G Fraser, will have an air- | plane unit. The unit will consist of | one observation squadron, of 31 offi- cers, 132 men and 13 airplanes, an¢ an air park, composed of 3. officers’ and 172 men, The competition for the aero squa drons in the Thirty-fifth division was keen, North Da@kota and Minnesot: being awarded the units. ¢@ Plans to organize the Nationa Guard in North Dakota under the new | plan announced at a’ conference hel¢ in Omaha, at which Adjut. Gen. Fra ser and Major Harold Sorenson rep- resented the state, will be put into | fect immediately. There will be v tually no change in existing units, but | the whole plan of guard organizatio; is enlarged. North Dakota is in the Thirty-fourt? division, with South Dakota, Minne sota and Iowa, and these four stater with Nebraska, Kansas and Missour: are in the Seventh army corps, anc the eight states, with others, comprise the Third army.

Fraser will seek to bring the state guard is 3284. The plans outlined at the Omaha conference ‘are tentative to a degree, but it is believed by the militia bu- reau heads that Congress will au- thorize their completion.. A suggestion was made at the con ference, which may be developed into the system of training, that the north- west troops engage’ in) maneuvers iti the south two or three weeks in the winter, it being held that men in th northwest, many of whom are engage in agriculture, are better able to give the time to drill in the winter. it is contemplated that the troops required under the allotment which are provided with equipment such 1s hospital equipment will also be drilled as infantry so that: they may be usec as infantry in emefgencies. the Infantry Reginsent The regiment of infantry, under plan, would be composed of a regi- mental headquarters of five officers: three battalions, each having 15 ch ficers and, $37,, men; battalion head- quarters of 4 officers’ atid 64 men each; three rifle companies of 3 of- | ficers and 100 men each; a machine | gun company of two officers and 7 men; a howitzer company of 2 of- ficers and 60 men; a headquarters coma of 2 officers and 70 men: one administration company of 3 of- ficers and 150 men; 1 chaplain and attached medical and dental officers and men. About the only change made from the present infantry organization of the state is that there will be three machine gun companies instead of one, and nine infantry companies in ste twelve. res oe Review of Situation A review of the guard situation. as | siven by the Adjutant General's oi- | fice, follows: aE “Under the provisi tional Defense act, as the Act of Congress appr 1920, the United States, is no d with reference to military population, into nine administrative areas, whi replace the old departments and .a officially known as Corps Areas.
