DICK LAW COMP LIED WITH BY G.. N. 6. New Order From Washing ton Does Not Effect
 State Militia National Guards Associa- tions Stand Overruled By
 War Secretary

Washington, Jan. 5-A clean issue has been made between the war de- partment and the national guard as- lsociation of the United States upon the point of organization of the Militia forces of the country. By direction of Secretary Garrison, Major General Wood, as chief of staff of the army, has issued a circular. announcing the decision of Judge Advocate General Crowder that the militia must con form in organization in the standards of the regular army, else they will be deprived of all federal financial sup port.
 When the Dick militia act became effective in 1908 a period of five years was allowed within which the militia of the states was to reorganize to con form to regular army standards.
 That was that the state militia should be organized into brigades and divisions.
 The brigade was to be commanded by a brigadier general and the division by a major general and when the war department last August issued a cir cular requiring the military organiza.- tions to conform to the above require ment, it developed the fact that the1 e was a great surp1usage of high rank ing officers.
 The national guard association has
 
 quirement that major and brigadier generals resign unless they could re- cruit their ranks on the ground that there is not sufficient authority in law for defining the organization of the lbrigades and the divisions and that 1nasmuch as it has been physically inn possible to secure these organizations in the United States army and as like conditions in many states make it aI- so physically impossible for the states to comply with the provisions of the circular
