NOME, ALASKA. MARCH 10. 1914

Five yeas ago there was passed hy congress a bill which became a law and which was know as the Dick law. IL referred tO the national guard which is maintained by the several states and it had a very worthy ob- J"ct in view that was making the torditions of service in the state mill itia as near to that of the regular army as was possible This referred Ip the numerical strength of the com mands to the qualifications for the officers to drill and methods of ac. counts.
 The militia hailed the bill with de- light and thought that now they would be so near like the regulars that one could hardly tell the differ ence between them. It was great to have the close connection with the regular service which the yearly joint maneuvres gave and it was great t. do things just like the regulars. The nctional guard was delighted with the till and with itself.
 Then the provisions of the bill went into effect.
 That was five years ago. and now the national guard. or good part of the national guard are heartily sick O: the Dick law and would like to have it repealed
 For five years many of the guard organizations have spent from one .o tree weeks in the field with the reg ulars. The regulars have been used a models and the national guard has been whitfield and trimmed and boost ed until it coms somewhere within a thousand miles of being almost re- coniZable as soldier after one of these two weeks tours of duty with the men of the regular army. But the national guard does not like the ol eration of being made into soldiers a.d it ould severe it's connectiol T with the regulars and go back to the LId way of doing things when each rt girnent could have very few private SC ldiers and lots of officers and could select it's own uniform and confine it's military duties to one full dress parade on Decoration day and the onthly hope" at the regimental aImory.
 In other words the provisions of the Dick law took the national guard en- t'rely too seriously and insisted upon considering the militia of the several states as soldiers when in most in- stances they were more or less fanci- F. dressed social organizations.
 The militiman wanted the uniforms and the armories and the parades ant

It appears to be generally conccdc Tow among informed people that con ncCting the great lakes system of NCrth America with the Atlantic ocean for the accommodation of scI- going vessels of the deepest draft is " problem of international politics rather than one of engineering Aside from the fact that Great Britain holds the gateway of the basin of the &.

 IHsht there was where the shor .'chcd the militia. It was the disrl- lo'nr and the tremendously hard and 7,ri"us work or being soldier
 And so the national guard or the st te militia, have decided that the law which makes them real soldiers for a few days each year Is not for their Lest interests and they want 1t re, pealed.
 All of that may not be at all inter- e!ting to the average American who is engaged In the daily grind of mak- ihg both ends meet. But 1t is in real ivy matter to which far too few Am orleans give any attention. ' Letting the militia drift back into nrmilitary state 1t was in before it began to run itself on the regular "rmy plan puts that many men wh, "' count upon for national defense .tSt that much farther away from tho 1 St'ndtrd necessary tu make them of tl.I value in the field when they are needed
 There are roughly d few more than { 'ne hundred thousand men in these n iiitia organizations and other mili- tHlN organizations who could be called ! 1l"n in time of actual war. and f i ~ "y Were maintained at the standard which modern military judgment says 1 rproNimated as near tu that stand i ,ld oS possible. they might be of som, i aiuc iu an emergency
 L.ftting the militia drift back to the 1 d. Ns of the Eold-lac red white and pink coats of dress parade means just that many less men partia lily prepared for war. It puts the whole thing up to the regular army in other words when hostilities first break out. Ter pink coated and pink tea sol rt,rs will be of no value when il '"mes to a modern fight
 The militia objects to the regular nmy discipline and it is just tha: same discipline that will keep them steady under fire when the men who eve 1t not are on the run for the "o"ds. They complain of the hard and disagreeable work of the combined ilanuevres when it is this doing things | like the regulars do them that will 1 mold the volunteer army in pIace l V len the nrtrs-L A-- -,-- .,..

This desire on the part of th, mili- ti' organizations to get back tn the status in which they were before tha usage of the Dick lin proves just "le thing, and aoain We quote in an '.' t"ral the words of George Wash
 ms 'n--" Regular IT, ops alone are H.ual to the eX cehcies of modern WaI:are
 l ., If there is any hesitation on tho ! Iart of any member of congress in i supporting the requested and very Leccssary increase in the regular arm ! oi the United States he should first l take q glance over the foreign rela : tl' ms of the country, then get the idea out of his head that rifle and T 1 uniform will make d soldier. and then 'ok into the reasons why the na- tonal guard does not like the Dick il. which turned them from dress parade soldiers into something ap- ! roNimately the real thing.
 When il comes to national defenc, | tEcrc is not any use fooling oursclVt $ with the idea that every American i:' a soldier We will have to depenl on the regulars absolutely during tho tlst months of the war and We mig well have enough of them to mak, that dependence worth while.

telegram TO the Russian emperor in
final effort to avoid war, and the en-
perors reply, have been made public.
The king, expressing the opinion that
there had been some misunderstood
ing to lead to the breaking off of ne
gotiations, said:
81 make a personal appeal TO you
to remove the misapprehension ana
leave open the ground for negotiations
for possible peace"
The Russian emperor replied that
he would have accepted the proposals
had not Germany declared war.
Germany" says the emperor
Showed no disposition to mediate
and her preparations and those OF
Austria made il imperative that Rus
STA should mobilize. But | gave cate
gorical assurances TO the German em-
peror that the Russian troops would
not move so long as the negotiations
continued.
The reply continues:
Il trust that your country will not
fail to support Russia and France.
