summed up in your concluding sentence
commencing all would-be volunteers to
achieve membership in the National Guard
through which the War Department and
common sense say they should be filtered.
One or two, objections thereto suggested
themselves to me as read, but nothing to

same paper in the article, Rights of Mill
tia," quoted frora Colonel Morrison, in
which 1t is plainly laid down that each in
dividual National Guardsman has the in
alienable privilege in case of foreign war
to decide for himself whether or not he
will do any other than purely defensive
fighting; that his oath to state or country
limits his obedience only to the boundary
lines thereof. So that If Spain, or England,
or any other place, should land a force
here, go ecross lots in fire and blood, es-
Gaping on the other side, only the still
small voice of the Individual National
Guardsman could decide for him whether
he would follow and punish. If this be
law, and the authority cannot be aues-
toned. think the War Department on
Common Sense" are wrong. decidedly. Let
them take men who enlist for the war;"
and are willing to fight it out wherever
duty calls On earth. on the water or in the
air. That's the kind of soldiers We want
and must have. 1t is begging the question
to say that there Is no doubt but that the
National Guardsman would go wherever
ordered. Major Morrison quotes strong
contrary ircident. The War Department
and common sense had better swap horses
now, not wait until they get into the mid
die of the stream. Take volunteers and
muster them into the service of the. United
States for such q period in the war, and
so, control them absolutely.
To require every one to enlist in the
National Guard would as naturally keep
out much desirable material A man must
enlist therein fer three years. There are
n any citizens. who would gladly fight for
their country for three years or longer,
who would not care to serve three weeks
