GUARD’S ANNUAL CAMP UNCERTAIN MA TTER. Trouble in C/)mé May Prevent Ap- propriation. Shipping 0)“ Regu lars Also Les-' sens Chance. —— That which is now engaging the atten- tion of every National Guardsman in Cal- ifornia is, “What about the camp in June next?” The Indications at this time, in view of the stand that the National Gov- ernment is taking in the matter of a pos- siffle war with China, are discouraging for an encampment with the regulars at Atascadero or elsewhere in the State this vear. If the Government is to mobilize the spare troops of the regular army at the Philippines there will not be enough regu- lars on this coast to go to camp, as posts already ¢stablished cannot be deserted. Then if the war movement with regard to China is carried out further than it has been the chances for an extra appropria- tion for the National Guard of the several States and Territories will be killed. It is upon this possible appropriation that the guard of this State expects to be able to arrange a camp this year, even though it should not be a joint one with the regu- lars. As has already been announced, the State appropriation will not warrant a | general camp of instrudtion, therefore if Congress does not help the chances are that the orders for a camp in June will have to be recalled and the whole matter. latd over for a year. If that determina- tion is reached it is possiole ' that the money available for the guard this year may be used for target practice. Lieutenant Colonel W. G. Schreiber of Los Angeles was asked last week in re- gard to a possible camp, and he said: “I think that it is generally conceded that it-would be economy to meet at Atascadero, for the necessary equipment | is already there, but if the United States | Government appropriation is not granted | the organizations of the southern and | those of the northern brigades will have | to hold separate camps, which is not so | desirable as meeting together for maneu- | vering. 1f it should come to divided camps the important matter to be consid- ered will be a me:ting place, or rendes- vous. What is necded is a place where there is sufficient pure water for domestic | purposes and for bathing. If the men of the First Brigade cannot meet in joint | camp with the men of the Second Brigade | they would like to go to some mountain, nook, where there is plenty of pure water."” FOR JOINT MANEUVERS. The amount asked for on behalf of joint | | $700,000, and the plan is to have such m: neuvers in different sections of the coun- try. If the appropriation is made regulars will be transported by various means to a selected site and the National Guard in the distriet will be invited to camp, arill and work with Uncie Sam’s boys in blue. There is also asked an appropriation of | 875,000 for the encouragement of rifle prac- tice for the regu and the endeavor to increase the numbcr of experts who can use the rifle will be extended to the Na- tional Guard of the States and Territories. The National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice with headquarters at ‘Washington, D. C., has sent out a lengthy paper in which it approves of such practice in the New York high schools and urges that throughout the country like practice be encouraged, following the | example of England, which makes a spe- cialty of the encouragement of target shooting by the public school students. This paper 3a; “There are fifteen in- stitutfons of learning in the United States having military instructors detailed from the army under =an agreement by which the students are liable to a cer- tain percentage of military duty, vet with thirty thousand students in these insti- tutions nothing has been doné toward encouraging rifle practice. It is believed that much good could and' would be done among the students were suitable ranges available which would bé to.the great physical advantage of the young men; as to be a good shot requires a clear cye and a steady nerve. Preliminary to this a nec- essary part of the training ircludes the avoidance of Intoxicants, excesses and | ] { | - | late hours. The young men are encour- | aged to live correctly that they may ex- cel in this manly sport.” SEVERAL INSPECTIONS, In regard to the increase of effective- ness in the National Guard by reason of practice, it cites that in Indiana during 1904 the highest figure of merit by any organization -was 7 per cent, but that after practice the following year it reached 27 per cent and that same im- | provement has been noted where atten- tion has been given to rifie practice by the National Guard. In California an ef- fort will be made to increase the cffi- ciency of the men of the guard in rifie | practice and maie them marksmen in | fact as well as in theory. | On the third Saturday in the current month Inspector Colonel Wilhelm, ac- companied by Major D. A. Smith, in- spected Company 1 of the Fifth Infantry at Livermore, the last organization of that regiment to be looked at with the critical eye. The company had %4 per cent for attendance, three absent. In this company there are many prominent men of the place and all made a fine ap- pearance. Captain Inman, commanding, appeared for the first time before an in- epecting officer and stood the ordeal well. Lieutenants Beck and Young also did well. x The inspection of Company B at the First Infantry Regiment Armory Monday was an agreeable surprise. This company, commanded by Captain Alexan- der McCulloch, made a good appearance, with only one absent, which entitled it to 98 per cent. The routine of inspection was followed by the execution of a num- ber of orders, marcning and /close oraer formations, together with rarige and rapld firing. The captain and Lieutenants Rus- gell snd Middlestadt gave evidence of satisfactory handling of the company,’ and the non-coms displayed good knowl- edge as to their respective Auties. The following night Company C was on the floor in the Page-street Armory, un- der command of Captain William B. Cor- coran. Twelve were absent at roll call, consequently the credit of attendance will be but 7 per cent. This company has officers who are anxious and willing to do well along the narrow military line laid down and have the men become real soldiers. A pleasing