ORGANIZATION OF GUARDS BEGINS Provisions Made for Infantry, Cavalry and Coast Artillery Regi- j merits?New Units Are Intend- | ed to Replace State Troops. *" Washington, April 23.?Institution of the national guard was actually started today when the War De' ~V. +Vio Rnrpan of Mi partment, mcvugu w?v, ^ __ litia Affairs, authorized the organiza-l tion of seven regiments and one extra battalion of infantry, one squad-; ron of cavalry and 10 companies of; coast artillery. The state of New York is authorized to raise four regiments of in-! I fantry, one squadron of cavalry and j twelve companies of coast artillery.' I New Jersey was authorized to organ-. I ize one regiment of infantry and two companits of coast artillery, Ohio two regiments of infantry, and Oregon one battalion of infantry and four companies of coast artillery. j These new units are intended to replace state troops which, under section 61, of the National Defense Act, cannot be legally maintained by the states ip time of peace. That sec-, tion prohibits the maintenance of any troops except those prescribed -x? 1 in the act?regulars and nauuiim guards. I Other authorizations for units are expected to "follow soon. The states first considered were those in which conditions were such that their gov-i ernors considered armed forces might be necessary under certain contingencies. The state of Pennsylvania, for instance, reported to the War Department that it possessed at this time a very efficient state constabulary( and 3,000 state troops, sufficient to handle any emergency which could be foreseen at this time. The units authorized today must be in such state of organization before June 30j as to be eligible for' federal recognition, if the War De-I partment is to extend financial aid.! The organizations will all be based j on a peace status, a company con-j ' 1 sisting of 65 men as a minimum. | "It would be clearly understood,", the -message sent to the state gov-: ernors said, "that Jhe War Department does not call for the organization of the national guard at the present time, but leaves initiation to anticipate the action of congress in the formulation of the national mili-i I fcary policy, nor is it believed to be' desirable to' undertake the general j re-organization of the national guard j units from the United States army."| WILL ASK SHIPS FOR SEA. PORTS OF SOUTH ATLANTIC Shipping Board to Hear Pleas of Saj annah, Brunswick, Wilmington Jacksonville and Charleston Washington, D. C., April 23.?The United States shipping board will give a hearing Thursday to representatives of the South Atlantic Maritime Association, who seek the allocation of a sufficient number of ships to handle the commerce of the five principal ports of the southeastern tier of states?Wilmington, N. C.; PVawIao^ati PynwcmnnV SflVflTiTlflh.} viiancobvii) Jk/iuiion MV> ? and Jacksonville. A number of ships are wanted to trade with the West Indies and Central and South Amercia. Now that war's demands on shipping space are' being gradually reduced, the fivej ports mentioned will insist that some- \ t I thing be done to relieve the local j situation and to restore the com-j merce of these ports. There is congestion in the larger ports of the north Atlantic,, and if a few dozen are allocated to South Atlantic Maritime Association territory there will; be an immediate spurt in ocean com-j merce from Wilmington to Jackson-j ville. James H. Cowan, secretary of the! Wilmington Chamber of Commerce,! and representative of the Maritime! Association, came to Wahsington to arrange for the Thurday conference. All the ports interested are expected to send spokesmen for the important meeting. Matthew Hale, formerly of Boston, but now of Wilmington, who is president of the Maritime Association, will come with that city's delegation. The governors of the four states interested have been requested by Mr. Cowan to have some one at the conference, and member of Congress from North and South Caro j fej Tfke Day tilt j |jj Fleet Sur: |fp ry^HE DAY thos< llil X ?*war cam< [ Sgy from the.

GERMAN HELMETS BELOW PARJ u ' c Washington, D. C.f April 9.?Ger- n man helmets are selling considerably 0 below par. Notwithstanding thiSjt the United States government, rep-1 h resented by the War Loan Organiza- j tion, has become the largest impor- 2 ter of Hun helmets in the world. J t The eighty-five thouusand recently a received in this counutry were made e by special order of Kaiser Wilhelm, for the triumphal entry of the Ger-I man army into Paris. For some rea-! ^ I son or other the lierman army, changed its plans and direction at Chateau Thierry. The helmets eventually ranched the French capital? but by freight and consigned to Gen- ! eral Pershing. j ^ When the helmets reached this, country rather a humorous flurry was caused when they were bought from the War Department by the War Loan Organization for the stu-| pendous and magnificent sum of one, ij dollar. The trophies will soon be1 opportioned among the Federal Re-;serve Districts and will be used to J ^ add interest and stimulus to the. Victory Liberty Loan campaign. Shortly after the one-dollar pur-j chase was announced the publicity! director of the' Twelfth District, C.' 1 A. Farnsworth, of California, sent a letter speeding to the national pub-| licity director, Frank R. Wilson, in u Washington, D. C., enclosing tenj cents, which Mr. Farnsworth deemed the proper amount which his dis-: ] trict should pay. Mr. Wilson, after i considering the military value of! German helmets?even those made |r for triumphal entries?decided that) nnVkll/tifrr men a r? ! V>ug VOilXVl ilio j^/UA/UVlbJ UM*? j over-paid. He accordingly returned two cents.
