"He says that hissposition is differ

obscure. In so far as he expresses his
own opinion, he does not differ from
the private citizen except that he
speaks under sense Of official re-
sponsibility: but where nation fate
is involved in policy every private
citizen who loves his country and tries
to serve it is conscious of response

that he is more deeply interested in
the welfare Of his country than the
millions who elected him to be for the

Plans for the organization Of Secre-

have been matter of speculation ever
since the proposition of a purely fed

National Guard Association Of the
United States, held at San Francisco
last week, details of the new move for.

public.
Maj.-gen. J. &. r. Foster Of Florida,
chairman of the executive committee
of the National Guard Association,
submitted q report of conference be-

executive committee, held at Washing
