Spanish-American war veterans who live in Koseburg and Douglas County In large numbers are much Interested In the movement to organ ize them Into a body thai wilt form the backbone of Oregon's defense to safeguard the state against the in vasions of the Industrial Workers of the World and other distrubiug ele ments. Adjutant General Geo. A. White, following a conference with the Gov ernor last night, announced that he would soon be able to put Into the field a mobile force of trained sol diers, uniformed and armed, made up largely of those veterans who would be competent to cope with any emergency. Such an organization would re lieve the Federal Government of the necessity of keeping troops in the state, and will' provide protectlou that may he needed against I. W. W. depredations or the acts of alien enemies. Spanish-American War veterans themselves are enthusiastic over the proposal that they form the seasoned nucleus of such a home defense force. Governor Wllhyconibe does not propose to take any chances of trouble with agitators, so has deter mined to have a force ready to act promptly and firmly, at the same time relieving the Government of mucH responsibility In case of emer gency. Should there be a serious disturb ance In any part of the state the Home Defense force would be sent to handle the situation. It is nut the Intention, however, to require of then, any long tour of duty, as It U realized that the majority of the men who will compose such a force are needed in the business life of the community. Should the situation he serious enough to require extend ed service, then the Government would be asked to send troops from the nearest cantonment to relieve the Home Defense force. Men enlisting will have to take the oath of allegiance to the Federal Government Just as men do who en list In the Army. They will enlist for the period of the war, but they will not, however, be subject to call for duty outside the stale. Although no definite action has been taken here, It is probable that a n ting of tho local organization of Spaiiinh-Ainerlcan war veterans will be called soon, when plans will be formulated and their services will he offered to the state. John Parker, secretary of the Koseburg Commercial Club, who spent the past couple of days at Portland looking after business mat ters Is expm-ted to return here to night.
