There was no danagej Governor Edge Will Call Meeting Next Week to Organize New Force Special to the Courier-News: Sea Girt, July 27. Governor Edge has given up the idea of se curing an organization composed of Home Guard members for duty in connection with the guarding of bridges, ammunition plants and such places and has sent out a ca41 to certain men in every county of the State to attend a conference at the Little White House or the State House at Trenton, at which the sit uation can be gone over carefully and plans made for the creation of some new organization. Governor Edge stated today that he intend ed to oppose any effort on the part of the War Department to put off onto the shoulders of the State the responsibility of tne safeguarding of such places and the cost that such duty would involve. Briefly, the Governor said that if the Government wanted to make such an organization as he expects to be able to raise and wanted to equip them, arm them and maintain them, he would be glad to furnish the men, but that such work was decidedly up to the War Department and the Federal officials and should be paid for out of the vast revenue funds which are being raised for such purposes. Governor Edge's latest State force scheme calls for two kinds of service voluntary service, flor protecting places within the home municipalities of the men offering their services, but not subject to detail outside their districts, and the other a force ready to respond to the Governor's call for duty at any point in the State under the established tables of pay for proportionate work and rank in the army.
