Costs Of Supporting
Militia Increasing

Along with the increased cost Of
arming and armaments, the Ma.
tional Guard Of the country Is,
keeping pace, according to figures
disclosed by the National Guard Bu-
reau. In addition to the increases
IN the personnel authorized by Con-
gress, the expense of changing the
uniform and other equipment is
going on apace. 1t was indicated
that the figures for the field train
Ing during the fiscal year of 1888
will be approximately $9,200,000. as
compared with $7,880,476 for the
previous year.
This increase was explained as
due to the fact that National Guard
units, including certain coast artil-
lery and cavalry regiments in the
States, comprising the 7th and 9th
Corps Areas, were required to forego
field training during the fiscal year
1897 in order to permit participa-
ton in the 4th Army maneuvers,
held during the fiscal year 1898. In
addition, it was said, the majority
of these same units were then author
lied to take regular field training in
June of 1888, the same fiscal year,
at an approximate cost of 81 ,O85 900.
Also the second 5000 strength in
crement of the National Guard at
tended field training during the
fiscal year 1888 at an approximate
cost of $234,000. The average cost
for field training for the two fiscal
years, it was indicated, involved
$46.90 per man.
An allowance of ST per man was
provided to the various States for
necessary articles of uniform, and
even this was held not to be enough
for all the needs of field training.
In addition to this amount, all en-
listed men were provided with a new
type raincoat and some overcoats
were provided in the Northern
States. The cost of clothing, in
cluding replacement of reimburse
able items and packing and handling
charges, was s2,399 ,6a7.16 per
capita cost of 1894, based on the
enlisted strength of l79,843. During
the past year, also, the National
Guard was authorized to issue trou-
sers for armory drill and, in addi-
ton, certain branches were author
lied to wear trousers for armory
drill. Lack of funds, it was said,
prohibited the initial issue of these
trousers, but as breeches wear out
they will be replaced by trousers for
organizations authorized to wear
them.
During the past year, also, 100
gas masks were procured However.
this only provided requirements for
unserviceable masks. Bureau off,
cials point out that the shortage Of
gas masks is one of the most serious
equipment shortages at this time.
