something, but it would be no easy
task to cut out courses not required

be the two extra years in 5erman, and
the course in physiology, and the spec

NAVAL MILITIA PROPOSED.
ORGANIZATION of Four Companies is
TN to the LEGISLATURE.

ORGANIZATION of Four Companies Is
Up to the Legislature.
Wisconsin may have a naval militia
of four companies organized on much
the same basis as the Wisconsin ma
tional guard. The committee on mill
tary affairs of the assembly has IA
yorably reported the Chapple bill for
the creation of four companies, to be
known as the Wisconsin naval militia.
Assemblyman Stack of Superior had
a bill of many similar clauses before
the committe, but it was decided to
report the Chapple bill, as it provides
for the creation of four companies and
the Stack bill makes provision for
eight.
The proposed naval militia is to be
commanded by an officer to be ap-
pointed by the governor and commits
stoned by him with the rank of lieu
tenant commander, who shall have
power to appoint staff to consist OF
one executive officer, with the rank
of lieutenant; one navigating officer
one past assistant engineer, one ord
nance and equipment officer, all with
the rank of lieutenant; one signal off
GER one assistant paymaster, one
chaplain and one judge advocate, all
with the rank of lieutenant, junior
grade; one ensign, who shall be aide
to the commanding officer, all OF
whom shall be commissioned by the
governor when so appointed. w.
