overtaken by the irresistible desire to
sleep, he had lain down in the drift.
Late that night the whole party Of
Indian cargadores turned up one by
one completely exhausted. They had
encountered the same storm that had
swept over us. but by forming a shelter
with their packs had escaped the
worst OF its effects and had come
through scatheless.
BY arrangement with the native
hotel manager and his wife we made
our beds on the tables in the one avail
able room and were soon fast asleep.
The following morning broke fine and
clear and the Captain. after an OBJ
servation of the weather from the tun-
mel mouth, decided that we would make
our crossing over the Cumbre pass,
where on the border line stands the
huge statue of Jesus Christ as an in
destructible sign that peace shall ever
prevail between the Argentine and
Chilean nations.
The image. as we learned, also serves
other and more grim purposes. Dis
cussing the undesirable characters who
make the mountain fastness their home
when they flee from justice in the
cities, all Argentine official described
to me the drastic measures that are
necessary to cope with these lawless
men. He detailed the punishment meted
out to minor offenders without refer
ence to any court of justice. and then,
when l asked concerning those guilty
OF graver offences. he shrugged his
shoulders and made reply: What more
can a man desire than to die in his
own country and in the shadow OF
Jesus Christi"
II was to view this spot where sum-
mary justice is frequently dispensed
that we started out after an early
breakfast, the Captain leaving instruc-
lions that the pack Indians We're to
follow in two hours. From Las Cueras
the boundary line is some Ave kilo-
meters, and we had not covered quar-
ter of the distance when directly ahead
we saw the ominous signs Of a COM
ing storm. Quickly we turned in our
tracks and made for the shelter of
the hotel where we had spent the
night, but before we had reached the
tunnel we experienced the full force OF
the wind driven snow, which fortunately,
however, was at our backs. The jour
.ney over the Paso de Ia Cumbre had

and Holbrook and brought up the rear.
At first the going was comparatively
easy: the snow though knee deep, was
fairly hard and the trail clearly de-
fined by the tracks of our Indians. For
nearly five kilometers we travelled, II
not exactly in comfort, at least with
perfect assurance OF our safety. BY
noon we had overtaken the cargadores
and the guides and the Captain do
cided to push on in advance to insure
our reaching the mountain hotel before
nightfall. After a hasty lunch we took
one guide and preceded the rest OF the
party, who, trained though they are to
mountain climbing and heavy porterage
work, were severely handicapped by
our heavy instruments.
On our left lowered the huge peak OF
Cerro de Torloze and on our right that
Of Cerro de Nevarro. Up the gulch be-
tween the two, now floundering thigh
deep in the snow and the next moment
slipping on some hidden rock, We went,
rejoicing in the fact that each step
was bringing us nearer our destination,
and that without apparent danger or
probability Of disaster. Alas! we re-
joiced too soon.
With the suddenness of a tropical
storm in the doldrums, with the speed
Of a tornado on the Kansas plains a
| snowstorm broke upon us.
Almost as suddenly as 1t had come the
blizzard disappeared; 1t passed, and the
sun, which was still above the peaks,
shone on a clean carpet OF snow devoid
of any tracks or trail. OF our guide
there was Tot ;hs s,.shtes; trace.
With a word Of encouragement Capt.
Besley started up the slope after a hur-
ried glance at his compass. and we fol-
lowed him. Feeling his way with his
alpensock, he presently found firm
snow, and We knew that with unerring
instinct he had hit the trail. For two
hours we labored on. specializing as

