the Clyde the steamship Nile took the
ways. 1t was 420 feet long, had a
breadth Of 52 feet and a draft of 80
feet 5 inches--called a triumph of
engineering. It's majesty of line and
aweing proportions seemed to presage
a new era OF American Oriental ship
ping to which 1t was consigned.
Instead there lay ahead years of
vicissitudes, a gradual slipping from
the affections Of shipping men. nu.

that was factor in putting the line
then operating 1t out Of business.
Finally there came q sentence to the
junk yard and now workmen are rip
ping 1t apart.
Pacific Coast shipping men say that
the chief reason why the Nile failed
to Justify the expectations Of it's
builders was it's coal bunkers. which
took up SO much of its carrying ca
pacity that it could not compete with
tiously constructed in freight trans.
portation. Its last sale was reported
to have been $4,000, an insignificant
fraction Of its initial cost.

mum time In field training camps will
be devoted to field exercises and to
training In those subjects which can
not properly be conducted in armories.

development Of aggressive offensive
teams Of all arms.

given some attention at the coming
encampments also. In view Of the
anticipated supply Of suitable masks

objective OF training will be to estab.
lish individual and collective protec.
ton against gas as n normal feature
OF the development OF all units and
commands on a par with drill. tactics
and the use OF weapons. To reach
this objective. It Is necessary that
company, troop and battery COM
manders and officers will be able to
give the instruction to their own men.
Training will be directed primarily
toward their preparation for this re-
sponsibility.
Two hours Of instruction in individ-
ual and collective protection and in.
struction methods will be given to all
company. troop and battery officers
Of line organizations Of the National
Guard during the 15.day training
period. This training will be supple
mented by demonstrations of one hour
duration in the application OF chemical
means to the execution Of the normal
tactical operations Of small units Of
the arm under instruction. and such
additional tactical exercises as unit
commanders may find practicable.
In the preparation OF training
schedules for the 15.day periods. camp
commanders may count on the advisa-
bility. during the two consecutive
days, OF an officer instructor of the
Chemical Warfare Service, and, dur.
ing the entire period. Of a non-commis-
stoned officer instructor. The maxi
mum practicable advantage will be
taken throughout the training period
OF the presence OF the sergeant in.
structor in carrying out the spirit of
these instructions.
