"Tho wnr must end in a draw;
why not mako poaco at onco ami

"Ho would toll tho guoflts of tho

"In tho first placo w0 do not think

"Thirdly, because peace made now

"Lastly, bocauso wo aro fighting

1I08TON, July r.. Interpretation
of some of the uncertain provisions

gram from Major General Albert L.
Mills, received today by Adjutnut
General Charles II. Cole.
"All officers and men of the or
ganised miltlla called forth, Irres
pective nt whether they take the new
oath, must, under the law, present
themselves for muster," the moasago
stated, adding that the governor may
not discharge them.
"Unlisted men of the national
guard, not having parents' eonsont,
are not to be mustered Into service,
and after rejection should be dis
charged by the governor," the tele
gram 'said. "Organized militiamen
called forth, may be mustered Into
service as organised militia without
taking the new federal oath. Gov
ernors may not sccept resignation of
officers, who have been called forth
until after they have presented
themselves for and have been passed
militia or national guard called forth
may be filled by the governor under
state laws, subject to qualification as
to future examination as prescribed
by the national dcft-iiite act."
