HIGH, SAYS COLE
Adjutant General Would Make
Militia More Efficient
GIVES REVIEW OF PAY BILL
Measure, Now Before Congress Would
Give Private $500 Annually
Depends Efficiency Of State
Trops Against Critics.

Hartford.-One of the most import
ant pieces of legislation before the
present Congress-. in the opinion of
members of the national guard of this
and other states, is the proposed
militia pay bill, providing federal COM
pensation for officers and men of the
national guard. Brigadier General
George NJ. Cole. the adiutant general
of Connecticut. in speaking of it, says
that its passage. with the accompany
ing federal supervision and examina.
tons. will be the next step in adj
vance for the national guard organiza-
ton to take.
Not New Measure.
The pay bill has been before Con-
gress for sevral sessions, and when
first proposed found amongi is most
bitter opponents. officers of the or
gained militia who feared that closer
federal supervision would prove fate
full for their notions of running a mill
tary establishment. Fortunately for
this state, the officers have always
been warm friends of any measure
which would tend to produce greater
efficiency. General Cole himself, has
been one of tn warmest advocates
of militia pay bill. and has many
times appeared before Congressional
committees to argue its merits. Cen
eral Cole in an interview given. The
Hartford Courant discussed the meas
ure as follows
General Coles Talk.
cat the present time, | consider the
militia pay bill an absolutely neces-
sary step in advance, and consider
that without it a higher state of eff
ficiency in the National Guard can
hardly be obtained The national
guard of this state is composed of the
finest material of which soldiers are
made. Officers and men alike are do
ing all that can be done under the
present conditions. If the United
States requires a greater degree of eff
ficiency. it must provide the means
for that advance. This, in my opin-
ion. must be done by providing federal
pay.

Objections Not Proper.

Objections Not Proper.
1.-THE objections raised by the war
college to federal pay aren OF, in my
opinion. proper objections. The war
college holds that no money should
be spent on trops that are not avail
able when war comes. Their reason
for saying this based on the opi.lion
of the Judge advoeate-genral of the
United States that the section of the
statues providing hat hi Presidf 1t
may order the organized militia of the
country for duty within or without
the territorial limits of the United
States, is not constitutional This
secion of the statutes was written by
a former judge adyocate-general of
the United States and was unanimous
" adopted by the National Guard or
CARNATIONS of the several states. Of
ficers and enlisted men of the Con
necticut National Guard entered the
service understanding that they were
eligible to serve within or without the
territorial limits of the nation. It is
their wish to do so, should their ser
vices be required 1t is what they
have been training themselves for
to be of the fullest service to their
country in time of need-and it
seems to me that if this section of the
law is unconstitutional it Is up to the
war department to propose such legis-
lation as will make this splendiA
force a force available for the use OF
the President in time of military
need.
at seems to me that this should be
done in any event. We have noticed
recently some advocacy of raising a
force for defensive purposes only. This
is proper and as it should be. but
military students will understand mt
when | say that very often if not al
WAYS, the offensive is the best defense
Therefore, it may be necessary for
us, in the defense of our country, to
assume the offensive, which might
mean the sending of troops outside
Of the territorial limits Of the United
States. Along with the military pay
bill, therefore, should be enacted leg
islation enabling the president to send
the national guard outside the limits
Of the nation. In the passing Of such
legislation there will be no opposition
from the national guard. In fact, its
members will welcome some legisla-
ton which is constitutional and which
will, once for all, settle the trouble
some question Of the legality Of the
services which they desife to render
their country.
ITO those critics of the national
guard who complain that it is in no
manner equal to the regular army, |
will say only, that II it were as eff
cient, we would need no regular army.
and that as it now is constituted, the
national guard is certainly more eff
cient than any volunteer army that
could be raised outside of the state
militia.
in the advocacy of the pay bill and
the federal control which necessarily
will accompany 1t, do not wish to be
misunderstood. This matter of fed
eral pay and of federal control in time
Of war, will not and should not de
prive the several states Of any advan-
tages which they now may have.

II Millions In Permits.

Bridgeport Bridgeport's gain in
amount of new buildings planned and
erected during the year 1915 was
greater than any city in the state.
According to records in the Office
of the building commissioners, be-
tween $11 100000 and S12,000,000
worth of building permits were grant
ed during the year just closed. Despite
the slump in the early part of the
year, the industrial boom thai has
marked the latter half has not only
caught up to all past records but has
eelipsed them by many millions. New
Haven issued something like $1,000
600 worth of building permits, but no
city in the state reached the totals
which Bridgeport reached.