therefore to be abandoned and our
leader decided to pass through the IA
nous Transandine tunnel, which, cut
through the mountains. connects the
two republics.
AS the storm showed no signs Of
abating by noon and the conveniences
of the hotel were not such as to induce
a stay We determined to make a dash
for the tunnel, which was only three
kilometers away and on the down grade
This undoubtedly was the hardest IL not
the most dangerous part of the Jour-
ney yet made. With our snow glasses
firmly fixed and our heads completely
covered with the woollen mufiers we
struggled on, our eyes fixed on the feet
Of the man in front. Our one aim was
to place our feet in the deep impress
sions made by his. Ahead we could
not look; and had those footsteps led
over a precipice, we must have followed.
Less than two miles was the actual
journey until we reached the tunnel
mouth, and yet it took more than the
same number Of hours to accomplish IL.
At last the cries Of JOY from our Indians
announced they had gained shelter, and
in the rock hewn passage they took their
loads. From then on for two miles of
Stygian darkness we travelled in COM
parative comfort. A huge block of ice
or culvert occasionally met with were
the only things that caused annoyance;
and late in the afternoon we caught our
first sight Of the Chilean snow field.
Our hopes that the storm would have
abated on this side Of the mountains
were doomed to disappointment. From
the small opening left by the drifting
snow we saw the blizzard was raging,
II anything with greater force. Cara
coles, the last station on the Chilean
Transandine Railway, is, fortunately,
situated close to the tunnel, and as the
Indians were obviously suffering from
the effects of the initial stage of the
journey the Captain decided to camp
there for the night.
A brief struggle landed the whole of
the party on the substantial station
veranda, and the telegraph operator the
only official in charge. made us welcome
while he piled US with questions re-
garding our trip. In this haven of
rest we spent the remainder OF the
afternoon and the night.
From the operator we learned Of the
severe conditions existing on the west
slope of the Andes. Owing to the sharp
angle at which the mountains rise from
sea level avalanches are more frequent
than on the Argentine slope. For the
same reason, although the trail now
was downward and our climb finished,
he warned us OF the dangers TO be met
with between his station and Juncal,

Divided Control Is
a Constant Menace.

Everybody in the army and in the
national guard knows perfectly well
that this divided control Is a constant
menace. The effort of late years has
been not to remove 1t. but to diminish
it by decreasing the States share Of
control and increasing that OF the ma
ton. 1t has been sought TO accom-
plish this by national contribution to
the support and equipment of the
State troops. But Just as long as the
germ of tho trouble remains in the
system it Is liable to break out into
renewed activity at any time. exactly
rs is the case with the malaria germ
in the human system. The one and
only true remedy is to cut out the
germ.
To do that Congress has far greater
power than It has to continue tho at
tempt to improve the present system.
which all our experience has proved
cannt be perfected This Is the power
conferred by the Constitution upon Con-
gress "to raise and support armies" :"
That is all there is to it. 1t is full and
undivided. The only restriction on it is
that no appropriation for such purposes
shall he made for a longer period than
two years. With Congress in session
every year that restriction has no limit
ing power that in any way menaces tho
success OF whatever action Congress
might take.

been made and over II discussion and
argument have ragged hotly for years.
The fact remains that Texas had de-
clared and established her own indie
pence from Mexico some time before
annexation to the United States took
place, and 1t was this annexation which
brought on the war. But ever since that
time. whatever might have been the pre-
Nailing sentiment among Americans
prior to that, we have been so extremely
sensitive on the subject of national aE-
Sression that we have leaned over back
ward in the effort to make sure OF
standing up straight.
And tho cry of lingo" or "iinCoism''
Is still an effective weapon of partisan
politics. The war with Spain furnished
q clnching illustration. for despite the
long and increasing provocation We re-
fused to take the final step until there
should be coupled with 1t the authorita-
tive declaration of congress that we
were not making the war for aggres-
sion, and should not under any circum-
stance take territory in Cuba.
We have always endured long provoca-
ton before making UP our minds to
night. For years prior to the encount-
crs OF Lexington and Concord the
Americans had endured every form OF
indignity. Protest and petition for re.
dress were the weapons employed for

Here is the Solution
of the Whole Problem.

In theory Congress has power, under
the Constitution. to provide the train
ing for the militia. But In fact it has
no such power for the authority Of
training the militia under the system
provided by Congress is reserved to tho
States, and Congress has no power to
enforce the system of training 1t pre-
scribes
But Congress has the power in fact to
provide and enforce a system of train
ing and discipline for any force which
it establishes under its unlimited au-
thority to raise and support armies"
And therein lies the true solution of the
whole problem. Let the States go on
ma intaining their national guards for
their own State purposes If t"CY wish.
There need be not the slightest inter
ference with them by the nation. or
with the national organization by them
But let the nation cease to waste
time and effort and money upon an es-
tablishment which Is not and never
can be brought under its undivided
control. Let the nation turn to the en-
ployment of its own resources under
its own unquestioned power, and with
absolutely undivided authority and con-
troll. The way lies wide open. The
field is unoccupied. 1t is simply up to
Congress 10 act.
