Guovernor Harris said he was all the

He charged practically, though with

Governor Harris said he understood

Im answer to the first, Governor
Harris presented himself in good

FEOERALIZATION OF
NATIONAL GUARD 13
atEN BY GEN. NASH
ADJUTANT GENERAL MUCH
INTERESTED IN NEW BILL
SUBMITTED TO CONGRESS.
BY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
OF NATIONAL GUARD.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 15.
Adjutant General J. Van Holt Nash
one of the foremost advocates of
military preparedness in Georgia was
much interested Monday in a state
ment of the action of the executive
committee of the National Guard As
sociation of the United States in pre
senting to the United States Senate
Military Committee, of which Senator
Chamberlain is chairman, a compre
hensive bill providing for the federali
ation of the National Guard through
out the country.
The measure offered deals in de
tail, with the four functions of Fed
eral control recognized under the
Constitution, viz: organization, arma
ment, discipline (including training)
and government. It further arranges
for the training of school boys in a
“Junior Guard” and for the establish
ment of rifle ranges and the supply
ing of arms and ammunition to citi
zens.
The plan is believed by Generals
Nash to provide the means for over
coming all of the objections which‘
have been urged at the War Depart
ment against the present militia sys
tem, and includes a uniform method
for the selection and appointment of
commissioned officers; a standard of
physical and professional qualifica
tions for them, and a method for elim
inating the unfit; it fixes the tenure
of commissioned officers an dterm of
enlistment; makes provision for a re
serve system; specifies the quota of
troops to be furnished by each State
within a given number of years and
gives the President the right to draft
and organize militia in any fState
which may fail to raise a volunteer
force, if he deems it proper to do so;
it establishes a uniform system of
court-martial for the National Guard,
and makes that force suoject to the
articles of war; it denies to any State
the right to maintain troops other
than as organized under the proposed
act, or to disbandw any unit of militia
which has been armed and equipped
and enjoyed the benefits of Federal
support, except with the consent of
the President.
The bill provides for the abolish
‘ment of the National Militia Board,
and would create a militia section of
the general staff, to be appointed by
the President by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate, to be com
posed of National Guard officers,
whose duty it shall be to recommend
to the Secretary of War policies for
the improvement and development of
the National Guard. More extended
periods of field training and more
than double the requirements of ex.
isting law as to indoor or armory in
struction is called for.

U. 8. NOT DISCARDING |
USE OF GEORGIA STONE'}
|
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15—That'
Georgia marble and granite for use
in Government buildings will not be
discarded was the announcement
made by Congressman Howard, of
Georgia, after a long conference with
Acting Supervising Achitect Wetmore
in regard to the new order issued by
the Treasury Department that brick
will be used in facing and ornamental
trimmings in public buildings in future
instead of limestone and sandstone. |
Mr. Howard was told that, while
the order might impliedly be con
strued to exclude them, it was in
tended to apply only to an inferior
grade of marble materials, and that
the Georgia product had never been
found to be in that cla¥s.
