Hon. Walter ]. Gilpatrick, ex-mayor Of
Saco, has recently taken up his new du-
ties as secretary of the pensions commit
tee of the Senate, where Senator john
son has just been made chairman. He is
very popular man at the Capitol and
there is much satisfaction over his desig-
nation by Senator Johnson for this place.
There are many callers at the pensions
committee, goodly portion of whom are
interested in the many pension bills
pending there. All are sure Of intelligent
and courteous treatment at the hands of
Mr.. Gilpatric. He had gained familiarity
with the ms and outs Of pension legisla-
ton during the many months that Sena-
tor johnson was acting chairman Of the
pension committee during the illness of
the late Senator Shively, Of Indiana, and
his selection for the secretaryship of
the committee was regarded as especial
ly appropriate.
The Senate is making progress with
the army bill but it comes slowly be-
cause there are SO many features of the
measure that senators want to inquire
into and which they want fully ex-
planned before giving their full approval
For several days there has been very
thorough discussion Of the features ap-
plying to the militia of the several
states. 1t is clearly the intention of the
Senate that the militia shall have a
large place in the new army and that
everything possible shall be done to give
militiamen and their officers good op-
portunity for federal service at the earii-
est possible moment in time of war
This requires very carefully considered
legislation because of legal obstacles. II
the states cooperate cordially with the
federal government at all times, many Of
the legal obstacles can be overcome
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts,, said
| the other day in debate that he doubted
, whether complete liberalization of the
militia could be accomplished without q
constitutional amendment but he. as vel
| as other Republican senators from New
| England. are giving their best though,
toward solving the problem as far a:
possible without such an amendment. Il
| is along and tedious process, of course
| to get any amendment to the Constitu
ton adopted by three-fourths Of thu
states. but many senators believe that 1

and tactfully with reference to the mill
tia, experience will quickly demonstrat,

Washington. April 7.-American
Consul fletcher at Chihuahua in a dis
patch received at the war department
today through Major General Funston,
told of some Of the results of the
clashes between American troops and
Villa bands at Auas Calientes on April
1 and the fight between the bandits and
Carranza troops near Cieneguilla,
three days later
Mr.. I.etcher said the fight at Aguas
Calientes resulted in the killing of 80
or 40 bandits by troopers Of the 10th
Cavalry under Colonel Brown. Browns
troops were reported as living for two
weeks on beef and corn with supplies
almost exhausted. A mining company,
Letcher said, had relieved the short
age by sending a special train with
supplies and forage.
