MILITIA MAY BE SENT.

Army and Navy Journal
The control of the President over the
militia is absolute and unlimited in
time of necessity, and as he is the sole
judge of that necessity there is prac-
tically no limit upon his discretion. In
speaking of the militia, however, we
refer to the national militia and not
the National Guard. Most of the mem
bers of the National Guard are militia
men, and as such are subject indiyid-
ually to the orders of the President,
issued in accordance with law but the
organizations of the guard are not rec
ognized by the government as organ
iZations. But once in the ser
vice, militiamen, whether of the Ma
tional Guard or not, become soldiers
of the United States, and are as COM
pletely under the control of the mill
tary authorities as the soldiers of the
regular army. The militia bill now be-
fore Congress expressly provides that
militiamen shall serve wherever or
dered, within or without the territory
of the United States This is not new
law. but it is clear statement of exist
ing law as defined by the courts AS
the law is now the militia are subject
to the jurisdiction of military law as
soon as they are called into the service
Of the United States. 1t is not required
that they should be mustered in to give
the military authorities of the United
States control over them.

it happen that the representatives of

their constituents. while it seems to
be as easy as lying to get up one full
of constitutional virtue for the benefit
of special interests?

Lack of the Kind Word-A Touch

Surge Lesson.
(Leslie's Weekly.

One man from the colored troops on
the fighting line who came with the
first detachment was not wounded, but
only stunned by the explosion of a
shell which had fallen near him. There
was nothing the matter with him but
the shock to his nerves-and home
sickness. He spoke to no one. He
would take no food, and he sat huddled
together on his cot looking out from
the open flies of the hospital tent with
a face full of unspeakable loneliness.
Every morning when she came to the
hospital Mrs. Marsh would bring him
some little thing which she had pre-
pared for him at home; little by little
she Weakened his interest, and finally
he was dismissed from the hospital

and | were speaking of his case-Ward,
his name was-when a physician who
is at Old Point for a short vacation
came in to offer an illustration of
inconsistencies.

said with an amused nod to the young
assistant listening, L had an idea that

was simply dying of inconsistencies. |

his mind made up. and he hunted the
poor chap out and set him to loading
stuff in the commiSsary department.
That afternoon | came across him sit
ting on sack of grain with his head
down. and | noticed the way he'd
slumped forward. | laid hold of him
and found that he was dead. Plenty OF
them died that way-of inconsistencies.
There was an odd look in the faces
of some of the men on the cots when
the doctor had told his story. as if the
brief service in Santiago had already
taught them what that sickness meant.
