MORE MACHINE GUNS
FOR OAHU GARRISON
One Quick Firer To Be Issued To
Each Company On Duty
/. In Island ".

What is probably the most important
innovation in the infantry service since
1906, IL prescribed in general orders
No. rs, Hawaiian Department, dated
October IS. This order provides that
one Vickers. Maxim machine gun be is
sued, at once, to every infantry COM
pany in the department. $50.
This means that forty-eight Of these
deadly, quick firing weapons are to be
placed in active commission. The OF.
der prescribes that in each regiment
twelve sergeants be detailed to in.
struct the company squads in the
handling of these guns; and that each
company shall detail a corporal and
six privates as a gun crew. Three hun,
dred and eightyfour men in the de
partment to fight with the class of
weapon that is proving so effective in
Europe, adds greatly to the develop,
ment of an efficient fighting machine
for the protection of the Island of
Oahu. aar
The regiments are especially pre-.
pared for furnishing the instructors for
this New work, thanks to the musketry
school at Schofeld Barracks, which has
just graduated a large class of ser
geants for this type of instruction.
Major Eames, the cOmmandant of tn,
school, devoted the major portion OF
the session to training in handling
machine guns; and the students taking
the course received considerable actual
practise in firing. "
The department order states that il
is not the intention to form an addi
tional machine gun company in eacf
regiment, and that the twelve company
gun crews will be united only occa
sionally, for combined practise, -
The plan is that in action the foul
guns of each battalion shall be carried
in q wagon or truck, which also haul
extra ammunition for the guns, anC
that this wagon or truck be attached
to the combat train of the battalion
and follow the battalion into action
The men composing the gun crews viii
carry their usual company equipment
and arms, and accompany their Ogan
izatiOns, unless detached for tn,
service of the machine guns.
