NATIONAL GUARD DEFECTS.

An experienced army man is quoted as
saving: "If the state militia or National
Guard had been what it had been advertised
to be- a successful invasion and conquest
of Cuba before this might have been &C
complished We now know that the Ma
tional Guard was little more than hollow
shell, or, more correctly speaking, a mere
skeleton or frame work upon which to build
an army. At any rate, it was not an army
and the War Department has been obliged
to create an army from what turns out to
be practically raw material" This is all
very true, but it required such an emergency
as the present to discover the facts. And
no one is to blame for the condition of the
militia Its history in one State was re-
peated in nearly every other. A company
was formed for the purpose of military drill,
and with little thought of future useful
ness. 1t was made up of young men of
congenial tastes and equal social grade, no
strict physical standard being fixed. To
some extent a company was a club, its Of
hcers being chums of the men in the ranks,
with little more real authority over them
than if they were president and secretary
when the organization ceased to be indie
pendent and came under the authority of the
State the conditions were not changed, for
but few thought of the National Guard in
connection with actual war. When war sud-
denly threatened the defects in this body of
civilians were speedily disclosed, and the
consequence was as described. The lesson
has been taught, and should be profited by.
All new companies raised to act as Ma
tional Guard reserves or take in any way
the place of the original troops should. and
doubtless will. proceed on different sys-
tenn. The physical standard should be as
high as that of the regular army. and the
training should be as exacting. If their
| services are needed they will be ready to
so as a body. and if not they will have
the satisfaction of knowing that they are
equal to any demand likely to. be made
upon them.

COAL is KING.

The present war has demonstrated beyond
dispute that coal will be a controlling factor
in all future naval wars. This has been pre-
dicted and expected by naval strategists and
clearly foreshadowed in former naval opera
tions. but it has never been so clearly DEM
onstrated as 1t is in the present war. 1t is
one of the strange mutations of time that
the whole science Of naval warfare should
be revolutionized and the progress of civiIi-
cation shifted to new lines by the applica-
ton to ocean navigation of the natural prod
uct which has already placed the two great

warfare. If any person had predicted to
