MILITIA BELOW STANDARD GENERAL COLE CRITICISES Directs That Men Not Available for Active Service be
 Discharged.
The following is issued from the ad- jutant generals office:
 STATE OF CONNECTICUT.

jutant generals office:
 STATE OF CONNECTICUT.
 The Adjut .. Generals Office.
 Hartford, November 13, 1907
 The order for the inspection of the organized militia of this State will, i'll all probability be issued at an early date.
 The attention of company command CTS and others is directed to the im- portance of8 having their uniforms, arms and field equipment including field ranges and cooking utensils. in perfect order. 4
 It was expected that the olive drab uniform would be issued in time for this inspection, as arrangements have been made for it's issue; but at the present moment 1t seems doubtful, as the uniforms are not yet received at the arsenal, The inspection, therefore, will be in the khaki uniform.
 It is noted that at past inspections, the question has been asked company commanders by the inspectors as to how many men would report in case of trouble, and the reply given by some compahy commanders has been eighty per cent, eighty-five per cent, ninety per cent, etc. This office does not un- derstaAd why such a reply is given to this question. If ten per cent, fifteen per cent, or twenty per cent. of the men are not available when wanted, then their discharge should be imme- diately applied for. The equipping and training of militiaman IS somewhat expensive, and no money should be put upon a man who would not be available when needed. If company commanders have the interests of the service at heart, and it is presumed that they have, they will sec that no man Is kept in the service who has no intention of being present when his service is required It should not be necessary to

 Although 1t was not definitely stated that I confined my remarks to the. white people of the south, the gen eral impression throughout the country Is that I did so. I wish to affirm in the possible that I not only made no such statement at Battle Creek, but I have never made such wild, sweeping and false statements anywhere in my life"

COMBINE TO
BEAT YANKEES
London Capitalists Will At
tempt to Head Off Amer.
iCan Trade

LONDON, July A great combina-
tion of iron and steel manufacturers,
similar to those existing in the United
States and Germany, is in@course of
formation in Great Britain, with the
avowed object of combating Ameri-
can and German competition, which is
increasing. Nine big companies, head
ed by Vickers' Sons & Maxim and in
Guiding John Brown & Co., which re-
Gently was amalgamated with the Har-
land & Wolff company, have already
absorbed 36 previously independent
concerns, which will give them control,
it is estimated, of about 80 per cent
of the steel produced in Great Britain.
It is probable that the combination
win involve regulation of prices, ad-
justment of output to demand and
equal distribution of orders.
What is primarily aimed at, it is as
serted, a combination strong enough
not only to control the trade of Great
Britain, but "to dominate the steel
trade of the world"
The combined capital of the pro-
posed combination is s1S0,00O,0OO.

STRIKE ORDER
is WITHDRAWN
Chance Now That COmprO-
mise May Be Effected
Between Parties

SAN FRANCISCO, July 4.-Presi-
dent Small, of the Telegraphers' union,
it is stated, has temporarily withdrawn
the order given to the operators in
other cities who, it is believed, have
been ordered to go on a strike within
the next few days.
The action is believed to be taken
by Small pending the arrival at Chi
Gago of Labor Commissioner Neill from
Washington and the outcome of his
efforts there to prevent a general strike
of telegraphers.
1t is also taken as an indication that
the chance Of compromise between the
telegraphers and the employers are not
entirely dissipated.
President Small is quoted as saying
that there is no likelihood the strike will
be extended along the coast.
