SUMMER SCHEDULE
OF NATIONAL GUARD
Will Run from June LIST to the End of
July.

In ten days the Connecticut Ma
tional guard will begin it's series of
summer camps and at intervals during
the next two months the several
branches of the service will go to
yarious points to receive instruction in
inanoeuvres and combat exercises I'M
Ill the first week in August. The prin-
cipal feature of the summer will be the
six weeks school of muslzetry at East
Haven in place of the camp at Mantle
for enlisted men. The war depart
ment officials and those of the Con-
necticut National guard were in ac-
cord in the view that the men of the
organized militia were in need of thor
oughgotng instruction in the use and
care of the modern army rifle, such in
struction as was not available during
the winter drill season, and such as
they would not be likely to obtain at
a camp where much of the time was
spent in manoeuvres, drill and other
of the use of the rife and frequent
target practice. The Connecticut or
CARNATIONS will follow this schedule:
