Company Officer Must
Return Stock to Man
He Bought 1t From

Three hundred shares of stock in
the Lion Bonding and Surety COM
pany were ordered returned to
James M. Hays in decision handed
down yesterday by District Judge
Day after a week of hearing the
suit brought by Hays against Henry
Haubens, president, and c. w.
Shaffer, officers of the company.
Mr.. Haubens and other officers of
the company bought Mr.. Hays
stock for SIPS share December u,
1917. Mr.. Hays had written to Mr..
Haubens, asking him to find a pur-
chaser for his stock On December
81, according to the testimony, Mr..
Haubens turned over the stock to
a syndicate that had been organized
by P. H. Kohl and E. F. Guerney
for $l70 a share. The stock is now
said to be selling for 5000 a share.
\ Mr.. Haubens testified that he did
not know the sale of the Hays
stock had been made until January
8, but Judge Day said he found it
hard to believe this statement.
IAN officer in a company has no
right to buy stock from a stock
holder at a low price when he has
inside information of deal which
the stakeholder as stakeholder has
just as much right to know as an
officer in the company has," said
Judge Day.

AUTHORIZE new
GUARD UNITS ON
BASIS OF PEACE
War Department Permits I'm
mediate Formation of State
Military Regiments In
Four States.

Washington, April 23,-Recon-
struction of the national guard was
actually started today when the
War department, through the bu-
reau Of military affairs, authorized
the organization of seven regiments
and one extra battalion of infantry,
one squadron of cavalry and eight
cen companies of coast artillery.
The state of New York was au-
thorized to raise four regiments of
infantry, one squadron of cavalry
and IL companies of coast artillery.
New Jersey was authorized to or
ganize one regiment of infantry
and two companies of coast artil-
ilery, Ohio two regiments of in
fantry and Oregon one battalion of
infantry and four companies of
coast artillery.
Present Units Illegal.
These new units are intended to
replace state troops which, under
Section 81 of the national defense
act, cannot be legally maintained
by the states in time of peace.
That section prohibits the main
tenance of any troops except those
prescribed in the act-regu1ars 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 gov
errors considered armed forces
might be necessary under certain
contingencies. The state of Penn
sylvania, for instance, reported to
the War department that it possess
ed at this time a very efficient state
constabulary and 5000 state troops,
sufficient to handle any emergency
which could be foreseen az this time.
Based on Peace Status.
The units authorized today must
be in such state of organization 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, a company con-
sisting of IS men as minimum.
1T should be clearly understood"
the message sent to the state gov
ernors said, that the War depart
ment does not call for the organiza-
ton of the National Guard at the
present time, but leaves initiation of
its organization with the state
authorities, and it is not desired to
anticipate 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 rehabilitation of
the former National Guard units
from the United States army"

TRIBUTE TO DOGS OF WAR
Official British Report Tells Of Good
Work Done by the Animals at

An official report has now been Is

desperately across piece OF she'll
Scared country.
The corps OF messenger dogs was
the creation Of Col. Richardson, the
widely known advocate Of the use Of
dogs la war and police work. The
dogs were trained ut war Otfice
school OF instruction. Men with \
knowledge OF dogs. such as game
keepers, shepherds and hunt servants,
were selected as Instructors. The first
dog recruits came from various homes
for lost dogs, and many II soldier owes
his life to II stray dog saved from the
lethal chamber by the war Unclaimed
dogs were sent to the camp by the
police and many people sent their pets
as war volunteers.
The best breeds for the purpose
proved to be collies, sheep dogs. lurnl'
ers, Welsh and Irish terriers, Aire-
dales and mixtures Of these varieties.
The dogs We're splendid. They would
nuke their way through II tremendous
burrage where no human being could
go, and would take vitally-needed
message back In ten minutes over
ground which would take Il runner
hours to cross. They were wounded
sometimes, but went on just the same.
During the great German push In
Mprch Highland sheep dog ran about
two and half miles In ten minutes
with an appeal for reinforcements, and
by SO doing prevented a very serious
disaster. Part OF our line was lso-
lated by the barrage. and, thanks to

iuls came up in time and saved the
situation.
Dogs did good service In following
UP the gssaulting troops and taking
back essential information about the
condition of the line and the rein
forcemeuts needed.

as sentries, and one Of them barked
the news Of the approach Of Bulgar

1t Is always interesting to me to see
the young birds leave their nest 1t Is
generally an irrevocnble step; they

do, however, perhaps more frequently
than other birds.

sometimes ut intervals OF an hour or

The current notion that the parent
birds teach the young to fiy--that OF

young fly automatically when the time
comes, as truly as the witchhazel nut
