May Reduce Funds
National G ar d

Aberdeen, April 15.--Adjutaat
General Halle received a call to
Washington yesterday to appear at
hearing before the house commit
tee of the national guard on next
Monday to discuss the resolution
now before congress.
He is unable OF go and wired
Congressman Johnson to represent
South Dakota at the hearing.
The congressional measure pro-
poses to radically reduce the money
for support of the national guard,
while insisting upon the present mum
ber OF men. General Hazle's idea
is that this Is a wrong policy. In the
case of South Dakota for instance
this state is entitled to 1.400 men.
1t has already organized the 147th
Field Artillery with 700 men. His
idea is that If economy is sought
this organization should be equipped
and trained and the other 700 men
dispensed with,
Another idea of the congressional
resolution Is that all the national
guard should be infantry, something
that prevailed during the war and
was then found to be a dangerous
idea. 1t Is said that infantrymen
can be trained in six weeks but the
other arms of the service require
months of preparation. To overcome
this the new plan has been to intro.
duce artillery, engineering. hospital
and various branches into ths
guard.

They fought for ten minutes while two young compan- ions looked on, in the fastness of a wooded place in old Queens village, about four miles from Jamaica, in which the four were encamped.
 For hours after il was all over, the three who were left stuck to a story that the killing was an accident in the course of target pra ctice. Jamaica de- tectives broke them down at last and got written confessions, after forcing Victor to re-enact the shooting the the pot where it occurred.

His words were spoken in sheer bravado. Victor accepted in the same spirit, and before they realized what they were doing, the boys were loading their rifles with 22-longs, bullets with ample power to kill.
