ent which is most feasible ana will work less hardship on the Ma ttonal Guard as whole to meet this deficit will be to reduce the number of armory drill periods. {. The reduction will be five.
 The secretary of war has di- rected that for the remainder of the fiscal year the drill periods shall not exceed 23 federal pay drills between July 1 and Decem- Der 81, and for the January 1 to March 31 period. not to exceed 10 federal pay drills not held dur ing the first and second quarters. In the fourth quarters, April l to June 30 the federal pay drills are not to exceed 10 in addition to those not held during the previous three quarters. The entire num- Der of federal pay drills is limited to z3.

More than 800 officers and men of the local units of the C0nnec- ticut National Guards are to ex- perience a "cut" in pay. The rate per drill period will be the sames but the number of periods will pc reduced to the extent of five at least during 1882. This Is the semi-official statement of AdJut- ant General w. F. Ladd in Q c0m- Ynunication to guard officers. The generals forecast is based on the report from Washintgon that a deficiency in funds available for National Guards camps will make 1t imperative for Q. general re- trenchment.
 Guardsmen are compensated about $1 a drill period. The rate increases approximately accord ing to rank. Captains average about $6.e7 each period. The high- CT ones standing the greater the cut, apparently, but 1t will only be for the coming year.
 The natetr came to the adjut- ant generals office from the commanding general of the First Corps Area. It noted that by reason of increased attendance at field training camps of the Na- tional Guard last summer there will be . deficiency estimated at $6O0,000 in funds available for conduct of the June 1882 camps.
