Washington, Jan. lt.-Federai con-
tributions TO the support of the south
Carolina militia were cut ou last year
following a controversy between the
Governor and the War Department.
Federal inspectors reported that large
quantities Of federal property assigned
to the south Carolina militia could not
be accounted for by the state officers
and that in other respects the organi-
Nations were not complying with fed
aral renuirements. Under the law Sec
rotary Garrison held that no other
course was open TO him than to with
hold from South Carolina all elements
OF federal funds until the situation
was remedied.
The South Carolina militia figured
IN connection with President Wilson :

Governor Blease refused to let IL par
ticipate in the parade after he found
negroes Were--1o he included. The
Governor once wrote the department
In the defense OF the militia In his
State that If there were trouble in
Mexico the South Carolina National
Guard would be found right at the
front and not I'm swivel-chairs In
Washington and that he believed that
South Carolina militia could clean up
all Mexico by itself IL given the OPP
portunity.
