SENATOR BoRIlH
MAKES ATTACK
ON eUARDSMEN
Declares Federal Funds under
Dick Law stShamefully" IT'LL
ized-Cites Report to Support
Charge

washington, April s Two more pro-
visions designed to strengthen the federal
status Of the national guard were writ
ten into the Senate army bill Saturday.
In the course Of a debate enlivened by
charges that federal funds provided the
national guard in past years has been
foolishly thrown away and in some cases
embezzled, the Senate adopted amend
ments providing that all officers OF the
guard who have the rank Of captain be
paid $500 year by the federal govern
ment and that all guardsmen on enlist
ment be required to take an oath to obey
orders from the President as well as the
governors of their respective states.
Borah Makes Attack
The attack of guard officers for their
use of federal funds was made by Sena-
tor Borah in a speech opposing the Reed
amendment for federal pay. The Idaho
senator declared the 100000 available
for use of the guard under the Dick nili-
tia law had been "shamefully' utilized
by officers to the exclusion Of enlisted
men. and that some Of it had been 'em-
bezzled." Senators Reed, Pomerene and
others defended the guardsmen and the
federal pay amendment was adopted II
to IA.
To support his charge, Senator Borah
cited the annual report of the war de-
partment on the expenditure Of the mill
tia fund. Among, the cases he cited were:
+ Camp Of instruction, Alabama. 1872
Troops in attendance never in excess OF
one regiment; duration 20 days. Amount
paid to the members Of the staff depart
mont of the state who were not members
/ of the regiments participating. $2SSS.E
Camp Of instruction, Delaware,
1912. Troops in attendance four COM
panies. Total payments to officers ST.
937.s1; to enlisted men, $625.6O.
Camp of instruction, Mississippi,
1872 Enlisted men participating never
were at any time in excess Of 200. To-
tai payments to officers staff depart
ment $1,999.45. Duration of encamp-
ment 20 days. Total funds disbursed
in maintenance during the latter, In
GLIDING pay of rife team in 1911. was
$12,6692S, of which SS,S81.2S was paid
to officers and $4S9.39 to enlisted men.
At camp Of instruction in 1912, the
total pay of officers was $3.317.47; en-
listed men $54477; civilians $1,762. At
this camp the total sum Of $5,624.17
was paid for the instruction Of s4S OFF,
GERS and 80 enlisted men for a period
of 81 days."
Senator Reed introduced an amend
ment late Saturday to provide schools
to train young men as reserve officers
for the army and navy. The secreta-
ries Of war and navy would be author
six to - districts. each containing a
school for the instruction Of reservists
from IA to 20 years old. Enlistment
would be for 10 years, the first four
to be passed in school and the rest in
reserve.

The supreme effort of the Turkish
forces to oppose the further westward
progress Of the Russian central armies
operating beyond Erzerum recently
culminated in q stubborn six-days bat
tie. the importance Of which is scarce

Turks not only made a determined
stand along the whole front from the
Black sea coast to Bitlis, but organ
lied an offensive campaign, the evident
intention Of which was to recapture
Erzerum.
The first step in carrying out. the
Turkish plan was by sudden pressure
ef the Russian right flank, to cause the
removal of Russian troops from the
center to the black sea coast. Relying
upon the consequent weakening OF the
Russian center, the Turks then hurled
