What Experience Has Taught.

In explaining why the Red Cross So
cletE must exist. Miss Boardman said
Experience has taught all nations that
in any serious war it is impossible for the
medical service of the armed forces to
adequately care for the sick and wounded.
This is not because of any inefficiency on
the part of the medical service hut he
cause ii would require another army to
care for the sick and wounded of almost
equal proportions to the armed forces
nder the great humanitarian treaty
Of Geneva. which has to do with the care
OF the sick and wounded both of the army
and OF military prisoners. alike protection
and naturalization is granted to the au-
thorized and volunteer aid societies of the
Red Cross as that granted 10 the regular
medical service"

Militia of the United States.

With the enactment of the new law
the militia of the several states and
territories passes from the statute
books and it becomes instead the
militia of the United States. The Ma
tional Guard, which has heretofore
been national in name and national in
spirit becomes In fact a national guard.
1t is a part and parcel of the military
esta blishment of the United States.
The National Guard as it exists to-
day consists of about 10000 officers
and men. To be what the act contem-
plates this force is to be increased to
$4,000. 1t is believed that with the
present sentiment in favor of prepared
ness and with the actual nationalist
ton of the guard those men who are
actually DESTROYS of seeing that the
country is adequately prepared will
come forward and give the country the
benefit of their services.

New Organizations Needed.

New organizations are needed to
build the guard up to the point OF
numbers that Congress expects The
District is we'll represented now. but
further troops should unquestionably
be organized with as little delay as
possible.
The bill to increase the military
establishment of the United States.
which Congress has just passed. is I'M
doubtedly one of the most important
bills of that character ever enacted.
For the first time in the history of our
country Congress has seen fit to avail
itself of the constitutional right to pro-
vide for organizing, armins and disci-
plining the militia. For more than 100
years the development of the militia
was left almost entirely with the sew
eral states Beginning with the pas
sage of the Dick law in 1909 there has
been gradual change in the organiza :
ton of the militia. all looking to a
closer conformity with the standards
of the regular service.

States Reasons.

MISS Boardman gave the reasons why
there must be one organization and only
one. charged with the responsibility for
'etlef work in time of war
F'irst--the government which is a sipna
tory power to the treaty of Geneva must
itself guarantee the responsibility and re.
liability of the relief society She eX-
planned that the Red Cross must no, be
used 10 protect the transportation of am
munitfon and supplies or il will lose its
power OF protection for real Humanitarian
workers.
Second-It would be impossibI,. 10 al
low men or groups of men to organize
regiments in time of war and fight in
dependeniiy-so with the relief work for
the SICK and wounded, there must he a

Third-To prevent confusion and dupli
cation. f

against infringement by unScrupuious or
misguided persons attempting to raiss
