Report of Committee

The report OF n committees, III
part, follows;
Thu National Guard may be called
into service in the event Of invasion
of the United States, or rebellion.
The National Guard of each state IS
a part of the organized land forces
of the United States, under the i'm
mediate control and discipline of the
state government, except when called
into service by the federal govern
ment.
It has been proposedthat an infantry
company be organized in Mexico.
Such a company is, under the orders
of the President, required to be COM
posed of not less than sixty-five en-
listed men and three officers. Such a
company consists of one captain, n
first lieutenant,one first sergeant,one
quartermaster sergeant, four SER
geants, six c~orporals, two cooks, two
musicians, and forty-nine privates.
This is the minimum strength allow
ed.
The equipment of the officers is re-
quired to be furnished at their own
expenses; that of the enlisted men
is furnished by the state.
The instructions and exercises re-
CURED are two hours once a week, q
ten day period at a camp of instruc-
ton in the summer, and rife practice
according to a prescribed course each
year. There is also an annual inspec-
ton for the United States War De-
partnent once each year. by an Off
Ger of the regular army.
officers and enlisted men are re-
quircd TO conform to the discipline
as imposed by the laws Of the state,
Officers and enlisted men may be
punished for disobedience to orders,
violation of laws, rules or regulations,
unmilitary conduct, absence from drill
and camp without leave, etc, by dis
charge from the service,and a fine not
to exceed 500.
The period of enlistment is for
three years, the consent Of parents
and guardian being required in the
case of minors.
No organization will be created by
the state unless in the opinion of the
Adjutant General, such organization
will conform to the requirements of
the State and federal governments,
nor maintain in service unless its eff
f~iciency is kept up to the requisite
standard. Although possibly the re-
quisite number of enlistments could
be secured, that is not alone sufici-
ent. 1t is absolutely necessary that
a company be composed of sixty-fve
men who will attend all drills and ex-
e%rcises, and diligently apply them
selves.
Also it is of just as much import
ance that the community give their
moral support to a National Guarl
company. The enlisted mar who can
not attend the camps of instruction
is useless from a military standpoint,
and if his employer will not allow
him ten days in the year for this pur-
pose, then the organization of a
company would be useless. Further
more, as rifle practice on a range a
only be had in the day time, it would
be necessary that each man be allow
ed several afternoons during the year,
to fire on the rife range.
The matters of quarters is Of great
Importance, because besides the mil
itary side of the organization, there
is a social and athletic side. The
have in view that in event
of the organization Of such a com
pany, excellent quarters could be OBJ
tanned in the armory now being con-
structed by Missouri Military Aca-
deny.

That the Halloween and install latioa dance to be given by the members of Camp Skagway No. 1, Arctic Brotherhood, in their hall tonight will prove a long to be remembered occasion by those who have the good fortune to be able to participate, is a foregone cOnclu- sion, for every effort has been made by those having the affair in charge 10 arrange things for the comfort and pleasure of their expected guests
 The hall has been beautifully de- 2orated, good music engaged and a bouutiful lunch of things that will appeal to the taste of the epicure provided.
 This dance, while it will prob ably be a great social success, has greater significance than that to the members of the order for it will be in reality somewhat of an epoch in the history of the local subordinate camp, and will be the occasion of the final welding to- gether Of the almost broken link in the chain of fraternity that at one time threatened to disrupt the or ganization throughout the entire territory.
