"The federalization ol the National

bill, would make the National Guard

regular army, except in the more tcsu

gineering, supply ucpartuient, etc., ana

from it, but I protest with all the man

have been 'handed to the National
Guard.
"I want to say that army officers to

pared with maintaining a regular force
of equal strength," was the expression
of Maior Carle Abrams today in
answer to a request for his views oil
what the mi lit ill pay bill means for the
Oregon National Guard.
"During the Spanish war the voluu
i tcer troops were made up of National
guardsmen. They were under a great
I handicap at that time of having the
! officers appointed by political pull, and
' practically no equipment and opportun

and yet the world has never produced
! soldiers who performed better than did
j the . volunteer army in Cuba and the
Philippines.
"1 sailed for the Philippines with
the first expedition, General Merritt in
command, and General Merritt was pre
judiced against the militia. He protest
ed .vigorously against the army given
him because it was composed of 10,000
volunteer militia men and 5,000 reg
ulars; he demanded at least 10,000 reg
ulars for each 3,000 volunteers. After a
few months service in the islands, he
made the statement that if he again
started on such an expedition he would
demand more volunteers and fewer reg
ulars; that the volunteers will go farth
er, stand more hardships and perform
more difficult or seemingly impossible
feats than any regular organization,
composed largely ot men attracted to
the service by the pay. That was the
result of experience.
"Don't misunderstand me I am
throwing no slurs at the army. We

sake of better opportuutiea for promo

stand for a great standing army, an
should not. If our present over enthus
iasm for preparedness lends us to create
a great standing army, the pendulum
will, in a few years, swing the other
way, and we will go back to our present
helpless condition. But the country
will stand for just as large a citizetti
soldiery as congress is willing to create
and back, and this citizen soldiery
should consist not only of National
guardsmen, but every high school, col
lege and university in the land that e

twelve or fifteen million men who havr
been thoroughly trained in the art of
soldiering and who are following pence
ful vocations, but will, if called at any
time, be prepared for instant duty, un
til they reach the age limit. Such an
army would be invincible, and the great
requisite would be maintaining supply
depots for furnishing nrms and equip
ment sufficient to mobilize and equip
this force on snort notice. I enn con
ceive of no more perfect method of
preserving perpetual peace than to
adopt the principle: 'Every man a sol
