Washington, Nov. 3.-Indications are
that the New York and the Mare Island
navy Yards will divide two big contracts
that will give employment to several
hundred men for year or more. The
substitution OF crude petroleum in large

the work at a lower figure than the New

Duties Comprehensive.

The major general is also, by virtue OF
his office. commanding officer of the
brigade and other military units Of the
national guard OF the state This is only
a modest part OF the state militia, the
whole of which. as has been pointed Ou;,
under certain circumstances, he shall
command. The major general is also
chief OF the Militia Council, which is adj
visory i'm its functions, and recommends
TO the Governor from time to time such
action as IL may deem advisable relating
To the military law. regulations. organize
ton. equipment, duty and discipline of the
militia. He IL also chief of the armory
commission, which has charge OF the ar
senals, armories and other quarters OF
the militia, camp grounds and rifle ranges
owned by the state and devoted to the
use of the national guard.
II iq nbundanuy plain, under the law
that the major general is charged with
and has duties to perform wholly sepa-
rate and apart from the command OF
troops, so that the disarmament of the
division. assuming that that could b.
lawfully accomplished. would not render
the major general surplus or unnecessary
officer.
Aside from that. the division Is not an
organization OF the national guard that

Brings Up Surplus" Issue.

Irrespective OF the moral side Of the
question, and what may be It's application
10 other officers, this method of removal
cannot be legally employed as a means
OF retiring major general. The Ian
gusge OF the section Is as follows:
Supernumerary and Retired Officers.
Commissioned officers who shall be
rendered surplus by reduction or dis
bandment OF organizations, or in any
manner provided by this chapter,
now or hereafter. shall be withdrawn
from active service and placed upon
the Superuumerary list.
A surplus means more than is needed.
That Is, an officer is rendered surplus
when there is no more necessity or re-
quirement for his services. For instance,
when two companies are consolidated
into one, II requires only one set Of com
pany officers, and provision has 10 be
made for Withdrawing surplus officers
from the active list. Also, when a regl-
ment Ia reduced to a battalion. there is
no further duty for reBimental officers,
and they become surplus.
These surplus supernumerary officers
nevertheless continue TO be officers In the
national guard. and may be detailed for
active duty and relieved from active duty
ly tho Governor. upon the recommends
tion Of the major general.
The situation In regard 20 the major
general Is entirely different. In the first
place, his status Is not the same as other
officers Of the guard. He IL the only Off
Ger whose nomination has to be con-
hrmed by the Senate, and he receives his
appointment by the Governor with the
consent OF the Senate. and his duties az
major general are manifold. Under GER
tain conditions defined by the military
law. he shall command the militia OF the
state. That comprises all the land and
naval and active and reserve forces OF
the state. It IS only the active militia.
which consists of the organized and uni
formed military forces OF the state, that
constitutes the national guard

Not Disciplinary, He Says.

As 10 the means by which IT was
| sought 20 relieve Major General . Ryan
from his command 10 place him upon
the supernumerary list, ] say without
| hesitation that the withdrawing OF an
| officer from the active service ana piac-
| ing him upon the supernumerary lSI
was not intended by the military law 10
| be used as a disciplinary measure.
| have seen IL stated in the newspapers
| that the action in General ORyans case
was sought 10 be justified on the ground
! that IL was intended a. disciplinary
measure. The injustice OF such course
! is apparent, as the officer has no oppoF-
| tunity TO be heard.
] II this provision Of the military law
We're permitted To be used as dls'i
| plinary measure in other cases where ~
/ has to be used legtimately IL would
| carry with Il a stigma which the law
did not intend should attach, any more
| than when an officer leaves the service
| by resigning his commission or an en-
listed man applies for his discharge.
! Adequate provision IL made i'm the mill
| tary law for the dismissal and removal
| OF an officer without his consent. II eN-
| pTessly provides that he shall not be re-
moved except by the Senate. upon the
recommendation OF the Governor or the
! sentence Of a general court martial, and
! In either case the officer has chance 10
| be heard. This is an application or the
! person shall be found guilty OF any Of
fence without first being confronted by
/ his accusers and having an opportunity
| TO speak in his own defence.
| regret to say, however, that the pro-
vision of the military law for rendering
Offices supernumerary has been frequent

moving officers from active service.
| Brigades have been disbanded 10 get rid

been wiped out or reduced to a battalion

should never be employed in the military
service. which is founded upon the high

latiou that punishments shall conform
