MILITIA MOBILIZATION
F" CRITICIZED BY MILLS
Army Officer Reports Only so
Per Cent Responded.

WASHINGTON = The report of
the late Brigadier General Albert l..
Mills, chief. of the division of militia
affairs in the war department, on tbs
mobilization of the national guard is
a severe Indictment of that institution
1t was learned that General Mills
completed his report before his death
and that among his recommendations
was universal military service. 1t is
not expected that the report will be
made public until Secretary of War
Baker submits his annual report to
congress. 1t has not been decided, it
was said, who will sign General Mills
report, as no successor to him has yet
been appointed.
General Mills report states, it was
said. that only thirty per cent of the
original members of the guard remain
ed in it for service when the mobiliza.
ton was ordered. Seventy per cent of
the militia in camps and on the bor-
der, his report says, had no previous
military training.

Forget Your Aches.

Stiff knees, aching limbs, lame back
make life burden. If you suffer from
rheumatism, govt, lumbago. neuralgia,
get a bottle of Sloan's Liniment, the
universal remedy for pain, Easy to
apply; it penetrates without rubbing,
and soothes the tender flesh. Cleaner
and more effective than mussy ONT

sprains, sore muscles or wrenched liga-

lief. Keep it on hand for emergencies.
