On December 31, 1928, the State Armory at Hudson was partially destroyed by fire. It is estimated that the sum of $125,- 000 will be required for the restoration of this building.

THE STATE ARSENAL A Bureau of Equipment and Supply occupies the new State Arsenal at 64th Street and Second Avenue, Brooklyn. The Federal military equipment and munitions in the possession of our various National Guard organizations or in storage at the State Arsenal or at the various Camps of Instruction within the State have a value of approximately $21,000,000. A statement of the Federal funds allotted to New York during the fiscal year 1928, and the various purposes for which said funds were allotted, will be found in Appendix C.

CLOTHING, EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLY Owing to the fact that a number of the sizes of uniforms, hats, etc., which were formerly furnished to the State by the Federal government as a free issue, have been exhausted, the War Depart- ment is now charging against allotments of this State a greater portion of the expens.e of providing these articles than heretofore. To date, however, this has not materially affected the normal issue and it is believed that a plan will be devised by the Militia Bureau at Washington which will overcome this difficulty. The Militia Bureau has announced that it is accumulating a stock of olive drab uniforms of a very superior quality, and as soon as they have a sufficient quantity on hand, these uniforms will be issued to the National Guard throughout the country to take the place of the very inferior uniforms now being furnished. From information obtained it is believed the new issue will be ready during the year 1930. The equipment of the Air Corps of the State with new airplanes is proceeding rapidly. All the obsolete "Jenny" planes have either been destroyed or returned and six new planes of various . types are now in use by our Air Service. It is understood that additional planes will be furnished during the coming year. Owing to the rapid strides being made in radio service, it is understood the War Department is finding it difficult to keep abreast with the more modern type of equipment and there has been considerable confusion during the past year incident to the equipment of our communication units. It is believed the W Ilr Department will Soon determine a standard type which will re- sult in the National Guard being supplied with uniform field radio installation. No additional horses have been furnished to mounted troops. by the Federal government during the year. However, a number of privately owned animals were accepted for Federal maintenance which adds materially to the efficiency of our mounted service. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT-GENERAL 17

SOLDIERS' BONUS BUREAU A bonus for New York veterans of the World War was provided for under constitutional authority by chapter 19, Laws of 1924. The sum of $45,000,000 was realized from the sale of bonds, author- ized by said law, which sum was augmented by premiums in the amount of $659,565. The latter sum also being appropriated for bonus purposes under chapter 208, Laws of 1925. A commission, consisting of the Adjutant-General, the Comp- troller, the Treasurer and the Attorney-General, controlled the operations of the bureau until April 22, 1926. Thereafter its functions were absorbed by the Adjutant-General. Each eligible veteran, upon his application, received the sum of $10 for each month of service with the colors between April 6, 1917, and November 11, 1918, with $150 as the maximum pay- ment. Under chapter 209, Laws of 1925, an additional appropria- tion of $2,500,000 was made. Chapter 26, Laws of 1925 added the next of kin to those who were killed or died in the service or prior to February 28, 1924, as eligible to receive the bonus. Under chapter 267, Laws of 1926, a further appropriation of $300,000 was approved, bringing the total amount for bonus purposes to $48,459,565, out of which there has been paid to date in bonuses and administration costs the sum of $48,366,436.64, leaving a bal- ance of $93,128.36. 18 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT-GENERAL

Under the law no original claim may be received after May 1, 1927. Since that date the bureau has received 220 claims upon which no action could be taken and 1,106 requests for application blanks. There are still in process of adjustment 6,221 claims of which 4,729 are in the bureau and 1,492 in the hands of the claimants. Assuming from past experiences that 50 per cent of this number will be finally approved for payment, it will require the sum of $365,270 or an additional appropriation of $272,141, plus the necessary expenses for administration. There has been received 418,280 claims, of which 405,436 have been paid with an average payment per claim of $117.45 at an overhead cost of $1.54 per claim, which is less than any other state has as yet reported. Of the total claims rceived, 22,847 applicants are not credited as having enlisted from this State. Adding this number to the 518,864veterans who are credited to the State it would seem that there are still 123,431 actual New York State veterans, who have never applied for the bonus.

BLIND VETERANS'FuND There are at this date 35 veterans of the World War who receive $500 per annum, by reason of blindness as a result of war service. VETERANS GRAVE REGISTRATION Under the provisions of chapter 290, Laws of 1924, the under- signed is required to compile a record of the burial places within the State of all veterans who served in the military and naval forces of the United States in all wars. While a card index system was developed in 1927 nothing further has been accomplished due to lack of funds.

NEW YORK MONUMENTS COMMISSION The activities of this Commissionwill be found in the report of its chairman, which is attached hereto as Appendix D.

