' The old organized militia was the back bone and mainstay of the U.- S. army, for it "cracked all the hard nuts" that ame the Americans' way except in pne or two instances. There were some fine troops in the old regular establishment, and a lot of raw ma tonal as well. ' The national guard was "primed for offensive work fill the way through.

Washington, May x 19. Tasks faced by the 66th Congress, meeting today, in . extraordinary session, threaten to match the tremendous duties , the war Congress faced. The war Congress, in the case of most war measures, had a definite tmng to do, and took the shortest cut to the gcaL . The incoming Congress, however, has problems of peace to solve as momentous as those of war, but with out tho urge of making every day count for victory, or the patriotic in centive to unity which the war fur nished. Here are the chief tasks before the new Congress: I , Adoption of an army and a navy program on a peace Basis, and ap propriation of the money necessary to carry them into effect. Solution of the railroad puzzle by legislating for the future control of the lines. Settlement of the amounts to be paid the telephone and telegraph companies for the use of their lines by tho government during the emer gency. . Decision as to the future of the merchant 1 marine. ' Legislation to aid business in get ting back from "a war to a peace basis. . " Legislation to enforce national prohibition. ' Legislation demanded by labor. . Legislation to curb bolshevism.
