In the event that no record practice
is held a report to that effect also Is
desired. It Is added that in order to
assist the work of the bureau it Is
urged that reports be submitted
promptly after the close Of the target
year, and it also was pointed out that
10 months after the last possible day of
the target year the reports Of nine
States had not been received.
Reports to the Militia Bureau indi-
cate that there is a growing interest In
musketry and combat-firing since the
publication of the bureaus policy re-
garding the construction OF musketry
and combat ranges. A large number of
requests for the authority 10 construct
this type Of range have been received.
However, 1t is reported that there is
shown q marked tendency to attempt
initial development on q too elaborate
scale Musketry and combat firing
should start with modest facilities, the
Army officers report, and these should
be increased as the progress Of training
demands 1t Is explained that over
development In the initial phases IL
fundamentally wrong and results in
providing facilities more extensive than
the State Of training tuSttheS.

sembly during the week. Some of them
were at Fort George G. Meade taking
their annual field training.
Pvt. Joseph NJ Bowman has been
ordered transferred from the reserve to
the active list Of Company F, l2lst
Engineers.
The Militia Bureau says that an ex-
animation Of reports in that Office indi-
| Gates that considerable target firing Is
being conducted at field training camps.
| 1t is desired, the report continues, that
| the maximum time possible during the
| all too brief field training period be de-
voted exclusively to the more advanced
phases Of training, combat exercises and
field problems. 1t is added that only
through the cooperation of National
Guard commanders can this desire be
realized, and IN o number of instances
where firing was completed at home
stations the results obtained were very
satisfactory.
The report further states that there is
an apparent lack of preparatory in
struction prior to service firing. This
is evidenced, 1t was pointed out, by the
large number Of men reported as having
started the prescribed course and the
relatively small percentage qualifying
During the target year, 1928, of those
required to fire only 20 per cent COM
pleted and Of those completing the
course so per cent were qualified. These
percentages can be materially increased
by more thorough preparatory training
In the opinion of the bureau officials
who point out that before firing single
complete the preparatory instruction
course, including the tests. This in
struction, the bureau says, can be
readily given during the armory drill
period.
Fault is being found by the Militia
Bureau with the failure of some State
miIitias to send in range-firing reports,
The bureau says that 1t is desired to
point out the importance Of nge-flring
reports, and asserts that from these re-
ports are compiled data as to progress
made In Workmanship throughout the
National Guard. These data also are
used in computing ammunition ex-
penditures and estimating probable re-
quirementS for the year following any
one target year. The bureau further
says that adjutantS general should sum-
nit separate reports for each class of
weapon fired-that is, rife, pistol, ma