STATE CAMP FOR VETERANS Under the provisions of chapter 240 of the Laws of 1928, a temporary commission was created, consisting of the Governor, the Attorney-General and the Adjutant-General, to negotiate with the proper Federal authorities for the transfer of the State Camp for Veterans at Bath, to the United States, subject to the accept- ance of the following conditions: 1. That such camp shall be perpetually maintained and used as a camp or home for veterans of the wars of the United States. 2. That the veterans of the Civil War, and the Spanish-Ameri- can War, who are inmates of such camp at the time of such trans- fer or surrender, shall be maintained therein during their lives. If such conditions are accepted by the proper and authorized Federal authorities, the commission "shall" direct the Commis- ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ADJUTANT~GENERAL 19 sioners of the Land Office to execute and deliver, in behalf of the State, to the proper authorities of the United States, all deeds and other instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer or surrender. Negotiations with the Federal authorities in compliance with the above law are now in process. The report of the Commandant of the Camp, for the year 1928. will be found in Appendix E.

EXAMINATIONSOF ENLISTED MEN FOR ADMISSION TO THE UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY The annual competitive examination for enlisted men of the National Guard for cadetships at the United States Military Academy was held, under the direction of this office, at New York City, Albany and Buffalo, on November 9th and 10th. Fifty-one candidates competed. The ten receiving the highest average of proficiency have been selected, with the approval of the Governor, to take the entrance examination on March 5, 1929, and, if successful, will enter the Academy on July 1, 1929. The practice of alloting these cadetships to soldiers of the National Guard was authorized by Congress in 1916, and since that time the manifest interest throughout the National Guard in this splendid educational opportunity has constantly increased. Eligibility for appointment requires the candidate to be between the ages of 19 and 22 years, an enlisted man of a Federally recog- nized unit of the National Guard, and have served as a soldier therein not less than one year prior to the date of entrance into the Academy. REMARKS In conclusion may the undersigned be permitted to express to you the gratitude of the officers and men of all branches of the service for the encouragement and broad generosity you have always extended to the defensive forces of the State. Respectfully submitted, (Signed) FRANKLIN VV. WARD, Brigadier General, A. G. D., The Adjuta,nt-General,' ~ , APPENDIX A Report of the Commanding Officer, New York National Guard The following report of the condition and activities of the New York National Guard and of operations during the calendar year 1928, together with recommendations is made in accordance with paragraph 443, Regulations for the Military Forces of the State of New York. 1. General. The general condition of the Guard remains satis... factory. Progress has heen made in many respects. Strength has been maintained, attendance has still further improved and train- ing shows steady advance. It is my opinion that the Guard at present is efficient and is ready to meet any call that may be made for its services, but I also believe that, by improvements in methods and in equipment, still further progress is possible and will be attained. 2. Strength. The present strength of the Guard is limited by the War Department to a total of 21,511. This strength has been maintained as nearly as possible, but the necessity of setting limits for each organization and the fact that some will occasionally drop below their maximum, while none can be allowed to exceed that figure causes our total to be always slightly less than the authorized figure. Many organizations are anxious to exceed their present allotments and would easily be able to do so. In several cas-esgood administrative or training reasons exist for such in- crease but it has been impossible to authorize it. Authority from the Federal government for a slight increase would undouhtedly help us, but I am of the opinion that a large increase would not work to our advantage. The Guard at present is materially larger than it was before the World War and while many organizations have more applications for memhership than they can handle. others still find difficulty in maintaining their strength at all times. Therefore, although our present limit handicaps some organiza- tions, I believe that it is in many ways an advantage enabling us to exercise more care in selection and therefore tending to improve our personnel. 3. Attendance and Morale. Attendance at all duties for the year averaged 82 per cent for the entire Guard. This is the high- est average since the war. Attendance at field training during the summer was 92.25 per cent. From all records available this appears to be the highest figures that the New York National Guard has ever attained at field training, and represents a pres- ence in training camps of 19,337 officers and men. These figures would seem to indicate that general morale is excellent and also that employers recognize the benefits of National Guard service and throw few obstacles in the way of requisite performance of duty. [20J REPORT OF THE COMMANDING OFFICER 21

