sufficiently large. This method gives
teams a chance to capture prizes and
gives the State certain standing, yet
| it tends to injure in a way the Ma
tional Guard. Maine does not believe
| in this way of spending money for Its
citizen soldiery. We want to get as
many as possible to know how to shoot
because the more men we can have
that do know the better. If we could
get whole company to be marksmen
that would be better than having one
or two experts in the company. The
best instructors in military matters in
the world say teach the soldier how
to shoot 1t gives him a chance to
learn self control and care and teaches
him how to judge hastily and yet cor
rectly and also does him deal of good
in the Guard.
Work is now going on at the range
in Auburn and the idea is to have a
range in every city or town in the
State where a National Guard COM
pany is located and to have good ones.
All of this work cannot be done in a
hurry. We are issuing 5000 rounds of
Springfield ammunition year, costing
the State a little over $32 thousand
rounds, to each company and when
company has used the amount and
turns in the score cards for the same
enough ammunition is allowed to COM
plete the qualification of the company.
That is each man can shoot from fi3
to 81 worth year. He is instructed
how to shoot by the company officers.
The Springfield rife, which costs 800
comriete is used and every one admits
that is is the hest rife owned by any
country in the worli.''
The I'd Regiment Infantry will
shoot it's company matches at the an
nual encampment, which will be held
Aug. PIP at the State camp ground in
this city. The range will also be open
for member of companies and those not
having distances on their home ranges
will be allowed to qualify on the State
range. No shooting will be allowed
during The camp in the forenoon as it
would interfere with the drills.
The 1st Regiment Infantry will
hold it's company matches on the range
at Auburn early in September and the
inter-regimental match will also be
shot at that time.
