MILITIA PROBLEM UNSOLVED
Until state Can Promise Compliance
With Law, War Department VIII
Not Act.

Washington, July 9.-Apparently
the South Carolina militia situation is
az much of puzzle as ii was before
the two senators and several mem
berS of the house held conference
with Secretary Garrison last week in
the hope Of having federal appropria-
tions continued. 1t is evident that the
war department is not satisfied with
the situation as it exists at present,
at least to the extent Of authorizing
appropriations to be continued as
shown by a letter just sent the gov
ernOr of South Carolina by Secretary
Garrison, of which the following is a
copy:
II am in receipt Of your letter dated
July 2, 1913, which, however, did
not reach the department until July
s. In the latter part Of your letter you
quote a portion of my letter to you,
in which l stated what I was willing
to do and you said that you presume
that I am willing to do that. I am.
However, you have overlooked, or
omitted to respond, to that portion of
my letter in which l said that this
was promised upon your resu,-ring
proper relations with this department
by proper communication addressed
to this department. BY this, of course
l meant that l must have your assur-
ance that I can count upon your CO.
operation and assistance in bringing
about a compliance on the part OF
the organized militia of your State
with the provisions of the militia law
as enacted by congress.
Under that law I have no power
to continue to extend federal assist
ance to the organized militia of any
State which does not comply with the
law.
Upon the receipt from you Of the
assurance above alluded to, federal
assistance will be at once resumed.
and l shall be pleased to do so, and
the proposed State camps can ther
! be carried out under the condition.

Washington, July S.-The Senate

mits that he banded about i'm the mar

GOV. BLEASE AND THE MILITIA
Will Never Comply with Dick Law
Under Conditions.


COlubia, July 9.--When told tonight
that Secretary of War Garrison had
made public a letter to the Governor
of South Carolina, in which he said
that the war department would re-
sumo relations with the South Caro-
lima militia if the Governor would see
that the Dick law is enforced, Cover
nor Blease said that if the Dick law
requires that he muster out the eleven
companies recommended to be mus
tered out, he would never comply with
the law
Governor Blease reiterated that he
is willing to muster out the compa-
nies if, after another trial, they fail
to measure up to the standard re-
quired.
Military men here express the opin-
ion that If Governor Blease refuses,
as Commander-in-Ch of the State
militia, to carry out the provisions of
the Dick law. the encampments will
not be held. and that the war depart
ment will allow the State militia to
shift for itself.

The newspaper reporter comes mighty
near being a mind reader, but is
not quite. The newspaper wants the
news and thanks it's friend for each
item OF interest to the people. You
must not think that you are left
out because the paper Is Indifferent
to you and your affairs. All of its
friends look alike To- a newspaper
and IL cannot tell the difference be-
tween friend and an enemy by his

FIGHT TO / FINISH.
BULGARIA TRYING TO CRUSH
OTHER BALKAN STATES.
ServianS Have Lost More Men i'm
Present Campaign Than i'm the
Whole Previous War-Desperatc q
Fighting Going On-GreeIs Hold
Fast to SaIOniki

London, July 6.-After 10 days
hghting, more severe than any in the
last Balkan war a little light begins
to break upon the obscure operations
The Servians have lost more men than
in the whole previous campaign, and
semi official statements from Bel
grade have the appearance Of prepar-
ing the public for news Of disaster.
Desperate fighting with fuctuating
fortunes, is proceeding along the Var
dar and Bregalinitz rivers, apparently
to Bulgarias advantage News has
been received Of the Bulgarian inva-
sion of Servia through Belogradchyk.
The Bulgarians claim to have defeat
ed the Servians and captured five guns
and quantity of other material, and
have opened the road to Nish, Ser
Was most important fortified town.
There is heavy fighting between the
Servians and Bulgarians south of Is
tip and in the neighborhood Of Kotch-
ana. About 100000 men are engag-
ed and the losses on both sides appear
heavy
Bulgaria's strategy appears to be to
hold the Greeks in check, probably
with comparatively small forces, while
she deals with Servia.
Unconfirmed reports credit the Bull
gars with victories near Koprili, Civ
ing them the key to Uskup, and with
an outflanking movement from the
south of Tahymos lake which would
cut off the Greek retreat. Saloniki dis
patches report that the Greeks
hav" captured 16 guns at Doiran. Ev-
idence of desperate fighting is found
in the arrival of 5000 wounded at
! Saloniki.
conservative estimate Of the kill
ed or wounded in last weeks fightin.
is from 10000 to 10000. Thousands
of destitute refugees from the scene
OF fighting are pouring into Saloniki
The Greeks have made charges
against the Bulgarians of burning and
pillaging all the villages they aban.
don, and Of committing murders. mu-
/ tilations and other horrors.

then begun.
