GEN ERAl ELLIOTT
Desires Officers to Take Advantage Of
School Of instruction.

Adiutnpt General Elliott has writ
ten a letter addressed to the various
officers of the National Guard, call
ing their attention to the schools
which are being held each week at
the various military posts in the
state for instruction in tactics.
In the communication General FL
lott calls attention to the fact that
the federal pay bill will be intro
duced at the special session of Con-
gress which commenced Tuesday
and suggests that they use their in
fiuence in support of it, as it means
great benefit to the National Guard
and will greatly improve the guards
efficiency by its strict provisions.
This bill provides that the officers
of the National Guard on the active
list receive 20 per cent pay, but it
also provides that before this pay
can be received that the officers
must pass an examination practically
as rigid as that required for q com
mission il the regular army, and in
the letter General Elliott suggests
that the schools which are being
held present an opportunity for the
subject study of military tactics,
which knowledge would be essential
in cnse the pay bill passes.
