AN ARMY OF MILITIA.
Progress Making in the Training Of
the National Guard.

From the New York Sun.
Gen. Organs description of the
work going on in the training of the
CITIZEN soldiery of this state must have
produced no inconsidera BILE amount of
astonlshment in many minds. The

zen. y Ryan's publication of the fact
tnat the state troops now have their

men who instruct the cooks Of the
regulars. is gratifying. So, too, Is it
sood to know that artillerymen are
learning their duties scientifically. and
tnat similar training is going forward
IN all branches of the service This
work cannot be carried too far, and
there Is room for the employment of
many varieties of skill
Men who can drive and care for their
own automobiles, men who enjoy the
excitement of aviation, those who op-
crate amateur wireless plants, for ex-
ample, are material for military train
ing. because their skill can be utilized
in war. The further the ramifca-
tions of the National Guard training
system reach. the more valuable the
organization will prove to be If called
into active service. And the more
nearly the militia includes ready men
of every type the more closely will
it be able to affiliate itself with the
regular army, of which it must become
part in war.
