the United States army along the
Mexican frontier there were
many who cried militarism."
Perhaps they did not know that
under an unobtrusive enactment
of congress every ablcbodied citi
zen between eighteen and forty-
five years of age is enrolled as a
soldier of the United States, un
der compulsion to serve if called
upon in time of war.
By the new system, copied
partly from Prussia and partly
from Great Britain, there are
now approximately 16,000,000
men liable for field duty under
control of the war department
These are divided by law into
three "lines" The first line
comprises about 78,000 regular
soldiers, who may be increased
by enlistment to 100.000. The
second is the national guard.

year, 1908 and 1C03 as the or
ganized militia and now number
ing 121,580, with no limit on . its
increase. The third, created by
act of congress, is the reserve
militia, including every citizen
capable of bearing arms and es
timated at 15A0O.QQO men. Most
of these probably are unaware
that they are ofiicially troops in a
legally constituted division of the
United States army.
This vast body of reserve mil
itiamen is not regarded bv the
war department as part of the
militia of the states, but as
federal citizen soldiery." a
supplement of the regular army.
his view is taken to escape the
provisions of the constitution
which vest in the states a large
control over their organized na
tional guard.
A LARGE BRIDGE TO EE BUILT

single span uplift bridges ever to

by the Southern Pacific Company
in San Pedro harbor, California.
The length of the bridge is 187

will carry a double track and will
be operated by electric power,
capable of lifting the ponderous
mass of steel in fifty seconds.

The new bridge is what is
known as the Strauss trunnion
type, differing from the Bascule
bridge of the Salt Lake Railroad,
also at San Pedro, in . that the
latter is lifted on a rocker, while
the Southern Pacific bridc-e will
be lifted on a tail pin or hinge.
It is also to be double tracked.
A latch operated by a motor will
hold the bridge in place when it
is down. This new bridge will
replace the present Soiifhom
Pacific and Pacific Electric tresM
bridges.
