Problem, Of the MlEtia

TT seems to be a widespread opinion among
! both regular and national guard officers on the
border that the experiences Of the miliianien
along the Rio Grande since the Presidents call
for the guard will prove the deathbiow to any ef-
tort to Organize the national guard under the terms
Of the National Defense Act. = -. ..1..~
When the State troops are relieved from border
duty they will return to the status OF state troops
and such militia organizations as we're not includ-
ed in the call will be obliged to administer the
double oath of allegiance or they. win not be
ognzed by the, war department, Under the terms
of the act, GRhl june T. the strength OF alf militia
organizations may be held as they were organized
under the Dick Bill, namely. sixty-hve men for
infantry company, seventy for a cavalry troop,
PJie hundred and twenty-six for field art cry
battery. sixty-hve for coast artillery company
and sixty-6Ve for company Of engineers: After
June /. 1917. the normal peace strength of mill
tia infantry company must correspond to that OF
irregular infantry company one hundred enlisted
men, for cavalry, seventy and for engineers, one
hundred and nine. s"'
Under the law, any organization which does not
have this strength cannot receive pay and allow
ances from the federal government. NOR will It be
r. ngnized by the war department. a.
In addition to this, each State must have at least
two hundred enlisted men for each senator or rep
Preventative within one year from June 3, last.
Not only this, but the strength Of the national
guard must be raised in four increments, until by
- v l. 1920 each state must maintain at least six
hundred men for each Of its congressional repre-
sentatives. f~ - "a ,%.e ID +.
1t is evident that the national guard is facing a
serious recruiting problem, which. from all appear
ances, it will be unable to accomplish. Even I'M
der the old law comparatively few States were
able to keep their organizations up to the required
strength. The new lawis even more exacting and
it is serious question if even with the induce
rents of pay and allowances the required strength
can be attained. ',ssl ~. 81.
Hawaii is happily an exception in this problem.
for six hundred enlisted men is the MAXIMUM NUM-
Der of miIitamen required of the Territory under
the national defense law and several times that
number are now enrolled and her present organ-
zation is. likely to be fixture. ~,
The idea of universal service for youths OF the
country for short term in the regular army or
some other federal force is finding its heartiest
supporters in the militia regiments now on the
border.

EXPORTS I0AllES

SHOW BIG INCREASE
Shipments Amount TO More Than
Two Billion DoHars--Those To

.
I Exports to the Allies for the eight
months ended In August amounted to
more than s2,e52,74s,oOO, or more than
the total export trade Of the country
for the entire fiscal year 1914. This
sum compares with $l,5GS, ISL 900 FOR
the eight months ended with August,
1915. d..
: That shipments to the allied nations
show no disposition TO fall of. but, In
feet, are increasing, is Indicated in the
"&l rrt figures for the month Of August,
reaching $780,, $4,000 as compared with
Sl9t, 20S,O00 in August Of the proceed
ing year, or a gain Of more than one
hundred per cent for the month. att
Comparative figures are given on en-.
.r'rts TO the Allies, including France,

the United Kingdom, Canada, Aus.

the eight months ending in August,
'HI5. "xrorts to Germany amounted to
$l1 ,BSS. 900 as compared with $l,l86,O0O
IN the same period of this year.
The figures below indicate that while
the British restrictions Of trade with
the European neutrals was strict
enough during the last year to reduce
exports from the United States from
1921 ,046,000 in the eight months ended
in August, 1915, to $177,969, 600 for the
snme period in 1916, shipments for the
month Of August record an increase.
The advance was from $18,960, 900 to
S2T ,363,000. The most important
change in this respect has taken place
in shipments TO the Netherlands. The
figures for eight months show a loss
from $l0s,704,000 to $72.7S4 900, but
the reports for August alone give an
increase from $6,746,oO0 to $1l 1924, 900.
A similar reversal of conditions Is
shown in exports to Denmark and TO q
less extent to Sweden. 81, !"
Exports to the United Kingdom FOR

100000 to 1,207, ISL 900, while for Au-

been heavy purchaser in the United

amounting from $332, 97s, 900 to- $544,-

Later reports have resulted. in sew.
sral corrections and additions to the
list Of August losses as published
month ago, and these have been ineor-
Dorated in the above statistics. The
Russian steamer "Sten H." of 227
gross tons, which was included In the
fables for August, has since arrived in
'ort safely, proving reports of her loss
incorrect. The Italian steamer Erik, I"
" 923 gross tons, was mistakenly re.
,orted as the Eux. tonnage not re.
:orded, and was SO listed a month ago.
Additions TO the August list are the
swedish steamer ''Baltia,'' of $40
ross tons sunk by mine; and the
Italian sailing vessels Balmoral, " Of
s542 tons; -" Eurasia, Of 1874 tons;
Louis b." Of 2l2 tons; "Elios. - Of

Mexico and November

WATcHFUL Waiting appears to be getting
Wv graggy south of the Rio Grande, if one
half the reports that trickle north correct.
eCarranza, the whom Wilson recognized, az
ter he had slapped our Presidents face, appears
to be looking for safe place into which to duck
with Villa, the man after whom Wilson sent Per
ishing, to get dead alive, is daily growing in
strength and importance.
Unless all signs fail Mexico is in for another
round of revolution murder, rape and pillage
Felix Diaz, nephew of the old DICTATOR is coming
after Carranza from the south. Villa will soon
be fighting along the border again, and between
THE two Carranza will probably have to follow
the route taken by Diaz and Huerta and the two
or three others who attempted to be head chiefs.
Then will come the repetition of history and
Felix Diaz and Villa will fight it out for the mas
terry, with other minor chieftains taking toll all
over the Republic. The special commissioners
with whom the Wilson commissioners have been
nionkeying away their time at Atlantic City will
be left high and dry, without any country to re-
turn to-
Il All this should have considerable effect
upon the voting next month. Wilson's policy of
hesitation, bluff and platitudes concerning Mexico
with his too proud fight" ideas alternating with
his threats and his abortive punitive expeditions
shaye not helped suffering Mexico one iota and
sthey have cost America many lives millions OF
dollars and her self respect. Americans who
fought to free Cuba from anarchy less terrible
than that in Mexico will not sit down in idle chat
ter over Mexico They will not vote to permit
the Mexican horror to be further mishandled for
four years by Wilson.
N Todays developments in Mexico ought to cost
the President million votes, unless American
manhood is not today what it was when the Maine
went down
