ANNUAL REPORT.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, The Adjutant General's Office,

State House, Boston, December 31, 1928.

To His Excellency the Governor mid Commander-in-Chief: In accordance with the provisions of Section 23 of Chapter 465 of the Acts of 1924, I hereby submit the Annual Report of the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia for the year ending December 31, 1928. Appended are the reports of the Chiefs of Departments, Staff Corps, Armory Commission, and organization commanders. Enrolled Militia. On December 31, 1928, the total enrolled militia of the Commonwealth was 731,288, a loss of 1,195 over 1927. National Guard. The organization of the Massachusetts National Guard remains the same as last year. The restrictions imposed by Congress and the Militia Bureau still remain and prevent any increase in numbers in the Guard. A recent decision of the Militia Bureau which will abolish the two Wagon Companies of the 26th Division Train on account of the impossibility of providing sufficient horses or mules to properly train these two units, will make it possible to merge these two units into a Military Police Company, the Medical Detach- ment for the 26th Division Headquarters and certain enlisted personnel for the State Staff Corps. If sufficient personnel can be provided, it may be possible to organize a Collecting Company for the 101st Medical Regiment. If these changes can be made it will leave only the Motorcycle Company and the Ordnance Maintenance Company to be organized to complete the 26th Division. The 26th Division performed its fifteen days' camp duty at Camp Devens but the several units of the Division carried out their training program as units. The tour of duty was successful and it is believed that the Division obtained considerable benefit from it. Other organizations of the Guard performed their camp duty as follows: 241st Coast Artillery, at Fort Wright, Long Island, New York. — Considerable improvement has been made at this post. There still remain, however, many important things to be done, such as providing concrete floors for the mess shacks, :

2 P.D. 7. new ice chests for the kitchens, and a certain amount of grading on the parade ground. A brick administration building has been erected out of National Guard funds, largely for the benefit of the National Guard Coast Artillery of New York. This office did not approve this project. The tour of duty was hampered by fog which interfered with target practice. The one Battery to complete its firing program was Battery E which had been on strike duty in New Bedford and was obliged to remain at Fort Wright one week during the period assigned to Connecticut. This was accomplished with the approval of the Connecticut authorities and was greatly appreciated by Massa- chusetts. 211th Coast Artillery at Sandwich, Massachusetts. — A good field of fire was found about six miles from the camp ground. Target practice at targets towed by airplane was successfully carried out and the firing was not hampered by fog and small boats. The firing was done out to sea and was very successful. It had been planned that the 26th Division Air Service should furnish a plane for towing the target, but a short time before camp we were notified that the Army was unable to furnish the towing apparatus and arrangements had to be made with the Commanding Officer, Mitchel Field. The plane carried out its mission in an excellent manner as it was able to land at the camp ground and so keep the oper- ator in touch with the situation and informed of his mission. 110th Cavalry encamped, as usual, at Quonset Point, Rhode Island — through the kindly cooperation of the Rhode Island authorities who allowed Massachu- setts to use her camp ground as heretofore. The organization worked out many problems in the surrounding country with considerable profit to the organization. 372d Infantry was at Camp Devens, as usual, and had a profitable tour of duty. The 26th Division Air Service went to Mitchell Field at Mineola, Long Island. — It is hoped that next year they will perform their tour of duty with the Division at Camp Devens. A field service landing field can be provided at the old Remount Station at Camp Devens and by using this as a base it is anticipated that the training of the squadron will be of more benefit to itself and the Division, than going to camp by itself. I'he Guard as a whole is showing a steady improvement. During the year 1928 there were 25 deaths, 56 desertions, 1,136 discharges by order, 3,475 discharges by expiration, 858 transfers to the National Guard Reserve, or a total of 5,550 separations from the service. There were 307 restorations to service and 5,599 enlistments, of which 2,379 were reenlistments, making a total of 5,906 enlistments, or a net gain in strength of 356 for the year. The Guard still continues to furnish recruits to the Army, Navy and Marine Corps and the Coast Guard. Recruits have been furnished to these branches as follows Army 82 Marine Corps 14 Navy 75 Coast Guard 17 The situation as regards property losses has improved greatly. Officers and men are beginning to realize their responsibility and accountability. A Board of Regular Army Officers has acted on the old accounts and the Militia Bureau having acted on their recommendations we are able to start the year with a clean slate. The cost of maintenance of armories has increased, as is to be expected, as many of these buildings are over thirty years old. Pointing and painting are the principal repairs that are now needed. Furniture is beginning to wear out and needs repairing. The Repair Shop which has been established at the Commonwealth Armory has been able to save much money by repairing tables, chairs, and desks. Some of the old lockers are rapidly reaching the point where they will have to be replaced. The old claim outstanding for claims for horses which grew out of the horse hire at the time of the Mexican Border Mobilization, has at last been settled, P.D. 7. 3 due principally to the efforts of Captain Horace B. Parker, M.N.G. Retired, on duty in the office of the State Quartermaster, who has persistently pressed the claim during all these years, and whose efforts have at last been rewarded by the receipt by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts of a check for $22,867.70 in settlement of this claim. This is a great victory for Captain Parker. On February 4, 1928, the Italian Ambassador was received at the State House. On May 19 President of the United States, Calvin Coolidge, came to Massachu- setts to be present at the 150th Anniversary Exercises of Phillips Academy at Andover, Massachusetts. On the same date His Excellency the Governor, Alvan T. Fuller, welcomed the Bremen Flyers. On May 25 Admiral Hyde of the Australian Navy paid his respects to His Excellency the Governor. On October 20 the West Point Cadets paraded in Boston and tendered a Review to His Excellency the Governor on Boston Common. One hundred and seven years ago the West Point Cadets came to Boston on August 7, 1821, and camped on Boston Common for a week. History repeated itself, for in 1821 His Excellency the Governor was escorted to Boston Common by the First Corps Cadets where a review was tendered him by the West Point Cadets, and one hundred and seven years later a detachment from the First Corps Cadets escorted His Excellency to the Common where he was again tendered a Review by the West Point Cadets. On September 11, 1928, Major General William Stopford, a former Adjutant General, passed away at his home in Beverly. General Stopford had long service in the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia and served from March 29, 1875, to January 4, 1906, when he was placed on the Retired List. He saw service in the Spanish-American War and was The Adjutant General from January 5, 1905, to January 4, 1906. On March 21, 1928, Major General Edward L. Logan, commanding the 26th Division, was retired by operation of law. Brigadier Generals Alfred F. Foote and Thomas F. Foley were retired by operation of law on March 21 and 22, 1928, respectively. His Excellency the Governor and Commander-in-Chief appointed Brigadier General Alfred F. Foote as Major General commanding the 26th Division, and Colonels John D. Murphy and Albert C. Gray as Brigadier Generals commanding the 52d and 51st Brigades, respectively. The Training School, Massachusetts National Guard. The Training School, Massachusetts National Guard, established under orders dated October 17, 1927, has been continued successfully this year. The School opened November 26, 1927, with 51 Cadets and at the closing of the term in June, 1928, it had 35 Cadets. Of the 16 dropped from the rolls, 4 resigned and 12 were dropped from apparent lack of interest and failure to meet the requirements of the school. The school has been fortunate in obtaining the services of the following officers who lectured on the subjects enumerated: — Brigadier General Joel Goldthwaite, 0. R. C, "The Position of the Soldier"; Major J. A. Stevens, U. S. A., "The Organization of the Army" and "Infantry on the Battlefield"; Major William H. Blanchard, Mass. N. G., "Camp Sanitation"; Capt. T. G. Frothingham, O. R. C, "The Influence of American Tactics in the World War"; and Capt. Charles G. Frost, Mass. N. G., "Practical Instruction of the Automatic Pistol". Lt. Col. Porter B. Chase, Mass. N. G., and Lt. Col. Julian I. Chamberlain, Ar- tillery Reserve, have been of great assistance and have given freely of their time for the benefit of the school. Capt. Preston W. Smith, Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., Retired, deserves commendation for his work in coordinating the instruction with the latest Army School Practices. The Officers who acted as Tactical Instructors did excellent work for the school and their cooperation and loyalty have been greatly appreciated. The Tactical Instructors were Capt. Philip L. Brown, 110th Cavalry; Capt. Vincent P. Coyne, 241st Coast Artillery; Capt. Louis L. Morse, Aid, 26th Division Staff; and 1st Lt. Henry S. Derby, 101st Field Artillery. 4 P.D. 7. The first session of the school this year was held September 1. Sessions were held on the first Saturday and Sunday of each month. The school has been very successful and has more than realized our expectations. Communications School. A Communications School was held at the Commonwealth Armory for all communications details of the Guard and was so successful that some of the other New England States have asked permission to send their details to our school for instruction without expense to the Commonwealth. Army Service Schools. The prescribed courses at the Army Service Schools were taken by 15 officers and 7 enlisted men. These officers and enlisted men who have taken these courses not only benefited themselves by so doing, but have been of great benefit to the organizations to which they belong, as they have been able to impart the lessons they learned at these schools. Public Emergencies.

