MILITIA UNDER CONTROL
OF THE VARIOUS STATES
New Law Does Not Materially Alter
Status.

II will only be necessary 10 change the
form of accounting to the Treasury De-
partment.
The point was raised as to whether
section II of the law was constitutional,
the contention being that it removed
control of the militia from the States
General Davis decides that 1t does not
In regard to section 10. which says
that officers and men of the militia shall
be under the command of the regular
commander of the military post to which
they repair for maneuvers and field in
struction, without regard to the rank OF
the officers commanding the militia,
General Davis holds that such portions
of the militia as participate in such OPP
erations do so for purposes OF discipline
and are acting under the orders of the
governors of their respective States
While so engaged he contends they are
acting under the instructions of their
own commanders in-chief, and have not
been called forth" in the manner pre-
scribed by the Constitution. and therefore
do not pass under the command of the
President as commander-in- chief OF the
army ard navy.
General Davis further holds that en-

Ten Layers of History.

For the first time the whole history
of one of the great national sites of
Egypt has been opened before us;
dating from the beginning of the king
dom. and ending with almost the last
of its ma tive kings-from Mena about
400 r. c., to Nekht-horheb, $40 B. c.
History is here laid out for US in
strata. from which the past can be read
as we lift them away one from an
Otaaer.
In order TO read. however, one must
know the alphabet of the subject: and
that has only lately been learnt from
the POTTERY, the fiints, the beads, which
show each the age to which they be-
long. Excavation on a site with long
history is mere destruction IL each
stratum is not read and interpreted In
teIligibly as It is opened unfortunately
this has never been done before on any
such site. On the earliest sacred site
of Abydos, the first capital of Egypt,
temples had been piled one on the
ruins of another until ten ages of
building stood stacked together In
about twenty feet depth Of ruins.
Each temple had become partly ruined
after 4 few centuries. and then at last
was pulled down. leaving a foot or two
of the walls and foundations: and a
new temple of a different plan was
then erected on the ground. America
is not old enough for this to be done
even once, but London stands on
mound of over twenty feet of ruins,
from which its past will some day be
read as we now read that of Egypt
