different"
Colonel McElroy's article recalls that

SAWS, Grand Army men told some of

forts be made TO induce the President
to withdraw his declination.
From Sunday until Friday" the

sion Of Christianity"
The Rev. Mercer Green Johnston

he was unable to satisfy his parishion-
ers by running MS church like a gro
Gerry, made this declaration yesterday

Of his household goods preparatory TO
sending il to Baltimore.
Several months ago he had an
nounced his intention TO leave his
church. Sunday he preached his last
sermon. In the corner OF the study
bare save for a typewriter, one table
and two chairs. stood the church an
nounccment board bearing the text OF
his farewell talk: "0ther sheep have

GEN. A. L. MILLS
DIES SUDDENLY
Army Chief of Bureau of
Militia Affairs Victim
of Pneumonia.

Washington, Sept ls.-Msjor Cen
eral Albert L. Mills, Chief Of the
Bureau Of Militia Affairs, holder Of the
army medal of honor for bravery under
fire, builder Of the new West Point,
and president OF the Army War
College, died here to-day after fifteen
hours illness from pneumonia APP
parently he was in the best of health
when he left his desk in the War De
partment late Saturday afternoon.
Secretary Baker issued statement
tonight, in which he said:
81 have deep sense Of personal loss
in the death Of General Albert L. Mills.
From the time Of my coming TO Wash
ington he has been more than Jealous
in his self-sacrifcing devotion 70 the
affairs of the Militia Bureau, Of which
he was the head, and his patience, wis
dom and kindness have greatly simpli-
fed both my task in becoming familiar
with the War Department and the diff
ficult undertaking which fell to the
department upon the call of the militia
TO the Texas border.
Gave Strenth to Work.
PLAINLY the devotion of General
Mills 20 his work took strength with
which he might otherwise have been
able to resist the sudden illness.
Few officers in the service have
had more distinguished or varied
career. In active military operations
he was severely wounded, but re-
covered his health and became the
builder OF the new West Point, which
is undoubtedly the most monumental
military school in the world. His last
years have been spent in reorganizing
the militia and bringing about a
higher degree of sympathy and CO.
operation between it and the regular
army.
His death marks the passing Of a
brave soldier, a cultured educator, a
fine administrative officer and an up
right gentleman"
Native OF New York.
General Mills was a native Of New
York, and was appointed 10 the Mill
tary Academy from that state in
1874. He served with distinction
through the Spanish war and the
Philippines instruction, and in 1904
vas promoted By President Roosevelt
from captain 70 brigadier general.
Only last month he was commissioned
major general.
Before becoming head Of the militia
division General Mills had been presi-
dent OF the War College and supern-
tendent Of the Military Academy. He
worked out the mobilization plans for
the state troops which operated
successfully during the Mexican border
situation.
The task Of federalizing the state
troops under the reorganization law
rested largely on General Mills as
chief Of the militia bureau. His work
was greatly complicated by the fact
that the troops we're called for border
duty before there had been opportunity
10 work out the new scheme.
General Mills leaves, besides his
wife. a son, Lieutenant Chester P.
Mills. Of the 9th Cavalry, and a
Laughter, Mrs. Emil P Laurson, wife
of Lieutenant Laurson, Of the 18th
Cavalry.
