Some six months ago the military board at
Olympia drew up a series OF bylaws as sugges-
tons to companies. These have since then
been adopted by all the Seattle companies and
have now the force OF military law. Among
these regulations is one providing for dishonor-
able dismissal from the Guard in case OF a GER
tain number of absences from drills. There
are quite a number of offenders against these
regulations in the three companies here, and it
