SECRETARY ROOT
ON NATIONAL GUARD
HIS FIRST REPORT UNDER THE NEW ARMY LAW-HA
WAITS NATIONAL GUARD ONE OF THOSE TO TAXI
ADVANTAGE-REGULARA ARMY OFFICERS OBLIGAT
ED TO DRILL THE MILITIA

Copies of the first annual report of
the Secretary of War since the new
army law was passed, made by Elihu
Root to President Roosevelt, have been
received here, and contain several re-
ferences ITO the Hawaiian National
guard as wen as much general matter
giving Roots views of the Importance
of the national guard. The new law
it is claimed, makes it obligatory that
the states and territories shall organ
lie militia 1t says:
That the militia shall consist Of
every able bodied male citizen of the
respective States Territories and the
District of Columbia and every able
bodied male of foreign birth who has
declared mis- intention to become a citi-
zen, who is more than eighteen and less
than forty-five years of age, and shall
be divided into two classes-the organ
lied militia, to be known as the Ma
tional Guard of the State, Territory, or
District of Columbia, or by such other
designations as may be given them bp
the laws of the respective States or
Territories, and the remainder to be
known as the Reserve Militia"
Secretary Root refers to the militia
of Hawaii as having acted under the
| provisions of the new law requiring
an annual encampment, also to thea inn

portance of perfect defenses of Ha-
wall and other insular possessions.
AS to the new theory of the army and
militia on which the law was made, he
says it proceeds upon the following
Ideas ar. ,.-.
That whenever the United States
becomes involved in war, the Regular
Army will form but a small part of it's
armed force; and the country must also
rely, for immediate and special ext
gencies upon militia; and for service
going beyond the proper limits of mi
lttia duty upon volunteers.
THAT 1t is of vital Importance to
have a trained force of militia ready
for instant service when called upon,
and also to have a large number of
citizens sufficiently instructed and ex-
ercised In the art of war, to organize,
train and command volunteer forces.
''That the best way for the National
Government to secure both these re-
quisttes- Is by turning to the National
Guards of the States, which have
grown up ais State organizations in
tended for State purposes, but are COM
posed of citizens liable to be called

military duty, and willing to devote a

The fans were in all glory. The statement Is made that wholesale deal- CTS in baseball goods have sold In the Birmingham district more goods already this year than they sold through the entire year last season. This is most en- couraging to the promoters of the sport in this vicinity.

Emperor William of Germany shows How Fond He Is of the Ruler of Castle and Ara
 gon

Vigo, Spain, March 1e.-At half past { o'clock this morning, King Alfonso and Emperor William went aboard the Span. ish gunboat Vasco Nunez de Balboa, which weighed anchor and proceeded to review the Spanish warships.
 As the Vasco Nunez De Balboa passed the Spanish battleship Palayo and the despatch boat urania, both vessels fired salutes. The Paiayo's band played the German national anthem and the sailors who manned the sides enthusiastically cheered the two monarchs. The vasco Nunez dc Balboa was followed by more than thirty steamers.
 After the review the two rulers were rowed to the Spanish royal yacht Giralda for luncheon. At the luncheon Emperor William appointed King Alfonso an ad- miral in the German navy. There were no toasts proposed Afterwards the Ena- peror conferred the order of the Black Eagle on the captains of the Palayo, the Giraida and the Vasco Nunez De Balboa. The monarchs conferred for an hour and 6 half in the saloon of the Giralda.
 Emperor William subsequently sailed for Gibraltar on board the steamer Koe- mig Albert, and was accompanied on that vessel by King Alfonso until outside Spanish waters.
