Tbla plan waa worked out at a confer ence recently held In Washington between the executive committee of the National Guard Association. the secretary of war and the members of the war college. The plan was fully agreed upon, and at the meeting of the officer*' association In Macou recently the scheme was fully Indorsed. A bill will be Introduced In congress which will give the state national guard organiza tions full equipment from the government from both the ordnauce and quartermasters' departments. This moons that all the arms, uniforms and full equipment for ench man will tie supplied by the government Just as for the regular army. Full equipment for each enlisted man Is worth nliout P>3. These amounts will not be deducted from the allot ments of money now given the states. Length of Servico. Another radical change will be asked for In relation to the term of service under a call of the president. Under the Dick bill state military organizations are called into service for nine months only. At the ex plrntlon of that time the whole regiment oes out, and If the officer* and men cod- ..no* In service they must eullat lu the volunteer army, and trust to assignments. It Is held that tbla would, under a war call, practically destroy the state organisations. It Is proposed to so amend this part of qulred. It Is also proposed to make It ob- resilient In the event of .j# regular army, next the national guard, then the volunteers. It Is also planned to so arrange that every national guard organization may get the annual benefit of encampments of maneu vers. either national or state, the govern ment to pay the expense of the same. A $5,000,000 Fund. Tlio Increase in the appropriation from £2,000,000 to $S,0Q0,p00 is wanted to accomplish this. Also, to pay the men for twenty-four drills of an hour and n half each per year. For this acrvlce the men are to be paid 42 cents, and to aecure Its benefits. It la pro posed to fine ench mao In a similar amount who misses drills, without a valid excuse. Money Is also wanted to equip good target grounds for every eotnnuny. It Is a fact that most of the men enlisted in the na tional guard are sadly deficient In ability to shoot straight. It Is said all of these proposed things have received the full Indorsement of the secretary of war snd the war college. Ad jutant General A. 4. Hcott and Major SI.
