WOOD FAvORS
PAID MILITIA
CHIEF or STAFF OF ARMY BE-
LlEvES COUNTRY WOULD
GET ITS MONEYS WORTH IN
THE MATTER.

Washington Feb. 9.--Maojr General
Wood, chief of staff OF the army. ap-
peared before the militia committee
of the house today to advocate the
bill to establish the organized state
militia of the country on pay basis.
He said the regular army is SO
scattered throughout the insular pos
sessions that only about 10000 men
are ready for immediate service
within the country's border. II the
war department is to count on the
aid of the militia, he pointed out, ii
must know that the militia is up to
a definite standard or efficiency, and
that it would respond when called
upon.
General Wood expresses the belief
that the country would get its
worth If II gave a nominal
monthly pay to the members OF the
militia.