On February 2, 1928, a disastrous fire at Fall River caused the Mayor of the city to precept the local troops for the emergency. They were on duty for five days. A strike of textile workers in New Bedford caused the Mayor of that city to precept Battery D and the 2nd Bn. Hq. Btry. and Combat Train of the 101st Field Artillery as a precautionary measure and these organizations were on duty for two days. As the situation did not improve, and on account of camp duty which would leave the city without local troops, the Mayor of New Bedford on August 4 precepted Battery E, 241st Coast Artillery and this battery remained on duty until August 11. New Armories. The Air Service at East Boston and the company of the 101st Infantry at Nor- wood are still without adequate quarters. Certificates of War Service. The number of applications for World War Service Testimonials amounted to 35,441 of which 35,268 have been issued and the remainder 173 are either in process or awaiting records from Washington. In addition there have been issued 15 testimonials for Civil War Service, and 44 Certificates for Spanish-American War Service, and 352 certificates for Mexican Border Service. Civil and Spanish War Records. As the Commissioner on War Records, the report of the Director of the work of preparing the Civil War Records for pubhcation is adopted as the Report of the Commissioner, as follows:

"The greater part of the year has been spent by the Mihtary Archivist and his assistant in continuing the work of correcting and perfecting the records of the Massachusetts soldiers who served in the Civil War. This work was begun over a year ago, and the typed sheets of the three years' regiments from the 1st to the 18th had been completed at the time of the rendering of our last report. During the year now closing the typed sheets of all the regiments to and including the 58th Regiment have been examined and corrected. The chief object in view has been to see that every battle casualty should be correctly recorded both as to date and place; that when a soldier died of wounds the fact should be so stated; that if he was discharged for wounds, that fact should be made clear. Where a soldier was severely wounded, sent to a hospital, and later discharged from that hospital for disability, with no disease or illness mentioned, it has been assumed that he must have been discharged for wounds. In most cases all these facts are clear on the original records. "The work of perfecting the records of the infantry regiments is almost done. There remains to be corrected the typed sheets of the cavalry, heavy artillery, and light batteries, with those of the men from Massachusetts who served in the regular army. This work will be continued through the coming year. :

P.D. 7. 5 "Our records of the soldiers, sailors and marines from Massachusetts who served in the Spanish-American War and Philippine Insurrection are very complete excepting as to those who enlisted in the U. S. Regular Army. By direct correspondence with the War Department during the past year 65 names of Spanish War soldiers or of men who served in the Philippine Islands have been added to our lists with their military records. By correspondence with the Navy Depart- ment and the headquarters of the U. S. Marine Corps, the names and records of 17 sailors and 3 marines have also been secured. Through a careful examination of Heitman's "Historical Register and Dictionary of the United States Army", an unofficial but very accurate work issued from the Government Printing Office, supplemented by reference to the current Official Army Register, the names and records of about 125 Massachusetts officers who served during the Spanish War or Philippine Insurrection have been secured which were not before listed in the files of this office. "The above work has been almost hourly interrupted by requests for certificates of service, verbal requests for information, the answering of letters of inquiry regarding military historical matters, assistance in the preparation of town lists of soldiers and sailors, etc. Some of the work here referred to is analyzed as follows "(a) The preparation of 1,400 certificates of service of Civil or Spanish War soldiers, sailors and marines. " {b) The writing of over 400 letters regarding individual records of service or other military matters. Often the framing of an intelligent and accurate reply to a letter of inquiry involves considerable historical research. "(c) The transmission to the Honorable Secretary of the Commonwealth of 90 or more requests for records of Revolutionary service. "(d) The preparation of cards and the addition to our files of over 200 new individual records of officers and men who served in the Spanish War and Philip- pine Insurrection period. " (e) The recording of the citation on the card of every man from Massachu- setts who during that same period received a Congressional Medal of Honor." World War Records.

The report of the Section Chief in charge of World War records is adopted as the report of The Adjutant General as follows:

"Through an additional appropriation of $1,500, made available at the last session of the State Legislature, it has been possible to continue the work commenced in 1927 of obtaining from the Bureau of Navigation such additional information as is necessary to complete the Naval service records originally furnished. Out of this appropriation information has been supplied for 14,112 records of which number 9,224 have had the data typed on the original record cards. There remains a balance of $247.25 which it is believed will bring the number of records thus completed to approximately 16,500 or a total of 39,000 for the two years. This will leave a balance of approximately 4,100 enlisted service records and 4,680 commissioned officers' records uncompleted, and which will require an additional appropriation. "During the latter part of the year the War Department resumed, under their original agreement, the work of furnishing a list of the battle participations of our overseas soldiers. This information is being furnished on typewritten lists previously prepared in this office. Progress on this work is slow but is receiving the attention of the War Department from time to time insofar as the current work of that office may permit. These data have been received for 1,525 records, since the work was resumed, and is being added to the individual record cards as fast as received. This leaves a balance of approximately 68,500 records incomplete as to battle participation. "During the year 16,328 completed records have been added to the file in which the individual records are allocated to the city or town of their credit. This makes a total of approximately 69,338 records thus filed. "Since my last annual report 107 new army records and 14 new navy records, not previously furnished, have been received. In nearly every case it was neces- 6 P.D. 7. sary to inform the War and Navy Departments of the non-receipt of these records and request that they be suppHed. "The general work of the office has included: " (a) Furnishing 4,417 certificates of World War Service for state and military aid, civil service, and various other purposes. There has been a yearly increase since 1926 in the number of certificates of service that have been applied for and issued which at that time numbered only 3,864. "(6) Issuing 467 certificates of selective service draft registrations in connection with individual applications to the United States Naturalization Office for citizenship. "(c) Certifying to the eligibility of 1,855 applications for the Massachusetts World War Testimonial. "(d) Handling and answering 1,825 letters and communications received which related to the activities of this division. This figure does not include written requests for certificates of war service of which there were 938. " (e) Referred to the War and Navy Departments at Washington, 1,892 records for correction or completion. These are not included in the figures hereinbefore quoted setting forth the number of army records to which battle participations were added or the navy records amended under the special appropriation provided for that purpose. "(/) Typing 3,138 records on permanent card forms of which approximately 1.200 remain to be checked and filed in their respective city and towTi allocation. This may seem to be a small number of records to have been permanently carded over a period of a year, but it should be borne in mind that a year ago I reported approximately 13,500 records had been carded that remained unchecked. Until these were disposed of no more records were carded." Rifle Practice.

Improvement in rifle qualifications has been quite marked. More men tried but failed to qualify than last year. The fact that more men tried to qualify than before shows more interest was taken. The rifle is the main weapon of defense and a soldier who cannot shoot is worth- less as a soldier. It is hoped that next year will show a marked improvement in this branch of military instruction. Pistol qualifications show an encouraging increase. No qualifications with the automatic rifle have been reported. Machine gun qualifications show an increase. On the whole the results are encouraging and those responsible for training in this important part of the work are to be commended for the results of this year. The State Competition was held at Camp Curtis Guild and the Tri-Color was awarded to the 182d Infantry. The United Services Matches were held as usual but not enough interest was shown in them by National Guard organizations. Through the kindness of Colonel Charles Hayden, formerly of the Massachu- setts National Guard, a new Hayden Trophy has been provided, to be shot for annually. This is a very handsome trophy, and one that is indicative of rifle shooting. The Trophy was designed by Mr. John F. Paramino and represents a marksman in the kneeling position. In the National Matches, Massachusetts finished twenty-seventh among all the teams, being second in Class C. The Civilian Team from Massachusetts under the captaincy of Lt. Comdr. W. K. Queen, U. S. N. R., finished twenty-first among all teams, being sixth in Class B. The Police Pistol Team from Massachusetts was represented by the Weymouth Police Department. They took ninth place in the Pistol Shooting Pohce Team Match. Massachusetts must work hard to regain the place which she used to hold in the shooting game. For a total report of the work of the Ordnance Department see the report of that Department appended. P.D. 7. 7 Army Instructors. There have been some changes in our Regular Army Instructors, owing to the termination of their detail with Massachusetts, but the new instructors appear to be of the same type as those who have preceded them. The Guard is fortunate in the type of instructors assigned to us. We are particularly fortunate to have as the Senior Instructor, Colonel Albert W. Foreman, Infantry, who in collaboration with General Foote is conducting schools for the 26th Division, which are going to be of great benefit not only to the Division but to the entire Guard as well. We now have nine Regular Army officers assigned as Instructors of Infantry, one officer detailed who has not yet reported, three officers for coast artillery, three for field artillery, one for engineers, one for cavalry, one for the air corps, one for signal company, one for medical department, and one for the quartermaster corps, making a total of twenty-two instructors. These officers are all doing good work and cooperate finely with the officers of the Guard. There should be an assistant to the Senior Instructor. At present he has more than he can do in conducting schools for the Division and coordinating the work of the other instructors. Office Administration. The Intelligence Section has worked hard during the year and has had more matters referred to it than ever before. This work has been divided into three parts: (1) Instruction in Military In- telligence for commissioned and enlisted personnel of the Guard; (2) General Intelligence work; (3) Investigation of military and other matters which have been referred to it for investigation. Under the second heading a great deal of work has been done in cleaning up property accounts of the accountable officers of the Guard. Great credit is due for the present condition of the property accounts. We start the New Year with a clean sheet, all the old accounts having been adjusted and settled. Under the third heading so many matters have been referred for investigation that the work has not been completed. There were 29,443 pieces of mail received and 48,965 pieces sent out during the year. The recorded correspondence amounted to 7,513 pieces. The morale of the office is excellent and all appear to be anxious to make the office more efficient and of more benefit to the Guard. The Adjutant General desires to express his appreciation for the cordial cooperation of the entire office force. JESSE F. STEVENS, Brigadier General, A. G. D., The Adjutant General, Massachusetts. REPORT OF THE ARMORY COMMISSIONERS. To The Adjutant General: The Armory Commissioners have made the usual visits of inspection to the various armories of the Commonwealth during the past year. There has been no new construction during the year, but the Armory Commis- sioners have recommended in their annual budget appropriations for new construction which they believe is pressing.

To The Adjutant General: The following report for the Intelligence Section of the Adjutant General's De- partment is herewith submitted for the year ending December 31, 1928.— The work during the past year has been divided under the following headings : 1. Instruction in Military Intelligence for the commissioned and enlisted personnel of the Massachusetts National Guard. 2. General Intelligence work. 3. Investigation of matters referred to this section on military and other matters. First: Under this heading the winter instruction was held at the armories. There have been a larger number of maps issued for the various organizations this year, and the work in this instruction seems to be making good progress. The Intelligence personnel has changed but little during the past year and its work has been very good. Second: The work under this heading has increased over the past year. The property work has taken a great deal of time. Third: The work in this section has increased during the past year. There have been so many matters referred to this section, and so much special work to do, that at the present time the work for the current year is but partially completed. In closing the writer wishes to thank the Adjutant General for his consideration and kindness during the past year, and also to express his gratitude to the officers who have assisted him in the work of the section. ROBERT 0. DALTON, Dec. 3, 1928. Major, A. G. D. REPORT OF THE STATE INSPECTOR. To The Adjutant General:

1. Herewith is submitted the report of the Inspector General's Department covering the year 1928. 2. Detailed reports covering Armory and Camp Inspections are on file in the office of The Adjutant General. 3. In the Armory Inspections there were but three units that were marked unsatisfactory and placed on probation. Two of these have since received satisfactory ratings. The ratings of the majority of the companies were "good" and "very good"; some units received rating of "excellent". 4. The Guard appears to be in a healthy condition from the strength point of view, although there are doubtless a number of men all through the different units who are dead-wood and should be weeded out. In some cases units will keep men on their rolls that they never see, for the purpose of having an organization up to strength, some of whom are but paper. 5. The property situation in the State is about cleaned up due to the efforts of a Board of Regular Army Officers, and the cooperation of Lt. Col. Frank J. KiUilea, U. S. Property and Disbursing Officer, and Major Robert O. Dalton, Intelligence Section, Adjutant General's Department. The property shortages and overages have been adjusted with the Militia Bureau and the State relieved from a great deal of paper shortage. From now on it is believed that responsible officers cannot dodge responsibility and as long as they keep a proper check on their property, quicker adjustments will be made. Attention again is called to recommendation that there be closer supervision over property by organization comnianders, and the ordering of transfer of property of responsible officers by organization commanders to other individuals or units without the proper procedure of shipping tickets should not be permitted. 6. Administration is improving. During the past year it is found there were very few errors and these careless omissions. Administration also should be closely followed by organization commanders. There is a great deal still lacking in rifle and pistol qualifications, principally due to lack of funds for transportation and target hire. It is hoped that this will be remedied to a certain extent before long by the abohshing of target hire charges at Wakefield. .

