An opinion was given by Thomas H. Peeples. attorney general advising that the authority over the National Guard of South Carolina was transferred to the president of the United States, immediately upon their call into srevice, according to the new military statute of the United States, passed Jure 3, 1916. Arguments offered to substantiate federalization of a.1 i .... - - me guaru were tuat they are entitled to the same pay, rations, nad allowances; that ail vacancies are filled by orders of the president; and all dismissals confirmed by his action. "The president is virtually given the entire control of the National Guard when called into service of the national government." The opinion follows: "Referring to our conversation of yesterday with reference to the powers of the governor as commanderin-chief of the National Guard of South Carolina, when called into the service of the United States, I beg to advise that under the act of congress of June o, 191C, when the National Guard Of the State is called forth under the constitution and lsiws of the United States, section 494 of the civil code of this State, requires the governor to order the active militia of the State out for service and when so ordered out under section 49o of the code of laws of South Carolina, 1912, they ar.e subject to the same rules and articles of war as troops of the United States,, and during their terms of service are entitled to the same pay, rations and allowances as are established by law for the army of the United States. "The National Guard then becomes subject to the orders of the president, who is given power by the act of congress to assign the National Guard of the several States to divisions, brigades and other tactical units, and the president may. detail officers either, from the National Guard or the regular army, to command such units. All vacancies occuring in any grade of commissioned officers, in any organization in the military service of the United States and com posed of persons drafted from th^ National Guard shall be filled by the president as far as practicable by the appointment of persons tak.en from the guard. "At any time the moral character, capacity and general fitness of service of any National Guard officer may be determined by an efficiency board of three officers, senior in rank to the officer whose fitness for service is under investigation, and if the find ings of such board are unfavorable to such officer and are approved by the president, such officer shall b~ discharged The president is virtually) given the entire control of the National Guard whenever called into Ciie i service of the national government. j "The adjutant general of the State is required to make such returns and reports to the secretary of war or to such office as he may designate, at such times and in such form as the secretary of war may from time to time prescribe, so that the entire control of the State militia is vested in TTnifoil Q f r, r, ?.. i. 1 1 '1 v/Mixwi. ui.c4i.vo ciuLiiurities wnue the militia is in the United States service. "When the president calls upon the State militia, because of invasion or threatened invasion of the United States, the call is to be made through the governor in each State and it becomes the duty of the governor to order out the militia for service in accordance with the call of the president." o Magnolia Balm is the Liquid Face Powder used by famous beauties.

El Paso, Texas, June 21.?American and Carranza troops fought a sanguinary battle today on the Santo Domingo ranch, near the town of Carri'-:al, and tonight it had not been learned with which side rested the viciory. The number of dead, American or Mexican, was not definitely knowtt here, but nearly a score of Gbtl. Pershing's men are said to have b^eh kil' >d and the Mexicans are said to have lost more than 40. Seventeen Americans are declared by Mexican officials to have been captured and to have been hurried to Chihuahua City under adequate guard. A -mall inp gun used by the Mexicans is reported to have dorm heavy execution. The scene of the fight was just nine miles southwest of Viiia Ahumada, the Mexican field headquarters in northern Chihuahua, and the clash occurred only a few hours after President Wilson's 0,000 word rofe warning Carranza that the "gravest consequences" would follow an attack upon American troops had gone forward. TENTH CAVALRY ENGAGED. The Americans engaged are thought to have been members of a troop from the Tenth cavairy, a negro regiment, returning from a scouting trip to Guzman. The size of the Mexican force, whose commander, Gen. Felix Goir.ez, was killed, is not known . News of the battle was received in Juarez early this afternoon by Gen. Francisco Gonzales, Carranza comnui twlnp r\f I... ...; i . .......v.vi v/i ii.- iiuiiu'.ry r.one oi Ci\c I bonier. For some reason Ion. Gonzales kept the story secret until lute in the afternoon when an American. J. C. Hubble, returning to the border from the interior, brought to El Paso the news that he had seen numbers of Mexican dead along the Mexican Central railroad tracks at Villa Ahutnada, and had been told that there had been an encounter. Gen. Gonzales' first step after confirming the news was to issue a statement placing the blame on the American commander. He charged that the American troops fired first on the Mexicans and that their shots were directed at a courier who had just presented to them a request that they retire. THINK MEXICANS BEGAN IT American army officers dectared absolute disbelief tonight in Gen. Gon zale's assertions. The opinion was expressed that if Americans fired on the messenger they did so because it was necessary in order to insure their own safety.
