News Notes of the National Guard

Just what will be done relative TO future
rife practice for the New York National
Guard at Blauvelt, which has been dis
continued for the present, owing 10 stray
bullets falling into the town at South
Nyack, will probably be known during the
present week board Of officers, COM
posed Of Colonel Daniel Appleton, eth Regi-
ment; Lieutenant Colonel n. b. Thurston,
chief ordnance officer; Lieutenant Colonel
Z. w. Van c. Lucas chief engineer; Major
B. H. Pendry. coast artillery corps, and
Captain l.. c. Andrews {. S. A, on duty
with the guard, has been appointed to in
vestigate the complaints and report what
can be done 10 make the practice abso-
iutely safe. The board has found that
bullets from the range dropped into the
town Of South Nyack and endangered the
lives Of the residents. 1t has had topo-
graphical survey made of the rifle range
and has been busy obtaining the traJec-
tory and elevation Of the rife at each
range when loaded with the regulation
charge. II the board reports that the
shooting can be safely conducted with
reduced charge Of powder the shooting will
De resumed. If not, there Will be no more
practice as Major General Organ is de-
ermined that no lives shall be endangered
under any circumstances. II is believed,
however, that the reduced charge will
make. the shooting perfectly safe. although
absence Of a service charge will rob the
shooting Of real practical instruction.
Organizations which have refrained from
building range houses at Blauvelt at their
own expense are now congratulating them
selves. There IS Of course possibility tnat
eventually this costly $4,000 range which
stu incomplete. will have TO be aban-
ooned and a range established elsewhere.
Is pointed out that II the state pur-
chased enough ground In the rear OF the
oio Creedmoor range it could be made per-
iec'iy safe and could be developed into the
pest range In the country. The state still
owns the old ground.
