Plans vubeenm.dempmmd auxiliary for a country at Cabin Md., April 2. A buffet sup served and all members of the posts and auxiliarres will be wel- munition, if it is found that funds are available, in addition to the individual and organizational allowances, as may be nec for such as competitions. A jed report covering the purpose for which the am- munition is required, the amount neces- sary and the training benefits to be obtained must accompany such requests. ‘The bureau says her that it has been noted that many States indicated large expenditures for ammunition in their expenditures reports, while the practice reports failed to show sufficient firing to warrant the amounts reported as expended, These latter re- ports, it was said, should be indicative of the ammunition actually consumed and therefore will be given great weight in the allocation of ammunition. It was added that in many cases, from the in- formation furnished in these reports, it must be necessarily assumed that target practice is not being conducted or is only partially conducted by the State concerned and the apportionment of ammunition is given accordingly. ‘The Militia Bureau has reported that during the school year which ended June 30 last, 205 officers and 131 en- listed men of the National Guard were authorized to attend regular and spe- cial courses at Army service schools. This increase of 28 officers and 1 en- listed man over the numher sent the previous year was made pamsible by an increase of $25,750 in funds available for this purpose. These courses are said to be becoming more popular each year. During the past year it was pos- sible to authorize attendance of only about 50 per cent of the personnel who made applications therefor. Of the number sent to schools 10 officers and 6 enlisted men falled to meet the educational qualifications to satisfactorily complete the courses; 2 officers and 1 enlisted man failed to graduate on account of sickness; 3 officers and 9 enlisted men were relieved shortly after reporting for duty at schools because of physical disability. During the past year, it was pointed out, & requirement has been put into effect that the application of every officer must be accompanied by a cer- tificate from a medical officer stating positively that the applicant is physical- ly qualified to lorm the strenuous duties required of a student at the Army service schools. Also, more searching inquiry is being made into the educational qualifications of those authorized to attend. While the num- ber of failures due to various causes has not been excessive, continued effort will be made to cut the number to the absolute minimum. The apportionment for the attendance of National Guard at service schools during the past year was $375,000. This sum, ft was said, pro- Vides for only about half the number that desired to take advantage of this important form of military training. Due to the limited time avallable for training and the wide distribution of the National Guard Army service schools provide an invaluable means of instruction for selected officers and enlisted men, who, upon return to their local organizations, are well bu’;%auhnpom, o € bureau added, that with a grea appreciation of the value of cou: offered at these Army service schools and a gradual increase in the strength ! the National Guard, provision should be made for an addition to the appro- priation for this essential form of in- struction. At least $450,000 should be authorized for this purpose in future years, the bureau says. This amount, it 'v‘v;;s said, would provide for the at- dance of approximately 370 officers and 140 enlisted men annually, or about 28 per cent of the present commis- sloned and Jess than one-tenth of 1 per cent of the enlisf National Guard, e Reports received at the Militia Bureau g]hc}:'caw a wide range in variety and character of the use of the National Guard by the various States in emer- gencles. In fact, the bureau reports, the record shows very clearly that the Guard has proven the main dependence of the State whenever an unusual situation, or one with which the noraml agencies were unable to cope, has arisen. It has been the reliance of the States not only in upholding law, main- taining order and Protecting life and property when the civil authorities have failed or required additional support, but in the work of relief, rescue and rehabilitation in case of & public calamity, disaster or distress. % J‘ne bureau says further that in some thates Jt Dhas been interesting to note t definite plans of operation have been prepared covering almost every concetvable emergency, to the end that the National Guard may be ready to | cumnftinn Prompily and efficiently upon Dock Floats 13,000 Miles.
