of such disposi- ton of the colonies hud not been made i previous to President Wilson's de- 1 parture for the peace conference.
 There are men still in public life who can remember the disagreeable results attending the attempt of three countries to govern even small portion of the world. The United States, Great Britain and Germany had for time joint control of the l Samoan islands. This resulted in endless controversy until 1t was final ly found necessary to divide the smail group, awarding to each country cer= tain specific islands, as joint control was utterly impre ctieahle. What hap pened In the Samoan islands quar- ter of century ago will no doubt be recalled if peace treaty Is submit ted containing a provision for joint control of the former German colonies by League of Nations. It is possi- ble that such control will be a more severe strain upon ehe League of Nh. tionsi than would be the effort to en- force world peace.
