NATIONAL GUARD NEWS.

Adjutant General William Verbeck has
made an important move in the interest Of
the national guard by arranging to have
thirtysiX officers sent to ST. Louis this
fall as delegates to the annual convention
of the National Guard Association of the
United States, the full quota allowed New
York by the rules of the association which
exercises great influence in shaping recon-
mendations to the War Department for the
benefit of the national guard. Last year
New York was represented by only two
officers, and consequently had little voice
in the proceedings General Verbeck, with
the approval of the Governor, will select
the thirty-six delegates from the senior
officers of the guard who have ripe ex-
perience in military matters.
