Therefore decided to write little
about nv impressions on this section
Of the country. But the roads are
very hard and having only light car,
I am afraid the impressions | made
are very light and not very noticeable.
/ must admit, in spite Of the fact
that there is no country quite as
good and as fine IS Northern Mime
sofa, that you have splendid country
and one with great prospects here.
We were informed before leaving
home that in wet weather the roads

that is serious is the statement that

is no better country in the world than

Paris The Belgian commission
which is investigating the damage done
by the Germans to railroads in occu-
pied territory, while it has not yet
finished its work, is in position TO
give interesting figures relative to de-
struction caused by the Germans.
The figures show that nearly 800
miles of railroad tracks were destroyed
completely and nearly 26O miles viz"
tually destroyed and rendered useless
out of total mileage of approximate
ly 1900 in Belgium.
Done Mostly in 1918.
These distinctions mostly were In
the Mons coal valley, In the region or
Journal and around Client, Bruges'
Ostend and Courtrai and 20 per cent
of the destruction was carried out dur
ing the period from the start of the
Belgian offensive on September 2o'
1918. and the signing of the armistice.
The Germans appropriated 2,6l4
locomotives out of total OF 4,o34, OF
about 81 per cent; 9,062 passenger
cars out of total of 1882, or " per
cent, and S0,56S freight cars out OF
a total Of 94,737, or SO per cent. Inc

The Germans completely destroyed I0l
coal pits, and Mr.. Loucheur said he
hoped that if the French had luck
and worked very hard they might be
able to produce $4,000 tons daily by
the end of 1919. instead of $4,000
tons, the output before the war. The
repair of the mines will cost more
than 2,OOO,OOO,O00 francs ($4OO,O00, 0BO)
and cannot be accomplished in less
than ten years.
The factories in the district have no
raw material and the machinery has
been destroyed or carried away. Mr..
Loucheur said it would take several
years and 10000 freight cars to bring
back the machinery taken to Germany,

National Guard
To Be Reformed

WASHINGTON, April 25.-R
construction of the national guard
was actually started Wednesday when
the war department, through the bu-
reau of military affairs authorized the
organization of seven regiments and
one extra battalion or infantry, one
squadron Of cavalry and eighteen
companies of cats artillery.
The state of New York was auth
orized to raise four regiments of in
fantry, one squadron of savalry and
twelve companies of coast artillery.
New Jersey was authorized to organ
ize one regiment Of infantry and two
companies of coast archery, Ohio
two regiments of infantry and four
companies Of coast artillery.
These new units are intended to
replace state troops, which, under sec
ton sixty-one of the National de-
fense act, cannot be legally maintain
ed by the states in time of peace.
That section prohibits the mainte-
nance of any troops except those pre-
scribed in the act-regulars and ma
tional guard.
Other authorizations for units are
expected to follow soon. The states
first considered where those in which
conditions were such that their gov
ernors considered armed forces might
be necessary under certain contingen-
ces. The state of Pennsylvania for
instance, reported to the war depart
ment that it possessed at this time a
very efficient state constabulary and
5000 state troops, sufficient to
handle any emergency which could be
foreseen at this time.
The units authorized must be in
such state of organization before
June 80 as to be for federal reorga-
nization if the war department is to
extend financial aid. The organiza-
tions will all be based on peace
status, company consisting of IS
men as minimum.
at should be clearly understood"
the message sent to the state govern
ors said, "that the war department
does not call for the organization of
the national guard at the present time
but leaves initiation of its organiza-
ton with the state authorities, and it
is not desired to anticipate the action
of congress in the formulation of the
national military policy, nor is it be-
iieved to be desirable to undertake
the general reorganization of the ma
tional guard prior to the demobiliza-
tion of the former national guard
units from the United States army"
