Militia Incomplete
and Unbalanced, Says
Brig. General Mills
By Associated Press

Washington, d. c.. Jan. 19.-Con-
dibons in the organized militia of the
country are, on the whole, far from
satisfactory in organization in strength
and in training, according to Brigadier-
General A. L. Mills, chief Of the
division of militia affairs of the War
Department, in his annual report to-
day. In his opinion, the militia's or
ganization is top-heavy, incomplete
and unbalanced; it's strength is much
below the important items necessary
for field service, and in training Is on
the average far below the standard
required for efficiency in time of need.
General Mills declares, however that
despite decrease in numerical
strength in the militia, the past year
was one of considerable progress and
improvement.
General Mills believes that this i'm
provement may be made more certain
by enactment of militia pay law. He
strongly urges federal and State CO..
operation on the ground that the or
ganized militia's welfare can be fos-
tered only in that way.
Some of the States are severely criti-
cised for failure to take proper care of
the government property so that about
million dollars worth was dropped
or carried on suspended account
The strength of the militia at the
end of the fiscal year was 9,13O Off
GERS and 111,672 enlisted men, a net
decrease of IL officers and 1893 en-
listed men compared with the preced-
ing year.

In reply to an inquiry as to his

Henry Darlington, Episcopal Bishop
of Harrisburg, the Protestant Epis-
copal Church, has stated that he
