MILITIAS PLAN
FOR DICK ACT
SUBSTITUTE
Would Arm National Guard
as the Regular Army
Is Armed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-At tho COM
ing meeting OF the National Guard Asso-
citation In Boston. January 10 to Is. he
most important Legislation sugges ed sine
the enactment Of the Dick INV, five years
ago. will come before the association for
discussion. A meeting Of the executive
committee Of the association was held IN
Washington recently with Acting S Gre
tary Of War Oliver and members of the
general staff, Mt which the provisions Of n
bill were agreed upon which will take the
piacc of the Dick act. 1t l. II very COM
prchensivc measure, and is believed by its
authors to Gbviate many of the difficulties
Which have heretofore prevented the mill
tia from complying with The requirements
OF the Dick act as to conformation.
Among important notifications is che
allowing each organized division of the
militia one inspector of small arms prac-
tise. with the rank OF lleutenant-colonel;
each brigade. one, wit the rank OF major;
each regiment Of infantry or cavalry, one,
with the rank of captain, AMI each seq
arate battalion or squadron, one, with The
rank Of first lieuteuant. The President is
to be empowered to specify IN his cal the
period Of service, when the organized
militia is called into service to repei in
vaslon or suppress insurrection, and the
militia snail be SO called into service in
~ dil1f VI aFf NbiHiiArEi iOltE WHICH IL
may be determined 10 raise.
Another important change is in Section
3. which now directs that conference.-the
for the trial of officers and men of the
militia, WHEN IN service Of the United
States shall be composed Of militia Of
ficers only This is to be amended so as
to make il read 'the majority member
ship" Of such courts-martia shall be COM
posed OF militia officers.
Probably the most important change is
in Section 10, which now empowers the
Secretary of War to issue standard maya
zire guns, bayonets, etc, to arm the
militia as the army is armed. II is pro-.
posed to amend this section by authoriz-
ing the Secretary Of War to issue from
time to time, "under such regulations as
he may prescribe. such number Of the
United States service arms and all acces-
series and such other accoutrements,
equipments, uniforms, clothing, equipage
and military stores Of all kinds required
for the army Of the United States. as are
necessary TO arm, uniform and equip all
the organized militia in the several states,

this act, without charging the cost or
value thereof against the allotment of said
state, etc. or requiring payment there

The Secretary is also authorized to ex-
change ammunition fer the new guns Tor
ammunition for the Krags, and old equip
ment thus replaced is to be turned in to
the War Department and the new equip
ment accounted for by the Governors as
provided by law. The Secretary IS further
authorized ia fix an annual clothing al
lowance to each State for each enlisted
man and to issue clothing annually in ac-
cordance with such allowance. and the
Governors are authorized TO drop from
their returns AS expended clothing CORE
spending in value TO such allowance.
Finally. the Secretary IS empowered TO
issue small arms and field artillery ammu-
milton upor the requis!tion of Governors

responding regular army allowance, With
out charge 10 the States allotment. This
is a most important section, as it provides,
In effect, for the arming and e%quipping OF

SURGEON SHIP
CHIEF RAISES
BIG STIR
Congress May Probe Refusal
OF Admiral to Transmit
ROOsevelt'S Order.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Not since
the days preceding the passage of the
personnel law ten years ago has the
feeling between line and staff of the
navy been so acute as it is today as
the result of the refusal of Admiral
Brownson to transmit orders from his
superior officer, the President of the
United States, assigning a naval sur
geon to command a vessel in the navy.
Through the published statement If
Surgeon-Gene Rixey, the merits Of
the doctors side of the case in this
instance have been clearly set forth.
Line officers believe that in common
fairness they should also have a hear
ing. But they are in an embarrassing
position in that respect. Admiral
Brownson preceded his resignation by
a cold, clear and logical presentation
of the reasons why he objected 70 the
assignment of a physician to command
a naval ship, ever though that vessel
were exclusively devoted to hospital
uses.
'rbs+ statement was submitted 20 IN
President and. notwithstanding the staff
has had its say In p int, applications ut
the White House for this letter are met
with refusal. Now it is Gle lrly impossible
for Admiral Brswuson or any Of his line
officers to make public a copy Of the letter
without mourning the risk Of n court mar
tial on charges Of disres Get towards their
superior officer. the President of the
United States. So they can only look for
a change in the executive mind or for the
congressional investigation which will de-
velop all the facts.
Ii may be stated. In the absence of the
text OF Admiral BrownsOa's letter, that
his objection to the execution of the
Presidents order to place a surgeon in
command of the hospital ship Relief was
tWo-fold. In the FIRST place, like every
line officer. he believed that the subordi-
nation Of any line officer. no matter how
low In grade. to n staff officer on ship
board, was bad policy and supverslve of
naval discipline. But n stronger objection
In his mind was that the proposed action
was clearly Illegal, inasmueh as it Is fo'-
hidden by law or naval regulation 10 as
sign a staff officer to command n ship.
1t is only fair to the staff sida to state
that this Is debatable ground and that IL
would not be difficult to construe the
naval laws and regulations In either way.
So It Is not to be doubted that when the
snbjec- comes up' before Coi.gress sJ co.
sideratlon. the lawyers in that body will
find material to support either contention.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Admiral George

Without fattery, it may be said that he
