New Officers to Be Named.
General Thrift says in the order he
issued yesterday morning:
Regimental commanders VIII make
their recommendations for the APP
pointment Of the following officers to
complete their staff for each regiment:
Onn ma iOr surgeon
Two assistant surgeons.
One quartermaster commissary Off
Ger for each battalion, and one officer
detailed to serve as regimenta inspec-
tor of small arms practice, and FIJI
such other vacancies in the commits
stoned staff as now exist. They shall
also appoint by warrant six orderlies,
and cause their major surgeons to
make the required enlistments in the
hospital corps. The service requires
that these appointments be made at
once.
A committee of the guard will meet
to select the design for service badges
authorized by the new military code.
The increase in armory rent and the
allowance FIR regimental and company
headquarters will not be distributed
until December 81.
Reglmental rifle ranges s provided
by the revised military code cannot be
constructed until sufficient funds are
available therefor. Companies will be
allowed an annual allowance after
July /, 1908, for the construction,
maintenance and rental or rifle ranges
not to exceed the sum of $4,000 and
paid annually on itemized vouchers,
accompanying the report of small arms
practice for each year, and the full
amount of 500 per annum Will be paid
when sufficient funds are available.
Should the bill now pending before
the congress- of the United States, in
creasing the national guard appropria-
ton from $l.OO0,000 to $2,000,000 annu-
ally and making the same available for
the purchase, rental, construction and
maintenance of rifle ranges for the or
ganized militia Of the states, become q
law, we will then have ample funds to
carry out the provisions of the military
code of Iowa, in relation to rifle ranges.
RegimentaI Marches.
1T it probable that the Fifty sixth
regiment will be assigned to Fort Riley
for the regular army maneuvers this
year. The other regiments will have
practice marches instead OF camps, as
follows:

Maauoketa, to Dubuque. June 20 to
