SiOnS for arming ana equlpping the militia
than are afforded by the act of 1905. which
Is still upon the statute books. The matter
has already been the subject of discussion
In the Senate, and a bill which seeks to sup
ply the deficiencies of existing laws Is now
upon its calendar.
The Secretary Of War calls attention to
the fact of an embarrassment growing out OF
the recent act OF Congress making the re-
tirement Of officers Of the army compulsory
at the age Of6i. The act of 1873 is still in
force which limits to 400 the number of
those who can be retired for disability or
upon their own application. The two acts,
when construed together, seem 10 forbid the
relieving, even for absolute incapacity, of
officers who do not fall within the purview
of the latter statute, save at such times as
there chance to be less than 40 on the re-
tired list. There are now 42o. 1t is not
likely that Congress intended this result,
and concur with the Secretary, that the
law ought to be amended.

tanned as to extending to the Indian
