He says that hundreds of them would be glad to enlist and that he i satisfied they would make excellent soldiers He also pu forward the argument that the natives the government they should by right number of years in the army. At the time he does not say definitely that he is in favor of ccnscription.
 The recommendation is not likely to receive serious consideration but matter of fact there practical side to the commissioners idea If it is settled policy that the natives shall always be dealt with irresponsible wards their control ought to be strictly governmental function, and the closer it might be related to the military of the government the effective it would be.
