WHERE THE MILITIA yAzIx.
Admonition from ; Well Known nsl
 uIar Army Ofleer.


 It is refreshing to read the Rdmoui- tory circular which has been sent 70 adjutant-generals of the various states by the direction of the assiat- ant secretary of war from Lleutens ant Colonel E. M. Weaver of tho coast artillery corps, chief of the di- vision of militia affairs. The war de- partment has received information in reports of army officers who were present at the recent field maneuyers and exercises, in which the organized militia had an opportunity to partlci- pate, that many of the enlisted man of the organized militia
 were without adequate preliminary instruction in the school of the s0l- dier' and other elementary parts of the instruction of the recruit and that in some instances enlisted men were carried on company rolls who had never appeared in military f0r- nation before reaching camp" It ia further remarked that 1t is consid- cred profitless and an unnecessary expense to the state and to the United States to have men partici- pate in coast defense exercises or other field maneuvers or exercises who have not received some previous instruction in the home armories in the school of the soIdier,' small arms firing regulations, and manual of guard duty.'
 It is, indeed, "profitless and an unnecessary expense" to maintain field maneuvers and exercises for the benefit of militia recruits who have not had the preliminary instruction which will enable them to get any practical benefit from this association with the regulars or from tour of duty at the maneuver camps and the coast artillery stations. It is, in fact, a discouraging outlook, after so much has been done by the federal govern- ment for<the encouragement and aid of the militia of the country, that in the year when congress has ap~ propriated $5,000, ,000 for the exclu- sive use of the citizen soldiery'' there should be occasion for any such protest as has now been addressed to the adjutants-general. This re- monstrance-convey 1t is agreea- ble to note, in no uncertain terms in the circular letter of Colonel Weaver lis associated with the information that the war department will not hereafter approve the muster and payment from United States funds of enlisted men of the organized militia who have not been bona fide members of the organization for at least six months prior to the date of the commencement of the joint field maneuvers or exercises, or have not had equivalent service in the army, marine corps, or organized militia of the United States, and who have not been reasonably we'll instructed in the school of the soldier.' small arms firing regulations" and man uaI of guard duty" It is considered that no recruit Is fitted to appear in the formation of any company, troop or battery, or is available for active duty in the field under section IA of the act of January 21, 1903, who has not received instruction to include at least certain specified fundamental | work Army and Navy Register.

DRINKS FROM GAS JETS
One Way of Evading the Prohibition

Law m MdlHEs
 Eben w. Sears of Lynn has re- turned from his vacation in Lewis-' ton, Me, with remarkable tale ok the way liquor is served in the pro- hibition state. Sears says that . friend took him into a place where several men were drinking and orr dered some beer. The room was without furniture or fixtures, save for one table, few chairs and the gas jets.
 While Sears was wondering where the beer was to come from the pro- prietor stepped to a gas jet and turned 1t on, whereat the amber fluid flowed forth as from the spigot of keg. The proprietor filled the glasses of Sears and his friend, and then two other for customers drew forth two mugs of ale from another gas jet. After that he produced g glass of whiskey from third jet.
 Seeing that there was several more gas jets in the room Sears, as test of the proprietor's resourseAs was about to call for Martini cock. tail when suddenly there wera alarms and scurrying without, fol- lowed by a noise like a squad of liquor deputies.
 Instantly the proprietor sprang to corner and pressed an invisible button. Wondering what the effect of this might be Sears turned on tho beer gas jet, but nothing came forth.
 "The gas is shut of, said tho nroprietor with A wink. Sears WaA unable to learn where the liquor came from. He says he thinks tha proprietor had tanks in the walls.
