COL. CLAYTON'S ARMY BILL
A MEASURE TO INCREASE THE Eff
CIENCY OF THE NATIONAL GUARD.

The bill to provide for increasing the military
establishment of the United States in time OF war.
which was introduced in the House OF Representa-
tives February q by Mr.. Clayton, has many
features of interest the general public. and It's
passage would bring about many radical changes.
Among the novel points of the bill! there are
some which will be of special interest to members
of the National Guard It provides that the militia
Of the country shall remain under control of the
States but subject orders from the President
IN case of var. and not 10 his requests The sec
tion which this point provides that when
the President orders the National Guard 70
be employed in the services of The United States he
may specify in his order the period for which such
service is required exceeding six months, and
the National Guard called, shall continue TO
serve during the term specified unless sooner dis
charged by command OF the President, and shall
serve wherever ordered within the United States
proper, provided that when 1t is military neces-
sity in order 70 repel invasion. the National
Guard shall in the enemy's country"
There is also a section the bill which provides
that when a National Guard organization has been
ordered into the service OF the United States IT
shall be accepted into the Army organized under
the laws OF the State Territory. This would
allow the organization 70 maintain It's identity,
and preclude misunderstanding that such
caused much discussion when the National
Guard was asked to volunteer for service In the

National Guard organization shall do at least
days OF field duty "et least in two years"