4. Organization. Three important changes in organization were made in 1928. Authority was obtained from the Federal govern- ment to organize a full brigade of cavalry in this State instead of the brigade less one regiment which was previously assigned to us. At the same time new tables of organization for a cavalry brigade were issued which abolished the machine gun squadron previously embodied therein. To form the enlarged brigade the second squadron was detached from the 101st Cavalry and with the three unassigned troops which were authorized and certain other newly organized units it became the 121st Cavalry under command of Colonel Kenneth M. 'rownson of Rochester and with stations at Albany, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, Geneseo and Buffalo. The former 51st Machine Gun Squadron became the 2nd Squadron, 101st Cavalry. The reorganization has worked well and I believe that our State cavalry is now well organized, trained and administered and ready to be of the utmost use to the State. Authority was also obtained from the War Department to render inactive the 102nd Ammunition Train and to use that number. of men to form a Headquarters Company for the 93rd Brigade. It was impossible to authorize the latter unit under our present strength restrictions without abolishing some other unit. The Artillery Ammunition Train was not a popular branch of the service, was never well supported at its station in White Plains and had had a rather unsatisfactory career since its organization. Such a unit, however, could undoubtedly be organized without difficulty in time of war. It was therefore decided to disband the 102nd Ammunition Train and to authorize 93rd Brigade Head- quarters to organize a Brigade Headquarters Company. Federal recognition was extended to this company on April 2, 1928. To occupy the former armory of the Ammunition Train at White Plains the 106th Collecting Company of the 102nd Medical Regi- ment was transferred thereto from Manhattan, thus relieving existing congestion in the 66th Street Armory of that organization and retaining a Guard unit in White Plains which now seems to be of a character that the community will support. With the exception of the promotion of Colonel Townson referred to above there have been only two changes in commanding officers during the year. Brigadier General ElmoreF. Austin, commanding the 52nd Field Artillery Brigade, retired for age in May, 1928, after a long and conspicuously efficient career of nearly forty years in the New York National Guard. To succeed him Colonel 'Villiam F. Schohl of the 106th Field Artillery was pro- moted to Brigadier General and Lieutenant Colonel Douglas. P. Walker was in turn promoted to Colonel and assigned to command the 106th Field Artillery. Three other officers who have per- formed long and faithful service were retired during the year upon reaching the age limit set by law. Colonel J. Weston Myers, Quartermaster Corps, State Staff, who was also United States Property and Disbursing Officer, retired on July 7th, after the exceptionally long service of forty-five years. On the 11th of 22 ApPENDIX tt A;" ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

December Lieut. Colonel Allan L. Reagan, Inspector 27th Division Staff, retired after a service of twenty-eight years, and on Decem- ber 13th Colonel Washington 1. Taylor, Coast Defense Officer, New York National Guard, retired after serving nearly thirty-nine years. 5. Service in Aid of Civil Authorities. During the year 1928 there have been no formal calls upon the National Guard for serv- ice in aid of the civil authorities. I desire, however, to call atten- tion to the fact that our Military Police detachment, maintained during the field training season at Camp Smith, frequently has performed valuable service on request in assisting the police of Peekskill, New York, to control traffic, to furnish special guards and on several occasions to aid in the apprehension of dangerous characters. This detachment has also on request co-operated in numerous instances with the State Troopers in the vicinity of Camp Smith. Our 27th Military Police Company during their field training also performed services in traffic control in Peekskill and vicinity. 6. Training. As pointed out in my last annual report our train- ing system is now standardized, is producing good results and is believed to need only minor changes from time to time. The system of drills, schools and field training is generally well under- stood and well carried out. We have during the past year, as outlined in my last report, stressed basic training, precision and accuracy. In my opinion these three details are the basis of all good training and are also details in which the National Guard is and always has been weak. In fact I incline to the belief that with the greater range of train- ing that is required today the New York National Guard actually is weaker in the fundamentals and in precision and accuracy than it was twenty-five years ago. This is a condition of affairs which can be remedied and which will be remedied. Some commanding officers realize this shortcoming and are taking adequate steps to overcome it. Others fail to grasp the situation and will have to be educated to a proper view of the true condition of their organizations. State inspectors were specially instructed last year to give credit for accuracy and precision and will again be so instructed this year and when commanding officers become fully alive to what we are demanding they can make the desired change. I am very hopeful that we shall be able to produce good results in the near future. . I also plan to lay special emphasis on dress and appearance. We are handicapped at present by the rough material and poor cut of many of the uniforms which are issued to us. I am in- formed that the Militia Bureau hopes to be in a position to remedy this in the near future. However, much of the inferior appearance of Our men is due to carelessness or mistaken ideas as to how a good soldier should appear. Many organizations have taken this matter up and have had their olive drab uniforms refitted or in some cases have had tailor-made uniforms provided for their entire personnel. It is, however, not necessary to go to the latter expense ·REPORrr OF' THE COMMANDING OFFICER 23 to produce the result that I desire and I hope that by increased pressure from Headquarters a great deal can be accomplished. Staff training by the means of what are known as Command Post Exercises has been a .feature of recent work and I am much gratified by the results attained. The 27th Division Staff had a four day command post exercise which was most creditably per- formed both by the staff and, by the signal and other special troops which participated in the exercise. Brigades had four afternoons of such training and regiments two afternoons in addition to the work associated with their combat exercises. Good staff training was practically unknown before the World War. At present all of our staffs, signal troops and headquarters units have a working idea of their duties and need only added practice to attain in- creased efficiency. The efficiency of our officer personnel has materially increased in addition to which I believe that it is improving in caliber. We have secured in recent years many graduates of the United States Military Academy who subsequently resigned from the service and entered business life in the State. With their basic training and with the necessary experience to realize the special problems of the National Guard such men will make valuable officers How- ever, there is no question that our main supply of officer personnel should be from our own ranks, and as has been reported before, we now have, in nearly all organizations, candidates schools the function of which is to train promising enlisted men for promotion to commissioned rank. The best of these schools have been very successful; with time and experience all will be standardized and will produce an unfailing source for our commissioned personnel. Organizations are also required to establish and maintain schools for officers, non-commissioned officers and specialists. One of the most valuable methods of instruction that we have is the privilege of sending officers and men to the various service schools which are conducted by the United States Army. Here our representatives are put in touch with the very latest military ideas and methods and as they are carefully selected they cannot fail to become of inestimable value as instructors in addition to their increasd personal value as officers. We have been very fortunate in 1928 in sending the following large number of officers and men to the schools indicated:

