ouARTERS NEEDED

One of the most crying needs of the local National Guard is adequate quar- ters. In all the state there is hardly an armory worthy of the name In Birmingham the infantry companies and the hospital corps are quartered on the top floor of the city hall They have space enough for the storage of equipment but none for other purposes. They have the use of the auditorium for drill and instruction, but there is hardly enough space to maneuyer a squad properly, much less a company. Even that little has been mostly taken away, for half the space has recently been taken for new offices.
 The field artillery worried along for years in the quarters given by the city, with the guns and other valuable equipment stored away in whatever nook and cranny could be found. But the government finally issued orders to move, for Uncle Sam is not in the habit of allowing his property to lie around loose. It was case of get proper quarters or quit. So at last the batteries rented large warehouse which serves the purpose admirably, but which also takes a large portion of their none too large appropriation. The balance left after the rent is paid would hardly buy an automobile. Yet there is no way around the situation. The city cries mo available funds" and that settles it.

citizen soldiers receive very little at-
 tention.
 l It occurs to the writer that therein i lies the chief fault and flaw of the 1 whole plan. Why not, instead of seek i ing to form new volunteer armies, en s 1 large and improve the one we have I There are in this country 120,00O na- tional guardsmen. They are scattered about all over the country and repre- sent every branch of the service They are already organized, officered and equipped. Why not increase them to an army of half million men? This could be done with far less expense than most people suppose.
 It is no secret that there is a great deal the matter with the National Guard. We all realize that it is not efficient, that it has too many bosses, that in some states there is too much politics and in others too little CO., operation with the federal government. But it must be remembered that the fault lies at the door of the system and not of the men. The system is outgrown, antiquated and obsolete. No one can serve two masters. No military body can serve both the state and the nation efficiently. It is impossible to make the great mass of the people take the guard seriously. The cry of "tin soldier" is still raised It is also i'm pO9Slple lO make many WOrk1ng men realize that the sole duty of the guards men is not to shoot down other work ing men As a result the officers have grave trouble keeping the companies recruited up to the requirements. And the natural result is loss of efficiency.
 As it is now the nation could not depend upon the organized militia. The men would do all they could, but they could do little. In spite of great progress in the recent years, they are far below the standard required for field service. It is the earnest desire of every officer and man that they be given a chance to make themselves efficient but they all realize that un- til the federal government takes com plete charge the guard can never be anything but the state organization it has always been.
 bill is now pending in Congress which, if passed, would do much toward rendering the National Guard more fit It provides a schedule of pay for the militia which would compensate the members for the time and money spent in the service. A private soldier would receive one-fourth of the regular army pay, and the officers in proportion the scale diminishing as the officers rank increases. Thus the private would re- ceive about $4 per month. While this sum would not by any means enable ury or to spend his nights in wassail it would reimburse him for the actual time and money given to the govern

ton greatly impressed with the need of immediate action for flood control
 There will be immediate action,'' said MT Humphreys, the committee having determined to begin hearings as soon as possible after returning to Washington These hearings will be continued until the committee has thoroughly informed itself as to every method of flood control pro- posed and is prepared to make it's recom- mendation to Congress. This trip has been an invaluable object lesson to every committeeman and it will lead to def mite, substantial and prompt results so far as this committees work is con cerned.'
 Representative Dennison of Illinois ex- pressed the opinion that if the United States army is increased in size under the preparedness programme, it would be an excellent idea to use the soldiers to patrol the levees during the flood sea son and assist in the work of stopping threatened breaks in the embankments. This he believed, would prove valuable training for the soldiers, as that work was akin to making entrenchments. and the quick building of Notifications.

1 ment It would do more. At present the various organizations receive cer- tain appropriations from the state, county and city. While sufficient for bare existence, it by no means enables them to meet the numerous obliga- tions that must arise. If the militia pay bill were adopted the companies could speedily raise fund by contri- buttons from the members that would purchase necessary equipment. An even more valuable effect would be the encouragement it would give. We all like to be appreciated This little stipend would give the militiaman to understand that his government appre- ciated his efforts and valued his serv- ices

Guardmen Want Only a Lit tie Appreciation to Be-
 come Highly Efficient
CANNOT PROGRESS
 WITH TWO MASTERS
Lack of Adequate Quarters Is Also One of the Chief Handicaps of the Guardsmen of
 Alabama
By M. HARvIE

We are hearing a great deal about ''preparedness' just now. In fact, we have been hearing great deal about it for some IS months. We have heard so much about it that we are getting used to it. But as yet we have not done anything; we seem to be taking it all out in talk. Congress is talking, the au- thorities are talking. military experts are talking, but so far it is hard to find anybody who is doing anything else. There is no lack of plans. Every body has some pet scheme by which this country is to be rendered in- vincibIe in the easiest and cheapes. way. We have national security leagues, navy leagues, patriotic so- cieties, and bills in Congress without number, but no one can show where they have added one trained soldier or sailor to our forces. Congressman Gardner has shown how our efforts so far have built up magnificent reserve force of seven or eight men, for he entertained that army at dinner some months ago.
 The trouble seems to be that we have not yet become what General Leonard Wood terms mentally prepared7 We are unconsciously expecting the other Fellow to do the preparing. We forget that it is ourselves who must do the fighting, if any fighting is to be done, and that the other fellow need not be counted on. Also we have not yet de- cided just how we want to be prepared.
 The administration until very re- gently advocated the formation of great continental army" which was to be made up of men who would agree to spend two months out of each year in training. It was proposed to recruit this force at the rate of 133,000 men each year until the total reached some half million. Undoubtedly the plan is an excellent one and does credit to its originators It would provide a magnificent volunteer force ready trained and disciplined, It would pro- vide everything needed if only the re- cruits could be obtained. But the get ting of the recruits would be most diff ficult if not impossible Anyone who has ever had to do with the National Guard can vouch for that.