P.D. 7. 11

7. The Training School for officers is proving its worth. Because of press of business, Lt. Col. Frank Gibbs requested relief as Commandant. While that is to be regretted, his place has been ably taken by Major William D. Cottam of the Coast Artillery. 8. The tours of camp duty were well performed. Again the 110th Cavalry had 100% present and should be commended. The transfer of the camp site of the 211th Artillery from Fort H. G. Wright to Sandwich was a great improvement and this organization benefited greatly by the change. It is hoped that this camp will be a permanent affair. Weather conditions were poor for firing service practice in the 241st Artillery so that this important training had to be omitted. 9. A complete turn-over with the subsequent change of policies took place in the Headquarters of the 26th Division. The camp itself was practically a regimental camp, each organization following out its own program without interference from Division Headquarters. The Staff of the Division Headquarters was under rigid instruction given by Colonel Albert W. Foreman and his assistants, and it is believed that they benefited greatly by this necessary schooling. 10. Discipline and military courtesy in the camps was of a high order and the National Guard of Massachusetts continues to make its steady advance in all lines. Recommendations have been made to separate State Staff Officers from duties with the Division Staff. This went into effect this year and justified the predictions of the State Inspector General, there being less chance of friction and overlapping of duties. 1 1 The same officers were detailed as assistants to the State Inspector General, and thej^ continued to render the fine service that is expected of them. 12. In closing, the State Inspector General wishes to express his appreciation for the support given him by The Adjutant General, and the officers of the State Stafif Corps and Departments, as well as the clerical personnel in the Adjutant General's Oflice. 13. The relations between the State Inspector General and the commanding officers of the various organizations were most pleasant and all criticisms and suggestions have been taken in a kindly way. H. D. CORMERAIS, Lt. Col., Inf., Mass. N. G., State Inspector, Mass. REPORT OF THE STATE JUDGE ADVOCATE. To The Adjutant General:

1. The following report of the Judge Advocate General's Department for the year 1928 is herewith submitted. 2. During the legislative year the Military Department was represented at all hearings of the Committee on Military Affairs and at those hearings of the Committee on Ways and Means which affected the Military establishment. 3. The Department has been represented at twenty-six hearings on the Board of Claims for Physical Injuries and at two hearings on the Board of Claims for Property Damage. 4. Forty-three claims for personal injuries and twelve claims for property damage have been reported to this office, investigated and proper action taken thereon. 5. Thirty-two opinions and decisions on various military matters have been rendered, eight leases covering armory accommodations have been examined and approved and three agreements and contracts have been examined and approved. 6. Twenty-three trials of enlisted men by summary court martial have been reported, twenty-two of which resulted in conviction and one in acquittal. The aggregate punishments consisted of commitment in jail for a term of one hundred and seventeen days and fines of one hundred and nine dollars. RALPH M. SMITH, Dec. 27, 1928. Lt. Col., M. N. G., State Judge Advocate. 12 P.D. 7. REPORT OF THE STATE ORDNANCE OFFICER. To The Adjutant General: I herewith submit my report as State Ordnance Officer for the calendar year 1928. Personnel. There has been no change in the personnel of this office. The State Ordnance Officer with Major Nash and Capt. Marshall performed their field training at Camp Devens from July 7th to July 21st inclusive. Lieut. Thanisch performed his field training at Camp Devens from July 21st to August 4th inclusive. Materiel. With a few minor exceptions, two rifles, gallery practice, cal. .22 model 1922 have been issued to every authorized unit. First Lieut. Rudolph J. Thanisch attended the annual meeting of the Army Ordnance Association which was held at Aberdeen Proving Grounds on October 4th. A new fire control of the fixed mount 3" anti-aircraft gun was demonstrated, in which, the laying of the entire battery is controlled electrically and, if necessary, from a distant point. The gun crew's only work is to keep the gun loaded. Reasonably satisfactory accuracy was obtained. Two batteries of 75's, one horse- drawn and the other tractor drawn, demonstrated their ability to go into action. The horse-drawn battery seemed the more speedy, although it should be borne in mind that the animals were not fatigued. Many other developments were demonstrated. Indoor Rifle Qualifications.

It is gratifying to report improvement in the Indoor Rifle Qualifications. Reports from 78 units (48 units reporting in the preceding year) and covering a total of 3,051 men required to fire (1,934 men in the preceding year) show that 39.7% qualified. This is exactly the same percentage as shown in 1927. More men tried but failed to qualify, the percentage being 20% (18% in the preceding year). Those who did not fire decreased from 37% last year to 31% this year. From the fact that more men have tried to qualify than before, it is apparent that more interest is being taken in this very important training for qualifications with the service rifle. Of those men who were not required to fire (which includes those who qualified in the preceding outdoor season) the percentage of those who qualified dropped from 41% to 31%. State Indoor Rifle Competition. The conditions of this match required each team to shoot two preliminary matches on its home range. The high team in each organization was awarded a prize cup. These teams then fired a final match on a range other than their home range. These final matches were conducted by the officers of the Ordnance Department. Of the 116 units equipped wth the Cal. .22, Model 1922, Spring- field Rifle, ninety units entered teams in the competition, and eighty-two teams finished. The scores were as follows: Preliminary Final Team. Matches. Match. lOlst Infantry Company I 1,448 181st Infantry Company K 104th Infantry Company F 182nd Infantry Company D 241st C. A.

No. 24, Nov. 25, 1927, supple- menting A. R. 345-1000, the consolidated reports of qualification firing are much more intelligible than heretofore. Reports from nine organizations required to fire the rifle having a strength of 4,754 men as against the same number of organizations having a strength of 4,835 men in the preceding year, show qualifications as expert 4.3% (3.9% in the preceding year), qualifications as sharpshooter 7,9% (8.3% in the preceding year), qualifications as marksman 31.1% (29.5% in the preceding year) and men not qualified 56.5% (58.1% in the preceding year). It appears that those who were unqualified in the preceding year are now breaking into the qualification grades and that recruits, either through indoor range practice or otherwise, are becoming better shots. Quahfications with the pistol show an encouraging increase. Reports from 16 organizations (14 in the preceding year) and having a strength of 4,169 men (5,352 in the preceding year) show that qualifications as expert were 4.7% (2.7% in the preceding year) qualifications as sharpshooter 7.2% (4.5% in the preceding year) qualifications as marksman 17.0% (12.1% in the preceding year) and men who completed the course but failed to qualify 15.8% (18% in the preceding year). This is a very satisfactory showing. No qualifications have been reported with the automatic rifle. Reports of machine gun qualifications received from 5 organizations (4 in the preceding year) having a strength of 618 men (594 in the preceding year) show qualifications as expert gunner 6.7% (4.2% in the preceding year) 1st class gunner 11.1% (15.3% in the preceding year) 2nd class gunner 15.2% (15.8% in the preceding year), those who failed to qualify 14.8% (13.4% in the preceding year) and those who did not fire 51.2% (54.7% in the preceding year). It, therefore, appears that more men have fired the course and that although slightly fewer qualifications were made, those who qualified bettered their previous scores. Organization Outdoor Rifle Competition. In order to promote competition within each regiment, or similar organization, and to aid practice in anticipation of the State Rifle Competition, this oflSce offered a prize cup for competition in each regiment or separate organization rifle. armed with a ' Each competition was under the direction of its organization commander, upon whose reports units were awarded the prize cups as follows:

The method of selecting the candidates for the State Team followed closely the method used in 1927. As soon as the weather permitted shooting, score cards were issued to each candidate for the team and he was required to fire a certain number of shots under prescribed conditions once each week. Fewer candidates than usual enrolled. On June 30th, July 1st, and July 2nd, all promising candidates shot in a tryout at Camp Curtis Guild. Those selected at this tryout reported at Camp Curtis Guild on July 22nd. The team left for Camp Perry on August 25th, 1928, with the following: Tea7n Ca'ptain. Lt. Col. Charles C. Stanchfield, Ord.

From the outset, it was apparent that the elimination rules would deny us the assistance of some of our best shooters. This, of course, was to be expected and could not be prevented. The lack of new material was, however, very discourag- ing. Those who came out for the team worked hard and loyally, but their numbers were so few that very little latitude was possible in selecting the team. The only remedy for this condition is to increase interest in rifle shooting. It is hoped that the recent appointment of Regimental Inspectors of Ritle Practice will accomplish this result. It should be borne in mind, however, that a candidate for the team must be able and willing to give up his business for three consecutive months. The ballistic qualities of the Mark I ammunition issued at Camp Perry and required to be used in the National Matches were considerably inferior to those of preceding years. All members of the squad who were eligible for the team were required to use Mark I ammunition throughout the N. R. A. Matches. Eden, however, shot ammunition of the previous year. United Services of N. E. Matches. These matches are shot at Wakefield, Mass., about one week before the teams leave for Camp Perry. The presence of teams from the Marine Corps, Navy, Mass. National Guard, New Jersey National Guard, organizations and units of the Mass. National Guard, Civilian Rifle Clubs and Civilians, furnish excellent competition in preparing for the National Matches. This year the competitors were grouped into three classes in most of the matches, as follows: fService, National Guard, and Civilians. In the following list, showing the performance of individuals and teams from the State Rifle Team, the places are those in the National Guard class, with a few exceptions.

