 St. Louis, Oct. 24.-Blazing the trail into another state, the fiery cross Css the ku KluX Kan will light the way for klansrnen in the Missouri election this Fall.
 Rumors of such a move on the part of the secret order of knights, which had been circulated about the state for some time, became a known fact when the klansmen held an open announced they would take part in the November election. Twenty thou sand persons gathered in the conyen- tion hall where the m meeting was held.
 Reed Is Denounced.
 Senator James A. Reed was de- nounced and his defeat urged. Fol lowers of the k1an were told to vote disregard party affiliations. No klan candidates for ofIhe, however, were mentioned, leading to the belief that their activities would be centered in defeating certain candidates.
 At similar gathering in Missouri several weeks ago a speaker told those assembled that the k1an must "get as Democrats or Republicans, but as Am ericans.''
 Just how far the rays of the k1an's beacon will reach and how many fol- lowers shall be attra cted by the glow ing cross is problematical. Neither Senator Reed nor his Republican op- ponent for the seat at Washington, R. R.. Brewster, of kanssa City, has even so much as mentioned the order now are being made daily over the state.

 Washington, D. C.. Oct. 24.-Hay- ing succeeded in reducing the Regu- lar Army establishment to the size demanded by Congress, Secretary of War Weeks is now confronted with the task Of cutting down the National Guard to 8 proportion satisfactory to the various states. :.
 It promises to prove considerab ble job for there apparently is 8 vast diff ference of opinion among Guard of flcials. In order that consideration may be given to all these views. the secretary has named an expert com mission, consisting mainly of officers prominent in National Guard work, which will attempt to work out a satisfactory plan
 The Guard officers selected for this committee arg: rigadier-General Milton A. Rockford. Adjutant-Ge era1 F-lie Kincaid. Adiutant-Gener of New York; Colonel F. M. Rumbold, Mis- souri National Guard; Major General Milton F. Foreman, Illinois National Guard, and Lieutenant Colonel F. P. Schoonnaker, Pennsylvania National Guard. This com mnittee. in co-opera- ton with the Militia Bureau and the Regular Army, will make compre- hensive study of National Guard prob len1s The Militia Bureau has sent questionnaires to all State Adju- tant-Gfen neraIs for their advice and opinion. and Weeks has asked for the views of corps area commanders. Conforms tSo Law.
 Secretary Weeks holds that the Ma tionaI Guard plans as now worked out by the War Department conform to existing law, and if q maj jority of the states don't like those plans, let them agree upon something different and report to the War Department which will then make necessary recomn1en- dations. to Congress.
 Then present law. enacted in 1916 and retained in tha National Defense Act, proviG - for 800 Guardsmen to every Sem; GOT and Representative giving a total Guard strength Of 427,- 200. As result of this law such states as Della ware and Nevada would be forced to have eventually a larger Guard in proportion to population than such states as New York and Pennsylvania. In some National Guard quarters it is suggested that the to- tai strength of the Guard should not exceed 25c.o00
 Given an auth orIzed strength of approximately 450.009 men. Secretary Weeks took the attitude that it was the duty of the War Department to work out plans of organization upon that basis and this the War Depart ment did. In the plans they prepared they provided for armies, corps, divi- stons, and smaller units, with tha full complements of auxiliary organiza- sion. such as air service, tank corps
 Some S<EteS Object.
 In general the States have not ob- jected to the organization plans up to and including divisions, but some have objected to the corps and army orga nization, while a number have maintaining such auxiliary organiza- ton as air service and tank corps. It has even been suggested, notably by Congressman Anthony. of Kansas.

GUARD MUST BE
 GUT; WEEKS FACES BATTLE
 OVER REORGANIZATION PLAN

that the National Guard should be limited strictly to infantry
 On these points Secretary Weeks h asdefinite ideas.
 "Jn my opinion,'' said he, 'the ba- sis for the National Guard organiza- ton is eighteen infantry divisions and three cavalry divisions. With such units intact and organized the Ma t1onal Guard will be able to function efficiently in any emergency. I am una1terablyF opposed to such sugges- tions as having only infantry in the National Guard. as has been proposed from sources, as that would make the National Guard useless until artillery could be trained and it's effectiven ess in any war delayed by approximately year. In other words, with our regular army skeletonized and the Nat .onal Guard unorganized. our country would have no first line of defense.
 "The present actual strength of the National Guard is approximately 160,0oo There is no doubt that the number is too small. The eighteen infantry and three cavalry division are not completely organized. The question is merely as to the ultimate ninin1una requirement in strength and orga anization and the progressive steps by which it sh ould be req ched."
