TO PRESENT BILL
IN LEGISLATURE
Military Establishment Must
Conform Entirely to Provisions
Of Dick Bill,
NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE NOW
One or Two Features Regulated
by State Law Must Be
Changed, However.

Referring to reports sent out from
Washington yesterday to the effect
that the United States War Department
was apprchensivc that many State
militia organizations would have to be
disbanded by January 2lst next, that
being the time limit allowed to them
under the Dick" law requiring them
to conform to the organization of the
regular army, General Charles j. An
derson, Adjutant-General of the State
of Virginia. said last night that the
Virginia military organizations had
been working in harmony with the pro-
visions of the Dick bill for the past
four years. Continuing, Gcnerai -ander-
son said:
THE Virginia militia organization is
now very nearly in harmony with the
provisions of the Dick bill. In fact the
inadequate provisions made for the
military service by the State. of Vir-
GINA. under a pitlfully small appro-
priation. the Virginia militia is entirely
dependent on the national government
for its equipment of all kinds.
There are one or two points IN
which our organization does not har-
moniZe with the governments reSu!a-
lions established under the DICK BIZ!
among others the ranking of certain
minor officers and the provisions, 1ot
physical examinations. Both or these
matters are fixed by State law. and
without an act of the Leglslature, thn
department is powerless to make the
change in order to comply with the
government regulations.
THE Virginia State Legislature meets
on the 10th of January. ana the tline
limit fixed by the Dick bill is january
a bill. through in the interval making
the Virginia military organization
comply with the government require
Irauts in all respects.