In response to the demand for a division of places and prizes between the various classes of shooters at Camp Perry, a radical change was this year made. Suit- able medals were given to the ten high men irrespective of the group to which they belonged. In determining cash prizes, all competitors were divided into three classes: (1) Regular. (2) National Guard and Organized Reserve. (3) Civil- ians. Members of the Massachusetts National Guard Team won the following medals against all comers:

Members Match: Eden 4th, Bronze Badge. N. R. A. Rapid Fire Championship: Eden 2nd, Bronze Badge. United Services Match: Eden (2d high man on N. G. team) Bronze Badge.

Inspection of Outdoor Ranges. No new ranges for the National Guard have been inspected during the current year. The range at Clinton, which was closed in 1927, has not been sufficiently repaired to warrant its being re-opened. It is understood that the work on the new Hudson Range is completed, but no request for inspection and opening of the range has been received up to the preparation of this report. Inspection of N. R. A. Rifle Clubs. Inspection has been made of the personnel and range facilities of the following rifle clubs Phillips Academy Gun Club, Andover. Hudson Post 100, American Legion Rifle Club, Hudson. Gloucester Rifle and Pistol Club, Gloucester. Boy Scouts' Rifle Club, Greenfield. Fidelity Post Rifle Club, V. F. W. 1011, Peabody. Abraham Lincoln Post, V. W. W., Charlestown.

G., State Ordnance Officer. REPORT OF THE STATE QUARTERMASTER. To The Adjutant General: I forward herewith my annual report for the fiscal year ending November 30, 1928. Armories. The usual repairs have been made on the armories, insofar as funds would permit, with special attention paid to each of two basic principles of repair, namely (a) The reconstruction of the hot water systems to permit the use of the central heating plant during the winter months, and a coal heater during the summer months. This system has proved both economical and highly satisfactory. (6) The system of electric lighting shall be changed to a modern system as fast as funds will permit. The condition of the Armory buildings is steadily improving and it is expected within a short time that all the serious defects that have developed will be remedied. An effort has been made to repaint at least the head-house in several of the Armories each year. In this repainting standard colors are used to gain uniformity and to secure a cheerful and well-lighted interior. Arsenal.

Attention is invited to the pressing need for a new storehouse building at the Arsenal to replace the old mess hall built during the War and which is now used to house wheeled vehicles. It is believed that the substitution of a metal building erected on a concrete foundation of the "raft" type and located near the other buildings of the Arsenal should not be further delayed. Federal Inspectors are increasingly insistent that the Federal property stored in the old building is not properly housed. The metal building mentioned above could be of the portable type and its erection would be an economical way to meet the situation. 20 P.D.7. The distance of the old mess hall from the buildings of the Arsenal proper makes it difficult to set up a proper watch at night, especially during incl6ment weather. The use of the vacant portion of the old training ground is restricted due to the fire hazard constituted by the old building. Camp Curtis Guild. The year at Camp Curtis Guild has been one of increased activity as is shown by the table of use added below. In addition to the Service Teams of the Marine Corps and the Navy, who have used the range every year before the National Matches, was the team of the United States Coast Guard which was estabhshed under the tutelage of the Ma- rine Corps, as a result of the use by the Coast Guard of the range for qualification from April to the end of June. During the summer the following National Rifle Match Teams got their pre- match practice: The United States Marine Corps, the United States Navy, the United States Coast Guard, the National Guard of Massachusetts, and the Civil- ian Rifle Team of Massachusetts. The success of the United Service Matches this year is very gratifying to all concerned. As a detailed report, however, is a part of the report of the State Ordnance Officer it is only necessary here to say that it is the intention on our part to do everything possible to increase the facilities offered to this most important activity. During the year the lower part of the Administrative building was repaired and refinished, with the result that a very attractive general room is at the disposal of all users of the Range. The kitchen has been repainted and furnished with a new refrigerator, and with the assistance of funds received from the State Ord- nance Officer the old storeroom on the easterly end of the building has been transformed into a very pleasing mess haU for the use of the Ordnance Department. Funds received from the Federal Government enabled us to extend the 200 yard butts for a distance of 200 feet and increased the target capacity at this range to 42 targets. Federal funds also enabled us to replace the old butt houses which were of wood and were a constant fire hazard, with metal houses erected on concrete bases. It is desired to take this opportunity to express our appreciation of the fine co-operation we have received from the authorities of the Mihtia Bureau. It is believed that by the end of the following fiscal year all of the buildings (32) win have been placed in a condition of good repair, including exterior painting. There seems to be only one difficulty which we are apparently powerless to over- come, namely, the repair of the road leading into the Camp. Under the conditions of the Act governing the operation of Camp Curtis Guild the undersigned is unable to finance the construction of a proper road. It is hoped that by the end of the next fiscal year the tunnel running from the firing point to the various ranges up to the 600 yard butt will be weU on the way to complete replacement. During the Fall, with the co-operation of the State Ordnance Officer, it has been possible to begin the development of a new pistol range by excavating a portion of the hill in the rear of the 800 yard firing point. It is proposed in the spring to install 25 pistol targets at this point, thus relieving the more or less dangerous situation which has existed under the old distribution of pistol targets on the range proper. Below are the figures which show the use of the Range by the various branches of the service: Number Firing. National Guard 5,975 U. S. Navy 218

U. S. Marine Corps . . 274 U. S. Coast Guard 1,194 Civilians 1,366

Total 9,027 P.D. 7. 21 Post Quartermaster Sergeants. During the year the Commonwealth lost the services of six Post Quartermaster Sergeants either through death or retirement. This opportunity is taken to record our appreciation of the long and faithful service of these men who, as Arm- orers, have served for the years indicated in the following table:

Frank F. Cutting . . .12 years Wilham Barry . . .15 years

Merit P. Alderman . . 20 years Everard Whittemore . . 18 years Thomas Burke ... 16 years John T. Burke ... 37 years Camp Devens. From year to year we have recorded our hopes that the time would shortly arrive when Camp Devens would be placed on a basis that would make possible its use by the National Guard troops of Massachusetts yearly, and the National Guard troops of other New England states from time to time. It will be recalled that the efforts made to arrive at a happy solution of the problem have covered a period of practically six years. During this period the relations of the National Guard authorities and the authorities at Camp Devens have been of unfailing cordiality and co-operation. In February last the undersigned was directed by The Adjutant General to submit to the Militia Bureau a carefully worked out plan for the future development of Camp Devens from the standpoint of the needs of the National Guard of Massachusetts. This plan was considered in a series of conferences, covering a period of five days, by the proper officers of the MiUtia Bureau, representatives of G-3 and G-4 of the General Staff, and a representative of the Office of the Quartermaster General of the Army. The result cf the conference was the adoption of a plan which has received the approval of the Corps Area Commander, and which it is confidently expected will be put into operation before the end of the Government fiscal year of 1929. Since the concurrence of all concerned in the above-mentioned plan the activities connected with the maintenance and development of the National Guard have been co-ordi- nated to fit into the plan itself. Early in the Summer the Secretary of War directed that a Board be appointed to delimit the National Guard Area. This Board consisted of the following officers:

Brigadier General William P. Jackson, U. S. Army. Colonel William K. Naylor, 13th Inf., U. S. Army. Colonel Daniel Needham, 101st F. A., Mass. N. G. Lieut. Colonel Harry G. Chase, State Q. M., Mass. N. G. Lieut. Col. Edmund A. Buchanan, General Staff, U. S. Army.

The Board convened at Camp Devens and personally inspected the Area in question, and set off a portion, which is to be marked by proper boundary marks, known as the Dehmited National Guard Area. The Militia Bureau is prepared to expend an adequate sum of money to make the necessary improvements or repairs to the buildings, roads, and water system which will amount in a period of five years to possibly $150,000, at the most not more than $200,000, which will result in the rehabihtation of the buildings so that there will be no question about their safety and adequacy for a further period of ten years. Beginning October 1st, the Camp went on a caretaker basis and work is being carried out through the winter under the "purchase and hire principle." It is further confidently expected that within a few weeks the Secretary of War will authorize the expenditure of $75,000 for the further prosecution of the work. The work already done at Camp Devens is very satisfactory and points most definitely to a successful accomplishment of the project. It should be mentioned here that the National Guard authorities of the Com- monwealth have been ably assisted in this work by The Adjutants General of the other New England states. HARRY G. CHASE, Lt. Col., State Quartermaster, Mass. Dec. 31, 1928. 22 P.D. 7. REPORT OF THE STATE SURGEON. To The Adjutant General:

