Ne, ——— + THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1 n age 3 ~ GONSTABULARY: ~TOTIKE PLAGE STATE GUARDS Adjutant General Weaver Advo- cates Change in Military Estab- lishment in Report for Biennial Period A state constabulary, to take the place of the Wyoming national guard now in the service, is recommended for the consideration of the legisla- ture by Adjutant General W. K. Weayer. e “At the present time and until the legislature acts,” he says, “Wyo- ming has not and cannot have any- thing in the way of a national or home guard. But it is possible to organize a national guard under the present law, provided the war de- partment would approve it. Hereto- fore the federal government has fur- nished practically the whole equip- CELEBRATI Under the shadow of this historic invaders, are holding military demons: ment of the national guard and has exercised considerable jurisdiction over it. However, it now seems that the war department is expecting to provide a comprehensive military plan that’ does not include the national guard as previously organized, Hence it will be for the legislature to pro- vide for any military force that state may need. “T am of the opinion that the legis- lature would best serve the interests of the state by providing for a state constabulary. Wherever this has been tried it has proved most satisfactory. Such an-organization could take over much of the work done by others, as inspectors, looking after child wel- fare, and in similar lines of endeavor. After it had once been installed it would not cost much more than has been expended heretofore for a national guard, and would give a police force thruout the whole state on duty constantly. “Some force either in the shape pf a national guard or a state constabu- lary should be provided for by the legislature immédiately.” BLIND SOLDIERS GIVEN TREATMENT IN HOSPITAL AT BALTIMORE, MARYLAND BALTIMORE. — Seventy-one of the 200 men of the American fight- ing forces who were blinded in the war now are being sheltered, treated or educated in the Red Cross institute ‘for the blind at Baltimore. The in- stitution has been designated as a United States general hospital and ic called “Evergreen.”’ Colonel James Rortes, director of the institute, aid that all the Americans blindea in the war would be brought here for a course of training as this wa. the only training school for the blind maintained by the government. described the morale of the -blindeu men as wonderful. The men are first treated in th. hospital, says Colonel Bordley in a statement, after which they are taught to use a typewriter and read nd write Braille—raised type for the blind. Then they receive special training to develop their sense of touch. “After this fundamental hand training, the men are given special education to fit them for the calling in which they are interested and are qualified successfully to follow,” | says the statement. “Thus, those with inclination and the inherent ability are trained “for -vch occupations as stenographers. salesmen, correspondents, and retail store managers. (In connection with this latter occupation, plans have been already made to open a chain ot retail stores, each of which will have a blind soldier as manager.) “Those with a love of out-door and a natural aptitude for out-door life, will be trained for chicken rais- ing, bee-keeping, truck gardening and such like occupations. Those 01 {| such calibre and a; mentality that} fits them for industrial life are train ed, not merely in shop practice, but) for some particular job that they ean fill and in which they will feel happy. “Men with a high quality of edu- cation and ability that fits them for Pprofeasional life will be given such special education as will enable them té follow their chosen career such a: He}; law, massage, literature. “Men who know say that the blind Man is handicapped over the sighted 30 per cent. The men are being given 30 per cent and more educa- tional training than, their sighted fel- low workers, thereby minimizing this handicap. v “While a man is being prepared for this future career, the position for which he is being fitted is being secured, In a word, he is helped to help himself—ke is encouraged to equip himself to be a good citizen.” The hospital is located upon the large, adjoiging estates of Mrs. 1. Pieasants on the northern outskir of the city, which were loaned to the government by their owners. The buildings aré hidden in the midst of trees and gardens. —_—_o—_— - Balloonists are able to distingdish sthe sound of a locomotive whistle at_a height of nearly 10,000 feet from the earth. ® NG WAR’S END c cathedral of Keims the nen ftorees, trations of peace times.

