GUARDSMEN SEEK
ARMY TRAINING
THIRD. ILLINOIS CAPTAIN TELLS
CONGRESS COMMITTEE. STATE
TROOPS ARE FOR UNIVERSAL
EDUCATION.

Washington, d. C., Jan. 19-(Spe-
eian-Capt James r. Burns OF the
Third Illinois infantry, tcstifyins be.
fore the universal service, subcom-
mittee of the senate military affairs
committee yesterday, declared that
practically ali of the officials and
men in the national guard organi-
cations favor universal military train
ing and service.
The present system, he said, is un-
fair and undemocratic and furnishes
no military protection to the nation.
Capt. Burns, a resident of Kanka-
kee is now stationed at Camp viii
son, San Antonio, Tex and appear
ed before the committee at its re-
quest. He will be in Washington
until Saturday to represent his regi-
ment Al the funeral OF Admiral Dew
ey.
Guard Service BeIittled.
THE men on the border" he testi-
iiel, ARE enthusiastic in their sup
port of universal training. although
they feel that the service rendered
in the present emergency BY the mil
itia Of the various states has been
belittled and their organizations held
up as insufficient b yhigh officers of
the regular army. The fact Is the
militia organization are, in ny opin-
ion as we'll trained and disciplined
as the regular regiments.
The enlisted personnel Of the
guard Is vastly superior in character
and Intelligence to that Of the regu-
lar army. The militia has marched
as we'll and shot as accurately as the
regulars
I'VE have a high opinion OF the
skill and ability Of the regular Off
GERS, and the present efficiency of
the militia organizations is largely
due to their hard work, but we have
found that even the regular officer
has his limitations
Outstrip the Regulars.
The guard furnished 10000 men
to- the country when 1t needed them,
which the regular army could not
get. | took with ne from my home
town Of Kankakee $40 men. The
regular recruiting service could not
get That many men from a town OF
similar size in fifty years.

She flashed him an odd, qulzzical

She uttered a gay little trlll Of
laughter

Hardy.
Few would be so quixotic," she ar
gued. "Most would make the excuse
that an attempt to Illustrate what they
considered wrong to others is not TO
be considered private enterprise"

acceptance of his unconditional and
immediate resignation.
Great had been his CONSERVATION
when, the day of his arrival in Wash

war department. Not only had leave
of absence been denied him and all
action on his resignation been suspend

However, his record on the one hand,
and the indecent haste of the attack
on the other, had brought about suffi.
cient intervention by members of the
general staff to cause several months
delay in the plan of his enemies to
crush him. Action on the charges filed
against him by the Indian commission
ers and by his commanding officer had
been postponed from month to month,
Meantime he had been placed under
the nominal arrest of confinement to

The court-martial began its sessi on
at nine in the morning, and the trial
Of Hardy was over before three in the
afternoon. Vandervyn testified TO he
suppression by the accused of the ex-
istence of the developed mine and Of
Redbear's misconduct
Hardy's statements in explanation
Of his actions were as brief Jas they
were cold and dry. Acting as n civil
officer, he had considered the question
of Withholding any mention Of the
mine as matter within his discretion.
When Intercepted whether he had not
taken advantage of this suppress ion
TO enter the contest and win the mine
for himself, his bald admission OF the
fact unaccompanied by any explana-
ton of his motives, was received by
his officer judges with marked gravity.
The other charges were far more

lifting at MlndmlIIs.

The early winter rains that followed
an ideal Indian summer at the national
capital were chill and sleety. But con-
gress was now in session, and Wash
/ ington was bright and gay with the
| activities of OfIiclaldOm and official So
ciety.
| one of the first events Of the season
had been a ball in honor of the superb
/ French beauty and heiress, Miss Du-
pont. She had arrived with a matrOn-
~ French lady well known in Partisan
society; a tall, ollve-tlnted maid, who
was said to be of Spanish or Hindu
origin; and male relative, Monsieur
Jacques Dupont, who spoke French
with French-Canadian idioms and Eng
llsh with n quaint sprinkling of west
ern Americanlsms. BY those who saw
him before they had the pleasure and
privilege of meeting Miss Dupont, he
was said to be quite impossible" But
after meeting her, they usually agreed
with the general verdict that he was
decidedly amusing and picturesque"
Letters to the wives Of three or four
ambassadors opened to the heiress the
doors of the most exclusive official
society and her wonderful beauty and
charm carried all before her by storm.
Men raved over her eyes; women over
her French gowns. She soon had
suite of devoted admirers and suitors,

to the daughter of his eminent uncle,
Mr.. Reginald Vandervyn was one Of
the most ardent.
All this had come to Hardy through
society reports in the newspapers and
from the chance remarks of acquaint-
lnces. The remarks very seldom were
made by persons fortunate enough to
have attended functions graced by the
presence of Miss Dupont. Hardy's
neatly kept clothes were somewhat out
Of style, and his lodgings, in an old
warren down on NJ street, were cheap
and shabby.
There were still better reasons for
the worldly wise to shun the company
Of the officer so lately distinguished
for his services in the Philippines. 1t
was whispered that the interests for
which he had been diligently lobbying
since midsummer were opposed to the
interests of the pro-administration
group of which the eminent Senator
Clemmer was the leader. More openly
the fact was bruited about that he
was to be subjected to trial by court
martial on grave charges.
For he was still in the service.
Upon his return from the hard-won
race for the mine, he had filed his
claim with the commissioners, and
journeyed on as soon as possible to
the railroad. There he had sold his
mare alta low prlce, Srt with the OPP
ton of buying her back within year.
He had then started east too intent

The aide returned TO the room lead
