necessary.
The proposed armament of the M
tional Guard with the Krag-Jorgen.
sen rifle, such as is used by U. S. reg
ulars, has aroused much discussion
among local militiamen. Although
the Krag has a longer range, requires
ighterammunition and uses smokeless
powder, IL is much more complicated
arm and Is regarded by many as un-
practical for use by militiamen, who
are notoriously rough users of rifle.
The Springfield service rifle now In use
Is noted for Its simplicity Of construc.
tlon and indestructibility and for that
reason has been considered tho best
possible arm for the National Guard,
although the unfortunate experience
OF the Second Massachusetts, at El
Caney In '0S proved the Springfield
to be a back number In actual warfare
where smokeless powder Is In active
use. 1t was found necessary there
to take the regiment out of the field.
Otherwise they would have been an.
initiated, the clouds Of smoke from
the old Springfield's making an excel.
lent target for the besleged Spaniards.
On the other hand the Krag.Jorgen.
sen requires constant attention and
careful use to keep It effective. Once
1t becomes rusty cartridges jam In the
magazine, the ejector falls to work
and the gun is rendered useless. To
clean them 1t Is necessary to take the
Intricate mechanism apart, which re-
quires n more thorough knokledge of
the gun than the average guardsman
will ever acquire. Springfield re.
des were used In Cuba for tent props,
were half hurled In the mud and alled
with water and with little cleanin,;
and oiling, were as good as ever.
Krags subjected to the same treatment
could never be used again. At the
yearly camps of the National Guard
the guns are handled carelessly in spite
Of the closest watching and the project
OF armIng with the Krag instead Is
regarded by many as an expensive
experiment