Squadron Our 1928 field training followed the general lines of recent years, but at Camp Smith we erected a new landscape-target range for training in musketry which it is believed will produce good results and which will be increasingly featured in the future. Our cav- REPORT OF THE COMMANDING OFFICER 25

alry devoted special attention to the use of the saber and pistol mounted and made a very creditable showing in qualifications with these weapons. The 27th Division Air Service made good progress in bombing and machine gun training and are especially to be commended for their progress in radio telephone communication between planes and ground. As in previous years all of the Infantry and special troops trained at Camp Smith, near Peekskill, cavalry and field artillery at Pine Camp, the 212th and 244th Coast Artillery and the 258th Field Artillery at Fort Ontario, the 245th Cost Artillery at Fort H. C. Wright, and the 27th Tank Company and 102d Ordnance Company at Fort Leonard Wood, Maryland. I was personally stationed at Camp Smith, but either made personal visits or sent members of my staff to all other camps where our troops were in training at least once during each regimental tour of duty. I also made visits to Mount Gretna, Pa., and Cascade, Md., the camps respectively of the Pennsylvania and Maryland National Guards. Camp Smith was visited for several days by representatives of the New Jersey and Pennsylvania National Guard. I believe that such visits are of utmost value in the interchange of ideas and the suggestion of improved methods and equipment. I hope for increased acquaint- ance between ourselves and the forces of other states. Our camps were also visited by Major General Charles P. Sum- merall, Chief of Staff, U. S. Army, Major General Hanson E. Ely, Commanding Second Corps Area and Major General Creed C. Hammond, Chief of the Militia Bureau, all of whom expressed their satisfaction with our methods of training and the appearance and progress of the troops. The results of our year's training as indicated by reports of inspectors, were as follows: Federal field inspection reports rated 14 of our organizations "Very Satisfactory," 19 "Satisfactory" and none "Unsatisfactory." Of the component units of these organizations 131 were rated "Very Satisfactory," 227 "Satis- factory" and 2 "Unsatisfactory." The average for the entire Guard was "Very Satisfactory" in Discipline in Morale and in Efficiency of commanding officers above the grade of captain. It was" Satisfactory" in all other subjects Our own ratings of our organizations during field training were 7 "Very Satisfactory," 14 "Satisfactory Plus," 10 "Satisfac- tory, " and 2 "Satisfactory Minus." The latter two organizations with possibly one addition are the only ones at present which are not making good progress and which are liable to cause concern in the future. 7. Small Arms Practice. Great advance was made in 1928 in small arms firing, and qualifications exceeded those of any previous year. 2,454 qualified with the rifle, 2,144 with the pistol, 480 with machine guns, 364 with the automatic rifle, 423 with the trench mortar and 37 mm gun, 408 with the bayonet, 650 on the 1,000 inch rifle range, 79 with the sword mounted, 130 with the pistol mounted, 659 in Coast Artillery gunners test. With all weapons, total 26 ApPENDIX "A;" ADJUTANT-GENERAL'8 REPORT

