Thus the. constitution contemplates the

dent for tho purpose Of a general war
so farms the repulse of lnvnsions is con-
cerned, and the question arises as To
whether this power extends to the EN-
ploynent OF this force for such military
expeditions as may require the dis
patching Of troops beyond the bounda-
ries OF the country, as, for Instance, to
cuba. This Is practically the first oc-
casion since the Mexican war when the
need OF an invading force by, the United
states has becomeia possibility. The
discussion of the exact powers of con-
'gress and of the President that the pres
ent crisis has preclpitated contains no
suggestion that the forces Composing
the state guards viii not be entirely
wiling, and Indeed eager, to serve as
volunteers IL the President should call
for such. Naturally the first choice OF
the executive would be. for men already
accustomed to the use OF arms, and The,
militia forces will In all probability
form the bulk of the first army. IL
events should require such a force.
