DutchmeR OF the Seventeenth Century
These Dutchmen, heavy-footed, solid,
grim, were III the seventeenth century,
to use the phrase Of a French writer,
''the Phoenicians Of the modern world,
the wagoners of the SEAS" They were
the commercial heirs of Venice. The
fire of their long struggle fer free
dom had given to the national char
acter the edge and temper Of steel.
They had swept the Spanish flag from
the seas. The carving trade of the
world was in their hands. They fished
in all waters, traded in all ports, gath
cred the wealth Of the world under
all skies. and, as far as marine quail
ties were concerned, might almost have
been web-foOted. Holland to-day is
land without ambition, comfortable,
fat, heavy bottomed. In the middle
of the seventeenth century Holland
claimed to be the greatest naval power
in the world, and by daring seaman
ship, great fleets, famous admirals, and
a world-encompassing trade, it went
far to justify that boast.-Cornhill
Magazine.

section was nearly 800, leaving a deficit
of over $500, but 500 having been sub
scribed by Georgetown people. The local
branch has some debts still outstanding,
for which there is no money on hand. Con-
tributions to help meet these expenses will
be received by Mr.. b. T. Janney at his Of

The National Guard,
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

10 Eultor VI Inc Evening Star:
The article in your editorial column a few
days ago, suggesting the advisability of
| calling the entire National Guard into camp
now N order to prepare them for possible
future service in the field, states correctly
the feeling of the entire National Guard of
the country. While the members of that
branch of the national defense are ready
for service at any time II needed, they fully
realize their failings, and feel that in JUS
tice they should be given a chance to pre-
pare themselves to take up the difficult du-
ties which may be imposed on them. Regi-
ments must be recruited, new men instruct
ed, every one practiced in those field
maneuvers which We now know little about,
and a month is certainly the shortest period
to allow for such work. If hostilities are to
be short, sharp and decisive as Indicated
from several official sources, 1T would be
criminal to call upon the National Guard in
its present condition to go at once into a
hostile district.
i think it Is the general sentiment. Of Ma
tional Guard officers all over the country
that portion OF the emergency appropria-
ton should be devoted to this purpose, and
that money so invested will bring back its
full return to the government.
The reported plan of the War Depart
ment to call for troops from the states,
either in proportion to the authorized
strength of the National Guard or on a
basis of population, will cause a great
many computations ana QifnCult1eS, and
much delay, tending it will to break up
existing valuable organizations which are
now cohesive and harmonious, substituting
fragments of regiments or a lot Of men
who, although fairly good soldiers, are not
accustomed to working together.
Hardly two states in the country have the
same ratio between the strength OF their
troops and their population, and there is
also a great variation in the relation be-
tween authorized and actual strength in
different states.
rom the National Guard standpoint the
reasonable and most effective method seems
to be for the national authorities to get all
the organized troops into camp and under
instruction at once. When they are wanted
for field service it will then be much more
practicable to select the desired number
of men by the formation Of a volunteer
force from these troops
The War Department apparently does not
comprehend the general sentiment of the
National Guard at the present time, or ap-
