WANT NEW YORK MILIT1A.-Ihe oeC-
retarv OF War has sent 10 Governor pA
an invitation to have the organized milud
Of New York State represented In one Oh
tho camps Of instruction 10 be established
during the coming summer. similar TO those
Of last June. The benefits derived from
these camps Of instruction for infantry
militia have been such that the War De-
nartment authorities arc convinced there
should be no interruption in the system
The War Department hopes TO receive the
reply Of Governor Dix by the latter part Oh
February in order that the preliminary
arrangements may be MADE for transpor-
tation and the preparation Of the various
camps. The other states where the militia
is In condition for participation in these
exercises will be afforded an opportunity 70
be represented.
II is desired 10 arrange q programme
which will permit the militia organizations
10 have AT least six working days in camp.
This is exclusive Of the period consumed IN
travel to and from the place Of mobiliza-
ton. That period is short enough, the mill
tary authorities say. for the work conten1-
plated, and there has been a desire 10 ex-
tend the time by four or FIVE days This
would mean that the militia men Wouio
have TO BE- excused from their regular en-
ployment for two weeks, and some OF them
are unable 10 obtain such leaves OF absence
from their occupations. AS soon as II mas
been decided what troops are TO be sent 70
the various camps a programme OF WorK
will be outlined by the General stan. lhe
camp for the troops IN New York Will PROB
ably be- as usual at Pine Plains and IT is
believed the commanding officer vii be Ma
jor General F. D. Grant.
