10 every male citizen Of military age
in the United States a member of the
militia of his respective state regard
less of his having taken the oath of en-
llstment?
In broad sense the term militia
means the fighting or arms bearing
force of country. An act of congress
passed in 1892 and still in force consti-
tutes all able bodied male citizens be-
tween the ages Of eighteen and forty
five years as the militia, whether or
ganized or not, and subject to be called
on for military service under certain
conditions. The organized militia Is
now known as the national guard, but
the unorganized or reserve militia is
made up Of much more numerous
class.

Kindly state what John Patrick Hol-
land had to do with the invention of
the modern submarine. What type of
submarine does the United States use
now? Where was Holland bornY
When did he die?
His name was John Philip Holland,
not John Patrick Although he was
not the earliest inventor in the field of
submarine navigation Holland did I'M
portant work In developing and apply
ing the idea He was born in County
Glare, Ireland, in 1914, was educated
at Limerick and taught school fifteen
wears. including few years after he
came to the United States and settled
at Paterson, N. J. AS a means Of Grip
ping England's sea power he began to
make a study of submarine torpedo
boat construction and pursued the sub
iect several years. In 1898 he received
n contract from the United States gov
ernmente for submarine boat, but
through somebody's acknowledgement 1t
was a failure. Not discouraged, he per-
sonally superintendent the building &C
cording to his own plans OF suDma-
rine called the Holland, which was sue
cessfully tried in 1898 and was then
purchased by the United States. After
that Holland turned his attention to
aerial navigation, but he experienced
financial reverses and died in poverty
Aug. 12. 1914. Several submarine tor
pedo boats of the Holland type are
now In use In the United States navy.
Holland did not think that submarine
boats would ever come into use for
transatlantic travel but he thought
thew would for short trips, as, for ex-
ample. crossing the English channel.
writing in 1903, Holland predicted sub
marine traffic across the channel and
said: "This Is no dream. 1t is simply
the forecast of trip that myself ex-
meet to make some day, and am fifty
nine years Old He did not live to
make the trip, but he saw 1t still nearer
realization.

Did the American colonies, which
fought the Revolutionary war, ever
have to petition for admission to the
Union?
No; they made the Union. The
Declaration of Independence declares
"that these united colonies are, and Of
right ought to be, free and independent
states" By the adoption of that Dec
laration on July 4, 1776, the thirteen
colonies became states, and one of their
early acts, even before the adoption Of
constitution, was the passage Of a
resolution providing that western ter
ritory thereafter to be coded to the
United States shall be settled and
formed into distinct republican states,
which shall become members Of the
federal union" Having declared them
selves independent, the thirteen orig
inal states gave standing invitation
to other states to join the Union.

made some striking remarks about the

On that point he said: II have read
many biographies of Lincoln; / have
sought out with the greatest interest
the many intimate stories that are told
Of him, the narratives of nearby
friends, the sketches at close quarters,
In which those who had the privilege
of being associated with him have
tried to depict for us the very man
himself lin his habit as he lived but
| have nowhere found real intimate
Of Lincoln's; / nowhere get the i'm
preston In any narrative or reminis-
cence that the writer had in fact pene-
trated to the heart of his mystery or
that cry man caslld penetrate to the
heart of 1t. That brooding spirit had
no real familiars. get the impression
that 1t never spoke out in complete
self revelation and 1t could not reveal
itself completely to any one. 1t was
very lonely spirit that looked out
from underneath those shaggy brows
and comprehended men without fully
communicating with them, as if, in
spite of all its genial efforts at COM
radeship, it dwelt apart, saw its vi
sions Of duty where no man looked
on"
