liberalization of Militia.

For liberalization of the National
Guard the bill adopts. with numerous
notifications. the plan proposed by the
National Guard Association. The rate
of pay for officers. however. was set at
$500 year for all of the rank of cap
tain or above, ssoo'fo first lieutenants
and certain specified staff officers and
$3.50 for second lieutenants. The as
ISOLATION plan proposed higher pay Tor
general officers.
Enlisted men would receive pay on
the basis of fourth of the regular
army pay, and would contract on en-
listment to serve the United States in
time of war The enlistment period is
fixed at six years three with the colors
and three in reserve, and organization
Of the regular army is prescribed.
Provision is made also for examina-
ton of all officers appointed by state
authorities and for the inclusion of Of
f1cers of the National Guard IN the
personnel of the militia division of the
War Department..
The National Guard provisions of the
bill probably will be substituted by the
House provisions when the two bills
reach conference. The Senate commit
tee gave particular attention to the
regular army features, while the House
made the liberalization project,its main
object. Since the same general out
line is followed In both bills. the agree
ment will not be delayed, it is thought.
