Major w. S. Millar, inspector of the
Third brigade, National Guard of
Pennsylvania, has arranged and sub
mitted his schedule for the inspection
dates of the several companies of the
Seventh and Eleventh regiments of the
above brigade. His first inspection
viii occur on April II, and the Seventh
regiment will be the first to be in
spected Lieutenant Harry l.. Rise,
of Lebanon, will act as orderly.
Two very important and entirely new
features will have to be considered in
this years inspection. Many men must
be dropped as there are at present
two guards; being the original guard
and the provisional guard. out Of
these it seems to be the intention to
form one, that being the limit of the
state. In connection with this fact, the
men who were in the "old guard" and
volunteered into the United States SER
vice were mustered out and have re-
formed into the original guard and are
to be inspected. The Fourth, Ninth
and Twelfth regiments are thus af-
| fected.
WILL TELL THE STORY.
The other important feature in con-
| nection with the inspection is that the
| inspecting officer must submit a writ
| ten report in full of every company's
| condition. as called for in the service,
| and offer recommendations This is
| the first time that this has ever been
| done and tells the story, or will tell,
| of the future national guard service in
| the Keystone state.

will be very critically examined in every