Following is the annual report of the Medical Department for the year 1928: There were 726 applicants for State Aid examined during the year. Examinations of apphcants for State Police Patrol have totalled approximately 850, and inoculation against typhoid of the entire force has been completed. As a result of hearings before the Board on Claims for Deaths and Injuries, awards totalling $9,298.68 have been made. Much improvement was noted over last year during the annual tour of field duty, due to a concerted effort in the functioning of company and staff officers in the Medical Regiment, and the detachments all showed the benefit of the armory instruction given them throughout the year. Due to a program of instruction outhned by this office, and supervised by the Federal Instructor, much improvement was noted in the detachments, and still more could be made in the selection of a higher type of men, physically. For the past few years the "Summary of Requests for Maintenance" in our annual estimate of the following year's expenses, has included an urgent petition for an appropriation to cover the expenses of sending officers of the Medical Department to attend the annual convention of the Association of Military Sur- geons, and this year, in addition, the convention of the Association of Medical Regiments. The importance of the knowledge gained at these conventions, especially that of the Association of Military Surgeons, cannot be overestimated. The association holds conventions once a year in some part of the United States and has always present as delegates, medical officers from foreign armies including those of England, France, Italy and Mexico, and in the past from Russia, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Spain. The exchange of views presented in papers read before the convention, and demonstrations made, make it a very valuable instruction period. Medical officers who would be willing to give up time from their practice, which would mean loss of income from it, would do so because of their special interest in medical mihtary matters and because they realize the individual benefit to be obtained by their attendance, and should be partly reimbursed by being given their pay of grade as well as their actual expenses, in order that there may spread among those members of the Medical Department who do not attend the annual convention, the knowledge they have obtained. This knowledge cannot help being considerable, and cannot be obtained in any other way, because of the fact that only here may one come into contact with representatives of the U. S. Army, Navy, and Public Health Service, but also with representatives of armies of other countries. The subjects treated at these conventions are very seldom those that could be treated at medical schools or the ordinary civilian medical society, being almost entirely military from the standpoint of the Medi- cal Department. Every year the United States Army and Navy do all they can, without the issuance of orders, to strongly suggest the attendance of National Guard officers in order that they may participate in such instruction which can be obtained in no other way. The conventions have been held in Baltimore, CarHsle Barracks, Denver, Philadelphia, Chicago and New York. In 1929, the convention will be held in either Denver, Colorado, or Dallas, Texas. The return of these officers from the convention would necessitate a report of their activities, which report would be circulated among the medical officers of the whole State. Evidence of the value of information gained by the attendance of Medical Officers at the 1928 Field Officers' Course at the Medical Field Service School, Carlisle Barracks, Pa., which information was subsequently disseminated throughout the Medical Department, may be obtained from the following extracts from one Medical Officer's report: "Students came from the National Guard and the Organized Reserve, the majority coming from the Eastern States, although the West was represented by officers from Idaho, Colorado, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Most of the students were Medical Officers although- we had a few Dental and Veterinary officers who seemed to do as well as the others and to get as much from the course. A few of P.D. 7. 23 the students with insufficient preliminary training were dropped from the course at the end of September. "Immediately after reporting and being assigned to our quarters, we were sent to the Station Hospital where we were given a very thorough phj^sical examination. "The entire class was quartered and messed at the officers club where we had every accommodation and every courtesy extended to us. "We were formed into a provisional company under the command of the rank- ing officer of the class; acting non-commissioned officers were appointed and each officer assigned to a place in ranks. This formation was used when we went to and from ceremonies; during school hours we were not allowed to forget that we were in the Army. "Our day's work in the class-room or in the field began at 8.00 a.m. and ended anywhere from 3.00 to 5.00 p.m. After class work we were ordered to take at least an hour for exercise, having a choice of golf, tennis, swimming, or riding. In the evening we had enough reading and studying to keep us busy until bedtime. "The school was divided into five departments — namely, the Department of Training, the Department of Military Art, the Department of Sanitation, the Department of Administration, and the Department of Logistics. The Dental and Veterinary Corps are represented on the faculty by members who give instruction pertaining to their services. "The applicatory method, consisting of conferences, lectures, demonstrations, problems, and terrain and field exercises was employed. "The course covered the following: "(a) Training Management, Methods of Training and Mobilization. The purpose of this subject was to familiarize the student with the doctrines, principles, and methods of training as set forth in T R 10-5. The instruction deals primarily with the duties of Medical Department officers in the training and preparation for mobilization of the other components of the Army of the United States. It sets forth the psychology of training, the object, responsibility, supervision and methods of training, the preparation of training orders, programs and schedules; the laws, regulations and plans of mobilization ; the preparation of branch and unit mobilization plans; and practical problems covering specific phases of training and mobilization. These seemingly very dry and difficult subjects were made clear and interesting by Captain Taylor who during the War was a Medical Officer in our own Division. " (6) Topography. This subject covered map reading, map sketching, and the interpretation of aerial photographs. This subject was very ably handled by Major Wunderlich, the senior Dental Officer. " (c) Organization and Tactics. This course presents a general knowledge of the organization of the land forces of the United States, the organization of the War Department, and the organization and tactics of the various branches. Particular emphasis was laid on the study of the Infantry Division and its components. This course also presents to the students knowledge of the organization and operation of the medical service for the separate and combined arms of the military service, special attention being given to the organization and employment of regimental and battalion medical detachments with infantry, cavalry, and artillery, and to the divisional medical service with infantry and cavalry. "Major MacDonald who taught the same subjects to many of us at the A. E. F. school at Langres made all of us realize that it takes much more than a good physician and surgeon to make a fair medical officer. " {d) Military Sanitation. This course covers the practical application of the principles of preventive medicine to field conditions, and the authority and responsibility of the Medical Department in the preservation of the health of the troops and the control of communicable disease. The course included epidemi- ology from an administrative viewpoint, and as applied to military conditions in the field ; the basic principles of sanitary engineering and the methods to be followed in making inspections of sanitary engineering installations ; the conduct of sanitary surveys; the preparation of sanitary orders; and the employment and adaptation of sanitary devices to field conditions. 24 P.D. 7. "In this course, Majors Dunham and Fox gave us new interest in an old subject. They have an area given over to the demonstration of sanitary installations and various improvisations for camp sanitation that is a real revelation. " (e) Logistics. The purpose of this subject was to acquaint the student with the general scheme of industrial mobilization and procurement planning, and to introduce the general subject of logistics with special emphasis on property ac- countabiHty, purchase, storage, and distribution of supplies, and transportation of troops by motor, rail, and water. " (/) Administration. This course was subdivided into three parts, namely — Personnel and Unit Administration, Medical Department Administration, and Mihtary Law. Personnel and unit administration covers a study of regulations and customs dealing with personnel and garrison administration. Medical De- partment administration covers a study of the administrative overhead connected with the professional duties of the medical officer. Mihtary law covers miltary disciphne, the laws and regulations relating to the same, and the methods of conducting summary, special, and general courts martial. "(g) Extra-Departmental Lectures. Throughout the course lectures were given by special lecturers on such subjects as military history, the development of our military policy, development of the Militia, National Guard, and Reserves, history and development of the Medical Department, the organization and administration of the various components of the Army, and the organization and responsibilities of the Medical Department. These were supplemented by lectures on gas and gas casualties, on aviation, medicine, and by lectures given on the battlefield at Gettysburg. The lectures were given by Colonel Reynolds and were real inspirations to the entire class. "All demonstrations were given by the 1st Medical Regiment. They demonstrated all of the Medical Department installations from the Battalion Aid Station back to the Hospital Station, both miniature set-ups and actual full-distance field exercises. This hard working outfit is more than good because every member has a sound basic training; the tactical efficiency of this regiment would make an infantry officer jealous, and the technical training of the individual is unsurpassed. "The one theme that was constantly stressed was that we Medical Officers serving with an Infantry Division must know the organization and tactics of the division and its component parts, and thoroughly understand small arms fire and the range and use of our auxiliary weapons; that every Medical Department installation whether it be a company aid group or a medical regiment is attached to some command, serves this one command, and must at all times conform to its movements; that we must educate line commanders to appreciate these facts, and to include us in their staff meetings and to see that we have an opportunity to understand and to conform our movements to each tactical situation."

Because of the co-operation of the trustees of the Soldiers' Home, the well equipped and efficiently run, modern, up-to-date hospital in conjunction with it is made available for National Guardsmen, whether or not they are veterans of any war, according to the following letter:

My Dear Colonel Williams: — On July 26, 1928, you wrote to me as Presi- dent of the Board of Trustees of the Soldiers' Home in Massachusetts, concerning the possibilit}^ of caring for the sick and injured of the Massachusetts National Guard at the hospital of the Soldiers' Home. Until the September quarterly meeting, which occurred last Thursday, I was unable to bring your request before the Board of Trustees; hence, delay in reply. It is a pleasure, however, for me to report that the Board of Trustees unanimously favor the care of National Guard cases, in accordance with your recommendation, and the detail as to admission of patients we should hke to have you arrange with Major Blanchard, surgeon in charge. Very truly yours, (Signed) Wm. J. Keville, President, Board of Trustees. October 2, 1928. P.D. 7. 25 This gives the National Guard a permanent, State-controlled hospital, use of which will maintain uniformity of treatment and a considerable decrease in costs because of elimination of most of the cost previously paid to private and municipal hospitals for care of officers and soldiers injured or ill in line of duty. The Surgeon General, as required by law, witnessed three electrocutions during the past year. There were approximately 700 State House employees given first aid treatment at this office during 1928, resulting in the retention at their work of many employees who would otherwise have to be sent home for treatment. F. P. WILLIAMS, Colonel, Medical Corps, State Surgeon. Dec. 15, 1928. REPORT OF THE UNITED STATES PROPERTY AND DISBURSING OFFICER FOR MASSACHUSETTS. To The Adjutant General: This, the annual report of The United States Property and Disbursing Officer for Massachusetts, covering the functions of his office from December 1, 1927 to November 30, 1928, inclusive, is submitted. General Remarks. The past year has viewed a steady increase in the efficiency of this office. A long stride has been made toward adjusting the property situation, the work incident to camps of instruction was handled much more expeditiously than heretofore, and a working schedule covering the entire functions of the office has been outlined and carried on as far as possible. A Board of Regular Army officers, appointed under authority of the Militia Bureau to determine the accountability for federal property in this State, has completed its action. Thus, all property records here are now adjusted with the exception of shortages occurring in very recent transfers of property. This is a very progressive move, as considerable shortages appeared on initial shipments of property received while the Guard was being reorganized. Changes in desig- nations and locations of units, the requisitioning of property for two units and distributing it to three, the billing by federal depots of property to one unit and the receiving of it by another, were all contributory causes to making a large paper shortage that was never adjusted. The facts and circumstances of all outstanding differences were considered by this Board, their recommendations forwarded to the War Department, and there approved. The duties, necessitated in contracting for supphes, etc., for camps of instruction, were performed by the Finance Section of the office during office hours and overtime periods. It has been found to be much more practical to pay the regular clerks for overtime service as they are thoroughly familiar with the procedure to follow, whereas considerable time would be lost in acquainting temporary clerks with the details. One member of the Property Section assisted the finance clerks for a few weeks prior to the camp period. Immediate action on camp accounts is imperative. The Militia Bureau requires, on October 1, a report of all expenditures for camps of instruction held the previous summer. The report should be final, but it has been impossible for a final report to be made at that time because of delay of the smaller camps in presenting bills for payment. There appears to be no good reason why bills must be held up two and three months after they are contracted. Excepting the 26th Division camp, great improvement can be made in promptly submitting accounts for payment. Bills from all but one camp, when finally received this year, were in very good form, being accurately checked and having proper papers attached thereto. This is of considerable assistance to the office as the work in the Finance Section from June 1 to October 1 is extremely heavy and there are but two clerks to handle it all. The importance of the prompt submission of bills to this office immediately after the close of camp cannot be stressed too much. The progress made during the year has been very satisfactory, the entire office operation now being on a substantial business basis and in smooth working order. : :

26 P.D. 7. Office Administration.

Following is an excerpt from a document sent to the Secretary of War by the Chief, Militia Bureau, May 21, 1928:

"The United States Property and Disbursing Officer is appointed from the active officers of the National Guard by the Governor of the State, subject to the approval of the Secretary of War. His duties are prescribed in National Guard Regulations and specifically in N. G. R. 51 and series 75. Briefly he is accountable for all Federal property issued the National Guard of a State, is responsible for the maintenance of property records showing the accountability of the State to the Federal Government for all property issued to the State, the disbursement of all Federal funds allotted to the State, the preparation of all requisitions for property and funds, the issue of all supplies and equipment to organizations, and in addition is the Federal contracting and transportation officer for the State. "During the past three years in order to secure more efficient care and preservation of Federal property in the hands of the National Guard and to enforce necessary economies in disbursements there has been a gradual strengthening of Regulations having these objects in view, which has resulted in increasing^ demands on the time of Property and Disbursing Officers and in the volume of necessary paper work."

