Fifth Brigade president OF the National Guard AS
sociation. at the annual convention IN Albany TO-
5,.. will deliver his annual report, containing
recommendations touching the welfare OF the Na-
rio-af Guard General Smith hnds that the county
officials generally throughout the state are sIronS'y
against any increase OF expenses Tor the support Ol
the National Guard. and he fears that the aglta-
ZION which they are creating will result IN the
massage OF laws which will throw the entire cost

state under the plea that IT is State institution
and should De supported by the state
General Smith says the association should not
give irs Endorsement 20 proposed amendments 70
the code which would increase the cost OF the
Guard 10 the state counties or municipalities IN
less such amendments are clearly 10 promote me
efficiency and usefulness of the entire Guard but
General Smith makes tt plain that these remarks
do not apply 10 the annual appropriation oy the
legislature for general military purposes.
A significant part OF the address OF General
Smith is his reference TO Governor OdelIs concep-
ton OF the duties and responsibilities or the Ma
tional Guard as expressed in his inaugural mes
sage in which the Governor said: The National
Guard was not intended military reserve OF
the general Government. The Guard should never
be expected 10 do anything else than was intended
that is TO suppress local troubles and repel for
eisn invaslons. and strengthen the Federal arm
only until a sufficient force be put into the
neld 10 replace them"
General Smith then says.

Governor VIII help put ths S'uaTd INTO ~ proPer

delivered regarding the best method for making II

General Smith then argues that the spectacle fol-
lowing the outbreak Of the war with Spain. when
large numbers OF people abused those who did not

critics for they overlooked the fact that all male
