for More State Anm0Hes

under the command of Captain L. B.
Jacobs, Company r, 1st Infantry, was
organized by your direction for par
ticipation in coast defense exercises
with troops of the regular army at
Fort DUPONT. This company proceed
ed TO Fort DUPONT on the morning Of
July 80. and were much benefited by
the instruction received at that Post.
Under General Orders No. 4, War
Department, dated January 18th, 1910.
a camp of instruction for officers was
held at the State Range June to 9,
1910. inclusive. The following officers
of the regular army were present as
instructors: Major Henry ID. Styer,
Captain Hunter B. Nelson and First
Lieutenants Robert s. Knox and
Townsend Whelen. Captain NJ G..
Kerth, Assistant to the Chief of the
Division of Militia Affairs, was also
present as an observer. This camp was
a decided success and the officers are
to be commended for the interest
taken and knowledge gained thereby.
With a view to holding these camps
annually a correspondence school for
officers has been established for pre-
liminary instruction, under the super
vision of Lieutenant Colonel II. c.
Cavanaugh, U. s. A., on duty with the
militia Of this State.
SMALL-Arms Practice.
The result of the small-arms firing
during the past year has not been sat
isfactory, but with the increased fa-
cilities which have been provided for
target practice much improvement
should be made next year. Attention
is invited to the report of Major Will
liam G. Ramsay, Chief of Ordinance
and Inspector of Rife Practice.
ArmOries.
The armories throughout this State
are inadequate both for drill and stor-
age purposes. IL is conceded that in
order to give the militia the training
necessary to make it dependable or
ganization under all circumstances,
suitable armories should be provided.
| would therefore respectfully renew
my recommendation that the State
Armory Commission be furnished with
funds with which to build one or more
modern armories each year until all Of
the companies have been provided for.
This plan of State ownership OF arm
ories is being carried into effect in
many Of the States and under It the
State would always have a real estate
asset Tor the money expended.
Attention is invited to the financial
statements of The Adiutant General
for 1909 and 1910 and the several re-
ports appended hereto.
While the organization has not i'm
creased in number during the past
two years il has improved in efficiency
and dependability. The fact that your
Excellency has been present at the
camps of instruction and taken an ac-
tive interest in all the details in con-
nection with the militia has acted as
a stimulus TO both officers and men.
In conclusion, permit me to thank
you for the many courtesies you have
extended TO me.
Very respectfully,
l. p. W1CKERSHAM,
The Adiutant-General, Chief Of STAFF.
