TRAINING ARTILLERY

Additional training for numerous guard artillery units soon will be in progress also at the various officers training camps. At least battalion of field ar tillery has been ordered to each camp in order that the artillery officer candidates for the national army may have the means of learning the things they must later teach to the new forces. In the process valuable training will be given to the guard battalions
 The greatest problem that faces the war department is to find supplies for the steadily increasing host of nation al guardsmen which moves to its mo- bilization camps sometime in July or Aupust

sIrppLIEs INADEQUATE

State officials have been notified that it is impossible to fill requisi- tions for new equipment that have been pouring in. The, first force to be made ready must be the regular army, expanded to 300.000. The officers training camps where 5o,00O men are under arms, also have absorbed an enormous quantity of reserve equip ment
 careful inspection of all equip ment in the hands of the National Guard Is being made to ascertain the necessities of the force when It Is federalized. Fortunately, much of the impediments necessary was supplied during the border mobilization and will serve until more can be procured.
 WAGON TRAINS NOW
 Guard regiments now have wagon trains. a thing they never possessed before the border trouble. These will be employed at the divisional camps, supplemented with motor transport where necessary. When the regiments go to France, however, the govern ment will be able to supply them with full motor transport as it has already sought bids for more than 70000 mo- tor trucks.
 The government, it was learned to- day. already is taking steps to look after the comfort of the troops in France fin addition to its regular mil itary preparations. The state depart ment has asked that the French duty on tobacco be remitted for supplies sent to the American forces there Great Britain secured a similar agree ment at the outbreak of the war al the high French duties, if imposed oi soldiers luxuries, would have been al most prohibitive.

The boys said the officers were sick
of salt junk, and meant to have tur-

after several days the Warren came to
the same rendezvous; they exchanged
signals; she sent to Phillips and these
homeward-bound men letters and pa
pers, and told them she was outward
bound, perhaps to the Mediterranean,
and took poor Nolan and his traps on
the boat back to try his second cruise!
He looked very blank when he was told
to get ready to join her. He had

him "United States" was scarcely a
reality. Yet he had been fed by "Unit-
ed States" for all the years since he
had been in the army. He had sworn
on his faith as a Christian to be true to
Omitted States.' 1t was Omitted
States which gave him the uniform he
wore, and the sword by his side. Nay,
my poor Nolan, it was only because
Omitted States" had picked you out
first as one of her own confidential
men Of honor, that "a. Burr" cared
for you a straw more than for the flat
boat men who sailed his ark for him.
I do not excuse Nolan; 1 only explain
to the reader why he damned his coun-
try, and wished he might never hear
her name again.
He never did hear her name but once
again. From that moment, Septem-
Der %, 1907, till the day he died, May
II, 1868, he never heard her name
again. For that half century and

an attorney seeking a place for his
Office, but as a disguised c%onqueror.
He had defeated l know not how many
district attorneys; he had dined at l
know not how many public dinners; he
had been heralded in l know not how
many Weekly Arguses; and it was ru-
mored that he had an army behind him
and an empire before him. 1t was u
great day-his arrival-to poor Nolan.
Burr had not been at the fort an hour
before he sent for him. That evening
he asked Nolan to take him out in his
skiff, to show him a cane-brake or a
cottonwood tree, as he said, really to
seduce him and by the time the sail
was over, Nolan was enlisted body and
soul. From that time, though he did
not yet know it, he lived as "a Man
without a Country"
What Burr meant to do I know no
more than you, dear reader. 1t is none
of our business just now. Only, when
the grand catastrophe came, and JEFF
ferSon and the House of Virginia of
that day undertook to break on the
wheel all the possible C%larences of the
then House of York, by the great
treason trial at Richmond, some of the
lesser fry in that distant Mississippi
valley, which was farther from us than
Puget Sound is today, introduced the
like novelty on their provincial stage,
and, to while away the monotony of
the summer at Fort Adams, got up, for
spectacleS, a string of court-martials-
on the officers there. One and anoth-'
tried, and, to fill out the list, little No
Ian, against whom, heaven knows,
there was evidence enough, that he
was sick of the service, had been will
ing to be false to it, and would have
obeyed any order to march anywhitherI
with anyone who would follow him,
had the order only been signed, "By,
command of His Exc. A. Burr" The
courts dragged on. The big flies es-
capped, rightly for all l know. Nolan
was proved guilty enough, as I say;
yet you and I would never have heard
of him, reader, but that, when the
president of the court asked him at the
close, whether he wished to say any
thing to show that he had always been
faithful to the United States, he cried
out, in a fit of frenzy:
oh the United Statesi I wish
I may never hear Of the United States
againl"
l suppose he did not know how the
words shocked old Colonel Morgan,
who was holding the court. Half the.
officers who sat in it had served
through the Revolution, and their
lives, not to say their necks, had been
risked for the very idea which he so
cavalierly cursed in his madness. He,
on his part, had grown up in the West
of those days, in the midst of Spanish
plot" "Orleans plot" and all the rest.
His education, such as it was, had
been perfected in commercial eXpedi-
lions to Vera Cruz, and | think he told
me his father once hired an English
man to be a private tutor for a winter
on the plantation. He had spent half
his youth with an older brother, hunt
ing horses in Texas; and, in a word, to

"KespectfuIIy yours,
"W. SOUTHARD.

If [ had only preserved the whole
of this paper, there would be no break
in the beginning of my sketch of this
story. For Captain Shaw, if it was he,
handed it to his successor in the
charge, and he to his.
The rule adopted on board the ships
on which l have met "The Man without
a Country" was, I think, transmitted
from the beginning. No mess liked to
have him permanently, because his
presence cut off all talk of home or of
the prospect of return, of politics or
letters, of peace or of war-cut off
more than half the talk men like to
have at sea. But it was always
thought too hard that he should never
meet the rest of us, except to touch
hats, and we finally sank into one sys-
tenn. He was not permitted to talk
with the men unless an officer was by.
With officers he had unrestrained in
%tercourse, as far as they and he chose.
But he grew shy, though he had favor
ties: l was one. Then the captain
always asked him to dinner on Mon
day. Every mess in succession took
up the invitation In it's turn. Accord
ing to the size of the ship, you had him
