August 7, 1812.—Enthusiasm for the war with Great Britain is manifest in Washington, just as it is in the cther States this Summer. But, as explained by the editor of the National Intelligencer today, the status of the militia here is different from that in the States of New Eng-, land. There the governors claim and ¢ rercise the right to dctermine the need of calling out the troops. They refuse to have them placed under the com- mand cf officers of the Regular Army | in case they are furnished for service| in the field against the enemy. It is held in New Englané that the control | of the troops, even when part of an army ‘in the fleld, rests with the State | and not with the President of the| United States. | But the citizens of Washington have given no such authority to their mayors | or other local authorities. At a meeling | of the men of the City of Washington re- cently it was resolved that all of the citizens of the Federal City of 45 years, | and even upward of that age, should be eligible to form a military company, | and plans were made to tender their services without delay to President Madi for use a. he may see fit against the common enemy. An order is to be issued from militia headquarters in this city to enroll every | man subject to military duty, except | those who have joined volunteer com- | panies. | The same spirit has been shown in other parts of the District of Columbia. | Alexandria City, in the southern point of the District, is showing her enthusi- asm for the war by preparing to offer | her support to President Madison in a similar manner. It is expected that a| company of about 60 men will be raised voluntarily in Alexandria. The citizens of Georgetown also are' full of patriotic enthusiasm this Sum- mer, and are taking steps to raise vol- | untcer troops and place them_entirely under the control of President, Madison. Washington is regarded as a long way from the seat of the war, but that makes no difference. The general opin- | ion of military men is that it will be fought along the Canadian border. | While some of the men of our Navy| point to the possibility of the British | attacking the Federal City by way of the Potomac or Patuxent River, most | fi( ;.na people do not regard that as| ikely. |11 | been in the service of thaf | reached | package of papers | promised me the lopportunity of | lcoking | George Washington | men. | House. o FEATURES.

Years ago, when he was an assistant file clerk in the House, Page by sheer | accident ran across this prized collec- tion of documents. He remembers vividly the excitement occasioned by his discovery and how his immediate supe- rior in the file room, when first shown the leiters, ordered all doors locked and sat down and cried like a baby. On this morning, as we rummaged through_the collection, letter after let- ter in Washington’s own handwriting was handed us for inspection. Thers was one which was particularly interesting. It was dated at Mount Vernon, November 18, 1781, and was directed to Col. Harrison, It dealt with the surrender of Cornwallis at York- town. “I thank you Look Years Younger Sallow, Dingy Skin made Lovely — Coarse Pores become Fine — Stops oily skin, removes blackheads The newest discovery in beauty cul- ture is that cremed magnesia beauti- fies the skin instantly, in the same easy way that milk of magnesia puri- fies the stomach. This is because skin impurities are acid. Doctors treat acid inside the body with milk of magnesia. And now, dermatolo- gists are getting amazing results in banishing’ complexion faults with cremed magnesia. All you do anoint your skin with it, massage and rinse_with water. It's as simple as washing your face. It reduces enlarged pores to the ‘| finest, smoothest texture. Being as- tringent, it drives away the tell-tale signs of age. It rejuvenates the skin so quickly that any woman can look lovely tonight, years younger. And because it is so mild, it certainly is a blessing for fine, sensitive skins that soap so easily irritates and coarsens.
