the new regulations.
The War Department has rescinded
a previous regulation restricting the
employment of rifle range keepers to
certain periods of the year, so that
now they may be employed at any time.
A new scale of Federal pay, based on
the number of targets or the number
of units using the range, has been
ordered as follows: Ranges used by at
least one and not more than two COM
panies, $50 month; ranges used by
| three companies, $50 a month; four
companies, $40; five companies, $50;
| ranges having less than 80 targets in
stalled, which are used by six COM
panies or more, $50; ranges having 80
or more targets installed, which are
used by at least six companies and not
more than IL companies, SIS, and tar
get ranges having 80 or more targets in
stalled. which are used by more than
Il companies, 500 month.

Two units of the National Guard
reached 100 per cent in their attendance
at drill last week, and with one other
completed the group classed as superior
in attendance. Two 100 per cents were
the Headquarters Detachment, 29th Di-
vision Special Troops, and the Medical
department Detachment, 260th Coast
Artillery. The other one in the group
was the 18th Division Military Police
Company, with score of 1856.
On the other hand, it appears from
the official compilation that there is an
increase in the group class as unsatis-
factory, although none of the organiza-
lions had such poor attendance as to
put them in the class of very unsatisfac-
tory. The percentages probably will take
a jump during the next two weeks, as
the guard units will pass through their
annual inspections before Regular
Army inspector.

spective groups, with percentages, fol-
low:

1887; Headquarters Detachment, 26Oth
