General
The family OF Gen. Mills was wei,
known on Washington Heights in the
old days. II was there that no was
| porn May Z, 1854, and aftcrward went
TO public school. The future soldier
entered West Point in 1874. was grad
uated in 1879 and became a second
lieutenant OF cavalry.
Long before tho Spanish troubls
Gen. Nils had seen much OF war. Hs
had a hand in putting down most OF
the indian uprisings that took place
during tho seventies and eighties At
later period he helped to inculcate
army training into the rising genera
ton' being attached to the faculty OF
several institutions as military in
structor, Not until the Spanish
American War did his real chance
come. Then he showed the stuff OF
which American soldiers are made.
During his period Of service at West
Point Gen. Mills placed the school on
new plane OF efficiency such as even
West Point had never known. II was
his EFFORTS more than those OF almost
any other man that helped to develop
the courses taught there 20 a point un-
excelled by any similar institution.
SO valuable was the work OF Cen.
solve the problem OF militia organiza-
ton in this country. From that tims
forward the General became ona of
the severest critics OF the militia plan.
But his was no carping criticism. On
several occasions he urged lrpon Con-
Rress constructive programmes that
meant much 10 the country He was a
strong advocate OF Federalized
militia, instead OF the State system.
As Chief OF tho Division of Militia
Affairs in the War Department Gem
Mills worked out plans for mobilizing
the National Guard upon the Mexican
border. And II was due in great
measure 70 his ceaseless effort thst
the Guard was In such good condition
for the emergency that now con-
fronts us.
Had he lived to SEQ tho gathering ~
forces at Camp Mills none would haye
been so proud as this soLdier Of the
men assembled there from all parts ~

for which Gen. Mills spent many years
in preparation.
