Militia Neglected by Uncle Sam.

To the Editor Of the Mall Bag:
II Congress is In earnest about
strengthening the national defense why
doesn't it do something for the Or
gained militia. Our regular army costs
far more per man than any other IN the
world, and should be as efficient as
many of them. Many men are serving
IN the militia at a great personal sacri-
flee. and their patriotism should be
recognized. 1t is expecting rather too
much of them that militiamen attend
all inspections. encampments. range
nractices and drills without pay. In
case OF war our citizen soldiery will
as in the past, do most OF the nsnuns-
iected branch Of the service on an
efficient basis. The people are op-
posed to a large standing army. IheE
would be willing to allow the militia
a small monthly pay and make Il earn

FOREIGN EXCHANGE ADVANCES
New York Market Is Demoralized by
Further Material Rise.

NEW YORK. September 2s-The
foreign exchange market was demoral-
lied today by further material ad-
vance in cables and demand bills on
London. which were quoted at 5.02 and
sol, respectively. These quotations
represent an advance of cents pound
sterling, compared with last Satur-
days rates. and efface much of the
ground recovered in the past fortnight.
The advance was explained In part
by the existence of a large speculative
short interest, which based its hopes
on large shipments of grain and cot
ton.
The proposed hundred million
dollar gold pool also has been expected
to effect a reduction of rates, but de-
lay in the completion of this plan has
worked to the disadvantage of the short
interests.