The dearth of clerical assistants continues to be a great problem. The need of more clerks is effectively shown by the office schedule outlined below:

Finance Section

I. Requisition for federal funds for upkeep of the National Guard: 1. Compile requests for reservation of funds 2. Compile requests for funds for signature of The Governor II. Disburse Funds: 1.

3. Militia Bureau: a. Circulars 4. Finance Department: a. Circulars 5. Miscellaneous individual regulations and orders from various sources that have direct bearing on the office V. Requisition for and keep stock of office supplies VI. Compile annual report for The Adjutant General, Massachusetts

The entire work of the Finance and Correspondence and Filing Sections as listed, falls on one section chief and one assistant. Upon looking over the duties of these two sections, it can be readily appreciated that it is a tremendous task for two people to accomphsh. It is necessary that they spend time on all phases of the work. This is particularly unsatisfactory in the Finance Section, as one person should do all the bookkeeping, and be responsible for the money accounts.

I. Requisition for all federal property for Massachusetts National Guard: 1. Check requisitions received from unit commanders 2. Number and dispatch to First Corps Area 3. Keep requisition register 4. Keep Tables of Organization, Tables of Equipment, and Tables of Allowances II. Receipt for Property 1.

Check narcotic reports annually 2. Check forage reports monthly, and return o.k.'d copy to units 3. Compile principle hst of ordnance supplies report annually 4. Compile report of ammunition expended annually 5. Compile report of typewriters annually

Work of the property section is assigned to five clerks. Clerk number one handles work of Section I and Section II paragraphs, 1, 2, 3, 4. Clerk number two works Section II paragraphs 5 and Sections III, V, VI. Clerk number three handles Section IV paragraphs 1 and 2. Clerks number four and five perform the duties of Section IV paragraphs 3 and 4. It appears necessary that a section chief be appointed to oversee the various functions of the property section. He would keep records of progress of the work, assign duties, interview and furnish information to officers requesting it, and know the exact status of all the work at all times. It has been impossible for any one of the property clerks to be assigned this task because the numerous duties of each individual involves too much time to allow the man to properly function as a section chief. Should one of the present property clerks be appointed to the position, a new employee would be necessary to take over his present duties. The typing of memorandum receipts and intervening semi-annual report of changes thereon has alwaj'^s been a problem. Two clerks have endeavored to do all the posting of debit and credit vouchers, and likewise do the semi-annual typing required on the one hundred eighty-five individual memorandum receipt accounts. Without doubt, this is a physical impossibility, and the work could not be kept up to date without the services of at least four clerks. At the present time, the semi-annual report is, of necessity, omitted. The present office personnel, under Civil Service supervision consists of one principal, three senior, and one junior clerks. In addition, one junior clerk has been employed in a temporary status since July 1 to do special work and assist on property accounts. One Second Lieutenant and one Sergeant are detailed from National Guard units for special duty. These two men have become so well informed in their work that it is desired to put them under Civil Service jurisdiction on a permanent appointment. The knowledge gained during their extended period of over three years' service has made them very efficient in property accounting work. It would take a considerable time to school new clerks in the duties these men perform, and the accounts would of necessity suffer by the delay. As they are so important to the efficiency of the office, and of much service to the Guard in general, it is believed imperative that they should be put on duty in a permanent status, so that lack of funds in special appropriations could not cause their removal. The temporary clerk now working in the office has proved to be very capable, and has readily adapted herself to the duties assigned. She is an interested and, industrious worker and the competency of the office would be durably increased by her permanent appointment. With the above change of status in the office personnel, and the additional assignment of two clerks for property and one for finance work, an excellent working schedule could be carried on. All phases of work in the entire office could be ably handled, and maximum service rendered the National Guard as a whole, and individual members thereof personally concerned. The salary situation has been bettered to a certain extent, but it is believed that the majority of the clerks here are yet not fully compensated for the service they render. Each year, constantly gaining additional knowledge and perfecting their routine duties makes their services increasingly valuable, and the increases in salaries are not conunensurate with the increase in efficiency. : : :

$8,774 34

The salaries of the two men detailed for special duty is not included in the above schedule. General Finance. The federal funds handled during this fiscal year were considerably less than in 1927. More accurate estimates of funds needed for the various projects were made this year, thus eliminating idle funds being carried on the books. This is shown by approximately $40,000.00 more of unobligated funds being returned to the Treasurer last year. Also the following changes in appropriations were made Expenses of Sergeant Instructors — Formerly paid by this office now paid by the Finance Officer, First Corps Area. Purchase of Horses — Formerly purchased locally, shipped this year from a remount station by the Regular Army. Compensation of help for care of animals, etc. — Allowances reduced approximately 15%. The expenditures on appropriations remaining on the same status were increased about $5,000.00. Following is schedule of money paid out here during the fiscal year 1928, for maintaining the National Guard 2,039 02 :

Actual expenses, U. S. P. and D. Officer . . 20 00

$6,661 88 Heating, Ughting and telephone accounts were settled by the camp commander. This camp has always given good service in submitting bills for payment. While a little slower than usual this year, all invoices were submitted in excellent form at one time, and the entire camp account balanced a month after the end of the tour of duty. With the exception of the Camp Devens and Mitchel Field camps, great difficulty was experienced in getting settlements made. One camp account is not yet closed. It seems difficult for Supply Officers to settle matters while they are in camp, and as a result, prolonged correspondence ensues after return to home stations. A camp supply detachment, assigned to the United States Property and Disbursing Officer, to attend all these camps and assist the Supply Officers in their work would aid, to a great extent, in settling all difficulties and bills promptly. Immediate payment of camp accounts is vitally important and consideration should be given ways and means to improve the unsatisfactory situation now existing. Following is a list of expenditures under camps of instruction account that do not apply to the current camp: Camps of instruction, 1926 $50 00 Camps of instruction, 1927 3,263 42 National matches, 1927 37 77 Bombing matches, 1928 444 60 Manoeuvres, 241st C.

Each year, with the reservations, an instruction sheet is distributed and this should be used as a check for every bill before it is forwarded for payment. :

P.D. 7. 33 Transportation. Two hundred and six transportation requests were issued for the following purposes 21 men enroute to service schools 3 officers to and from bombing matches 8 officers to and from manoeuvres of 241st C. A. 170 officers and men to and from camps of instruction 4 officers and men to and from National Matches

A check was made of the number of men in each bus as it entered and left the various camps. This proved to be a very satisfactory method of completing transportation requests, as in previous years difficulty has been experienced in obtaining a report of the exact number of men carried on each movement. Bills of lading issued from this office numbered one hundred fifty, and were to cover returning defective ordnance material to Arsenals for repair, and shipments of material to and from camps of instruction. Capt. Downes used sixty-one bills of lading for transporting property from the State Arsenal to various units throughout the State. Correspondence and Filing. The number of pieces of correspondence handled during this year far surpassed that of former years. Cases numbering 13,813 were received, and 10,254 were dispatched. This work in this section is not thoroughly systemized because of lack of clerical assistants. However, prompt action is taken on all matters and the filing is kept current, but the follow-up system is to a certain extent neglected. Unit commanders, when asked to furnish information, are, to a great extent, lax in supplying it. Prompt replies to correspondence assists both this oflace and the Guard in general to function more effectively.

Property. The property situation is now on a very satisfactory basis. The systems of obtaining, receiving, and accounting for supplies have been put in efficient working order and, with cooperation of unit commanders, no serious difficulty or confusion should be experienced in the future. The value of federal property, now in the State for use of the National Guard, has not changed materially during the year, it still being approximately ten million dollars. Requisitions. Requisitions for property continue to be submitted incorrectly. The requirements are so exacting, and the data desired must be gathered from so many sources that it is difficult for unit commanders to devote the time required to their preparation. To assist the responsible officers, a set of detailed instructions is being compiled and will be distributed before the next requisitioning period. The best system of receiving property into the State would be to submit semi- annually a consolidated requisition for the needs of the entire Guard, shipment to be made to the United States Property and Disbursing Officer at the State Arsenal, Framingham. From there it would be distributed throughout the State. Until such time as state funds are allotted for the necessary employees, material and facilities to carry out this system, the present one of direct shipments from depots to individual units is the most practical. However, it is beUeved that better results could be obtained if the unit commanders submitted a list of all supphes needed to this office, where proper forms would be filled out and forwarded. As yet, however, unit commanders are still required to submit their own individual requisitions, and it is therefore, imperative that more time and attention be given to the accomphshment of the papers. The following numbers of requisitions were forwarded to federal depots to be filled during the year: 883 Quartermaster 50 Engineer 518 Ordnance 130 Medical 121 Signal 27 Publication 25 Air Service 34 P.D. 7. Shipping Tickets. From about sixty different stations, 5,979 sets of shipping tickets were received here since December 1, 1927. Prompt accompUshment of these papers is essential to accurate property accounting by units, this office, and the shipping depot. Unit commanders should check property against shipping tickets immediately upon receipt, sign papers, and return them to this office. This is not done by the majority of responsible officers, with the result that considerable correspondence supervenes to obtain the required acknowledgment of receipt of property. Much time is involved of everyone concerned, which is entirely unnecessary. Immedi- ate return of signed shipping tickets is all that is needed to perfect the operation of the system. Repoets of Survey — Inventory and Inspection Reports. Reports of survey have been made out in very good form, and the number submitted curtailed considerably. This is due largely to the use of Inventory and Inspection reports. These papers are more advantageous in that they allow responsible officers an opportunity to drop unserviceable property without doing a large amount of clerical work, and waiting two or three months for approval of the War Department. However, in cases where property, on Reports of Sur- vey and Inventory and Inspection Reports, is ordered shipped to the State Arsenal for salvage, their use as a credit voucher is delayed because of negligence of officers in complying with instructions. All property ordered sent to Fram- ingham should arrive there as soon as possible so that the transaction can be completed and credit given property accounts. ShijDments can be made either on government bill of lading, semi-annual collections by state trucks, or by privately owned vehicles, or commercial truck at the expense of the unit.

Transfers of Property. Thirty-one officers transferred property accountability during the year. Con- troversies appeared in practically every transfer the result, it is believed, of incomplete physical inventories being taken. The system used now is for a representative of The Adjutant General and one of the organization commander to meet the retiring officer and his successor, or their representatives, and have property checked before all four men. A form is then made up, listing shortages and overages discovered, and signed by the two officers actively concerned in the transfer and the representative of The Adjutant General. The paper is then sent to this office. A memorandum receipt is prepared and forwarded for the signature of the new company commander. It is at this point that the disagreement occurs as the succeeding man, upon physical check of property, finds he has not all the articles listed, but had failed to report them short on certificate of transfer. A physical inventory of all property is essential at the time of transfer, and is the only sure way of ascertaining the exact differences. It is recommended that transfers of property be made under the direction of this office and by a representative therefrom. This person would be acquainted with all details in connection with property accounting and could render the maximum assistance to all persons concerned. When discrepancies, if any, are determined. The Adjutant General could direct method to be used in settling these accounts. Board of Officers. The Chief, Militia Bureau, on December 21, 1927, authorized the appointment of a Board of Officers to determine the accountability of the State of Massachu- setts for federal property. The Board, appointed by the Commanding General, First Corps Area, consisted of Maj. Francis M. Maddox, Infantry, (DOL), Maj. Selden B. Armat, Finance Department, 1st Lt. Rudolph G. Schmidt, QM. Corps (DOL). Because of transfer of Maj. Armat from the First Corps Area, on Sep- tember 14, 1928, Capt. Bickford E. Sawyer (Cavalrj^) F.D. was appointed to replace him on the Board. While final action was not taken until December 13, 1928, the very satisfactory results derived warrant it being reported here in entirety. P.D. 7. 35 The Board's first meeting occurred January 3, 1928, and the action decided upon was to have a complete physical inventory made of all property in the State, and have the records in the United States Property & Disbursing Office verified. The property section of this office checked memorandum receipts with the stock record and listed all overages and shortages discovered. All shortages of inactive officers were verified. Physical inventory was taken at the State Arsenal and compared with the Arsenal stock record. A consolidated over, short, and damaged report was then accomplished and all overages picked up on the property accounts. A consolidated report of survey was made up covering all shortages, and all papers were presented to the Board for action. Four meetings of the Board were held during the year, and the members, at various other times, made visits to units and the State Arsenal investigating conditions, circumstances, etc. The fifth, and final, conference was held Decem- ber 3, 1928 when all reports, papers, and the data personally gleaned by members were carefully considered. The findings follow: "The Board is of the opinion that, after making due allowances for shortages and overages, the stock records will represent a true and just account of the Fed- eral property in the hands of the State of Massachusetts, and, after careful consideration of the facts as embodied in the certificate of the United States Prop- erty and Disbursing Officer, it is of the opinion that the net loss ($23,076.01) as shown, is reasonable, (see Exhibit 'M'), and without fault or neglect on the part of the responsible state." Extract of recommendations reads:

"The Board therefore recommends that the reports of survey, numbers 506 to 511 inclusive (Exhibits 'G' to 'L' inclusive), be approved to relieve Lt. Col. Frank J. Kilhlea, United States Property and Disbursing Officer, of the accountability for property fisted thereon to a value of ninety thousand three hundred and sixty-seven dollars and sixty-one cents, ($90,367.61). "The Board does not consider it advisable or desirable to transfer all balances to a new set of Stock Record Cards for the reason that the present set of Stock Record Cards cover all property transactions since January, 1926, and are in excellent condition, serving as a ready reference in many instances to past property transactions."

Maj. Francis M. Maddox took all papers to Washington to have action completed. On December 12 Chief of Finance, and on December 13 the Chief, Militia Bureau approved, without reservation, the report of survey to act as a credit voucher on the property accounts. The value of this action is tremendous. When credit is given these outstanding accounts, the property records in this office will be in such condition that when shortages appear the basis can be easily traced and responsibihty immediately fixed. Maj. Maddox, especially, was of great assistance in adjusting this property tangle that has existed since the reorganization of the Guard in 1920 and 1921. Pkoperty Accounting. All property records in this office are now on a firm basis and in progressive working order. Although it is impossible to keep them posted to date, for lack of manpower, any information desired can be obtained promptly and without difficulty. Many unit commanders, as yet, do not grasp the idea of the accounting system. Lectures on regulations, it is believed would assist these officers considerably. A representative of this office is available at any time to respond to requests from organization commanders who desire detailed information delivered to their officers. An effort is being made to list on memorandum receipts the identification numbers of equipment so marked. Particular attention should be given this matter by unit commanders, as lost firearms can easily be discovered in this way. When memorandum receipts are forwarded to officers, they should as soon as possible, and, at the most, within thirty days, check their property against the record, sign, and return one copy to this office. Many officers take, three, four, : :

36 P.D. 7. and five months to do this. Such negligence causes confusion, inasmuch as an account can change considerably within that length of time, and the system thereby loses its value. State Arsenal. The scarcity in numbers of laborers at the Arsenal make it necessary to neglect checking property immediately upon its receipt. Thus, credit is held up on officers' accounts a considerable length of time, and when receipt is finally forwarded, controversies occur over the number of articles received and the reported number shipped. It would aid this office materially if sufficient help were assigned to insure prompt handling of all Federal property received at the Arsenal. Capt. George M. Downes, Superintendent, has constantly rendered excellent service but is handicapped by insufficient working force. Conclusion.

Year after year, the necessity of strictly complying with regulations is being forced upon all concerned with the National Guard. Although a little more time may be required to do things properly at first, it is more practical in the end, as incorrectly accomplished papers are returned for adjustment, and more time, trouble, and delay is thereby involved. More cooperation of unit commanders is all that is necessary to carry on effectively. It is appreciated that officers can devote but a certain amount of time each week to their National Guard work, but it is believed that many could so sj'stemize their duties as to obtain better results. To answer a letter takes, as a general rule, about five minutes, but much correspondence is outstanding four or five weeks. Being a small matter should insure its being handled promptly, but the general attitude is that a small matter can wait. Some officers, in all branches of the service, respond promptlj^, thus proving that it is not an impossibility. Explicit directions are issued on all matters, but officers are, at times, careless in reading instructions, or do not bother to follow them. Thus, confusion is caused, much correspondence ensues, and, in the end, considerable time is taken to straighten out the matter. It is believed that just a little closer application to the matter in hand will bring more satisfactory results to all concerned. This office is ready, at all times, to furnish information on any matter under its jurisdiction to anyone desiring it. Service here averages about three hundred telephone and one hundred sixty personal interviews each month. The demands on the officers of the Guard increase each year, but this office endeavors to minimize the work required. It is regretted that the office personnel is so limited that more assistance cannot be rendered and relief be given the officers of many of their duties. F. J. KILLILEA, Lt. Col, U. S. P. and D. 0., Mass. Dec. 15, 1928. REPORT OF THE COMMUNICATIONS SCHOOL. To The Adjutant General: Scope. A school for non-commissioned officers, or selected privates, from the communication platoons of brigades, regiments, battalions, and separate units in the Massachusetts National Guard was held on the following dates at Common- wealth Armory, AUston, Massachusetts

First Session, Dec. 3 and 4, 1927. Second Session, Jan. 7 and 8, 1928. Third Session, Feb. 4 and 5, 1928. Fourth Session, Apr. 14 and 15, 1928.

The following officers were in charge Commandant Lt. Col. George S. Penney . Executive Officer . . . . Capt. John P. Ferriter, S. C, (D. 0. L.) Assistant Instructor .... Capt. Leo F. O'Neil, 26th Sig. Co. P.D. 7. 37 Two men were selected by each unit to attend the entire course and their names submitted to the Adjutant General. Instruction. The following course of subjects was conducted, the classes being divided into radio and telephone sections: First Session. Communication within the Infantry Division; laying wire with IlL-9 and RL-16; ties and sphces; testing wire lines; pole climbing; message center operation; use of DFC4 and M-94 cipher device. Second Session. Visual signalling; EE-3, 4, 5 telephones; laying wire lines with motor trucks, repairing and testing lines; setting up V-type antenna; operation of SCR-79-A radio set; radio procedure. Third Session. Installation and operation of monocord switchboards; installation of telephones; use of line route maps, circuit diagrams, phonetic alphabet and code calls; use and care of storage batteries and dry cells; operation of SCR 109-A and 77-B; radio procedure. Fourth Session. Simplexing telephone lines; buzzerphone and service buzzer operation; division, brigade, and regimental wire and radio nets; conventional signs; operation of SCR 130, 127 and 77-B radio sets; traffic loads with message centers; radio procedure. Attendance. The school opened at 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays and closed 4:00 p.m. on Sundays. Mileage at 6 cents per mile and rations at $1.50 per session were allowed each student. The attendance was as follows: 51, 57, 54, 32 (in the order of the sessions). There were also 10 reserve officers in attendance. They were charged $1.50 per session for rations. Messing, Housing and Equipment. The messing and housing was in charge of Lt. Hilton, 26th Signal Co. The utensils were obtained by the commandant from the state arsenal and were the old knives, forks, spoons and plates used by the state guard. The cooking was done by two hired cooks from the 26th Signal Co. The meals were served in the dining room at Commonwealth Armory. Eighty cots with three hundred blankets were also obtained from Framingham, these being set up in Curtis Guild Hall where the men were very comfortably located. The ration was purchased for the number ordered to attend the school on the day preceding the school. When a man was absent or failed to attend, the rations were already purchased but there was no provision for obtaining the necessary $1.50 from the state to pay for the same. The first three sessions with the attendance as ordered were taken care of financially, with a small deficit. When the attendance at the fourth session was much reduced, this caused a decided deficit which Captain Parker kindly supplied to Lieutenant Hilton from National Guard Association funds. The discipline during the entire course was excellent. The students were very industrious and attentive, and, from the reports received from some of the commanding officers, their students were able to, and did, conduct classes at their own armories. Results. The results of the school were very pronounced during the summer training period of 1928. The work of the communication platoons was well coordinated and the basic principles were demonstrated far beyond the expectations of the Federal Instructor. Communications in the National Guard of the State of Massachusetts is today far ahead of the National Guard of any state, from all reports received by those in authority. GEORGE S. PENNEY, Lt. Col., Inf., Mass. N. G., Division Signal Officer. : :

