LEXINGTON, KY, September 1.-THE
United States would be in a bad M If
war were declared and troops forced to
land in any foreign country. according
to Henry s. Breckenridge. assistant Sec
rotary Of war. and at present acting Sec
Rotary. who is here to attend the funeral
of his relative, Mrs. Margaret s. Skill
man.
Secretary Breckenridge declared that
only an amendment to the Constitution
can remedy the condition which now ex-
lists, because. according to ruling OF
Attorney General McReynolds. the state
militia cannot be called out by the ma
tional government in case war Is de-
clared in any foreign land. Attorney
General McReynolds holds that the ma
tional guardsmen are only intended Tor
service in the United States In case OF
instruction or to repel invaders. There
according to Mr.. Breckenridge. cannot
be placed upon proper offensive basis
without an amendment to the Constitu-
tiotion, which he strongly advocates.
Mr.. Breckenridge comes OF long
line Of ancestors who were soldiers,
and has long been prominent In mill
tary affairs of Kentucky. He assisted
in organizing the crack company OF
rifles here. and left his place In that
company when he was appointed as
sistant secretary Of war few months
ago.

wars must be fought by citizens. and 1t
was the intention Of the Dick law to
swing the entire National Guard. well
equipped and trained. into the regular
army before a single volunteer was
called for in case Of war;" he said. If
the Attorney Generals opinion Is
sound. this cannot be done without re-
enlisting members Of National Guard
individually into the regular army.
1.-The present high character of the men
In the National Guard. and especially
the keen interest taken by oaicers: II,
guardsmen would enlist. but this would
take time and in an hour Of emergency
the government would be at sea as to
upon which 1t might depend, and which
it would have to feed. clothe and trans
port.
Trouble Partly Met.
1.-THE difficulty ia being partly met by
including in the articles signed by en-
listing militiamen an agreement that they
will accept foreign service II called
upon. but this is not an agreement which
military authorities Of the nation could
enforce.
AT the time the Constitution was
adopted the classes Of service enumerat-
ed were doubtless deemed sufficient. but
with the great insular possessions and
other interests Of the United States I
do not believe the people will refuse to
authorize the calling out OF militia for
foreign service in time Of war. or that
there will be any falling OF in National
Guard or morale II such amendment is
adopted"
