of his command now are organizing a
bowling team to enter the District
National Guard League.
National Guard organization at drill
was put on the drill floor last Tuesday
night when Company r presented
three officers and 81 men. This or
ganization also took the largest num-
Der OF men to the last annual en-
campment, and received the favorable
comment Of Maj. Gen. Stephan for the
showing 1t made at several of the pa
rades. 1t Is commanded by Capt.
John Lane.
Enlistment troubles are facing one
outfit OF the 121st Engineers. which,
unless solved, will prevent the COM
mand from showing an efficiency
rating sufficient to keep 1t in the
guard. 1t Is Company A, Capt. Roy
keesee. commanding. This organiza.
ton was under strength before the
annual encampment. and In order to
make 1t up number of men were
transferred from other commands.
The inspecting officers disapproved
this contending that while the names
were on paper the men did not show
up for inspection.
The Engineers regiment now is
above the strength allowed by the
War Department, which has said that
the surplus may be allowed to remain
until natural separations bring 1t
down to the allowed strength. How.
ever some OF the companies have men
who want to join. but the fact that the
regiment Is above strength In total
numbers prevents the compa MES
under strength from getting new men.
The officers feel that this Is a dog-in-
the-mafger proposition. They are
under strength and cannot recruit
because the regiment is over strength.
and transfers are overruled by the
War Department..
Another serious matter that Is fac.
ing the local guard under these recent
rulings Is the re-enlistment of men
whose tours of duty have expired.
When men are Interested enough to
re-enlist the officers rightly contend
that they should be allowed to do so.
as the interest of these men will be
kept in the training. They should not
be allowed to lose themselves to the
service because Of a technically. But.
under the War Department ruling,
they must be allowed to go until the
regiment is brought down to the al
lowed strength.
During the year, however. it was
pointed out there will be other cas-
ualties and recruiting will have to be
started. and because of the treatment
they received at the time they wanted
to enlist such men might have lost
interest in the organization.
NAVAL RESERVE.
Progress is being made in the local
Naval Reserve under the reorgani
"a alton plans which have fixed three de-
stroyer divisions as the formation of
the local outfit. According to officers
of this command. these outfits now
are functioning, although all are under
strength.

ALEXANDRIA,, Va, September e.
There Will be no new crop of
colonies for the Governor of Virginia
after Harry Flood Byrd assumes con-
troll of the reins of government in Feb
ruary.
The law regarding the members of
the staff is to be changed, practically
abolished. and there will be perhaps
10 men named. They will be men who
have seen military service, hold COM
missions or held them in the World
War, and others of actual military
experience. They will not have to
provide handsome uniforms, but will
wear the ordinary service uniforms.
They will not become colonies, merely
holding rank as when appointed and

zoo to be Disappointed.
There will be at least 200 disap.
pointed and aspiring men when the
change is made, this being the num-
Der which is understood to have made
1t plain to those close to the new gov
service on the staff and would appre
Ciate the honor of a commission. But
Governor-elect Byrd is a stickler for
business. He Is not much on display.
He insists that the men who are re-
ceiving pay from the State shall at
tend to the business for which paid.
May Work Eight Hours.
There is vast amount OF work in
Ill of the State departments, and the
employees may find that they will have
to put in full eight hours every day.
The hours now are very short-not
more than six or seven at most. The
work is piling up and often extras are
given short terms in order to catch up.
This will be obviated If the present
force is made to put in day of eight
hours. The clerks and others have a
half day off Saturday, they have all
the holidays and vacation of 10 days.
The matter has been taken up by the
papers of the State generally and the
demand seems to be that the attaches
of the several departments might as
well work longer hours and thus obvi-
ate the increase of the forces from
time to time. With the attaches the
movement Is not popular, but there
are applications enough on file to fill
every department of the State govern
ment at the pay that is now given.

of Greece. E4 s
These two peoples were considered
the biggest patriotic dupes in the
past, and it was easy to arouse their
sentiments against each other, when
ever it was felt necessary. Since then
times have changed. Twice already
has war been averted within the year
thanks to the stand of the Communist
Party of Greece. One of these; was a
war against Turkey and the other a
war with Bulgaria; one being urged
under the pretext of the exile of the
former Greek patriarch from Turkey,
the other for the killing of Greek
merchant in Bulgaria
For the determined stand of the
Communist Party of Greece in these
threatened wars. its members are be-
ing prosecuted. Many of the comrades
face execution, more will be jailed
besides those that are in jail today
and others exiled to small and de-
serted islands.
But war there must be, and, no
matter who will win il, both govern
ments know that a war is to their
best interests. It is the only means
that will divert the attention of the
workers from their grievances to the
interests Of the fatherland" and thus
avert the catastrophe which is hang
ing over the heads of both govern
ments.
One cannot say to what extent the
Greek Communist Party will resist
the efforts of the Greek rulers to
throw the workers into a war with
Bulgaria. The Communist Party of
Greece has been outlawed. After the
trial of the entire central executive
committee that has just been post
poned, and the suppression of all its
newspapers, the Greek party is in
the same position as its Bulgarian sis
ter party. SD
But the workers and peasants of
both countries have been well edu-
Gated during the past years Of activ-
ity of the Communists, and it is GER
tain that the military laws and court
martials will not prevent them taking
a definite stand against this new plot
ting of the bourgeoisie.
The war is being cooked, but it is
not certain that 1t will be served, eat
en- and digested by the Greek and
Bulgarian workers. On the contrary,
II may be rehashed and forced into
he stomachs of the capitalist and
andowing classes of those countries
nd thus give them the fatal indiges-
ion which will mean their downfall.
