IMPORTANT MEASURE.
Congress Likely to Enact One tc Pro-
mote Military Practice.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 7.-Important
legislation designed to promote practice
with the military rifle may be enacted
by Congress this winter. The army and
National Guard have been equipped
with the New Springfield but the ex-
pense of obtaining these weapons from
the government has restricted practice
among civilians. Some hundred of
thousands of Krags have been retired
however. and if available for issue
would doubtless be an incentive to
civilians to practice. Rep. Hull. of
Iowa, chairman of the House Commit
tee on Military Affairs, has therefore
introduced bill on the subject which
has the approval of the War Depart
ment as represented by the Secretary
of War, Assistant Secretary of War,
| oliver. Chief of Staff and Chief of
Ordnance. as we'll as of the National
| Board for the Promotion of Rifle Prac-
| tice and the National Rifle Association
of America. The bill provides that the
Secretary of War is authorized to is
| sue, without expense to the United
States. magazine rifles and appendages,
not of the existing service model.
These are to be issued to rifle clubs
| organized under the rules of the Ma
| tiOral Board for Promotion of Rifle
| Practice. and to schools having uni
| formed corps of cadets. The Secretary
of War is authorized to prescribe reg
ulations to safeguard the United States
| against loss and for the proper care
of the arms. Should the bill become
a law the limit of issue would probably
be fixed at about one rifle to each ten
members of a club in good standing
| A second section of the bill provides
for the promotion of rifle practice in
schools. colleges. universities and civ
ilian clubs by supplying certain am
munition. prizes, the holding of
matches, and in other directions for
which the sum of 100000 is appropri-
lated.
| Up to the present time this country
has done nothing for it's civilian rifle
clubs. which are comparatively few in
number, while in England it is csti-
mated there are nearly 5000 with a
membership of possibly half a million
men and boys. The work with the CIV
ilian clubs is designed to reach the
'unorganized militia which would
constitute the bulk of our volunteer
armies in case of war. On this sub
| ject Gen. Bell. the chief of staff, re-
| Gently said: THE encouragement OF
rifle practice among our citizens and
schoolboys is of the greatest impor-
| tance in this country, where prepared
ness for war is largely based on the
employment of an army of volunteers;
and wisely framed laws which will give
a healthy stimulus to this branch OF
military preparedness would receive the
hearty support of the War Depart
