vantage by gaining an additional light
battery of six guns, which was made
possible by Colorado's surrender of
such a battery in order to meet the
heavy drain of men expected of that
state through the organization of three

STATE AND FEDERAL LAW.

The ruling of the war department,
made compulsory by the apparently in
offensive amendment Of the volunteer
army bill, which permitted National
Guard organizations to come into the
service without modification, has been
the cause of all trouble encountered by
regular army officials charged with the
responsibilities conducting the cam
paign. The chief question which is
asked in kilograms to state governors
is what constitutes a battalion and
what regiment" Their interest ap-
parently being to find out how many
officers they would be ahla to cu,nis-
sion. The invariable answer dispatched
to them by Adiutant General Corbin is
not less than three companies ccnsti-
tute/a battalion, and not les than ten
companies a regiment, if SO authorized
by the state law; otherwise, each bat
talon must have four companies and
a regiment of twelve companies"
In other words, if the state law con-
tains no provision stipulating the
strength of battDious and regiments,
then the regular army formation is
compulsory. and the troops of such
states must be furnished in conformity
with the three battalion system, of four
companies to the battalion and three :
such batalions to the regiment. If,
however, the state law expressly de-
scribes the two-battalion formation, as
it does in some instances, such local
law will be respected to the extent of
emitting one of the companies from
battalion or two of them in a regiment.
1T is the belief of regular army Off
GERS that whenever state has such Il
law that state will take advanta Ee in the
present emergency, as it will provide
an increased percentage of commission
ed officers.
