Washington. April 14.-Under instruc.
tons from Secretary Alger, Assistant Sec
rotary of War George d. Meiklejohn has
been making an examination into the
rights of state militia, and he will at an
early date issue an official paper defining
absolutely the rights of these citizen SOL
dlers. In respect to the question the AS
sistant Secretary of War said to-day:
In the event of war the army will be
constituted in this order: First, the regu-
lars; second, the organized militia; third,
the volunteers, for which better name il
the war army, for the services of the VOL
unteers begin with the war and end with
it. The militia referred to in the constitu-
ton does not mean the National Guard
or any organized militia, but it means all
citizens of the United States between 10
and 45 years of age able to do army sery-
ice
Therefore the militia, organized OF
otherwise cannot be called out for service
by the President in a war which does not
come under the head of instruction. in
vasion or to enforce the laws of the Uni
ted States Congress must pass law au-
thorizing the President to call for thesa
men, and they will constitute a volunteer
or war army. The National Guard would
enlist as individuals for the term OF the
war.
IF the President fears an invasion he
may call upon the National Guard or Or
ganized militia to do duty as such along
the coast In such an event the militia
or National Guard would not have to en-"
list as volunteers.
How many men do you think the Pres
ident will call out"
I'm my Judgment, about $1,000 and or
ganized militia will be given preference
We have $500 men in the regular army
and that will give us a total of I5'W'
enough TO start with
Maj. J. n. Morrison, judge advocate Oh
the army, said
THE National Guard of a number 81
the states. in view of the fact that MIL
army are claiming that they are state VOL
unteers, and not militia. But that posbtioh
Is not tenable, and besides they have been
receiving annual appropriations from me
Federal treasury right along as mllt",
and have also been annually reporting u
the war department as militia
''The Federal government cannot NO"
afford to concede that they are not militia,
for if that is conceded the President
would have no power to call them into tne
United States service against their Will
II have no doubt all those who are any
ious TO go with an invading army woun
as willingly go as volunteers as go
militia If 1t were not for such matters a.
