DICK MILITARY LAW
IS misunderstood
It's Purpose Is to Send None but
Trained Soldiers to the Front
in Event of War.

ALBANY, n. Y, Dec. 29-Gen. Robert
Shaw Oliver, assistant secretary of war,
said just before leaving here to-day for
Washington that the intent of the Dick law
appeared to be generally misunderstood
IF the young men of the country under
stood the law" he said, sit would be re-
garded with much favor. The idea is to
change entirely the relation of the regu-
lar army, the national guard and the emer-
gency volunteers in time of war. When the
army is called out of the country the
national guard would take their places in
the posts and Notifications. Then the vol
unteers, under the instruction of picked
men from the guard, would take the place
of the militia. The advantage of this is
obvious. Instead of sending raw volun-
teers into campaign at once, it would put
into use Immediately the training of the
guard along regular army lines.
Another PLAN" he said, was to encour-
age the training of expert rifiemen, by the
offer of government prizes in properly
supervised private matches and by the or
ganization of State rifle associations

RUSSIA NAY CREATE
ANOTHER MONOPOLY
Government Considering Propo-
sition to Sell All Tea and Su-
gar Consumed.

MOSCOW, Dec. 29.-The government is
considering making the sale of tea and
sugar a State monopoly, as proposed by M.
Witte while finance minister There is
much opposition to the proposal on the part
of the tea trade and the grocers. but the
growing needs of the treasury and the ex-
haustion of other resources, as pointed out
in NJ: Whites last budget, are believed in
well informed circles to make the adoDtion
of the proposition probable. The present
brandy monopoly yields upward of $500. 600. :
600 yearly, about one-fourth of the rev
enues of the empire, and the MONOPOLY of
tea and sugar is expected to be even more
profitable. as the expenses of it's operation
will be small.
