ed as such and their relations to the
federal government established and
fixed by sound legislation.
''This country has no military policy
The weakness of our method Of waglng
war was we'll illustrated in 1898.
"Our activities consisted in sending
three expeditionary forces, one TO
Cuba, one to the Philippines and one
to Porto Rico. In Porto Rico no bat
ties were fought. In the Philippines
our forces took the city Of Manila with
out serious opposition In Cuba but
one engagement that Of San
Juan-was fought. Yet the latter en-
gagement and the military operations
connected with it resulted in practical
decentralization of the army which con-
stituted that expeditionary force.
"The militia of the country under
existing plans consists of twelve divi-
sions. A division numbers $4,000 men,
so that the militia would provide IN
time of war force of 264,O00 men.
These divisions, however, other than
those of New York and Pennsylvania.
exist on paper only. The auxiliary
arms Cavalry. artillery, engineers, sig
nal, sanitary, etc. with few exceptions
do not exist. They are not divisions
in any tactical sense.
'The present status of the organized
militia is SO contrary to all military
principles that existing plans of the
war department do not contemplate
the use of the militia as such in time
of war but the organization at the out
break Of war of a volunteer army to
be made up, it is hoped, largely of the
organized militia. In other words. all
the preparation and training now go
ing on in the militia throughout the
United States are being carried on
with the knowledge that at the out
break of war the militia organizations
are to be discarded and new force is
to be created at that time and substi-
tuted in their place.
General Organ said there was in
congress a bill pending to provide pay
for the drill of militiamen which would
increase the cost per man about $50
year, but would make the original cost,
now less than 800, profitable. It would
give the United States a proper con-
troll over the militia.
General Organ said that New York
state has at present 1900 well equip
ped men, representing every branch Of
the service. The majority Of these
regiments would be able to take the
fcld in two months time.

Lavine had wandered off from his
patrol to have look round in neigh
boring wood on his own hook. He had

upon q squad of Austrians. Undismay-
ed, he promptly resorted to a typical
Cossack ruse. Looking back, he beck

shouted: Come here! This way! Here
they are!'
The Austrians followed the move
ments of his hands with the greatest
excitement. Believing he was the cap
tain Of full company, they promptly
decided to surrender. Lavine accord
ingly dismounted and advanced, sword
in one hand and revolver in the other.
He ordered them to throw down their
rifles, which they did, and then direct
ed them to march ahead of him. He
succeeded in bringing back to his sta
ton the entire bag Of sixteen soldiers
and three officers without firing shot.

Miss Hallmark on the Styles

Here is what Miss Harrydelle Hall
mark, the foremost American fashion
writer. has to say about the styles,
writing from New York:
Still the long tunic holds the CEN
ter of The limelight. There is not
the slightest sign Of its ceasing to be.
II still has it's difficulties and few Of
them are successfully overcome, but
women go nerrily on wearing il, and
possibly hide their heads in the sands
in order to avoid seeing themselves.
The plsated ones are evidently fore
runners of tho accordion pleated ones
which are promised in August. There
are many women who have already
taken UP these pleated skirts and find
them the solution of the present diff
hculty in walking.
You know the type Of made
tunto suits we have bought all spring
at a price around thirty dollars with
the excessively narrow skirt beneath
and the pleated overskirt above. And
II you have tried one of those you are
quite awere that you cannot safely
walk in 1t, and you surely cannot
dance in it.
So the clever woman has removed
both difficulties by lifting half Of the
lower skirt and substituting accordion
pleating This kind Of pIeating is
easily procured at the shops at a price
not prohfbit1ve and 1t can be attached
at home in a twinkling to the edge
of the lower skirt
The straight line In not broken, but
the feet are given more freedom than
they have had for two years. And
just here is the important point. The
reign of the combining skirt is nearing
it's end. OF that fact there Is little
doubt N the minds OF those who stand
in the watch towers. There is no
suggestion, mind you, of flare at the
hem. We have not gone that far
toward the styles of g decade ago. but
there Is the compromise OF the pleat-
ing, the only compromise that could
