MILITARY BOARD TO MEET
VIII Accept Rifle Range aud Apportiou
State Niilftiu Funds

Many important matters will come
before the State Military Board at a.
meeting to be held in the Governors
office at o'clock tomorrow evening.
This will be the first meeting in
months, and routine business has &C
cumulated. In addition, IT Is expected
that final settlement Will be reached
OF the many technical points involved
In the acquisition by the State of the
rifle range and camp ground near Vir-
ginia Beach.
The apportionment of military
funds among the troops is to be made
and will require careful consideration.
This is true because Colonel Stern in
snected some of the commands in
camp and Others at the armories.
which gave the latter large advan-
tage in the showing of men present.
1t is possible that all amounts will
be allowed on the basis OF men pres
ent for camp duty. and the per capita
correspondinEly increased. This would
reward those companies which were
the most successful in getting the men
in the field.
