the militia In the past has been the
confusion attendant upon their being
mustered into the service Of the Uni
ted States. The war department and
the President have been subjected to
all xmas OF pressure TO accept persons
not suited for military service, and to
make exceptions IN the cases of many
who were suited and called

CARNATIONS they could absolutely de
pend to respond to the call, and has
been compelled to accept troops wholly
unsuiteG to the service These condi-
tions have arisen, as a rule, from con
structions placed upon loosely drawn
laws, and it Is deemed to be of the
greatest Importance that the militia law
should be 50 clearly drafted that it Will
be thoroughly understood by all. Thus
mo0ted questions are settled in advance,
and the department will be able to
know in advance exactly what militia
and the character of the militia it can
depend upon in the event of war. Moth
ing should be left for the last minute,
and everything possible should be done
In advance to expedite the action of
the war department at the proper time
If the stress of war should come.
Need of District Armory.
Suitable armories are essential to the
efficient training Of the militia. Some
Of the States, such as New York, Mas
sachusetts and Pennsylvania have
adopted a wise and liberal policy in
regard to armories. but in other States
the accommodation Of armories is in
adequate and i'll adapted to the needs
both Of storage and indoor instruction.
One of the most fragrant deficiencies
in this matter of armories is to be
found in the district of Columbia
Other needs of the military service
are set out in the report, including the
addition of 6l0 officers to replace those
detailed from line duties for the staff
and militia work: the creation of a
reserve of not less than 100000 men
who have served in the regular army
or militia; the concentration of the
army in large posts; the reesta blish-
ment of the canteen and finally the in
crease of the Signal Corps and the
acquisition of aeroplanes

Genera Wood Emphasizes Lack

lack ol preparedness OF the army IN
case OF war. 1here are weak spots IN
many directions, he says, and most Sc
rlous is the shortage of field artillery
and ammunition, fault which should
be Immediately corrected. There is also
a great lack of reserve seacoast ammu-
milton. General Wood says that at the
present rate OF appropriations by con
gress 1t will take over fifty years to
secure reasonable supply Of ammu-
milton for the coast defense and a still
longer time to secure the necessary
number of field artillery guns and ann
munltlon. If the regular arsy and
organized militia at war strength were
called to arms today, says General
Wood, there would be shortage of
over fifty per cent in the field artillery
necessary to equip them. As this force
would represent only portion of the
force called to arms III case Of war
with tirst-cIass power, he says, the
gravity OF the situation becomes at
once apparent. In case OF war there
will be no opportunity to buy this ma

fatal to our hopes Of success.

SLAVES Of
'SN0W" IN
SPOKANE
Fiends Cater to Craving of
Army of Drug Slaves
Here.

There has been an alarming in
crease in the drug habit in Spokane
In the last year. While the police
have in a measure held down the
tendency to "hit the pipcr by white
men In the oriental joints on Front
avenue. the "hypo" fiends and users
of the new decoction called "snow"
have grown ten to one as compared
with the old-time opium smokers.
The police seem powerless to
stop this deadly traffic, which is
carried on extensively though Sc
cretly by some of the drug stores,
in spite of the safeguards thrown
around the traffic by the state
laws.
The recent death of Mrs Lottie
Fountain at 115h East Sprague,
due to the morphine habit, to which
she had been addicted for years.
recalls to mind the destroying
power of the drug habit. Mrs.
Fountain was addicted to the use
of morphine in the 'hypo' form
or by hypodermic injections. She
was young, full of life and energy,
when she began using it, and took
the first dose more TO please the
wishes of companion than be-
cause of any necessity for the drug.
The habit grew, tuberculosis set in,
and the woman finally died be-
cause of a heavy dose of the drug
from which she never rallied, an
an age under 25
For years Spokane's chief activ-
ity in the use of dope was smok-
ing opium in the Chinese dens on
Front avenue. The police offered
but little opposition in those days
and it was not until the govern
ment put opium under the ban and
made the practice too costly for
the hop fiend. that some other
forms Of JOY from drugs were
brought into more general use. The
celestials still hit the. pipe right
along, the same as they did in the
past.
After this came the "hypo" or in.
lection by means of syringe into
the arm, leg or some other part
of the body. For this purpose two
drugs were used, morphine and
cocaine, or coke" The "hypo"
habit, however, costs money. and
only people with steady incomes
can indulge it. The police have
known men who could not buy the
hypodermic syringes actually break
the flesh with a blunt instrument
of some kind and pour the dope"
into the opening thus made in the
body.
But most deadly of all is the
new drug called "snow." II is
