PLEASED WITH THE LAW.
The Last Legislature Did Well by the
National Guard.

Adjutant General Ward expressed him
self yesterday, in response to an inquiry,
as being highly pleased with the provisions
OF the National Guard reorganization law
passed by the recent Legislature. He is
particularly taken with the provision al
lowing compensation at the rate of from
81 to sl.3O day for rifle practice. the sti-
pend of 81 being for privates and $3.50 for
captains. Three days In each year, to he
designated by the company commander, are
to be devoted 10 rifle practice on the
range"
"A number of companies have already
provided themselves with rifle ranges"
said General Ward, as prescribed by the
law. and have made requisition for am
rIuntion with which 10 carry on the prac-
tice. lii has been deemed advisable how
ever, not TO issue any ammunition until
the companies have been thoroughly
trained in position and sighting drills and
in gallery practice. IL is thought that to
issue ammunition for range practice be-
fore this training has been acquired would
be a waste of ammunition. However, We
expect that the companies will soon ac-
quire a sufficient degree of proficiency to
ertitle them TO commence range work"