qualifications were 7,791 as compared with a previous high figure of 6,431. The 10th Infantry surpassed all previous regimental records for aggregate of qualifications with all arms, and also exceeded pre- vious regimental figures for pistol and automatic rifle qualifica- tions. Regimental high records were also beaten by the 108th Infantry with the rifle and howitzer, by the 107th Infantry with the bayonet and by the 101st Cavalry with the sword mounted and pistol mounted The State matches held at Camp Smith, Peekskill, in June were very largely attended by both rifle and pistol shots, representing the majority of our organizations. The matches were closely con- tested and good records made. In the Second Corps Area pistol match between teams of twelve officers, representing the National Guard units of New York, New Jersey and Delaware, the New York team won, securing the first inscription on the Rhinelander Cup awarded for these annual competitions. The team also won two of the three medals,for high individual score, the first, or gold medal, going to Captain John E. J. Clare, Jr., of the 244th Coast Artillery, who made the remarkable match score of 97.22 per cent, and the third place, bronze medal, to Captain Leonard J. McCann of the l04th Field Artillery, with 95 per cent. The New York National Guard, as a result of this match won three of the five places on the Corps Area's all National Guard team in the Luquer Cup pistol team match. In the National matches held at Camp Perry, Ohio, in Septem- ber, New York entered both a rifle and pistol team this year for the first time. Both were good teams, the riflemen defeating all National Guard teams in the infantry match (skirmish run from 1,000 yards down) and then successively outshooting the winners of both the service and civilian groups, thus capturing the match for 1928. In the National Rifle Team Match, New York finished as usual in Class "A" but was beaten by a small margin by five National Guard teams. The pistol team defeated all National Guard teams in the Na- tional Pistol Team match, finishing in eighth place among the medal winners, in a field of 41 teams representing the services, National Guard, reserves and police and civilian teams of the country. First Sergeant James H. Overbaugh, 10th Infantry, secured one of the gold medals in the National Individual Pistol Match, in a field of 700. 8. Distinctive Insignia and Uniform.s. All but three of our organizations (the 102nd Engineers, 156th Field Artillery and 244th Coast Artillery) have adopted the distinctive coats-of-arms recently authorized by the War Department and are wearing the insignia on their uniforms. Four organizations have resumed the wearing of a distinctive full dress uniform and a number of others are seriously considering such a step and are obtaining designs and estimates of cost. I heartily approve the adoption of distinc- tive full dress uniforms as increasing morale and pride in organization. REPORT OF THE COMMANDING OFFICER 27

9. Pe1'manent Pla,nt. a. A.rmor'ies. All of our organizations are housed. Many of them splendidly housed. However, we still have several units, recently organized, which are occupying rented quarters and we have a number in quarters which from age or for other reasons are inadequate or unsuitable. In the city of New York the Armory Board has made several improvements to exist- ing armories and is planning for several new armories. The con- struction of three new State armories has been instituted and several other localities, especially in the area of the 156th Field Artillery should receive early consideration. This matter will undoubtedly receive full attention in the report of the Adjutant- General. It is mentioned herein to stress the need for new con- struction and to urge favorable consideration of requests for such construction which emanate from the Adjutant-General's office. b. Camp Smith. In the development of Camp Smith the princi- pal improvement which would strike the casual observer has been the grading and terracing which has been done, in accordance with my last year's recommendation, in the vicinity of the swimming pool. The work already completed has added immeasurably to the appearance of the camp completely changing an area which always appeared unfinished and unattractive. The completion of the project will give us a splendid athletic field and the additional drill ground area which is so greatly needed. In addition to this, however, a number of improvements have been· completed or in- stituted which have added greatly to the convenience and comrort of the troops. The landslides in the East Camp, caused by heavy rains in 1927, have been repaired and a complete new drainage system installed which we are assured will prevent the recurrence of such trouble. The officers' mess and officers' latrine in the West Camp have been remodeled and a new regimental storehouse erected in that camp. The hospital, the floor beams of which were decaying to such an extent as to be dangerous, has been thoroughly renovated. The theatre in the rear of the Recreation building has been completed and was used for moving pictures and other e:xhib- tions in the evenings throughout the summer. In addition consider- able work was necessary and was done in general upkeep. To summarize briefly our plans for Camp Smith construction for 1929 I have requested appropriations from the State to complete the improvement of the 1\1cCoy road in order to give us a better approach to the camp from the Albany Post road, to fill in and grade the present unsightly swamp at the western entrance to the camp along the Bear 1iountain Bridge road and to continue the grading north or the s'wimming pool for additional drill grounds together with certain other minor items and general maintenance. We have also requested from the Federal government the installa- tion or an adequate system of fire protection which is greatly needed, a magazine for high explosives and one for small arms am- munition, a storehouse for forage which at present has to be stored in one of the warehouses and constitutes a decided fire menace, a target house on the automatic rifle range, the complete renovation 28 ApPENDIX "A ;" ADJUTANT'-GENERAL'S REPORT

