BL EASE'S REPLY WAS UNSATISFACTORY / - Secretary Garrison's Demand for a "Proper Communication" not Met Columbia, 8. C, July 10.?That the encampment of the throe regiments ^'f the Natonal Guard will <b? hold on Alme and that the federal government will not withdraw Its appropriation of approximately $70,000 for the main tenance of tho ?t?te militia, now seems probable by roason of a telegram from Governor Blease addressed to L. M. Garrison, secretary of war, Thursday morning in answer to a lottor from tho lattor received by the chief nx ecutlvc tho same date, is the opinion of the military authorities in Columbia. In substanco, the governor assures tho secrotary of war thut he can be as sured of his "co-operation und assis tance in bringing about a compliance on tho part of tho National Guard of this state with the provisions of the military law as enacted by congress," which was one of the specifications as set forth In the secretary's letter. Tho governor's telegram asked the secretary of war to wire orders for on encampment to begin on July 17, one week from Thursday. Tho lottor of Secretary Garrison, dated in Washington, JulyS, is in an swer to a comunlcation from Gov ernor Blease under date of July 5. Tho commun cation says that federal as sistance will immediately be resumed when Govornor Wense resumes proper relations with the department; that what in meant by this is that the sec retary can count upon the governor's cooperation and assistance in bringing about a compliance on the part of the National Guard with the military law as enacted by the congress. The action of the governor Thurs day morning may end what has been a Bource of vexation and worry to the military men of the state for the past few weeks. The whole controversy, which at times became acrimonious, hinged on tho refusal of Governor Blcaso to withdraw 11 companies of the National Guard from the service on the request of the war department, because of the alleged neglect or these companion to comply with the provi sions of tho military code. Governor Blease took the position that, if the men of tho alleged improperly con ducted companies were given another chanco, they could "make good." When nsked Thursday afternoon If, in his opinon, tho war department would resume federal assistance to the state National Guard as the re sult of Governor Blcase's telegram, W. W. Moore, adjutant general of the state, replied that ho thotnrht so: that, in his opinion, the telegram had an swered the specifications contained in Secretary Garrison's letter. Tho telegram of Governor Blease to Secretary Garrison Thursday follows: "July 10, 1913. "Hon. L. M. Garrison, The Secretary or War Washington, D. C.
