FAVOR THE
NEW LAW

Washington, June S.-The Dick
militia bill is generally favored by
the national guard headquarters of
the various states, as 1t brings
more closely together the regular
and militia forces OF the various
states. Under the new conditions
the national guard becomes not only
a state militia, but II is a national
militia, responsible to the general
government. Before the national
guard OF any state can take advant-
age of the new law 1t must comply
with the provisions OF the old Dick
law relating to strength. equip
ment, efficiency, etc. as the new
law does not repeal the Dick law,
but is amendatory to 1t.
