After directing attention to the Na- tional Guard regulations which say that the period of actual military duty and instruction participated in by each officer, warrant officer and enlisted man, whether at a single formation assembly or at a split drill, shall be at least one and one-half hours’ duration, exclu- sive of rests and interruptions, the or- der_continues: “Members of the Guard will not be permitted to quit drill or instruction except under orders from higher au- thority or when absolutely necessary. Ih no case does this permit falling out to visit adjacent stores or to tele- phone for personal convenience. “Company and detachment command- ers will not devote the drill period to administrative duties and expect subordinates to instruct and control the members of the organization, It is desirable for the purpose of instruc- tion to have juniors exercise command, but the company or detachment com mander should still control and super- vise the instruction. Officers who are llowed administrative pay will perform administrative duties at some time other than during the drill period. There are certain company commanders who can be found in their company rooms at any time during drill. | The growing importance of training | in chemical warfure practices is stressed | in the schedule. It provides that a plan for training units in chemical war- fare during the armory period will be included in all’ training programs. It is'stipulated that the plan includes the employment during several drill peri- ods of officer and non-commissioned officer instructors who have received their instruction in a camp during the preceding Summer. The instruction must be made as practicable in all re- spects as possible, and to accomplish this one mask for each officer and enlisted man attending the drill is re- quired. ‘The corps area commander says that each regiment should be equipped with sufficient masks “or one troop, battery or company, and the plan for this training should include the routing of the masks from one unit to another within the regiment, so that all units may have this instruction at some time during the armory period. The following are considered the maximum requirements for unit train- ing, it was said: Individual—Fituing, testing, inspec- tion and care of masks; mask drill, per- formance of duty while wearing masks, employment of phosphorus grenades, smokes and nontoxic gases; protection of arms, equipment and materiel; de- tection of gas, protection of individuals. Commissioned officers of all arms— Use, care, inspection and re| of chem- ical warfare protective appliances; con- struction and use of gasproof shelters, issue of orders covering chemical war- This practice | fare protective measured to be em- must _cease. | ployed, the duties of officers and non- “Regimental and battalion command- commissidned officers charged wtih the ers will supervise the instruction of their | execution of chemical warfare defensive units and see that orders and reg- | ulations are being properly carried out. ‘They should feel that they have an active part in the control of organiza- tion during drill and not spend the drill period in their offices on admin- istrative dnties. They are tactical com- manders and as such should prevent individuals and organizations from | wandering around in violation of para- graph 12, N. G. R. 45. They should ob- serve the training of the companies and detachments under their command. “It is desired to note in this con- nection that improvements in above particulars have been made during the | past year. The promptuess and mili- tary precision of assemblies is very satisfactory. This same spirit should now be extended over the entire drill period.” Private James J. McCarty has been promoted to private, first class, in the }llndqulmrs Detachment, 29th Divi- sion. Corp. Eugene A. Gross has been pro- moted to sergeant in the 29th Division Military Police Company upon recom- mendation of the unit commsander. Brig. Gen. Charles H.

Taking up the matter of general training, the program order states that during the armcry drill period there should be stressed, wherever applicable to the branch or unit, discipline, with applicatory extension to field training: leadership, with extension through field training period; drill, close and extend- ed order, extension to the field train- ing at the absolute minimum neces- sary; training in combat principles and duties of the leaders of small units; principles of musketry, scouting and patrolling, bayonet training as applica- ble to the armory period; first and tent pitching as may be practicabl musketry and adjustment of packs, di play of equipment, interior guard duty, practical shows that he was commissioned li." with practical application to the first lieutenant, Company B, 4th Battalion, October 4, 1894, and hono: ably November 8, 1895, be. cause of disl it of the organ tion. Two days later he enlisted in Company C, 4th Battalion, from which he was honorably discharged April 17, 1896, to accept promotion by commission. The following day he was commissioned first lleutenant of Company C, 4th Battalion. He was| transferred to the unassigned list May 7, 1897, and was honorably discharged April 23, 1898. Private Alfred L. Little has been transferred from the Reserve to the active list of Company A, 372d In- fantry. Company A, 3724 Infantry, will com- plete its 15-day tour of training duty at Camp Albert C. Ritchie, Cascade, Md,, today and will return to Washing- | ton. The colored troops were the only local militiamen to be assigned to the Maryland camp site for training this year, the others having been sent to various stations. During the tour in camp the militia- men were visited and inspected by Maj. | Gen. Anton Stephan, commanding the | local brigade, and Lieut. Col. F. H. Smith, the adjutant general. Capt. Ralph L. Walker, aide to the general, accompanied him, and Cape. Claude Burlingame was ordered to the camp for temporary duty in connection with | property reports. | ‘The following have been transferred | from the Reserve to the active list of | Company E, 121st Engineers: Pvts, Malcolm T.

The War Department has called at- tention in a circilar to the fact tha due to the large turnover in the N: tional Guard, the training must be con- fined to basic work. To all those study- ing the training requirements of the National Guard, the Militia Bureau em- phasizes that consideration must be given to the aggregate numbers of troops involved and to the fact that they are distributed through the 51 States and Territories, each of which mticx sses varying military characteris- National Guard a tes training Tast yoar " Were: Infamiry, 93,022; Field Artillery, 33,078; Coast Artillery, 12,784; Cavalry, 11,902; En- gineer Corps, 7,770; Medical Corps, 7,109; Quartermaster Col (trains), gé!'rl; Awlal(l}orp-. 2,052; Signal Corps, 3 mi aneous, 6,830; ”g”- 15, 6,830; a total of nsidering the above, the depart- ments says, the large yearly turnover in personnel and the information ob- tained from inspections made, it s be- lieved that the greater part of National Guard training must be basic. Al- though progress has been made during the last training year, still greater progress must be obtained in funda- mentals. However, when a unit or or- ganization demorstrates that it needs only refresh from time to time in these fundamentals, the Militia Bureau will encourage an extension of the scope of training under distinct authority from the corps aea commander. Demonstration of abllity to extend in scope automatically requires a train- ing survey that systematically estab- lishes the actual training status by in- dividual, section and platoo: ‘The National d_compan; & mander has many perplexln:. pr%mceoa:la. the Militia Buresu points out, not the least of which is that of securing full attendance at a'mory instruction, in spite of the competition provided by the movies, bowling alleys, club enter- tainments and tne attractions of the family fireside, All of these competi- tors for the soldisrs’ attention are for- midable in proportion to the interest they inspire, and this suggests the best solution of the drill attendance prob- lem—make instruction interesting, In- terest, the bureau says, can be aroused and maintained by variety in subjects presented and by the manner of pres- entation.

Stress is required to be laid upon sup- ply dn connection with the tactics in- volved in problems and exercises. Attention is called to the statement that the basis of a successful target season is the thorough preparatory in- struction prescribed in the training regulations. The commander says that ‘before firing a single shot on the range every man should complete this course, including the tests. instruction, it is stipulated, can and will be given during far firing should be completed during armory period at home stations in der to_permit the maximum time pos- sible during the field training period to be . dev exclusively to the more dvanced phases of training, combat exercises and field problems.
