Washington, March 28.--Thirty-two regiments of tin? National Guard of ten eastern states and 18 western states have been ordered into the fed­ eral service by the president for the protection of property in the event of possible interna] disorder. The mili­ tia of the ten eastern states received the order to mobilize on Sitmlay and the governors of the 18 western states were notified to inobilizeVjthe troops on Monday. . .. . Leaders draw War Resolution. •Democratic house leaders conferred with Secretary of State Lansing on the, form of the prospective resolution of congress declaring a state of war with Germany, on the early enactment of espionage legislation, and on the creation of a great secret service to guard against the operations of Ger­ man platters. Secretary Lansing told them it was the wish of the president to have con­ gress declare a state of war with Ger­ many in preference to making a straight-out declaration of war. The suggestion met the approval of the commit tee. President Wilson favors a declara­ tion that a state of war exists because it will place the responsibility for ag­ gression on Germany. War Bureau Statement. The war department issued this statement: "Following National Guard organiza­ tions have been' called into the federal service for general purposes of police protection against possible interference with the postal, commercial and mili­ tary channels and instrumentalities; "Illinois, First, Fifth and Sixth regi­ ments of infantry. . - "Indiana, Second regiment infantry.

Arrangements also were being made to create on M.uy 1 t*-6 nefv military departments on the Atlantic coast. All three steps were in accordance with orders issued by the president to put the nation on a war footing. . 12,500 More Men for Navy. President Wilson has signed an or­ der authorizing the increase of the navy to 87,000 men from the present authorized strength of 74,500. He took the step on the recommendation of Secretary Daniels under authority granted by congress In case of a "na­ tional mergency." The present ac­ tual strength of the navy is 62,000 nlen. The additional men will be used to man the reserve ships. ^ Division of the United States Int°> six instead of the existing four mffi- tary departments was announced by the war department. The two new de­ partments are the northeastern, com­ prising the New England states, and the southeastern, comprising the states in the old South. ! Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood is trans­ ferred trorn command of the depart­ ment of the East to the new south­ eastern department. Maj." Gen. J.

E>lwards from the Canal Zone to the northeast-, eryi department. Major General Barry of the central department and Major General Pershing of the southern de­ partment remain in their commands. The changes were outlined by the department in the following state­ ment: To facilitate decentralization oi command the United States is divided into six military departments In pla; f of the four now existing. The new organizations become effecilre May 1, 1917, and comprise the following: A--Northeastern department to em­ brace the states of Maine, New Hamp­ shire, Vermont, Masaschusetts, Rliodt Island and Connecticut.

Tl\e pres­ ent authorized enlisted strength is 14,981. The effect of the president's action will be to increase the enlisted strength of the navy 2,419 men, just as his action in raising the authorized enlisted strength of the navy to the full limit of 87,000 allowed by law for enlisted men in the navy proper will give the navy 18,300 more regular eu- listen men. The issuance of the president's ex­ ecutive order, raising the enlisted strength of the marine corps to the full strength authorized under any circumstances by the existing law is even more significant than his action In signing» an order Sunday night raising the enlisted strength of the navy. The tflgnifi'-ance of the president's action in enlarging the marine corps lies in the fact that it must be Inter­ preted »,nd cnn only be interpreted under the law as meaning that the president now has decided that It Is necessary to place the country in a "complete state of preparedness." The executive order read: "By virtue of the authority vested in the president by the act of congress approved August 29, 1910, entitled Mn act making appropriation for the nn\ service for the fiscal year ending Jui 1917, and .for other purposes,* it is NAVAL SHIP GUARDS NEW YORK PIEI& %<-K v*: m mmt? -a- IHIRIY-FOHR IP NEWAL6ANY, HID.

In the old day# when we dldn'^have much money, but had muscular shoul­ ders and wore stout jeans, we had no quarrel with the silver dollar, says the Sr. Paul Dispatch.

"(Signed) WOODUOW WILSON." Under the terms of this law the president may omy raise the marine corps to 17,400 when, he considers it "necessary to place the country in a complete state of preparedness." It is because he has come to this conclu­ sion that every arm of the national defense service--army, navy and mu­ rine corps in particular--are being en­ larged and equipped for real acfive service as rapidly as possible. The total authorized strength of the navy and marine corps after It has been* filled to the limits fixed by President Wilson's new executive or­ ders will be 134,456 officers and infen. prosperous we have put away our de­ sire for the physical evidence of money.

Property Loss, $1,280,000. Property losses amounting to $1,- 028,500 were the final report of the ap­ praisal committee, which spent all day on its task. The committee reported that 492 houses had been struck, 300 totally demolished, with a*total loss of $583,000. The loss on household goods Was fixed at $250.,000. Thirty thousand dollars have beet pledged for relief wOrk. Rebuilding Begun Already. Work of rebuilding the district will begin immediately, in fact It began on Saturday, when many of those whose property was only partially wrecked employed a force of carpenters to make them habitable. The arrival of the additional mem­ bers of the National Gnard greatly simplified the problem of properly pa® trolling the district. Mayor Morris said: "It is remarka­ ble how not only the citizens of New Albany but other citizens have come to the front in our hour of need."

It was stated on good authority that 800 houses have been completely wipfd away and at least that many more, have been rendered useless for hous­ ing families. In most ca^es the de­ struction wns complete when the storm attacked a house with its full force. Many of the searching parties were convinced late Saturday evening that all the dead had been taken from the deforls. The ruins were picturesque; on most of the streets in the wind-blown area It seemed as though a huge wave of wind had swept along. The ruins re­ sembled those left by a flood of water more than a windstorm. Houses, toi" apart and swept Into odd corners, drifted up against heavy wire femes and billowed up In the fields nearby. Tree Blown Through House. One of the most remarkable sights was on State street, where a large ma­ ple tree was blown entirely through a brlc^ house. Heartrending scenes were numerous along the business streets. Persons living at a distance, learning of the storm, began arriving by traction and steam road. Usually they were met by some surviving relative, who im­ parted the news that mother, father, brother or sister as the case might be, was dead or badly injured. It was no uncommon sight tQ see weeping men and women hurrying into taxlcabs to reach some morgue or St. Edward's hospital. Five factories were reported as hav­ ing suffered losses.
