,The Militia.

little more can be done than al
ready has been done in the very inn
portant work of instruction of the or
ganzed militia until some provision
is made by congress which will allow
the department to assign officers on
the active list of the army to duty
with the militia, which is now impos-
sible owing to the dressing need OF
officers for regimental service.
Unfortunately, the secretary points
out, the existing law does not lie
clare distinctly the exact extent to
which the militia may be employed
in the service of the United States
and legislation should be had thae
would enable the war department to
determine in advance of war just
what officers and troops of the militia
can be depended upon for service and
their suitability The present law
was built up piece meal during and
since the Spanish-American war and
is at BEST only temporary measure.
The secretary says that a compro-
hensive act providing for the organi-
zation of volunteer army only after
congress has made a declaration OF
war would be of inestimable value ir
the country ever again is confronted
with foreign war. Such lcgisla,
"on wot-I permit of the preparat.o on
in time o. peace OF all the necessary
plans for the organization, equipment
and supply of a volunteer army and
the selection Of places for mobilization
thus avoiding delays that might be
