GUARD
VERY FAVORABLY
REPORTED upon
Report of Annual Inspection
Made Last March for War
Dept. Shows Progress

That the National Guard of Hawaii
is well up to the required standard Of
the War Department. and that its per
sonnel and equipment is satisfactory
is shown by the report of the annual
inspection made last March by Mai.
Michael J. Lenihan, I'd Infantry, which
has been sent to Col. j. w. Jones, The
Adjutant General, by the Division of
Militia Affairs.
This inspection was made strictly
on regular army basis, said Col.
Jones. The National Guard of Ha-
waii was marked just as any organiza-
ton in the regular service would have
been marked, that being the only fair
way to get definite data,
In the light of the above statements,
the comments of the Division of Mill
tia Affairs are very gratifying to local
guardsmen in several instances.
Under the head of 1st Infantry, N.
G. H., the communication from the d.
vision reads:
The enlisted personnel is efficient
and satisfactory in every respect.
The matter OF armories, physical
examination of men. and records OF
attendance are satisfactory, but in.
struction in the use of the rifle Is
rated as poor. This last may be ac-
counted for in part by inadequate
range facilities, both for the Honolulu
companies and for the two companies
on Maui. Plans are now on foot to
provide suitable range for the guard,
where instruction may be more thor
ough and systematic.
Armories of and L companies at
Waikiki and Lahaina respectively are
given as inadequate and unsatisfac-
tory.
It is stated in the report that the
lst Infantry, N. G. H.. conforms IN
every way to the organization pre-
scribed for the regular army. The
system of property accountability for
the entire guard is rated as satisfac-
tory.
OF special interest to national guard
officers is the information that under

seacoast gunners, and from now until
July %, when target practise comes to
an end, there will be something doing
all the while.
At present the coast defenses of
Oahu are in the midst of what is
known as the war condition period.
For 10 days the batteries are supposed
to be ready for action at a moments S
notice. The men go under canvas
right at the guns, or sleep in the bat
teries when accommodations are pro-
vided. At some of the Oahu posts,
where the barracks are within a few
rods of the batteries, these regulations
are modified and the men remain in
their regular quarters, although sub
ject to call at any and all times.

tise for the last few years. and ii is
confidently expected that the high
standard will be maintained.
