Los Angeles on the Loose

Folks down in the southern part of
California have reason to worry a bit
about the stability of things. They
must be feeling now like the residents
of the Philippines and other eastern
countries where tremors of the earth S
crust are almost a daily occurrence
Three more earth shocks were felt at
Los Angeles yesterday, making the
sixth group of attacks recorded there
within the past month. Thus far very
little damage has been done. A few
windows have been broken, some
houses have been cracked and furni-
ture and dishes have been smashed a
tritie. But none of the shocks has been
severe enough to take human life and
Los Angeles is beginning to get accus-
toned to the experience. though not
particularly pleased with it. One of
its chief assets is the climate, but the
combination of sunshine and shakes is
not calculated to attract "paying
guests and even the movie industry
may be disturbed by the flicker of the
crust. The hope is that the earth is
simply settling down and that after
a little while stability will be regain ed
In that hope everybody joins.

PLANS UNDER WAY
TO REBUILD GUARD
Adjutant General Thompson Meets
General Liggett in San
Francisco.

Adjutant General Maurice Thomp-
son has left for San Francisco to
attend conference Of the Adjutant
Generals of all states within the Ninth
Corps Area which has been called
by Major General Hunter Iiggett, the
Commanding General of the Ninth
Corps Area for November 10, to make
definite ALLEGATION of troops SO that
the various states can proceed with
the reorganization Of the national
guard to conform to the present re-
quirements of the War Department.
The general basic plan of reorgani-
cation requires the ALLEGATION to the
Ninth Corps Area, including the states
of Washington. Oregon, California,
Idaho. Montana, Nevada and Utah, of
the following National Guard troops:
Two Infantry divisions, consisting
of the 40th Division being reorgan-
lied in California. Nevada and Utah,
and the 41st Division being reorgan-
lied in Washington, Oregon, Idaho,
Montana and Wyoming.
In addition to the above, but not to
be organized until after the infantry
divisions are completely organized,
there will be allocated to the Ninth
Corps Area one Cavalry Brigade, con-
sisting Of two regiments and brigade
machine gun squadron; thirty CON-
pan!es Of coast artillery which will

be organized only in the coast state
Under the National Defense act as
amended the prescribed strength Of
the National Guard would be reached
by June 80, 1924. Washington Ma
tiOnal Guard will, under the present
plans, reach its maximum strength
Of $500 men by that time To reach
the goal set by the National Defense
Act, the Washington National Guard
should have 800 men for each repre-
sentative in congress and each senator
by June 80, 1921. which means that
the present strength must be in
creased by about 600 men in the next
seven months.
Upon his return from San Fran
cisco General Thompson will d.ter-
mine the new units to be organized,
and accelerate the work of bringing
the Washington Guard to its full
strength.
Under the general scheme of re-
organization of the army, the Ma
tional Guard is given a degree of
prominence. owing to its record in tn
World War. that 1t never had attained
before, said General Thompson and
it should be matter of pride to the
citizens of Washington to cooperate
fully with the federal government in
recruiting a state guard to the re-
quired strength and maintaining 1t to
the highest degree Of efficiency"
Major c. R. Christie, United States
Property and Distributing Ofiicer of
the Washington National Guard, will
accompany General Thompson to San
Francisco to attend the conference to
get line on the material that will
be required.
