PAY FOR NATIONAL GUARD
House Committee Hears Plan To
Federaiize the State Troops.
Would Begin July I.

WashlngtOn.-The proposals of the
National Guard Association for ma
tio~nalization Of the state troops have
been placed before the military COM
mittees in the form of a bill drafted
by representatives OF the association
at the request of the senate commit
tee. The regulations contemplated are
given force By a provision limiting
participation in the federal pay feature
to officers, men or organizations COM
plying with certain specified require
ments.
The scale of annual pay proposed is
as follows: Major-generals, $500;
brigadiers. $500; colonies. 5000; lieu
tenant-coionels, $3.50: majors. S525;
captains. $500: first ~lieutenants. $500:
second l~ieutenants, $3.50. Enlisted
men would be paid on the basis OF 26
per cent Of the pay rates OF the regu-
lar army, a private receiving approx
imately $45 a year.
The maximum number Of troops pro-
vided for by the bill is 500 for each
congressional district, or a total peace
strength of approximately 200,0 o0. an
increase Of 10000 over the present
strength of the national guard. They
would form a separate branch OF the
regular army in time of war when
called into the federal service. The
act would take effect July /, 1916.
An enlistment contract would be re-
quired, under which the soldier would
bind himself to serve the federal gov
eminent, within or without the con
tinental limits of the United States"
for a period of two years or until dis
charged, should the guard be called
out at any time during his three-year
enlistment period. The enlistment Pc
riod of any soldier whose time was
close to expiration when his regiment
was called III would be extended au-
tomatically.
It is proposed to do away with choice
Of officers by election, and commits
sions would be limited to specified
classes and granted only after exam
nations by the war department. Pro
motions during active service would be
made by the president from the COM
missioned force or ranks OF the ~
g%anization, dependent upon the grade
to be filled. This clause Is aimed at
appointments from civil life.
At least 4S drills a year and partic-
| ipation in annual field maneuvers
would be required. An elaborate sys-
| tenn of regulations for training and
discipline has been worked out.

ERzERUM TAKEN
BY THE RUSSIANS
STRONG FORTRESS IN ASIA MINOR
is GIVEN UP BY THE
TURKS.
FELL AFTER A HARD FIGHT
City Will Be of Great Strategic Value
To the Victors, Who Plan Crush
ing Conquest Of Turk
isA Domain.

London.-Led by Grand Duke Mich
olas, the Russian army Of the Caucasus
has captured the great Turkish fortress
of Erzerum, in Eastern Asia Minor.
The following official statement has
been given out in P~etrograd:
Grand Duke Nicholas has tele-
graphed to the emperor as follows:
"fGod has granted to the brave
troops of the army Of the Caucasus
such great help that Erzerum has been
taken after five days of unprecedented
assaults.
81 am i~nexpressibly happy to n
nounce this victory to your imperial
majesty"
Thousands of Turks were taken pris-
oner when the fortress fell, and great
stores of munitions and supplies fell
into the hands of the victorious troops,
it is believed. The blow is the most
serious yet struck at Turkey. Early
relief of the British forces operating
in Mesopotamia, including the beleag-
ured garrison al Kut-et-Amara, is pre-
dicted.
The fall of Erzerum is expected to
open the way for a huge advance by
the Russians through Eastern Armenia
in the spring. Constantinople itself
might be imperiled. By this contem-
plated drive the Russians, it is said,
hope to bring Turkey to her knees.
The Russian campaign was unpar-
alleled in military history. The ad-
was pressed across a bleak and
rugged country, w mountains and
through narrow defiles in Arctic cold.
Russian official reports state hat at
places the soldiers fought their ad-
vance through snow Is feet deep.
Erzerum, a city Of 10000, is about
60 miles west of the Russian frontier.
1t is surrounded by a ton wall built
by the Turks three centuries ago. On
the eastern side a high mountain ridge
outside the wall protects the city from
attack from the Russian Caucasus.
Along this ridge were located most of
the stronger forts.
The city has belonged to the Turks
for four centuries.

LUSITANIA CASE MAY END
Germany Will Probably Please
the United States.

Washington-Germany is understood
to have agreed to the suggestion of
the United States that she substitute
the words recognizes liability" for the
words assumes liability" in the tenta-
tive draft Of the communication design
ed to settle the Lusitania case. The
revised draft has been received here
from Berlin. 1t will be submitted to
Secretary Lansing by Count Won Berns
torff, the German ambassador.
Several other changes desired by the
United States and described as being
of minor Importance also are said to
have proposed a change in the Ian
guage suggested by the American gov
eminent.
From high Teutonic authority came
the statement that 1t was expected
the Lusitania case would be finally set

States and Germany at the confer,
ence between Secretary Lansing and
Count Won Bernstorff. American Off

to be prepared to make the tentative
communication a formal note setting
forth the instructions which have been
given him by the Berlin foreign office.
Several other changes desired by the

have been made. In one instance. how
ever, Germany is understood to have
