said Col. John J. Dooley of Portland
chief of ordnance of the National
Guard, Saturday. I'VE have tried TO
pick out in each city or town where
company of the Guard is located a
man to act as the instructor This
idea is believed to be "a good ono
when one realizes that the average
boy or young man when he joins the
National Guard has never fired a
high power rifle. And furthermore. It
Is not always convenient for the cap
tam or other officers of company TO
be on the range to instruct the re-
cruits in the art of shooting Because
Of the instructors the companies will
get higher qualification on lower
expenditure of ammunition. that is,
the man will make every shot count.
'The war department today calls
shooting by far the most important
part of the soldiers training" con-
tinued Col DoOley, "A well-known
army officer said short time ago
that he could whip a regiment into
line in quick time as far as drilling
went but it was different PROPOSE
ton as far as the shooting end is con
cerned. a man who is a good shot is
a cool star and he must have absolute
control of his nerves. Shooting is the
cleanest sport in the world. When
man is shooting he must concentrate
his mind on one thing. His brain, eye
and muscles work in unison which
gives him control of himself"
An innovation win be the school of
instruction for the rihemen of the Ma
tional Guard. including the members
of the Coast Artillery Corps. the Sec
ond Infantry and the Naval Reserves,
which will be held at Brunswick from
July to II inclusive. on this occa-
sion IL men and three alternates will
be selected to represent the State of
Maine at the annual tournament of
the New England Rifle Association
which will be held at the Bay State
range at Wakefield. Mass. July 11-16
inclusive. The military authorities are
very anxious to send a good team
this wear to the Wakefield shoot as il
is believed that the boys can carry
off first prize this wear. Teams from
all the New England states compete
at this tournament and Maine is
beaten only by Massachusetts which
is saying quite good deal for Il state
with such Il small military organiza
ton as Maine. Last year the Maine

the Massachusetts team in the New
England shoot.
Maine will not enter team IN the
national matches at Camp Perry.
Ohio. this year. owing to the fact
that at the time of the matches the
Second Infantry will be in camp at
Pine Plains. 1t is believed that the
tour of duty at Pine Plains will be q
most instructive one for the regiment.
which has not participated in move
ment of this kind since it went t"
Manassas Va. six years ago. and
1t is thought for the best interests
Of the Guard that every member of the
regiment should stay at Pine Plains
If possible.
The ranges in Maine are now IN ex-
cellent condition and during the past
year new ranges have been punt al
