Interpretation of the Military Code.

Olympia, Oct. 25.-Special.-In answer TO
the question as 10 whether enlistments I'M
der the old military law were invalidsted
by the military code Of 1895 which repealed
former militia laws, Assistant Attorney
General Haight says:
II am OF the opinion that the repeating
clause does not have the effect to abolish
the companies organized and existing TN
der the law in force prior TO the passage
OF the military code of 1895 The code ev-
erywheps implies that the existence Of the
National Guard is continuous. and that en-
listments made under the old law continue
in force under the new. For instance. In
section IS OF the new law II Is provided
that no company other than those now or
ganzed and in the service as a part OF the
National Guard shall be admitted into the
National Guard of Washington. except
upon the recommendation Of the military
board In section 50 II is provided that
Immediately upon the passage of this act
the commander-in-chief shall. upon the
recommendation OF the brigade command
er, muster out and disband such compa-
MES Of infantry and troops of cavalry as
may seem for the good Of the service I
am therefore of the opinion that II is not
necessary 70 re-enlist the privates in the
National Guard to make their enlistment
valid"

taking OF any evidence. on the ground that
the complaint did not state facts sufficient

both the continuance and the leave to
amend.
