GUARDSMAN A REAL FIGHTER
No Longer Member of 'Desplsed
Force. but Soldier of Great Army.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: While voicing no protest, nor ques-
tioning in any way the authority that
orders me out on July 4. permit me 10 put
before the public through the courtesy
of your columns some ideas that are over
looked by the majority OF those unac-
auainted with the work performed oy the
national guard.
The Dick bill has made us part OF our
regular army, or first line OF defence.
We have already felt the effect OF this In
the falling off in recruiting brought about
by the extra work entailed. Tne national
guard has during the last two years made
wonderful strides in becoming, under IN
struction of regular army of1cers, ca
pable, scientific, armed force, upon which
the regular army itself may rely in time OF
warfare for cooperation and support.
In that same space of time we have
ceased to be a "despised force" as those
of the regular army always considered us,
but by much hard and extra work are
gradually becoming a proficient, well or
ganzed, modern. scientific fighting force
The public would be surprised to find out
the number of men in the guard who,
without pay. give from two to four nights
a week to this great work all through the
winter For instance take the regular
weekly drill for all concerned, two nom
commissioned officers schools a month,
headquarters night weekly, when ma
jority of the officers of a regiment, all the
staff officers and non-comnissioned staff
officers assemble; several officers schools
during the season, where the higher
branches OF military work, such as map
reading, sanitary work, etc, is taken up
All this is done at some personal ex-
pense by a great many Of u.s. but we do
1t for our state and country not only cheer
fully but without pay
The splendid discipline shown by the
guard of this state in not voicing a storm
of protest has been most gratifying to all
in authority, I am sure.
Memorial Day. Fourth of July and Labor
Day are our only summer holidays. Two
of these we are to give up. and it will be
many years before another Memorial Day
and Fourth of July will come upon a Mon
day to enable US to enjoy a two or three
day unbrokeh holiday and rest.

PULLING TO OFFICIALS
Conflicting Reports of Situation
in Nicaragua.

Washington, June Estate Department
officials are somewhat at loss to deter
mine what is the true situation in Nicar-
aqua because of the conflicting reports they
are receiving. While Thomas P Monat
United States Consul at Bluefields, reported
on Monday an Estrada victory, the Ameri-
can representative at Managua sent gov
ernment reports of Madriz victories.
According to Mr.. Moffat, the revolution
lists under General Duron defeated the
Madriz forces at Pearl Lagoon after two
hours of fighting and are at present in con-
troll there. The Estrada side lost only six
men, while eight Madriz men fell and 15t
were made prisoners
On the other hand, Consul Oiivares, al
Managua says the government claims that
the Madriz forces defeated the revolution
lists at Nandaine and killed General Tala-
vera. -sE
The State Department may feel obliged
TO pay some attention to the action of the
Madriz gunboat Venus in bombarding and
capturing the Estrada town of Prinzapulca
on June 18 Consul Moffat says that four
shells were thrown into the town and at
the same time the Nicaraguan gunboat San
J Jacinto crossed the bar and opened fire
which continued for forty minutes.
The town was undefended and ungar-
risoned." the consul says. There were in
the town only the civil authorities, includ-
ing six police No notice of the attack was
given. The interests in the town are al
most entirely foreign
The last statement may relieve the State
Department from the necessity of interven-
ing to prevent any other such lombard
ment. because no protest has come TO the
department from any of the foreign IN
terests affected. State Department officials
regard the occurrence at Prinzapulca as
I highly significant and Indicating what
might have befallen Bluefields had not Cap.

The reasons given why the national guard

I should think the very best reason WHY
they should not parade is because they are

Our government. making the Fourth a
national holiday, certainly should not com

sentatives TO deprive the soldiers of their

MORE DENOUNCE PARADE
Justice Bischoff DepIores Hard
ship on Citizen SoIdiery.
Ex-GUARDSMAN'S COMMENT
Men Find Little Consolation in
Fact That March May Be
Over Before Noon.

