THERE ARE NO FUNDS FOR FOUR
MORE BATTERIES THAT
THE COMPLEMENT
REQUIRES.
MUST BE FINANCED LOCALLY
The University of Michigan Corps
Can Be Taken in II An Armory
Is Furnished For the
Purpose.

Lansing.-The Michigan National
Guards needs four more batteries of
artillery, needs them badly TO make
the complement suggested by the
United States war department but
the state has no money with which to
maintain them. and consequently all
batteries that are now supposed to
! be in process of organization, in the
state, independent of the National
Guard, will have to arrange for their
own expenses.
This in substance is the answer of
the state military officers to reports
that have been circulated regarding
| the formation of new batteries of ar
| tillery, particularly at the University
of Michigan. One report had it that
Battery b, of Lansing, had been
ordered disbanded by the war depart
ment officials and the equipment
transferred to the university.
I'VE need four more batteries Of
artillery, says Adjutant- General John
S. Bersey. But the state military
fund has not the money to maintain
them. A battery Of artillery costs
about $1,000 year and the state fund
is now being used right up to the
limit. Until we can get more money.
either through an appropriation from
the legislature or through action by
congress, there is no use OF our talk
ing OF forming any more batteries.
But where the people of a city
finance the deal themselves and fur
nish a battery that will stand the
governments inspection we can take
It into the National Guard. We can
do nothing for them unless the bat
terry is financed Independently"
Ann Arbor-Professor Hobbs, says
only the consent Of the Regents of the
University and an armOry is neces-
sary to form a battery at that insti-
tuition. He quotes Brigadier General
A. L. Mills, U. S. A, who wrote the
professor: ut is essential that bat
terry at the University of Michigan
should be Incorporated in the state
forces prior TO reorganization by the
federal government. 1t is also essen
tial that a suitable building should
be provided as an armory for the safe
guarding of the material and for the
instruction OF the personnel This
appears TO be the principal item OF
expense to states and the real reason
why their quota Of field artillery has
not been furnished. II the university
gould provide q building for this pur-
pose, It is probable that the state
would be willing to accept the bat
terry. The essential objects TO be at
tanned are the provision of armory
facilities and the recognition by the
university OF the value of military
training in the curriculum. If you can
secure these provisions from the uni
versity there should be no difficulty
IN having the state accept the battery
and in having the federal government
supply it with equipment and other
authorized allowances"
