AM MILITIA
IS AUTHORIZED
Gov. J. F. A. Strong has received a
letter from Secretary of War Newton
D. Baker in reply to a letter of in
quiry in regard to the formation of a
national guard in Alaska. The reply,
printed below, explains itself:
“I have your letter of the 12th in
stant regarding the organization of a
national guard unit in the territory of
Alaska, and in reply I would state
that under the act of June 3, 1916,
provision is made for such organiza
tions in the territories.
“In due process the quota from
each territory and regulations with
references to their organizations will
be promulgated and the governors in
formed/’
An analysis of the army reorgani
zation bill which was issued recently
by Secretary of War Newton D. Ba
ker, was received by Gov. J. F. A.
Strong. The bill provides for one full
regiment of national guards in Alas
ka. The analysis was accompanied
by a letter to the governor from Sen
ator G. E. Chamberlain, of Oregon,
the father of the bill, which states
that Alaska is being taken care of
and Governor Strong expects to re
ceive instructions from the secretary
of war to organize the regiment.
The new bill, as passed, provides
that no one except officers of the reg
ular army, national guardsmen, mem
bers of the marine corps, and of the'
navy may wear the uniform of the
United States, or anything which pur
ports to be a uniform of the United
States and provides for a penalty for
those violating the section.
The bill also provides that the
president may supply arms and am
munition and provide rifle ranges
where the members of the guard may
hold regular practices in order that
they may become proficient in the use
of small arms.
