MILITIA PERSONNEL
NOT TO Be ALTERED
Officers of National Guard to Be
Retained Wherever Possible.

The framework OF the National
Guard will not be rscast when It is
drafted into Federal service, and it
will merge its identity with that of
the regular army. Efficient officers
will be retained. and the State organ
izations will not be interfered with,
according to the War Department
program that has now been an
nounced.
In practically all cases, President
Wilson will accept the recommended
lions OF governors of the various
States and Territories, regarding the
retention OF Guard officers, and will
send their nominations to the SEN
ate as Federal officers. In cases of
palpable inefficiency, the officers in
question will be given every opportun-
lty to resign. II they refuse to take
the hint, they will be dropped. Either
the President will ignore the recon-
mendations of the governors in these
cases, or some other method will be
found for getting rid OF them. Mosi
of them are political appointees.
When the National Guard vert to
the border 1t was to a certain eX-
tent under the tutelage and supervi-
sion Of the regular army. Now the
Guard has been rejuvenated and placed
squarely on its feet as the result of
the seasoning on the alkaH plains of
Texas and Arizona. The National
Guard regiments will simply become
additional units OF the regular army;
there will be change in the offering.
The plans for the so-called draft
army, or national army, are entirely
different. All Of the higher commands
will be filled by officers from the reSu-
lar army. These officers temporarily,
or for the period of the war, will DC
given higher rank. Majors will become
colonies, colonies will be brigadier
generals and so on. They will have
control of the new levies which the
nation is calling into being.
The lower commands, such as the
first and second lieutenantships. will
be filled from the Officers Reserve
Corps. To a small extent the Officers
Reserve Corps is also filling vacancies
In the National Guard. and in the ex-
pansion of the regular army 1t IL In
evitable that the same body will DE
called upon to rll the lower COM
mands.
