INFANTRY, ARTILLERY
AND POLICE WILL Be
INCLUDED IN GUARD
Tentative Plans For 0rganiza-
ton OF Old Guard.

Charleston, May 80. One regi-
ment OF infantry, one battery of
field artillery and one company of
police will be included in
the new national guard. the organ
ization OF which is to be begun i'm
mediately after the first of July
when the appropriation for its main
tenanee will become available. There
is a probability that other organlza-
tious will be included. but this de
ponds upon the size authorized by
tho federal war department
Under the old system each state
enocted its own laws with respect
TO the national guard, but the army
reorganization act passed by Con
gress after the signing of the armis.
tice now provides for federal reg
ulation OF all state troops and even
the size OF the military organiza'
ton In a state is left to the war de-
pariment. The number of troops al
lotted to West Virginia at the pres
ent time would allow the above or.
sanitation to be formed, but he al
lotment Is generally changed first
of each fiscal year, which begins
the first of July. so that u differtnt
allotment may then be made for this
state. 1t is practically certain,
however that the number OF troops
now allotted to West Virginia will
not be reduced.
Tentative Plans Ready.
Major Thomas b. Davis, acting adj
jutant general, and who Is head of
the national guard OF West Virginia
at this time. has plans under con
sideration for the reorganization of
the guard when the appropriation
becomes available. Under the old
law the national guard might have
been organized, but when the war
took tho troops from the state and
placed them under federal control,
the legislature made no approprla-
ton for the maintenance OF the
guard. and nothing could be done in
the way OF reorganizing the force
until the legislature provided tho
funds.
Now that the money is about to
become available, 1t Is proposed to
so ahead with preliminary plans for
The organization OF good and ell
clint force. Already several cities
in the state have indicated the de.
sire to be recognized In the new Or
eaniaztion, and It seems certain
there will be no difficulty in recruit
ing to full capacity the forces which
will be authorized in the state by
the war department.
The allotment OF troops Is made
by corps areas. There are nine
corps areas in the country and each
one is allotted a certain number OF
national guard troops. 1t is often
the case that n state does not sup
ply lis full allotment and then the
surplus may be allotted TO some 9th
er state. And II ia in this way that
West Virginia may be given the OPP
portunity 10 organize some other
branch than those already accredit.
ed to It.
Major Davis is now In charge of
the forces in MnRo county. and
there Ia no indication yet as to
when he may return to Charleston.
but he is preparing to hold n series
of conferences with persons inter
ested In the national guard. and the
organization of state military force
may be expected to result soon after
tho FIRST OF July.

PROBE U. S. SOVIET
Hoover Wants to See SeditiOus
Connecticut Pamphlets.
Communists of Hartford Urged
Factory Seizures.

Washington. March 29.-Agents of
the department of justice are investi-
eating reported activities of soviets'
agents in Hartford, Conn, John E.
Hoover, chief of the governments
anti bomb squad, said here today.
Hoover wired his agents at Hartford
to send to Washington copies OF a
pamphlet mysteriously distributed
there Monday night calling on work
men to seize factories and set up a So
Wet. The pamphlets were signed by
the Communist Party of America.
This organization was outlawed in
a ruling issued by former Secretary of
Labor Wilson," said Hoover. But the
ruling applies only to alien members.
Native born members are beyond the
arm of the federal authorities but the
state officials can prosecute them. The
Justice department stands ready to CO.
operate with local officials of Hart
ford in running down the agitators
there, altho the department cannot in
terfere in labor disagreements."
Radical agitators still are at work in
many parts of the United States, ac-
cording to Hoover. who a few months
ago discovered that the Communist
Party of the United States had forty
thousand active members. The party
now is working along the same lines,
Hoover said, as the Communist Labor
party and the United Communist
party.
