Amendments to the National Guard
regulations have been announced by
the War Department designating
what are appropriate duties Tor ON
GERS not belonging to organizations.
If saws that while the appropriate du-
ties of general and field officers and
raptains and lieutenants not belong
ing to companies should ordinarily
pertain TO the officers grade, branch
or assignment, attendance at the as
senblies of line companies or other
organizations, for participation IN
training or imparting special instruc-
ti0ns. tends to add to the military
knowledge of such officers, and where
the assignment of such duties is au-
thorized by proper military authority,
the duties so assigned may be consid-
cred appropriate duties. The aggre-
gate of these appropriate duties for
any given period of time will be com
mensurate with those training duties
required by law for officers belonging
to companies.
For satisfactory performance of
these appropriate duties, each officer
above the grade of captain will re-
ceive armory drin pay at the rate of
$500 year.
Guard organizations have been au-
thorized by the War Department TO
place on an administrative pay basis
the battalion headquarters detach-
ments. These are separate units,
distinct from the battery organiza-
tions, and one of which has but re-
Gently been organized in the local
Guard.
There is now hope that two or at
least one member of the local National
Guard will become eligible for the
team which is to represent the United
States at the International Matches to
be held at Rome, Italy, in May.
Cant. J. C.. Jensen, Ordnance De-
rartnent, OF the Guard, and Capt.
Clarence s. Shields. commanding
Company +, 121st Engineers. were
the high men in the local competitions,
and are awaiting instructions from
the National Rife Association TO pro
ceed to Quantico. Va, for the final
matches.
