 essary appropriations. No allotments from federal funds will be made by l the war department for camps for field artillery during the current cal
 endar year. Should such appropria-
 tionS be made at the present session of 1 congress for the training of field ar tillery, they will be reserved in order
 to insure the attendance of batteries

 talion in commenting upon the news
 received from Washington, said: This

 made, the Yale Batteries should at tain a much higher Federal rating 1 than would have been possible had 1 they attended the camp. It should
 now be the effort of every man in the | ; thus doskg his part in pushing our rating so high as to compare with the oldest and best militia batteries in the , United States, and proving the suc- s cess of our first years work"
