The war department announced
TODAY that it was initiating a pro-

out the country.

such as those used at World wal
emergency camps-would be con-

Of tents.
Eases Hardships
Before enacting the guard bill,
congress inserted provisions de-
signed to ease the hardships on
Individuals. It directed that men
below the Ink of captain, if they
have dependents without h e r
means of support, be permitted to
resign, and that len under 10 be
honorably discharged. It directed,
too, that an employer must rehire
an employe-guardsman when his
period of active duty Vas ended.
Another restriction limits the
service of the guardsmen to the
e S t r n hemisphere, American
possessions and the Philippines is
lands.
War department officials declin-
ed to say which guard units would
receive the first call to active ser-
vice. When the question of mobiliz-
ing the guard was first raised
last month, it was said that the
44th, Both, 18th and 41st divisions
had been tentatively selected, to-
gether with some coast guard
units. Those divisions are made up
of men from Me- York and New
Jersey, Tennessee and the Caro-
linas, New Mexico, Arizona, Okla
homa, and Colorado, and Oregon,
Washington, Montana and Idaho. 4

ready to work. The unit is working
under the direction of Master Ser
geant Arthur Angus and is under
the supervision of D. W. Seifert,
city councilman in charge OF
waterworks.
AS explained by Col. Gillette, the
water publication plant is n OF
the army's most interesting pieces
of equipment.
This piece of equipment" he
said, demonstrates the technical
progress our army is making in
the field of military and sanitary
engineering"
1t was developed by the army
engineers to supply troops in the
field with clean drinking water, re-
CARELESS of their location. The only
prerequisite to a supply of water
is tc find a. stream of sufficient
size. regardless of its purity. .
The truck containing the plant
follows along with combat troops.
When water is needed, the intake
pipe is placed into the stream or
reservoir and the machinery is put
into operation. Water is Their
pumped through filters and chemi-
cal processes, coming out the other
side of the truck clean and suit.
able for drinking.
The purified water is usually
placed into a portable tank or res
ervoir and from there it is distri.
buted to the troops.
The portable waterworks carries
a complement OF three men, all
of whom r qualified to operate
the mechanical as well as e
chemical aspects of the process.
Tests are conducted regularly to
insure the purity of the water.
"A casual observation of III e
manner in which the army engi-
neers entered rapidly into the
relief of the serious situation at
Weldon is evidence that our army
is available on a moments notice
to render aid to a stricken COM
munity as well as to fight for the
protection of the country"
1t is expected that the Town of
Weldon. now that the river is fall
ing rapidly, will have the water
works system re-established by to-
day and the publication unit will
be returned to Fort Belvoir unless
it is needed at some other point
in the lower reaches of the river.
Other aid offered the town dur
ing its distress included a large
number of cots and blankets sent
from Fort Bragg to provide for
persons left homeless by the
waters, and a fleet of truck to aid
waters, and a fleet of trucks to aid
waters. a

an attack on a British ship in
Australian waters.
Prime Minister Peter Fraser an
nounced the attack. He said the
Turakina was due last night in a
New Zealand port but did not ar
rive.
The Turakina's appeal for aid was
the first indication that a Nazi sur
face raider or submarine was in the
South Pacific although the 1882
ton Canadian Australasian liner Nj
agara went down off the New Zea-
land coast last June 10, the sinking
was attributed to a mine.
