ley Said of Militia.

Guthrie. O. r. Nov 9-Governor Fer
guson today received from the war de-
partment, at Washington, a copy Of the
report of Major Ripley, the regular army
officer. who was sent to this city to re-
view and inspect the recent encampment
of the Oklahoma National Guards. held
here the week beginning October 10.
The report has both criticism and COM
mendation. Camp Logan, where the en-
campment was held. was condemned as
unsanitary, and a protest made against
the use of the grounds in the future.
The reports recommends the formation
Of three batallions, and commends the
work of the hospital corps, at Woodward
as being well drilled and attentive to duty.
In regard to the military bands. Major
Ripley recommends that these organiza-
forming seperate bodies, and that the
commissioned officers be not allowed to
play any music in the bands.
Another recommendation was against
the feature Of allowing cities to offer
prize money for the encampments. and
says that these annual meetings Of the
guards should be held outside of towns
ana cities, and at such places where the
work would be under the view and cri-
ticism Of regular officers and soldiers.
The report finished with an adverse cri-
ticism on the manner that inspections
have been conducted. but says that the
personnel of oklahoma S fighting force is
on par with that of other states.
