MOW MILJTIA M'IIYEj MOBILIZE War Department Tells What Must Be Done in War. WASHINGTON. Jan. 9,-Detalls of vital Importance to the militia of the country are contained. In " order I"so. 9. issued from the War Department today, govern- Ing ttie mobilization or that arm ot the National defense in case of war. 9orae of the provisions follow: A sufficient reserve force to meet any emergency must always be left within a state or territory when Its militia Is called Into the service of the Nation. The President alone let the exclusive judge of the existence of an emergency Justifying the call of militia. The minimum strength of the militia organization which states must inaln- ta In. if they expect to receive allotments from the congressional appropriation for tii maintenance ol militia, is placed at "t for a company of infantry, troop of cava Iry. company of engineers n ml sisrna corps. A coast artillery company must nave a minimum or 63 ana a battery field artillery of 133. Organizations below these numliers must be Immediately recruited to the standard before they can leave the home station In case of call. In addition to equipping- their men, the state officials must purchase cooked meals for the militiamen where they cannot, use rations in Kind, and for this . purpose an allowance of 60 cents per flay is authorized for each man, which la increased to 7a cents when traveling. States that already have the United States standard of physical examination Tor troops shall nave these mustered in- to amice at once, and without Interfer- ene. with the supreme duty of th militia.

THREE BILLS DOOMED TO DIE President's Enemies Will Throttle Important Measures He Proposes. CHICAGO. Jan. 9.-A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington says: It is now said at the Capitol three Important bills, each representing a distinct Admin- Istration policy, are practically dead lor thi season of Congress. It 1b hinted in each case that behind the killing of the bills there Is to be traced; a personal an tagonism of President Roosevelt, and desire to belittle or Injure his admlnistra- tlon. This Is only Indirectly true. The mibsldy liill. immigration bill and the Philippine tariff bill are all moribund. chiefly If not entirely because each ot thorn contain certain provisions of a rad- lea I character which have aroused the cnemlty of powerful Interests In various parts of the country. It is too early to pay tliat each of these Important meas ures, stamped with the approval of the F'resldent In his messase to Congress, has been delivered to elauRhter, Tor any or all of them may be resuscitated at the last moment, by the use of the necessary ft mount of legislative oxygen. The chances are. however, that no one of the three will pass, at least, in its original form. The Intrinsic principle of aeh Is so ob jectionable to many members either In the house or Senate that only- the mere framework of the three bills can be passed at this eeaslon. WHISKY CAUSES DESERTIONS Kahn Argues for Canteen to Keep Soldiers Sober. WASHINGTON, Jan, .-During ,Uie llousft discussion of the army appropria tion bill today. Representative Kahn of California declared the absence of the canteen was responsible for the unusual number ot desertions during the past year. "Under the present system. said Mr. Kahn, "the men of the Unc frequent- low groceries and dives and when the time cornea for them to return to their posts. they are unable to do so. They are un der the Influence of the vile liquor sold In these booze joints and are Incapable of' performing the duties of a, soldier and so they desert as the easiest way out of their dilemma. "I f the canteen was restored there would not be so many desertions, Most every army officer who has appeared be fore the military committee jri ves the abolition of the canteen- as a reason for the diminution of the army. There can be no doubt about it." Militia Ready for Active Duty. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-That the new regulations for (the mobilization of the National Guard. Just perfected by Assist ant Secretary of War Oliver, will result in making- impossible any repetition of the difficulties of reorganization of the militia forces in the face of war, as ex perienced in the early days of 1898. Is ex pected by the War Department. These regulations provide for the min imum strength of the organization of the militia in time of peace and equipment by the state authorities, so that this force will be instantly available in time of need. In the first place, it is expected that the state authorities will take advantage of the sreneroue appropriations made "by the National Government annually for the support of the National Guard to keep all their organizations at a certain fixed minimum strength. These men are to be completely equipped and drilled and. In addition, the state must provide ample equipment, arms, clothing, quartermas ter stores, tenting, everything necessary for the militiamen who may be called Into the service under the terms of the law. The experience of the 9panish War re cruitment demonstrate that it waa an Impossible task for the National Govern ment to equip recruits In twos and threes In little country hamlets and feed and convey them to central recruiting depots.

BRITAIN -A - O RUSSIA COXTROD Shall Has Their Support Country Is 3ortcraarecl to Foreigners. LONDON. Jan. 9.-U was declared in official quarters tonight that the understanding- between Ruwila and Great Brlt lan relative to the existing status In Per sia Includes an agreement to the effect that Mohammed Ali Mirza. who now suc ceeds to the throne. Is well suited to his office and will have the support of Rus sia and Great Britain, the two powers most directly interested in Persia. Cecil Spring Rice, the British Minister to Persia, has kept the Foreign Office fully informed as to 'the progress of events In Teheran, and in one of his latest dispatches he assured Sir FMward Grey, the Foreign. Secretary, that the possibility of any serious disturbances was most re mote. Officials who have had years of experience in the far East, however, when referring to conditions in Persia, are careful to make the reservation that Per sia ts an Oriental land, and that there ts no telling what may happen there. . In addition to the situation created by International rivalries. the demoralized financial condition of Persia is considered to constitute the principal possibility of trouble! The country is bankrupt and mortgaged to Russia and Great Britain. while the customs are " hypothecated to Belgium, and Belfrlans are in charge of the collection of the custom imports. Ger man bankers have made strong: efforts to establish & Persian bank for the pur pose of increasing Oerman influence. The present indications are, however, that British and Russian capital will co operate. Persian authorities say the country's productive resources are so depleted that foreign capital exerts almost as muca in. fluence as do foreign governments. Germany for Peaceful Development BERLIN.