of the shower and latrine buildings in the West camp (two of the oldest buildings on the reservation) and the start of the work of providing all tents with concrete instead of board floors and with tent frames. The necessity for the above improvements have been set forth at length in my appropriation requests. A plant of this kind should be maintained in a perfect condition of appearance and efficiency.Camp Smith compares favorably with any Regular Army or National Guard Post in the United States. I wish to main- tain it in every respect as a credit to the State and to its National Guard. I desire further to state herein that the wisdom of the policy of the State in rehabilitating Camp Smith and making it one of the finest National Guard camps in the country has in my opinion been fully justified by increased efficiency, morale and pride of service of the entire New York National Guard. b. Pine Camp. Pine Camp is strictly a Federal reservation and all expenses are paid from Federal funds. In 1928 the water system was greatly improved, the spring-basin enlarged and a stone pump-house erect'ed. A photographic hut was constructed for our Air Service and a new observation tower put up for the artillery. The aviation field is being constantly improved. For 1929 a machine shop for ordinance repair has been requested, mess- halls for Brigade Headquarters and for the Air Service, shelters for animals over present picket lines and a continuance of the improvement of the aviation field and the water system. More land is acutely needed for increased artillery ranges but as yet little progress has been made in this respect. c. Port Ontario. Conditions at Fort Ontario, another strictly Federal post, are generally satisfactory although rather constricted as previously reported. Concrete walks to the kitchens were put in last year. In 1929 it is hoped to obtain improvement in the sewerage system and in shower-bath and latrine facilities together with a new storehouse. d. Forts H. G. Wright and Leona,rd Wood. These are strictly Federal posts and we have no authority over them. Conditions there are not ideal but our troops have been able to obtain good training. 10. Recom.m.\endaUons. I \have only one recommendation to make, namely, that as liberal a policy as possible be adopted in considering requests of the Adjutant-General for new armory con- struction upstate. At many stations the need is acute and lack of facilities is handicapping training and efficiency. To maintain all units at the high standard which has been set for the National Guard of the State of New York, several stations are entitled to immediate and adequate assistance. 11. In conclusion, as this report is being forwarded to Your Excellency on the eve of your retirement after an unusually long service as Governor of the State, I deem it proper and in fact due to express to you the appreciation of the National Guard for the unfailing interest, understanding and assistance that they have received from you during the eight years of your service as their REPORT OF THE COMMANDING OFFIClnR 29

Commander-in-Chief. The entire Guard has, by means of in- creased efficiency, endeavored to show their appreciation of your attitude. I know that I speak for all in concluding this report .with a definite expression of that appreciation. (Signed) WILUAM N. HASKELL, Major General, N. Y. N. G. Commanding. APPENDIX B

Report ofi the Commanding Officer, New York Naval Militia I. The following report is submitted concerning the operations and conditions of the New Yorlr Naval Militia for the year ended December 31, 1928: 1. The regular annual Muster and Inspection of the Organiza- tions of the New York Naval Militia were held as follows: 1st Battalion...... March 5 6th Separate Division...... March 6 2nd Battalion , March 12 7th Separate Division...... March 15 8th Separate Division , , , March 19 V~-3FtD3 Squadron March20 1V~-4FtD3 Squadron March 20 11th Separate Division " ......

June 19 Headquarters, 2nd, 6th and 7th Divns. and Marine Company...... June 20

Comparison with the Muster of 1927 is as follows:

Number Per cent Year Strength Present Present 1928 . 2,016 1,765 87.5 1927 . 1,821 1,557 85.5

2. A statement of the results of the Small Arms Practice is attached marked Appendix "A." The Figure of Merit Prizes were won by:

Organization Commanding Officer 9th Division, 3rd Battalion...... Lt. Cdr. J. M. Gill 3rd Division, 3rd Battalion...... Lt. C. L. Bruce 5th Division, 3rd Battalion Lt.(jg.) J. V. Thomas

The Brigade Match for a team of twelve men from each Battal- ion was held at Camp Smith, Peekskill, June 6, 1928. The Na- tional Guard course was fired with a possible total of 1,800. Following were the results: 3rd Battalion Team, total score 1,410, winner of match. 2nd Battalion Team, total score 1,230, second. 1st Battalion - no entry. [30]: REPORT OF THE COMMANDING OFFICER 31

An annual rifle match was established during the year for com- petition by one team of twelve firers from each Battalion and Squadron, and one such team from the Separate Divisions attached to Headquarters, N. Y. N. M., to compete for the Second Battalion Naval Militia Veterans' Trophy which was offered by the Veterans' Association of the Second Battalion. The initial match for this trophy was held at Camp Smith, Peekskill, June 5, 1928. The course comprised a total of 20 shots with a possible total score of 1200 for a team. The following were the results.

3rdBattalion Team, total score 880, winner of match. 2nd Battalion Team, total score 617, second. No other entries.

A comparison of the Small Arms Practice with the previous year shows that a greater number of marksmen were qualified, individ- ual scores were higher, and there was an increased attendance. The improvement is due to the greater interest in Small Arms Practice resulting from placing more emphasis on Small Arms Instruction in the drill programs, and a greater improvement is expected in 1929. 3. The Annaul 15-day Tours of Duty afloat were performed on Destroyers of the United States Navy as follows:

Organizations Vessels Dates 1st Battalion USS Flusser and Dale June 3(}-July 14 USS Breck and Isherwood July 28-August 11 2nd Battalion USS Fox June 3(}-July 14 July 21-August 4 3rd Battalion: Rochester......

The aforementioned destroyers are a part of the scouting fleet which bases at Newport, Rhode Island, during the summer months. It has been the custom in the past few years to embark the Naval Militia at New York, proceed to Newport, and confine training within the radius of that base. This and other features of the cruises have been reported by some officers as not affording a sufficient varie4ty of instruction ;and interest ito sa~isfactm·i1y advance training work. Further expressions of opinion are being obtained and, if justified, representations will be made to the Navy Department. 32 A.PPENDIX "B;'; A.DJUTANT'-GENERAL '8 REPORT

4. The following vessels are assigned for the use of the Naval Militia for week-end cruising during the summer and for practical instruction during the winter drill season: Vessel.s Units assigned USS Eagle No. 51...... 1st Battalion USS Fox...... 2nd Battalion and for general service in the district.

