23 THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, MARCH 1¥, 1898-24 PAGES. ———S ns 5 THE NATIONAL GUARD Advantages of Sea Girt as a Camping Place. NEW EXPERIENCE WILL BE GAINED tatus of the Guard in the Event of War. 2 OF CARRIER PIGEONS es c The situation as regards the encampment of the District of Columbia National Guard at Sea Girt during the coming summer is unchanged. The most important point that remains to be decided is in reference to the date of going into camp. Nothing can be done in that direction, however, until the New Jersey officials reach a conclusion covering the period of the encampment of the New Jersey troops. As heretofore stated, the understanding is that the Jer- seymen will finally break camp early in August and that the organized militia ot the District will take possession of the camp grounds immediately thereafter. The suggestion has been made, in view of the probability that the brigade will be represented by a team at the next annual meeting of the New Jersey State Rifle As- sociation, that the date for the camp be fixed so that the outing will terminate within a day or two of the day set for the opening of the fifle meeting, August 2. The statement is made by those interested that unless the camp and the rite meeting are contiguous, it will be impossible to hoid the members of the rifle team at Sea Girt in the interim between the close of the camp and the opening of the shoot. In reply to this suggestion it may be stated that in the very likely event that the brigade doe match excuse ment. Only One Objection Heard. Only one objection has been heard in ref- erence to the proposition to hold the next camp at Sea Girt, and that does not ema- nate from one connected with the organ- ized militia, but from an individual said to be a Washington business man. Hi complaint is to the effect that it har seems the proper thing to take the brigade so far away from the District of Colum- Dia that its work in camp cannot be ob- served by the loca: taxpayers with con- venience At the outset it shevld be thoroughly un- Cerstood that the outing to be taken next Avgust will constitute a camp of mstruc- tien. It is not b means In the nature oi a pleasure trip, and, therefore, the fewer the number of Vv the better. ‘The guardsmen spend under canvas to put in the grea Ssible amouni of »tk—work that is not possib!e in the Large numbers of visiters tc camp, it has been found, interfere to a considerable extent with the work that it is desired sheuld be zecomplished. Another ctor in favor of Sea Girt is ¢ is no suitable camp ground in the vicinity of this city, it e to again obtain permis- gion from the War Department to make of the government reservation at Fort yashingien for such purpose. In order to any stret ¢ ground that might be this vicinity im proper condi- require the expenditure of a se sum of money. Furthermore, an out- “™) would have to be made se of mess and st hand, Sea Girt i i camp ground. A water s atio id everything in the way of sheds and stable facilities is on It will not be necessary, in going camp, to transport from tais city a and of camp equipage. Should the camp be held here, the hauling of tons and tons of tents and like paraphernelia would be required. An important featcre in connection with the trip to Sea Girt will be the experience that will be gained in loading troops on railread cars ard maintaining discipline threughout a journey of some length, par- ticularly in passing through large cities, -ch as Baltimore, Wilmington and Phil- lelphia—experience that would be partic- iy valuable in the event that the guard should at any time be called into active service. In addition, a camp by the shcre is more than ordinarily desirable for reasons that do not need to be debated. Should the President Call. Considerable doubt seems to exist among local zuardsmen as to the relation cf the Ivstri:t National Gvard to the organized militia of the several states in the event of war. The District militia is organized un- der a special act of Congress, providing that ft may be called into the service of enter a team in the rifle . the members of that team will be from participating in the encamp- the U tes by the President. At the cutbri ostilities the supposition is that President would call the brigade inte the service of the United States, and € man, unless preperly excused, would be compelled to respond, even though it might be necessary to resort to the eatrem- ity of taking him from his home by force through the meditm of a provost guard. In the several states the procedy be entirely different. The President, for instance, might call cn the governor of the state of New Yerk to furnish a certain number of men. The governor in turn could order out all or any portion of the > militia, he could not force any whose desires night be to the con- to enter the service of the United States. It would be necessary for the gverdsm=n of the state to volunteer thei services to the United States. The go €rnor cou!d not force his men to perfo duty outside the state. trict ef Columbia N: 1 into the service of the probabilities are, in the epinic who ought to know, that the brigade would not be removed’ from this locality. It might take station at Fort Myer, Va. ould the regulars there b a or at Washington barrac! maintained in the heart of the city to guard the government buildings and other interests. Carrier Pigeond Available. In the event of the outbreak of hostil- ities the local brigade, through its Engineer Corps, could have the use of about 30) hom- ing pigeons. The birds are the property of members of the National Capital Flying Club, all being first-class stock, with many gf the number classed as long-distance vers. The Engireer Corps several yzars ago Possessed a pigeon loft, but the frequent change of quarters rendered this feature of the work of th2 corps impracticable. First Aid to the Injured. The Ist Regiment, it se2ms, will be pre- pared for any emergency in the event the D. C. N. G. is called into the servic rd States. Col. Winthrop Alex: mental commander, has issued a 1 order, setting forth that battalion ons will give instruction to the offi- cers and enlisted men of their commands in “tirst aid to the injured,” touching upon the subjects outlined below and such others of value as may suggest themselv2s. At least twe lectures will be given, it is stipu- lated, and the various points iliustrated as = as possible by practicable demonstra- jon. ‘These lectures will b>gin as soon as prac- tcabie and will be completed prior to May 1. They will be counted as assemblies, and in addition to including them in the drill #nd parade repert, battalion surgeons are instruct2d to forward immediately after €ach lecture a statement of attendance of cficers and men to the regimental adju- tant. Battalion commanders are direc-ed to endeavor to secur> as large an attend- ence as possible, issuing orders especially to_cover the lecture. The following are the subjects to be treated: “Anatomy of the Skeleton,” ““Na- tur: and Treatment of All Fractures Liable to Oceur,” “Prevention of Damage and Pain Prior to Setting of Bones,” “Use of Im- provised Splints,” “Dislocations and Treat- ment,” “The Arterial System,” “Difference Between Artzrial and Venous Hemor- — — — eee te Hemor- rhages,” .“Use ‘ourniquet, Bandages, etc." Danger of Reactionary Hemorrhage,” “Gunshot Wounds—How Treated,” “Valu of Antiseptic Methods,” “Shock—Character and Treatment,” ‘“Sunstroke and Heat- stroke,” “Drowning—Methods_of Resusci- «< tional LRILI ) SOM EET STATE CAPITOL OF COLORADO, ‘The Colorado state capitol is situated in an open park of elever acres in the city of Denver.
