Enforcing Discipline.
Quietly, but effectively. is the rather
subs tantal figure of military justice STIR
ring things up in some of the commands
that are Quartered In the Center Market
Armory. In defiance of regulations and
decency some of the soldiers converted
several of the squad rooms into miniature
gambling houses and kept up their i'm
proper proceedings until late hours at
nights. and through the greater portion
of Sundays. The conspirators worked very
quietly or they would have been discov-
cred long ago. but dodge as they would,
fate could not be sideTacked, and 1t ar
rived at last in the form of Col. Clay, who,
having good reason for being suspicious,
made tour of inspection and discovery
Courts martial followed, of course and 9TH
ers to come. The shaking-up is a good thing
for the general health Of the brigade and
will teach a wholesome lesson to those who
have not yet opened their minds wide
enough to find out what the District Ma
tional Guard is for. None Of the court pro-
ceedings have as yet reached brigade head
quarters, details for publication are not
available. but it is already apparent that
the guilty VIII not escape.
New Patterns for Infantry Packs.
Trials are being made. both in Prussia
and Bavaria, with several new patterns
of infantry packs. The main peculiarities
Of these models are that the body of the
knapsack is made lighter by the abolition
Of the wooden frame work, and the adop-
ton of aluminium for all the metallic parts
such as buckles.
The pack is divided into two main parts,
so arranged that the lower portion, which
contains the heavier and less necessary
portion Of the mans effects. can be quickly
detached, leaving only the upper part
(termej the "sturmsack" or salt bag) which
contains the reserve rations This separa-
ton of the indispensable portions of the
kit from the heavier and less frequently
required part is made with the view Of en-
abling the men to reduce their load to the
minimum at the moment of making the
| assault, while even il they temporarily
lose part of their kit they will still have
their three days ratons and aluminium
water bottle with them. The cartridge
pouches in the Bavarian pattern have been
rearranged. each of the two in front con-
tanning forty-five rounds in place Of thirty
and the rear pouch holding sixty in place
of ninety, so that the total number of
rounds remains $50, as before.
