also mentioned as having evidently profited
by skirmish drill at their homes.
While on this subject Colonel Wagner
stated that il was desirable that the Nation
al Guardsmen supplement their work at
their armories by short excursions to the
country near by for drill in extended order,
especial emphasis being laid on the desira-
bility of practicing the work of the advance
guard, rear guard, outpost and the manual
of regular guard duty. Colonel Wagner
also stated that increased attention should
be given to target practice and fire con-
trol'-that is, in having the firing instantly
responsive to the commands OF the ofncers
when calling for volleys, cease firing, etc,
and also economy Of ammunition and the
avoidance OF useless burning Of powder.
Next to extended order drill, Colonel
Wagner laid emphasis on the need of study
by the guardsmen, both officers and men,
in pitching a sanitary camp. With the proper
attention given this matter, not only at the
maneuvers, but between whiles, Colonel
Wagner said that in short time the Ma
tionaI Guard would be able to take care of
itself, so that there would never again be
camps like Camp Alger and Chickamauga.
covered by illustration and by lectures to
National Guard officers during the maneu-
vers. Colonel Wagner said that while COM
PARSONS were, of course, impossible, 1t was
orly just TO state that the First Wisconsin
had maintained camp he-e in almost per-
feet sanitary condition.
In conclusion he said: with these ma
neuvers being held every year in various
parts Of the country, so as to give all the
National Guard regiments opportunity for
this sort of instruction, I have no hista-
tion in stating that in a short time the Ma
tional Guard of the United States will be
put in a state of efficiency and readiness
for practical warfare which 1t has never
before attained and which will put it on a
plane with the best reserves of foreign
armies. AS far as Camp Young is con-
cerned I cannot see any objection OF i'm
portance TO its use as a permanent reserva-
tion for maneuvers. The area could be in
creased to advantage. The purchase of the
tract by act of Congress would necessitate
the establishment of a permanent military
post of sufficient size to provide for the
keeping Of the ground in order"
Ten of the umpires left to-day for the
opening of the maneuvers at Fort Riley,
Kan. General Bates will leave Wednesday.
Colonel Wagner, the chief umpire, and the
two senior umpires, Colonel Dorst and Col.
Treat, will remain until Thursday next,
when they will go to Fort Riley, arriving In
time for the main maneuvers.

Col. Arthur Wagner on Results of
the MaueuVers.

CAMP YOUNG, WEST POINT, KY, Oct.
10-After ten days of vigorous hiking
and hot work on the firing line, the ma
tional guardsmen who have been engaged
in the combined maneuvers, receiving in
struction with regulars in battle forma-
tions. started for home to-day. The regu-
lars will remain until Oct. 16 and will be
engaged in a series of three interesting ma
neuvers next week.
Col Arthur Wagner, one Of the best
known modern writer's on military tactics
and chief umpire during the maneuvers, to-
day indicated in a general way the results
of the maneuvers. Colonel Wagner. whose
views have been substantially concurred in
by General Bates and the other military ex-
perts present, stated that the combined
maneuvers just closed have been of great
value TO the National Guard regiments par
ticipating and the increase in efficiency Is
more than sufficient TO justify the expense
incurred by the government The line and
staff officers and the enlisted men had
shown a most praiseworthy eagerness to
profit by the instruction offered by the ex-
perts and the example of the regulars on
the firing line.
The chief points brought out by the man
euverss according to Colonel Wagner, is the
necessity for the National Guard regiments
10 give greater attention TO skirmish and
extended order drill while they are at their
home stations. They should become thor
oughly versed in company and battalion
drill before taking part In thesS maneuvers
The maneuvers come within she realm of
tactics and drill bears the same relation
10 these that arithmetic does TO higher
mathematics"
The Indiana troops, according TO Colonel
Wagner. showed by their work on the firing
line that they had probably had the adj
vantage OF more comprehensive instruction
In skirmish and open order drill than the
average National Guard oganization. The
Eighth Ohio and the First Wisconsin were
