Inereased Interest ia Rifle Firing in the
Army-@ ,SSI,674 Expended by the
Ordnance Department During the
Year--DesertiOns Reported on the De-
CreSse--5, ,l64 Recruits.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 50.-The annual re-
port of Gen. Benet. chief OF ordnance OF
the United States, was to-day made pub
lie. The total expenditures of the bureau
during the fiscal year ending June 80,
1885, were $1,S31,674. During the year
40,G57 rifles, carbnes and shotguns have
been manufactured at the national ar
mory.
INTEREST IN RIFLE FIRING.
The great interest taken by the army in
rifle firing has led to an increased demand
for the different materials requisite for
practice, and the department has fortu-
nately been able to furnish liberal supplies
so that the rife ranges at the different
posts are now better equipped than at any
previous time. Respecting the militia,
the report says: ut is hardly necessary
to do more than refer in cursOry way to
the great need OF larger appropriations
for farming and equipping the whole body
OF the militia or even reasonable frac-
tiOn of it,"
AN INCREASE NECESSARY.
If the general government intends keep
ing the militia up to the highest practica-
bic standard as the main armed force of
the country. then the amount deemed suf-
fcient in 1908 must be greatly increased.
Ii this most important duty is to be per-
formed by the individual States, then the
fact should be decided and proclaimed
that the responsibility may rest upon the
proper shoulders. one thing is certain,
that more uniform and liberal methods
and direct responsibility should be re-
sorted to to place on an efficient footing
the militia and volunteer organizations Of
all the States.
DESERTION DECREASED.
The annual report of Adjt. Gen. Drum
says that the number of desertiOns from
the army during the past year has sensi-
bly, decreased, being 745 less than the
number stated in his last report. A large
number of men have offered them
selves for enlistment during the year and
recruiting officers have been instructed to
select only the best. OF the :, 164 accepted
recruits 4,222 were native born, 2,942 Of
foreign birth, and 6,5S7 were white and
577 colOred.
