THE NATIONAL GUARD RIFLE.
Question of Substituting Krag for Spring
field Not Yet Decided.
fhY rELlGRApH no rHE rRIRI.NE.

fly TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNE
Washington, Feb. 2S-The question of substitut-
ing the Krag-Jorgensen for the Springfield rife
in the New-York National Guard. discussed by
Major General Roe at his recent conference at the
War Department. still remains unsettled, although
the general impression is that the local militia will
not insist retaining the OLE Springfield The
position of the National Guard. as 1t is understood
at the War Department, is that they prefer TO re-
tain their present obsolete rifles until enough of the
Springfield rifles. which will be adopted by
the regular army presently arc completed to sup
ply that style of weapon to them. The War De-
partrnent on the other hand. believes that in view
of the fact that several years must ela2se before
the new arm can be EuppHed to the militia. the
State organizations shoIld take krag guns and
later change to the newer weapon.
Despite the identity in name. there is no resem-
bance between the new Springfield and the old
rife now used by the National Guard On the con-
trary, the gun closely resembles the krag
Like that weapon, 1t is a magazine rifle 1t has a
fiat trajectory and it is bolt gun. Ordnance
officers agree that the familiarity with the krag
would be of great value in handling the new gun,
the essential difference being that the newer model
clip for its ammunition, a feature borrowed
from the Mauser rife On the other hand the
knowledge of the Springfield would not assist the
soldier in mastering the new gun. AS no am
munition is manufactured by the government for
the old Springfield and as there is no facility for
the manufacture Of SUCH ammunition. a war now
would compel the change at once to the Krag, of
which there is supply sufficient to equip the
100, 600 militia of the country.
Another important circumstance about the Krag
is that FOR a few years to come it would be neces-
sary to equip a portion of any army raised for
a struggle with the gun now used by the regular
army. General Crozer, chief or odrnance. said to-
day that in the first year after the gun was
adopted he could manufacture about rs guns
day. and in the. second year he could turn ont ont
100 900 soldiers of the regular army, and then the
equal number of the National Guard of the various
he
years Then it would be necessary to manufactuTTe
guns to supply the much larger army that would
be called out from civil life in case of war.
Therefore. for a certain number of years the Krag
is likely to be used. It is a far superior weapon
to the Springfield. and TO: these reasons as wen
as for the fact that il would prove good training
for the use Of the new guns, the changes being so
irnmaterial the opinion is freely expressed here
that the National Guard of New-York will make
mistake in refusing to accept the krags WHICH
can be sHpRea a1 exsned n@ today 1T is
question of the better gun. and I should think tho
National Guard of NeW-York would want to have
the best rifle available at all times
