While Advises

The dismissal of Oregon's naval
militia is recommended by Ad1u-
tant General George A. White in
his biennial report filed today with
Governor Olcott.
"I am unable to convince myself
that such a force, maintained as a
state force, is able to serve any use
ful purpose so far as national and
state defense is concerned under
existing laws and the present pol
icy of the naval department. the
adiutant generals recommendation
reads. The present state naval
force. it is explained, is composed
of a mere handful of men in Port
land and is entirely without federal
recognition.
The report shows a surplus ot
$4,000 in the funds of the adjutan'
generals department, all coming
from the appropriation by the state
TO the naval department. The funds
anpropriated for the national guard
organization have been barely sur
ficient to carry the department

nations first line of defense In tn

military policy.
