me that l had been swung back to
medieval times and this woman was
moving within the palazzio as she had
moved there several centuries before.
When she had passed beyond me. In

fists again against my eyes to restore

That was the last view l had or the

MILITIA NOT TO GO.
Only Officers Will Attend Maneuvres
in the South.

IN the ooutn.
In contradiction of countless rumors
that the citizen soldiers of the United
States are about to be called forth for
active service in connection with the
present campaign" along the south
ern frontier, officers of the army point
out that such action would be impos
sible because there is no contingency
at this time, as prescribed by law,
which would warrant it.
The Dick" law, enacted eight years
ago, prescribes the constitutional
causes authorizing the president to
call out the militia. This act, carry
ing out the intent of the constitution.
enables the president TO call to arms
the militia of the states, territories
and District of Columbia TO 'repel an
press a rebellion in the United States,
or TO enable him TO execute the laws
of the union" As the country now
faces none of these emergencies, il Is
said il would be impossible for the
president TO call out the militia at the
present time.
In this connection, it is reiterated at
the war department that there was no
intention even of inviting or requesting
the enlisted men of the militia to take
the field at this time.
Officers Of the organized militia,
however. are giving enthusiastic and
prompt response 10 the war depart
ments invitation to participate in the
military operations along the southern
frontier Already 1909 officers of the
national guard have accepted the invi-
tatlon. This represents responses from
only twenty-one states.