Cabin Auxiliary Motor Sailer. . .. 3rd Battalion, Oswego 50-ft. Cabin Auxiliary Motor Sailer. . .. 2nd Battalion The airplanes assigned to the Aviation Squadrons are as follows: Five 2-seater Training Planes with dual controls. These have a limited cruising radius and are of the type currently used in the Army and Navy for training. Three 2-seater obsolete Observation Planes with dual controls. These are faster and have longer cruising radius than the Training Plan€s but are not as safe for student flying and are therefore limited to use by qualified pilots. With this limita- tion they are, however, used as training planes. 5. The Marine Companies of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Battalions performed their 15-day Tours of Duty at the U. S. Marine Corps Station at Quantico, Virginia, from July 29, to August 11. 6. The VN-3RD3 and VN-4RD3 Squadrons performed their 15-day tours of duty at the Naval Militia Air Station at Rockaway Beach, Long Island, from June 30 to August 31, as ordered. 7. The Naval Militia participated in the following events during the year: January 13-14. Convention of the National Guard Association at Albany. April 30. Military escort for crew of the airplane "Bremen," first to make the westward crossing of the Atlantic to North America. May 30. Memorial Day parades by units in respective localities. September 3. Mobilization of Provisional Naval Militia Squadron, comprising U. E. S. Fox,. U. S. S. Eagles 51 and 26, U. S. Sub- chasers 143, 224 and 252, and 2nd Battalion Motor Cruising Launch, for for inspection and review by Rear Admiral L. M. JosephthaI. October 15-20. Military Tournament at Madison Square Garden, New York City. The Naval Militia was represented each even- ing by a Battalion in the exercises of the Provisional Regiment of the New York National Guard and Naval Militia, and by a feature drill or exercise in the balance of the program. REPORT OF THE COMMANDING OFFICER 33

October 27. Observance of Navy Day in the following cities of the State. Albany, Amsterdam, Binghamton, Buffalo, Dunkirk Gloversville, Kingston, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, New York, Niagara Falls, Ossining, Oswego, Poughkeepsie, Roch- ester, Rome, Syracuse, Troy, Utica, Watertown, White Plains and Yonkers. November 11. Ceremonies at Eternal Light, New York City, com- memorating 10th anniversary of the signing of the Armistice. 7. Under authority of General Orders No.6, A. G. O. March 30, 1928, the First Fighting Squadron was redesignated VN-3RD3 Squadron, and the First Scouting Squadron, VN-4RD3 Squadron, effective April 1, 1928. General Orders No.7, A. G. 0., April 25, 1928, changed the sta- tion of the VN-3RD3 and VN-4RD3 Squadrons from the U. S. S. Illinois to Rockaway Beach, New York City, and designated the buildings and .grounds available to the New York Naval Militia there, as an armory. This Aviation Base at Rockaway Beach is on New York City land, and the Navy has for some years occupied it, although its permit had expired. This situatiion apparently afforded little hope of Federal expenditures for permanent im- provements. On September 12, 1928, the Armory Board of the City of New York cancelled this expired permit and transferred the property to the Naval Militia for use of its Air Squadrons. The Navy is still accorded all of its former privileges, and contin- ues its allowances for current maintenance and operating expenses, but certain permanent improvements are necessary to facilitate training and to promote safety and applications for same are now under consideration by the Armory Board of the City of New York. Lieutenant John W. Iseman, Air Squadrons N. Y. N. M., partici- pated in the National Air Derby from New York to Los Angeles, California. His plane unfortunately was forced to land in Ari- zona. None of the other entrants were successful in completing the flight. The efforts of this officer were favorably noted in public 'comments on the flight, and reflected credit upon the Naval Militia. 8. The U. S. S. Sturgeon Bay, which broke from her moorings during a gale on December 8, 1927, was sold by the Navy Depart- ment after all Federal, State, County and Organization property had been removed. The loss of. this ship was felt most acutely during the summer months, as no facilities were available as a base for boat work. A boathouse should be built on that parcel of land now assigned to the Naval Militia adjacent to the City-built Naval Militia Pier at Buffalo, for the purpose of repairing and storing boats and equip- ment, and for use as a summer base. During the month of July the Navy Department assigned U.S. S. C. No. 103 to the Buffalo units. 34 ApPENDIX "B;" ADJUTANT-GENERAL '8 REPORT

