THE NEW YORK NATIONAL GUARDSMAN, as established by Major General Charles W. Berry: "It will be strictly non-political; it will not attempt to exploit any theme or theory on partisan lines; it will religiously refrain from 'underwriting' the am­ bitions or activities of any individual, public or private; it will be severely inde­ pendent, making its appeal to the interests of the readers rather than to the vanity of those in charge; it will encourage that training which no successful business man can ignore if he desires his employees to be better disciplined and trained to give 100 per cent. of duty to all work entrusted to them—it will be a vehicle for the propagation of one policy and only one: Better Guardsmanship and Better Citizenship'."

The reason for this is the fact that the angle between the grip and the barrel is too acute.

The second period of the Infantry Camp at Peekskill, commencing June 29lh, will be devoted to the field training of the 105th and 10th Infantry regiments. The gallant 105th, now in command of Col. Ransom H. Gillet, with headquarters at Troy, was one of the battling infantry regiments of the Glorious 27th Division. Major General Charles W. Berry, upon his promotion to Lieutenant Colonel, was assigned to the 105th, leaving the 106th Infantry as Major. The 10th Infantry, sharing the camp activities with the 105th, is in command of Col.