feature of the In- on was the appearance of the qu: termaster’s storeroom. It was in sucl applepie order that some one looking at it remarked that “It is as precise as an 0ld maid’s room, with a particular place for evi and a particular thi for ants charge S mokbla. that, whila ‘the SefYiatts ot 3 le e y or&’l: efficiency in the line of duty, who are nearly all ‘‘new men,” to much better advantage than the sergeants, who gaining 88 per cent on attendance. This company has but one lieutenant, Edward B. Gould, there being a vacancy in the second lieutenancy. The company did not make a good showing and as a whole showed a lack of the instruction 1t should have had. While no comments were made, there {s some curiosity to note forwarded to headquarters. On Friday night Company E, with a membership of forty-two, appeared for inspection with only one commissioned of- ficer, Captain Willlam }. Wehser. There is one vacancy in the lieutenancy, and the other was not pressnt. There were eight absent, 5o the company will receive but $1 for percentage of attendance. ihe inspection as a whole demonstrated that there has been a lack of instruction to place the company in the rank of active ones of the regiment. Cecil H. Carcass, second lieutenant of Company A, First Infantry, who was re- cently elected first lfeutenant of the com- pany, will have to remain where he is for the reason that he went before ue regimental board of examiners, which of late has become stricter that it had been previously in regard to examina- tions, and failed to pass. The question now arises: “Is a man who cannot pass exarination for first lleutenant, which position he may be called upon to | take in action,qualified to hold a com- mission as m‘lfl lieutenant?” This may become a_tastter of military inquiry in | pany A has‘been ordered for next Thurs- day. the near future: A new election in Com- Percy J. Cooke, second lieutenant-elect of Company B, Second Infantry, has paesed a successful examination before) the regimental board. George F. Schroder ‘of Company G, lo- cated at Alameda, has tendered his res- ignation as first lieutenant of the com- pany, but it has not yet been accepted. It is orobable that other resignations from this company will follow. First Lieutenant Frederick A. Marriott, battalion adjutant of the First Infantry, has alzo tendered his resignation. This came in the nature of a surprise. The resignation has not been accepted as vet. MONTHLY RETURNS. Orders have been issued from the head- quarters of the Second grigade to com- pany commanders that ail monthly re- turns must be at headquarters before the 1nh of each month. The inspections this year have been stricter than in the past, not with the idea of driving commissioned officers out of the organization, but of making good officers realize what their duties are, so that if-at any time they should be called upon they will be fully qualified to have their commands act either as guardsmen or as an adjunct to the regular army, without having to pass a probationary period, as the guardsmen had to do when serving in the Spanish-American War. The unusual number of resignations that have been sent in by commisioned officers of late were from men who real- fzéd that they are not cut out for sol- diers. An effort will be made to induce the companies that have lost officers to replace them by men who, if elected and i army and National Guard maneuvers i8| . .. icioned, will appreclate the value of being first-class National Guardsmen. When Major Walter N. Kelly was elected colonel of the First Infantiry, to succeed Colonel George Filmer, he made & declaration that the regiment, when he assumes command, must wake up along the line of duty, and that when the com- floor at a fixed time they must be there, as promptness at attendance as well as in all other matters will be insisted upon. At that same meeting Brigadier General Koster was present and delivered a short address, which was free from “not air.” He stated that he will insist wpon every omcer in the brigade becoming proficient in the line of duty, and intimated that those who feel that they are not qualified to execute such duty had better make Liemselves proficient. He sald that his aim will be to have the organization in his brigade gain the respect of all classes of people. - ouUT OF CITY GUARD. Companies C and F of Fresno, Sixth In- fantry, together with Company 1 of Han- ford, same regiment, celebrated Washing- lead in a parade and then going to Recre- ation Park. where there was military ma- neuvering and a mimic battle between the local companies and a company of Span- ish War Veterans, which gave the guards- men an opportunity of carrying out a problem they had, been studying for some time under the instructions of Battalion Major Ed Jones. The “battle” was wit- nesesd by about 2000 persons. In the even- ing there was a ball in the armory. Colonel Henry I. Seymour of Sacramen- to, commanding the Second Infantry Reg- iment, was in this city last week and called at brigade headquarters to pay his respects to the brigadier. Company D, Second Infantry, located at Maryeville, had a grand ball in its armory last weck, and it was a decided success. A few days previous to the ball Captain P. J. Divver, commanding the company, called upon the city and the county officials, as well as a large number of the most prominent citizens, ‘and in- formed them of the approaching ball. All expressed a willingness to “take tickets,” but the captain, while thanking each, sald, “] appreciate your desire to take tickets, but I want your presence at the ball to encourage the company.” And the com- pany was encouraged by the attendance of all who had been reminded that they “wought to take an interest In the com- pany.” —_——————— NATION NEEDS RPREVIVAL Senntor Beveridge ys It Must Sober Itself From the Saturnalla of Extravagance. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 25—Sena- tor Beveridge was the principal speak- er at the celebration of Washington's birthday by the Young Men’s Christian Association of Indianapolis today. “The spirit of Washington,” said Senator Beveridge, “bids the American people today to sober itself from the saturnalia of personal and national ex- travagance.