9. During the year 1928, one member of the Naval Militia, Fred W. Bond, seaman 2nd class, 3rd Division, 3rd Battalion, was ap- pointed to the U. S. Naval Academy. 10. Too much emphasis cannot be placed upon the need for an armory for the 7th Separate Division at New Rochelle. This organization is at present quartered in a building which is soon to be demolished. Bills have been introduced without success in the Legislature for the past several years to provide for the erec- tion of an armory. Favorable action by the Legislature of 1929 is urgent to properly house this organization. New··armories for the units at Dunkirk and Niagara Falls are also required. 11. On September 15, 1928, under authority of Changes No. 11, Regulations, S. N. Y., the Naval Militia Table of Organization was changed to conform to its Federal Organization. In accordance therewith, General Order No. 16, A. G. O. December 22, 1928, has made provision to carry out these changes and they will shortly be completed. This will simplify administration in all commands by making their Militia status practically identical with their Federal status. Under the old plan of organization, there were both Deck Divisions and Engineer Divisions, and eight Stations having only Deck Divisions were for many years without formal authority to carry Engineer personnel. The units under the new organization corresponding to the old Deck and Engineer Divisions are all Fleet Divisions. These carry a balanced ship's complement with appro- priate numbers of deck, engineer and artificer personnel. All Sta- tions are thus authorized to carry personnel for all departments of a ship. The new organization is obviously a more practical one and better suited to the mission of the Naval Militia. Aviation Squadrons were not affected by these changes as they were already organized to conform to their Federal composition. 12. The report of the Navy Department on its inspections of Naval Militia and Naval Reserve for the year ending June 30,1928, awarded a merit figure of 8f2.8 to the 3rd Battalion, which was the highest in the State and second of all Battalions in the country. The 9th Fleet Division, 3rd Battalion, was awarded a merit figure of 90.3, which was also the highest in the State and second of all Divisions in the country. 13. Secondary Battery Practice was held during Annual 15-day Cruises .on Destroyers. An award of 158.366, the highest final merit in the State for the firing, was earned by the 4th Fleet Division of the 1st Hattalion. 14. The strength of the Naval Militia on December 31, 1928, was 2,038 officersand enlisted men, an increase of 136 over the preced- ing year end. In addition to this increase in strength, there was also improvement in attendance at drills, annual cruises, and at annual muster, as shown in paragraph 1 hereof. The 'efficiency and state of training of the Brigade as observed in the annual .inspections ashore and afloat, showed satisfactory advancement over previous years. (Signed) L. M.

Except the monument at Cedar Creek, Virginia, to the One Hundred and twenty-eighth Regiment, which was erected by the veteran. association itself without state aid, there is no memorial anywhere on a battle ground of the Civil War to any of the New York commands of the Nineteenth Army Corps. In the seige of Port Hudson, where the ijineteenth Corps was under the command of Major-General Nathaniel C. Banks, New York's troops sustained losses that totaled 1,461 (one-third of the entire casualties there), including 18 officers and 224 enlisted men killed land 13 officers and 206 enlisted men mortally wounded.

Those troops were in service in Louisiana for eighteen months, -from January, 1863 to July, 1864. They took an important part in the operations for the opening of the Lower Mississippi. They were engaged in actions and skirmishes along the Mississippi from New Orleans to Port Hudson; in the La Fourche country, and in the line of the Teche River from Brashear City or Ope'lousas, including the battles at Fort Bisland and Franklin, April 13 and 14, 1863. They were likewise in the Red River expedition, March to May, 1864, while some of the regiments were in the expedition to Sabine Pass, September, 1863. In Louisiana in 1863 and 1864 the total losses of New York's troops were 3,542, including 482 men killed and 382 mortally wounded. Ten of the New York regiments which were at Port Hudson fought in the Shenandoah Valley in General Sheridan's army; one of them was at Richmond and another at Petersburg and Appomattox. Those in the Shenandoah Valley took part in the fighting at Opequan, September 19, 1864, Fisher's Hill, September 22d, and Cedar Creek, October 19th. Those twelve regiments sustained losses in Virginia that totaled 1,788, including 253 m~n killed and 139 mortally wounded. Tennessee, and proceedings of dedication of the Central His- torical Memorial, or Peace Monument, on Lookout Mountain, was received from the State Printers in September, 1928. A few of the New York regiments that were with the Nineteenth Corps in Lousiana participated also in minor engagements in Missouri, Alabama, Florida and Marylan"d. It is true that there are no New York State monuments either at Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, the Shenandoah Valley, Cold Harbor, Richmond or Petersburg; but there are in- dividual monuments as well as a State monument for nearly all the New York commands engaged in those campaigns at the battle- field of Gettysburg, while the services of a large number of them are also commemorated in the New York State monuments in Antietam, Vicksburg, and Chattanooga. The matter of requesting the Legislature for an appropriation for erecting a memorial at Port Huds-on has been in abeyance for some twenty years. It was contemplated first by Major-General Daniel E. Sickles when he was chairman of the New York Monu- ments Commission. Respectfully submitted, (Signed) CHARLES A. SHAW, Chairman. APPENDIX E
