CUSTOM WORK POPULAR. Administration of ths customs in the Dominican republic, said General McIntyre, la "strong in the good will of the Dominican government and the people, and is performing efficiently the duties imposed upon it."

As a result of my experience during one year as a member of the war department of general staff, four years as chief e th militia bureau, and years of continuous active national guard service, I feel qualified to speak on this subject. 'There is much, to praiss and comparatively little to condemn. Jealousy, animosity and personal advancement muHt have no place in this great undertaking, which has won such hearty approval. "I still urge strongly as ever the amendment of the law so as to provide that there shall be issued to federally recognized national guhrd officers commissions In the federal service, to become effective without reference to appointment or commission in the officers' reserve corps.
