THE NEW MILITIA

At last, under the new army bill, the
United States has overcome what has
been characterized by Major General
Leonard Wood as the greatest obstacle
to real efficiency of the national
guard. With the taking of the oath of
allegiance to the federal government
the militia passes from state control to
control of the United States war de
partment and no longer will the diff
culties and red tape that confronted
the mobilization of troops at the time
Of the Spanish war and more recently
when trouble with Mexico threatened,
be encountered.
Now, since the state troops have TAX
en- the federal oath. they may be con-
sidered an integral part of the United
States army They are real soldiers
now, subject to war duty, and not
mere puppets to be used by excited
governors to settle disputes, although
strike duty still remains one of the
necessary requirements of the guards.
| Indeed, the question arises as to
whether or not, in time of strike trOu-
BILE, the governor of any state can call
out the militia without the sanction
and direct orders of the war depart
ment, since now the state guards are
no longer state guards. They might
better be known as United States re-
serves.
Since the troops have been ad-
ministered the federal oath they may
now be sent to any point. within or
without the boundaries Of the country,
without having to go through any such
red tape as uncovered so many slack

numbers of the militia refused to take

impossible under the law, for them to
be ordered across the Mexican border.
Now, whenever the troops are called
to the colors, they can be sent any
where, and the militia has reached the
dignity of being an important arm Of
the military service of the United
States In other words the army of
the United States has been augmented
by many thousands of trained soldiers
to be used in case of necessity, and that
at a cost to the country comparatively

trick Yet down the centuries comes
the voice of the old Jewish king OF
thinkers for whom monographs and
films, airships and electric cables were
uncon cefved:
Where there is no vision the people
perish"
Visions! No dream of conquest over
the forces of nature or the chance OF
fortune is now regarded as Madness
1t is only when men dare dream OF
spiritual conquest. of becoming mas
tiers of the forces of the soul, That
their brothers cry: Visionary" and
turn ;sway with shrug or frown. Yet,
even IN visions of lesser moment 1t is
rarely that the first dreamer OF any
dream lives. And the man who went
ways he must tell his dream to an
other, and he to another, and when I'm
ally the dream lives as fact the brain
that conceived it is dust. Yet the
dream lives And tire man who went
out to the starlight has had passed
down to him the greatest dream or all
the vision that Solomon saw and told
in words that cannot die, the vision
that Christ saw and spread gloriously
before his followers, the vision that
Paul saw and entrusted to those who
came after him, the vision that in ev-
cry generation since has found so
called Missionaries" to follow the beck
on of its shining finger, the vision that
foretells the development not of man S
work but of himself. 1t is a vision so
bright that those who dare look fully
at it see at once the ephemeral nature
of all those other dreams of which the
realization seems so solid.
A climax in the development of the
discoveries of science seems to have
been reached. In appalling measure
those discoveries are now being turned
to evil and destructive uses. Farther
advance seems to threaten all rather
than good to the race. Many are be-
ginning to see that the new advance
must be made along lines leading to
the development of humanity, that
much of the most valuable material on
earth is now lying unused or ll-used,
that soul forces now fallow or ill-di
rected contain the power, if developed
with the same intensity of purpose
that has been accorded the develop
ment of less precious material, to re-
adjust a world out of joint.
Against the black background of the
twentieth century the vision shines
very brightly. Here and there one
lifts his head and, seeing it, cries:
Look my brothers!" Visionary"
they cry in answer sadly or contemp-
tuously But: Without vision the
people perish" and the Creator never
meant that His people should perish.

Maria, when the man who had won

him a look OF anger. then, when the
searching began, fell upon her sisters

be let off without exa animation. Re.

she cast about for some means OF get

Maria was required 10 take on her

Vera contrived 10 slip the paper into a

this, and hope sprang up within her.
When the search was finished and
nothing found the result was reported
to GrenthalL Having done all he could
in the matter, he withdrew his as.

was dressing.
The paper was a valuable one for the
Russian government, and the sisters

without being noticed. The next morn.

Before the pan European war wa
Americans supposed that our affairs
did not interest other powers. Since
then we have awakened to the fact
that every government has a spy sys-
tenn within the territory Of every other
government England, France, Italy
and other powers keep secret service
workers in other countries. OF all the
Germans have the most perfect and
extended organization. And yet some
of the principal fields Of the working
OF the German propaganda In America
have originated with the British secret
service men. While these systems may
have been strengthened and enlarged
since the opening of the war, there Is
reason to believe that they have always
existed.
Austria and Russia have always been
watching each other on account Of the
persistent encroachment OF the two on
the Balkans. Some years ago two Rus.
sian girls, sisters, went to Vienna as
spies for the czar upon the intentions
Of the emperor Of Austria regarding
schemes to carve Austrian provinces
out Of Balkan territory. One of these
girls. Maria, obtained a position as
copyist in the Austrian foreign office.
The other, Vera, kept house for the
two In rooms in an apartment building.
Since they were in the pay of the Rus
sian government they did not want for
anything.
Maria was under the orders OF Cas-
par Grenthall, a man who conducted
one of the bureaus of the department
In which she worked. He was a hand
some and otherwise attractive man,
and when he made love to her she re-
ciprocated. When they were not en-
gagged IN the Office he took her out to
the gardens and other places of amuse-
ment and by his kindness gradually
won her heart.
1t was not long before Grenthal pro-
posed marriage to Maria Though she
loved him, she hesitated to accept him.
Indeed, his being a spy complicated
the affair, making her very unhappy.
Then suddenly Maria received a
shock. One day when she was at work
girl occupying a desk beside her
slipped bit of paper among those be-
fore her. Maria unfolded it and read
that she was suspected OF purloining a
certain document that had passed
through her hands. GrenthaIl had won
her in order to find out If she were
stealing such documents. Her room
would be searched that evening.
Maria was not only disturbed at dis
covering that Grenthall had deceived
her, but in terror at the suspicion that
existed against her. Either her life or
a long imprisonment would pay the
penalty. AS soon as office hours were
over she went to her room and told her
sister what had occurred. She had
stolen the paper in question, and it
was concealed in their apartment
