MINIMUM IS REDUCED 1 .4 Olficcrs Will "ot Draw Fall Pay Unless 3 0 Men Attend Every Drill, but Men Get fhelrs. SALEM, Or., June 18. (Special.) Sweeping- changes In the regulations of the national guard have resulted from the new law approved June 3, according to information received to day by George A. White, adjutant- general of the state. More pay and allowances for officers and men, less stringent regulations for keeping up the numerical strength of units, more pay while at camps and schools and more support and co-operation from the federal government. Those are the outstanding features of the new law, which goes into effect July 1. .- Hereafter men who attend armory dTllls will be paid, regardless of the percentage of attendance, it is point ed out. In the past men attending armorv drills received pay only in the event 80 per cent of the entire strength was present. If a man missed a single drill during the first half of the year he was disqualified for pay. That is entirely corrected eicent In the case of the officers, who do not get paid unless they have 60 ter cent of 60 men, or 0 men, present for each drill. Fay Scale Increased. Th nav scale is boosted up all ilnnir the line. Enlisted men receive from $1 up to J2.50 for each drill of an hour and a half. They also receive 25 Her cent Increase in pay nw ottunriancA at cams. Captains A , nmnnnil PPt A. sub- stantial increase, the compensation for armory pay being $60 a month in addition to the pay given them at schools and camps where they receive the pay of the regular army. Fifty men will be accepted by the government hereafter as the min imum strength of a unit. This, Col onel White points out, will enable communities to organize and main tain organizations where in the past it has been found impossible to se euHe 90 or 100 men. While the term of enlistment remains at three years, all men who served in the recent war are accepted for one-year enlistment periods. Knltatment to Be Helped. "The new law will be a great stim ulus to enlist in the national guard," said Mr. White. "It will bring many thousands of dollars into the state In Increased payrolls and what is more important it will smooth the path for the civilians who are seek ing a military education in the na tional guard service. "Now that the country has fallen hack upon the national guard as the backbone of national defense it is hljth time that so much progressive legislation affecting the guard was made operative. I believe the prob lem of keeping companies up to their proper strength will soon be solved." MORTGAGE TO BE BURNED Vancouver Methodists to Burn Evi dence or 10-Ycar-Old Debt.

Sharp criticism of the decision reached by the coun cil of the league of nations to post pone action on the plea of Persia for defense against the bolshevik! is expressed in some quarters here and one section of the press openly at tacks the council for its action. Some of those present at the meet ing of the council, it is declared, were given a bad impression, and it is understood Prince Mirra Firouz, Per sian foreign minister, though out wardly acquiescing, was considerably disappointed. The Times' captions its editorial on the subject "A Pompous Farce." and calls yesterday's proceedings "Humil iating." "This body (the council) was pledged to the furtherance of open diplomacy." complains the Daily News, "but threw no light on the text of the correspondence 'which has passed between the Persian and soviet governments and certain conditions alleged to have been Imposed. This is one way of killing the league." A Copenhagen dispatch to the Herald refers to the unpublished cor respondence between Persia and so viet Russia and, championing the lat ter, claims Persia has not answered the soviet gbvernment's protest against what it calls Persia's viola-i tions of international law. 1 "' i The Belgian government once of-r4 fered a prize for the best picture : showing the evil effects of drunken-, ness.
