FEDERAL GOVERNMENT STANDS
FIRM IN REFUSAL TO ASSIST
THIS STATE.
Will Assist all States which are VIII
ling To Comply with Requirements.
but Governor Refuses TO Comply
with Federal Dcmands-State Will
Have To Maintain Militia, IL Com
panics are To BE Kept up.

Washington. June 24.-Becausc the
South Carolina state troops have
failed to come up to the necessary
standards set for similar organizations
throughout the United States, and be-
cause the governor of that State has
written the department several letters
from which it is inferred that no eff
for. will be made on his part to have
the troops meet the requirements, not
another penny of government money
will be sent to South Carolina to be
used for the militia in any possible
way.
This action dates from yesterday
at which time the war department
reached the conclusion, after receiv-
ing letters from the governor indi-
eating the troops would not be
brought up to the required standards
at this time, that, inasmuch as there
were other States which did make
their men meet the requirements and
which were doing all they could to
have their condition improved, it
would be unwise hereafter for any
further assistance to be rendered
South Carolina. Therefore no further
aid, either in personnel or equip
ment, will be forthcoming and what
ever troops are maintained there
VIII be so maintained at the expense
of the State of South Carolina and
not at that of the United States gov
ernment.
Ii was stated here today that this
action, while deeply regretted, was
absolutely necessary, after the war
department became thoroughly con-
vinced from the letters of the gov
ernor recently received that the South
Carolina troops would not be able, at
least under present conditions i'm that
State, to measure up to the. govern
ments standard.
About $4,000 is the amount that
the state appropriates for its militia,
II was said here. and against this
something like $4,000 a year all told
has been going there for maintenance
OF troops from the government.
Whether or not they will hereafter be
Kept up on this $4,000 a year is a
question that officers of the war de-
partment were unable today to an
swer.
Asked as to when this move would
take effect, il was stated that il went
into operation yesterday and that
from this time on not penny would
be forthcoming from Washington un-
less the requirements Just mentioned
are met. Whether the latter alter
native will be adopted, or whether
the governor will permit the orders
cutting off all federal aid to remain in
force is another question which the
war department officials are not able
to answer But whenever the State
shows that her troops can meet the
requirements, then the federal gov
ernment, through the war depart
ment, is willing that they should re-
ccive the financial assistance which
they have hitherto enjoyed. Until
that is done, however, they will get
nothing more from the government.
That is the upshot Of the whole sit
uation, tcrscly but accurately cx-
pressed.
