PROSPECTS NOT GOOD
Believed Militia "Pny Bill" VIII Fail mt
This Session.

Especial to The Times Dispatchl
Washington. January 3I.-lnvestiga-
ton made here to-day shows that the
prospect OF securing an appropriation
az this scssl II OF Congress 10 help the
National Guard OF the country is not
bright. There has been considcra bio
speculation for some time as to wheth-
or the National Guard would be aided
by the Federal government at this ses-
sion. 1t is learned that the matter
has not yet been even seriously con-
sidered by subcommittee of the House
Committee on Military Affairs. This
subcommittee must first investigate
and then turn the subject over to the
whole committee.
Two main reasons a-e assigned why
no aid probably will be forthcoming
now in the pay bill" The War De-
partment is doing everything possible
to reduce It's expenses. trying to cut
off useless reservations and otherwise
curtailing its establishment. In addi-
ton to this the House has Just saved
4O.ooo;0oO in refusing to have pub
lie building bill and to construct more
battleships, and 1t Is said that this
policy Will be felt in other bills. The
prospects. therefore. for the pay bill''
passing are not good.

which is sclf-expIanatory:
The Mississippi Children's Home So
ciety, an institution of which | have the
honor to be honorary chairman, has been
doing and Is doing a great work for the
homeless children of this state. This
institution was organized only a few
months ago, and the object and purpose
being to find all the little helpless chill
dren in the state who did not have q
home, and find a home for them.
I'VE have succeeded in finding one
hundred and ninety-twO children without
a home. We have succeeded in placing
sixty-two of these children in good, COM
Portable homes where they are being
well cared for. We have now one hun
bred and t~hirty-two children ready to
be placed in homes as soon as the homes
can be found. We have secured and
made investigation of several homes who
are willing to receive and adopt quite a
number of them, but the funds have
run short. We are about $3.50 behind
with the work. There is no greater char
liable work that can be engaged in, IN
my judgment, than this, and am gong
to ask every person in the state who y
willing to contribute something in tins
prosperous year to this good work 70
