12 SCOTT'S PLAN FOR THE MILITIAMEN Former Legislator Will Push Bill Which Would Remove Some Obstacles Representative John R. K. Scott, of Philadelphia, has introduced in the House a Joint resolution providing for an amendment to the United States Constitution giving Congress jurisdic tion over the militia in time of peace. The proposed amendment provides that Congress shall have power to call the militia into the service of the Federal Government for the purpose of training and drill. It also provides that when the militia is called its training and the appointment of its officers shall be vested in the Federal authorities. His resolution will be opposed by the States. Air. Scott said to-day: "This amendment, if adopted, will enable Congress to turn our National Guard into an effective force. The adoption of any of the defense plans which have been proposed, whether it be the continental army plan or the larger standing army plan, will not lessen the advantages to be derived from the adoption of this amendment. "In my opinion, the militia is inef fective for the following reasons: "First. 11 has npt been properly trained or drilled. "Second. Whatever training it has had has been under different authori ties and along 48 different lines. "Third. No unity of responsibility authority or control exists. "Fourth. Tlie militia is not paid, and it is, therefore, impossible to keep the various corps of the militia up to the proper enlisted strength. "Fifth. The higher officers of the larger units of the militia have had Jio experience in drilling or maneuver ing large bodies of troops. "Sixth. In many of the States the officers are chosen by the enlisted men. and in order to hold their posi tions must stand in the good graces of the men under them. As a conse quence. the officers hesitate to enforce stringent discipline. "Seventh. The disinclination of the States to make sufficient financial pro vision for the maintenance and train ins Of the militia. "By the adoption of the amendment • 'ongress would tie enabled to remedy all of the defects." Episcopalians Open Attack on the Catholic Party New York. Feb. 1. —A nation-jvide movement has been inaugurated among the clergy and laity of the Protestant Episcopal Church to offset the "at tacks of innovators." in other words, the Catholic party and certain "high churchmen." whose object, they de clare. is "the introduction of a kind of Catholicism foreign to its genius, its institutions and its laws, into the Prot estant Kpiscopal Church." A conference of certain leaders of , tile church was held last Wednesday in the parish house, of St. Thomas' Episcopal Church, New York, at which arrangements were made for a perma nent organization to uphold and ex tend within the Protestant Episcopal Church the "principles of New Testa ment Christianity." Another meeting will be )i<«WYork soon, wheor it is ovpectfa tne movement will re ceive greater impetus. THE PANAMA SLIDES ' Tlie battle with the slides is the great problem of the Panama Canal operation, the one # point of conflict where the riven mountain range still strives to close its wound. Cracking at the top of Culebra mountain, great slides of mixed- earth and rock come slipping and crawling down the moun tainside and into the water, thrusting ii great toe of mud across the bottom, blocking the channel for all but the smallest ships. The material is dug out by ladder and dipper dredges, sucked out by suction dredges, carried miles away and dropped into Gatun Lake. Then another mountainside gives way, rolling and tumbling downward into the big ditch, and the work begins all over again. Fighting the slides at Culebra Cut Is the most discouraging, the most Iremendous and the most incessant engineering task in the world. It costs Uncle Sam $12,000 a day to keep a thirty-foot channel open through Hie slides. For twenty-two hours a day the snorting, laboring dredges crowd Into the cut, digging out thou sands of cubic feet of mud and broken rock. Then for two hours, if it is possible, the cut is flung open and the commerce of the world sails through in an impressive procession. As soon as the last vessel has passed the last of the skies, the dredges are rushed back into place and the race with the restless, encroaching mountain begins all over again. Only one thing can be said in favor of slides—they have never all been fully active at once. When Cuearacha went to sleep the two Culebra slides suddenly came to life and cascaded tons ot material into the canal from either side. Cuearacha has lain still now for many months, but both of the Culebra slides are still active. As one sails past them, he looks up over a great, red gash and sees far above him the jungle ripped open where a new mass of material 'has broken away and hangs ready to de scend into the water, while far above that, tiny as match boxes, are the de serted houses of construction davs, awaiting the moment when they will be swept to destruction on the face of the crumbling mountain. Scattered over this great gash in the earth on points and pinnacles, are little groups of -men, bending over machines that fling a flume of stream to Ihe breeze. These are the drilling corps, for every big rock that goes down the slides must be drilled and blasted Into little pieces before it reaches the canal, or the dredges can not handle it. Nothing gives a more striking impression of the immensity of this task than the sight of one of these drilling crews, tiny as flies, peg ging laboriously away at the rock in the long, long fight between man and the mountain. If you would like to know all the 1 facts about, the building and opera tion of 'the great Isthmian waterway, as well as the story in detail of the working side of the entire federal; government, you should read the two. great patriotic books, "The Panama, «'anal" and "The American Govern-i ment,' both by Frederic J. Haskin. Read the offer of the Telegraph to' its readers in the big advertisement printed elsewhere in to-day's issue. BREWERY LICENSE GRANTED Indiana. Pa., Feb.