Two former members of the national
guard, who feel at liberty to voice their
opinions freely as civilians in regard to the
order for the guardsmen to parade on July
4. did so Yesterday with pertinent opposi-
ton to the project. Both were of the
opinion that 1t would be an unnecessary
hardship for the men to march IN the
extreme heat Of the usual Fourth OF July
weather, and that the order was un1ust-
fed IN precluding the militiamen from en-
ioying the extended holiday.
Justice Bischoff Of the Supreme Court,
said OF the proposed parade:
Altogether, apart from the fact that
most of the men In the guard, who are
either employees or IN business for them
selves, have made arrangements for spend
ing their three-day holiday outside of the
city, I consider that a parade at midday
at this season is unjusttfed. I very much
question whether, even on active service,
commanding officer would order his men
out at midday in July to march or parade
unless the circumstances absolutely forced
him 70 do so. This parade may begin in
the forenoon. but It will certainly be on
in the heat of the day, and will cause
hardship to the men without any real
necessity. The men of the guard sacrifice
a good deal of their time to their train
ing, and they should not be called upon
to give up their holiday In the country.
ITO my mind, the trouble seems to lie In
the fact that no appropriation was voted
for the celebration. General Roe Is q men,
Der Of the committee. appointed by the
Mayor to provide for the celebration, and
when the other members Of the committee
urged that the national guard be called
out the general could not very well do
anything else. 1t does seem too bad, how
ever, that such hardship should be In
ficted upon citizens who have manifested
their patriotism by giving up their time
to military training besides depriving them
of the only holiday some of them can look
forward to during the summer"
New-York tribune., 1910-06-30
An Observation of the Methods of the
Great General.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mayor Gaynor is deserving OF un-
stinted praise in his efforts to demonstrate
that the American people have the capacity
to celebrate July sanely. In his SEEM
ingly arbitrary demand for the militia to
parade we trust he will be greatly inf1u-
enced by the views of the militia and the
wishes of their families and that he will
not attempt to discredit those who protest
against the demand as unnecessary and
exposing them to perils which the needs of
the public do not require at this time.
Those who enter the service have in con-
temptation self-deniaI, hardship and dan
gers. They have in the past faced the
perils of shot and shell unf1inchingly A
soldier in times of peace may feel that the
obligations of the family are higher than
the duty to parade in perils of heat to
amuse children, and no dscredit should
fall upon his courage or loyalty for taking
such a frank and manly stand
In bygone years the streets on Inde-
pendence Day have been lined with VIC
TINS of the heat. 1t has for years been
generally discontinued for this reason.
Why should New York re-enact a wisely
abandoned custom and march our fathers,
brothers and sons in perils when there is
absolutely no necessity of submitting them
to the risk? Washington preferred to re-
treat when he saw that he could gain per-
sonal glory in attacking the enemy, but
he first looked to the safety of his troops,
and would not submit them to perils that
he might win ineXtinguishable fame. A
great general always protects his soldiers
from exposing themselves to perils without
adequate compensation. Because a man
wears the insignia of warrior he should
not be reduced to servitude and immediate
his pleasures. health and life on an
imaginary altar of duty erected by the
peculiar whims of the powers that be

RESENT CIVILIAN INTERFERENCE.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me to state another reason
in addition TO those set forth in your cou-
pom why the national guard Should not
be required to parade on Monday in cbedi
ence to the Mayors fixed idea as Jt a safe
and sane Fourth. there is nothing which
the members of the guard are inclined TO
resent more than interference from
civilian officials. Theoretically. the men
are state troops subject to the call of the
Governor. BY virtue of the constitution ind
of recent legislation they also constitute O
a national force. So far as the state is
concerned they are regulars: in their
relation to the federal government they
constitute a sort of army reserve. .rheo-
ret1cally, therefore, their status is d dtgnt-
fed one, but practically it would apnear
that they may be trotted out at the re-
quesct OF any local official with fantastic
Ideas as to holiday celebrations.

PITTMAN WELL TREATED
American Prisoner Not To Be
Tried Until War Ends.

Bluefelds, Nicaragua, June 29.-William
P. Pittman. the Boston engineer, recently
captured by the troops of President Madriz
and charged with laying mines to repel the
attack on Bluefields. is receiving the treat
ment Of a prisoner of war at Bluefields
Bluff. The American naval officers are in
communication with him every day.
II is probable that Pittman will not be
tried until after the war is ended. and the
Aadriz commander will not be permitted 10
remove him from the Bluff until notifica-
tion has been given to the American Of
ficer in command and the propriety of such
an act taken under advisement
In his attack on the Madriz troops at
Pearl Lagoon, General Duron captured 100
rifles, one big gun and 10000 rounds of
ammunition. The result of the expedition
against the custom house is not yet known.

ASKS MAYOR TO BE CONSISTENT

TO the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Parades. for spectacular reasons
solely, are not properly part of the duties
OF the guard as at present organized. To
order such parade is foolish exercise of
executive authority. Anything foolish is
not consistent with a sane" celebration
The Mayor believes that the individual
members Of the guard prefer to parade
Let him, therefore, request the Governor
to rescind the order for parade and issue
instead request" to the guard to parade
with the understanding that only such as
desire to do SO will be expected TO be with
their organizations. He will then get a
good idea of the feeling of the individua,