Sir George contended that the Allies must not desert Russia now and that they would be untrue to the cause of democracy if they did not put an end to the reign of Bolshevism. At the opposite pole is Ramsay McDonald and such; newspapers as the Manchester Guardian and London Daily News which call for the imme- diate withdrawal of all . entente forces and demand that Great Brit- ain cease participation in military op- erations which they denounce as in- terference in Russian internal pol- jitics. The majority of the press is gen- erally non-committal and contents it- if with printing Russian news and ofraining from an expression of opinion pending consideration of Rus- sian policy by the peace conference. There appears to be a widespread unwillingness among Englishmen to support any policy which may involve a continuation of military action on a large scale unless it be clearly es- tablished that such action is necessary to safeguard the entente victory. Nevertheless there seems to be a growing disposition in the press to regard the restoration of peace and order in Russia as a task which is necessary to insure the stability of central Europe. This is especially true since the manifestations of Bolshevism in Ger- many and the attacks of the Bolshe- viki upon Esthonia and other Rus- sian. territory evacuated by the Ger- mans. The Russian muddle is regarded here as one of the all--important subjects to be discussed at the peace conference, and the average English- man seems content to let the allied representatives dispose of it without his advice.

Homer Rutledge; of Lansing, Mich- \igan, fire marshal of that state, dis- cussed “The Arson Trust” and show ed how incendiaries had burned $8,- 121,816 worth of property in one year during the war, exclusive of the many other millions destroyed indi- rectly by explosions. Ole O. Roe, oi Des Moines, fire marshal of: Iowa, in an address on ‘‘Pyromania,” said edu- cation was one of the mosteefficient means of combatting this evil. F. |. Morgaridge of New York, form- erly apsistant fine marshal of Indi- ana, Said most firebugs were adoles- cent boys and girls. He advocated proper home and school training. Despite the fact that the United States was at war and that enemys agents were active, twenty states re- | ber of cases of arson. While it was announced as a fact that in the first nine months after America drew the sword $43,000,000 worth of war in- dustries went up in smoke, in only ten per cent of the cases was there even suspicion of spy work. “Care- lessness” was designated as the big- gest firebug/of all. One grain eleva- tor fire alone destroyed H wheat to make a y bread for 200,000 soldiers. Many fires at first attributed to found, upon investigation, to be dus to other causes. One notable in- stance was a spectacular and costly waterfront fire in Brooklyn, the Dow’s Stores, in which a v quanti- ty of grain intended for shipment to the Allies was destroyed. It was dis- covered that the blaze was the 1v. sult of a dust explosion e¢aused by a alectricity. Another conspicuous im stance was the Baltimore pier fire which at first was positively ascribe | to pro-German plotters. Rigid in- | vestigation by federal agents, accord- fng to fire marshals definitely de j termined its non-incendiary origin. | Following a reference to the Mor- | gan, N. J., disaster in which nearly one hundred lives were lost and $20,- 000,000 damage done, delegates | spoke of the work accomplished the | past year by the fire prevention sec- | tion of the War Industries Board. h | This bureau, it was stated, had in- tives to the public gallery above, to; spected niore than 2,000 large plants, valued at over $10,000,000,000 and/ in a large percentage of cases the “safety” recommendations of volunteer dollar-a-year were carried out. , It was stated that fire. prevention ported a slight decrease in the num-! enough | supply of German spies and pyromaniacs were! spark either from friction or static} ats | engineers ; York City declared that if a serious blaze had started at that time, or on Nov. 11, four days later when the scenes of pandefhonium were repeat- ed, all New York wight have been laid in ashes. The fire departments would have been crippled also, he said, by the crowds of traffic conyes- tion in the streets. As one of the | delegates expressed it, “Thus was in- vited the great loss and property, | perhaps, in American history.” ‘The fire marshals present at the, conference with the underwriters in- cluded five committees on co-opera- tion between the two organizations, whose efforts are directed to “warn- ing on carelessness” and to increas- ine efficiency of fire prevention in the United States.
