too many who were afraid of giving
"A command that their subordinates
would not enjoy carrying out, too many
who desired to he popular at the ex

lnrity. All this was wrong and the
sooner line officers are appointed by
the higher authorities and attached To-
companies, batteries and troops. jus
80 much sooner will the remaining
pink tea soldiers be eliminated from the
National Guard.
AS far as pink tea soldiers are con-

The National Guard has been thrown
into an uproar apparently because the
members feel that a slur has been cast
