Defense Act Gives President
Power to Draft Men Into
Militia During Peace
Washington, Sept. 29. ln a recent
Issue the Suffragist. official organ of
the Congression Union for Woman
Suffrage and the New Woman's Party,
calls attention to a provision of the
recent National Defense act, which, it
contends, gives the President authority,
without an actual declaration of war,
to draft all able-bodied male citizens
into serlce to execute the laws of the
Union, suppress insurrection ana repei
invasion.
Inquiry at the War Department re
sulted in confirmation of the view ex
pressed by the Suffragist. It was said
there that the provision of the act to
which attention is called in the Suf
fragist was to be interpreted in the
literal way in which it is construed by
that publication. The provision of the
act reads as follows:
Provision* of Act
"If for any reason there shall not be
enough volunteer enlistments to keep
the reserve battalions (of organized
militia )at the prescribed strength, a
sufficient number of the unorganized
militia shall be called into the service
of the IJnlted States to maintain each of
such battalions at the proper strength.-.
Under the Dick Militia law of 1905
the unorganized militia is defined ns
composed of all able-bodied persons be
tween the ages of 18 and 45 years. That
law provided that such persons coula
be called into the service for the pur
poses set forth in the Federal Constitu
tion "to execute the laws of the Union,
suppress insurrection and repel inva
sions." Under the provision of the new
National Defense law, as It la lntet-

preted at the War Department, tnb
ranks of the present National Guard
organizations called into the Federal
Service by President Wilson in connec
tion with the Mexican trouble, may be
recruited by drafting any able-bodied
male citizens more than 18 and less
than 40 years old, in order to recruli
National Guard units to their required
strength.
The Administration has not resorted
to this authority to fill the ranks of
militia regiments that are still held in
State mobilization camps because they
have not been recruited to the minimum
strength required by the War Depart
ment. Since the Mexican situation be
came less acute, National Guard re
cruiting has fallen off in a i. uked
degree. But should the danger of Hos
tilities with Mexico again become
acute the President would have the
right to fill up the ranks of militia or
ganizations by drafting.
Calls It n Joker
The Suffragist in its issue calls the
provision of the National Defense act
a "Joker" and points to it as introduo-
Ing "a startling chango into our mili
tary regulations." It acknowledges
that throughout American history
Congress has empowered the President
to draft citizens into the army aftei
war had been declared, but contends
that the enactment in the National De
fense act is a new departure "in time of
profound peace." The Suffragist takes
the ground that the action of Congress
was improper because no opportunity
was given to the women of the country
to express themselves in the matter
and that it reveals to them "their
pitiable political helplessness."
There has never been any doubt of
the right of the President to draft the
militia for the purposes set forth in
the.constitution, but it was regarded as
necessary at the time of the Mexican
crisis last June to enact a special Joint
resolution in which Congress expressed
the "opinion" that "an emergency now
exists which demands the use of troops
in addition to the regular army of the
United States" and the President was
authorized by the resolution to draft
into the Federal service "any and ail
members of the National Guard and of
the organized militia of the several
States, Terrtiories and the District of
Columbia and any and all members of
the National Guard and organized mlli-
tla reserves to serve for the period of
the emergency, not exceeding three
years, unless sooner discharged."
The provisions of this enactment
have never been taken advantage of by
the Government. It is held at the War
Department that a specific order or
other act of the President is necessary
to draft the National Guard and organ
ized militia into the Federal servicw
and that this course will not be adopted
by the President unless it becomes nec
essary to send the guard organizations
into Mexico, the resolution having been
construed as giving the President au
thority to employ the State organiza
tions outside the territorial boundaries
of the Union. The National Guard or
ganizations now on the border or held
under Government orders in State mob
ilization camps were mustered into ser
vice under the authority contained in
the Constitution. It Is believed hero
that there is.no likelihood that even if
the Mexican situation should assume a
phase that yould require more troops
the Administration would resort to th
Defense act. The Government still fav
ors the principle of voluntary enlist
ment.

The averago number of children per

UARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
GUNNERY GOOD,
NAVY TESTS SHOW
Atlantic Fleet Making Remark
able Record, Especially
With Heavy Rifles
Washington, D. C., Sept. 29.—Pri
vate advices from commissioned of
ficers In the Atlantic fleet show-that
much of the criticism that has been
directed at the United States Navy
because of its failure in the past to hit
targets with shells from big guns will
be eliminated by the results of the
battle practice now coming to a close.
It is learned that exceptionally good
results have been obtained by shooting
at such small targets as obsolete tor
pedoboats at comparatively long
ranges, and during the recent maneu
vers it was officially reported that the
Pennsylvania, with a broadside of
twelve guns, hit a target with five
shells at a range of eleven Bea miles.
Officials of the Navy Department hear
that the Utah, steaming at full speed,
hit one of four obsolete torpedoboats
with the third shot at a range of four
miles. In a few minutes one enrt of
the target started down, the stern rose
and the vessel p'.unged to the bottom.
When Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Roosevelt heard of the tests he
said that he had suggested a much
more difficult type.
"I have proposed to several officers,"
he said, "that instead of anchoring
obsolete vessels to be shot at, we get
up a good head of steam and start
them directly toward the battleships.
As soon as the obsolete vessels are
under way the crews can abandon
them. The targets con make twenty
or twenty-two knots an hour, so it
would be a real test for the battleships
to figure out their range and sink
them, especially in night practice.
"Some officers disapprove on the
ground that it would be dangerous to
attempt to get the crews off. but they
could leave the torpodoboats just as
soon as the ships had been started
toward the battleships. As it is now,
it is impossible to tow a target faster
than six or eight miles an hour."
A FUNNY ADDITION SUM
How many apples did Adam and Eve
eat?
Some say Eve 8 and Adam 2—a total
of 10 only.
Now we figure the thing far different
ly: Eve 8 and Adam 8 also—total 16.
We think the above figures are en
tirely wrong.
If Eve 8 and Adam 82, certainly the
total will be 90.
Scientific men, however, on the
strength of the theory that the ante
diluvians were a race of giants, reason
something like this: Eve 81 and Adam
82—total 163.
Wrong again. What could be clearer
than If Eve 81 and Adam 812 the total
.was 893?
1 believe the following to be the
true solution: Eve 814 Adam and Adam
8124 Eve—B93B.
Still another calculation is as fol
lows: If Eve 814 Adam, Adam 81242
oblige Eve—total 82,056.