38 P.D. 7. REPORT OF THE TRAINING SCHOOL. To The Adjutant General:

In accordance with G. 0. No. 5, A. G. 0., Mass., dated Oct. 17, 1927, the first session of The Training School, Massachusetts National Guard, was held at the State Armory, Cambridge, on Saturday and Sunday, November 26-27, 1927, and thereafter on the third Saturday and Sunday of each month up to and including June, 1928. The sessions were called at 2:25 p.m. on Saturday and continued until 3 p.m. Sunday. The following subjects were taken up in progressive manner: military discipline, military courtesy, mihtary correspondence, map reading and map making, drill (from School of Soldier to School of Platoon, inclusive), voice culture and physical drill. In addition to the above subjects instructive lectures were given by the following Brig. Gen. Joel Goldthwaite — "On the Position of the Soldier"; this was followed by a Critique. Maj. J. A. Stevens, U. S. A. — "On the Organization of the Army" and "Infantry on the Battlefield". Maj. William H. Blanchard, Mass. N. G. — "Camp Sanitation". Capt. T. G. Frothingham — "On the Influence of American Tactics in the World War". Capt. Charles G. Frost, Mass. N. G. — Lecture and Practical Instruction of the Automatic Pistol.

Moving pictures showing the mechanics of "The School of the Soldier" and "School of the Squad" were shown, also reels on map reading and map making. The reels covering maps proved to be of great aid in the instruction on the subject. These reels were all obtained from the Signal Corps at the Army Base. The School opened with 51 Cadets and at the closing of the term in June had 35. Of the 16 dropped from the rolls, 4 resigned and 12 were dropped on account of apparent lack of interest and failure to meet the requirements of the school. The following recommendations are submitted 1. Uniforms. That a distinctive uniform be adopted for the Cadets, and, while this action is pending, that all chevrons be removed while cadets are attending the school. This, for the reason that cases may arise wherein Cadets of the Senior Class may be either private, corporal or sergeant and may be in command of squad or platoon in which there may be sergeants of the higher grades as Cadets serving in their Junior year. By removing chevrons this embarrassment may also be removed. 2. Selection of Cadets. That more care be taken in the selection of Cadets as to physical condition, general education and general conditions. Out of a class of 51 men, 12 were found to be physically deficient, in few cases elementary education was sadly lacking as was shown throughout the year in correspondence. No Cadet should be sent to the School who finds the expense a burden. In some cases men could not attend sessions regularly on account of having to forward the railway fare. Care should be taken to see that such men should not be assigned. 3. That no man who has been dropped from the rolls be commissioned, until the class of which he was a member has been graduated. 4. Par. 2, G. 0. No. 5, A. G. 0., Mass. That the last sentence in the above paragraph be changed to read: "the second year course shall consist in basic training in the subjects pertaining to the general requirements of an oflacer of the National Guard". 5. Customs of the Service. That lectures and demonstrations pertaining to the "Customs of the Service" be included in the second year course. 6. Non-Attendance. That in case a Cadet does not attend a session his organization be assessed the amount of his allowances, less his travel allowance. This for the reason that certain arrangements are made for messing and if the Cadet does not attend there is a loss so Jar as the mess is concerned. 7. Sabre Instruction. That sabre instruction be included in the subjects of the P.D. 7. 39 second year course. This should eventually cause the sabre instruction to be uniform throughout the State. 8. Appropriation. That the appropriation for the use of the Training School be increased. The funds available at present are not adequate to carry on all of the details in connection with the School. The Commandant has many angles to consider and while he has the matter of finances hanging over him continually it causes him much anxiety. The officers who acted as Tactical Instructors did excellent work for the School and their co-operation and loyalty was greatly appreciated by The Commandant. The Tactical Instructors were: Capt. Philip L. Brown, Capt. Vincent P. Coyne, Capt. Louis L. Morse, and First Lt. Henry S. Derby. Capt. Preston W. Smith, Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, Retired, deserves commendation for his work in co-ordinating the instruction with the latest Army School practices. Lt. Col. Porter B. Chase, Mass. National Guard, and Lt. Col. Julian I. Cham- berlain, Artillery Reserve, gave freely of their time and their instruction was of great benefit to the School. The National Guard Association was of material assistance in the opening days, having forwarded a substantial sum of money for the use of this school. This accommodation was returned to the National Guard Association of Massa- chusetts with a letter of thanks and appreciation. FRANK GIBBS, Lt. Col, Engrs., Mass. N. G., The Commandant, 1927, 1928.

REPORTS OF FIELD TRAINING. To The Adjutant General: The 26th Division, less the 101st Field Artillery and the 26th Division Air Service, A. C, performed its annual tour of field training, July 7 to 21, inclusive, at Camp Devens, Ayer, Mass. The 101st Field Artillery performed the tour of field training at Camp Devens, July 21 to August 4; the 26th Division Air Service, at Mitchell Field, L. I., from August 18 to September 2. The schedule of Command and Staff training for these headquarters contemplated an intensive course of study in command and staff duties by means of staff schools which were held daily, except Sunday, from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m., and from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., with equitation from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. All general, administrative and technical staff officers were required to attend each session. The entire schedule was completed in a very satisfactory manner under the direction of the division instructor. Colonel A. W. Foreman, Infantry (D. 0. L.), assisted by a "Leavenworth Team" consisting of Major White, In- fantry, (D. 0. L.) instructor with the Connecticut National Guard, and Major Donnellson, Infantry (D. 0. L:), instructor with the Vermont National Guard. Instruction in equitation was under the direction of Captain Ryder, Cavalry, (D. 0. L.) instructor with the 110th Cavalry, Mass. N. G. Attendance at school precluded any adequate division supervision of training, it having been decided to assemble the division as a unit for the furtherance of esprit and the inculcation of the principle of cooperation and team work. This plan of training resulted in what was virtuallj^ regimental camps except for the necessary details of administration and camp routine. This method was apparently very satisfactory as shown by the results obtained and the amount of con- structive work accomplished. By reason of the large number of distinguished visitors arriving in camp from time to time, division reviews were held more often than had been contemplated. This inevitably interrupted the scheduled training of troops to some extent and was a necessary source of hardship to the troops, especially to the field artillery. With the exception of the 104th Infantry, the division was moved into the camp area and returned to home stations entirely by bus. The movement to Camp Devens and return was accomplished without accident of any nature, in a very efficient manner, and with an entire absence of confusion. :

40 P.D. 7. During the period of training the "Division Review" had its inception. This was a daily paper published by and for the division. Its success was assured from the time the first issue was distributed, there being no question of its in- stant popularity with the rank and file of the division. Too much credit cannot be given to the officers and men who were responsible for, and who labored long hours in order to insure the success of, this phase of division activity as evidenced by the enthusiasm with which it was received. The division was afforded the honor and privilege of entertaining the following distinguished visitors His Excellency, Alvan T. Fuller, Governor of the Commonwealth, with his staff; Major General Preston Brown, U. S. A., commanding the First Corps Area; Major General Creed C. Hammond, Chief, Militia Bureau, War Depart- ment; Major General Clarence R. Edwards, U. S. A., retired; Major General Morris B. Payne, commanding the 43d Division, with his chief of staff. Colonel Harry B. Bissell; Monsieur Flamand, French Consul; Brigadier General James W. Hanson, Adjutant General, Maine; Brigadier General Jesse F. Stevens, Adjutant General, Massachusetts. Division reviews were tendered on July 12, 15, and 18, to: Major General Preston Brown; Major General Clarence R. Edwards; Y-D Veterans; and His Excellency, Alvan T. Fuller, Governor and Commander-in-Chief. The following letter from Major General Creed C. Hammond is of interest:

War Department, Office of the Chief of the Militia Bureau,

Washington, D. C, July 26, 1928. General Alfred F. Foote, State House, Boston, Massachusetts.

My Dear General Foote : — I want to again thank you for your many cour- teous attentions upon the occasion of my recent visit. I enjoyed being with you and in seeing your fine command at work in ceremonies and in field training. It was a great pleasure to see your excellent review, your splendid handling of such an immense crowd, and your fine staff schools and combat problems. I was pleased to note the hearty co-operation between General Stevens and yourself and your respective staffs. Such friendly relations are very helpful all around. I was deeply impressed with the fine showing made by your troops from the snappy escort that received me to the review, and the field work the day of my departure. Efficiency and snap seemed everywhere in evidence. Courtesies, ceremonies, training, discipline, morale, condition of messes, equipment and a general all around high standard and command control were observed with keen gratification. I want to commend you for this splendid condition due to your zeal, energy and forceful ability. You have a most attractive and desirable camp site. Natural slopes and drain age make it particularly suitable for camping and training. It is highly important that adequate land area be promptly acquired for artillery firing. The condition of your buildings need attention for their preservation and, as you showed me, you need certain new constructions. I wish to assure you of my deep interest and desire for the development of Camp Devens. With my kindest personal regards and all good wishes for yourself and command, I am, Sincerely yours, (Signed) ' C. C. Hammond, Major General, Chief, Militia Bureau.

The "Test Mobilization" was successfully completed July 14. The underpinning, footings, posts, etc., of most of the barracks, particularly Special Troops, 101st Infantry, 52d Brigade area, and 101st Engineers should be repaired or replaced before the next tour of duty. The Division Commander desires to express his appreciation for the assistance rendered the Division by His Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief, The Adjutant P.D. 7. 41 Genera], and the regular army instructors on duty with the Division, and for the spirit of cooperation manifested by the Division Staff and officers and men of the Division as a whole. For Major General Foote, Sydney H. Cliffe, Colonel, Infantry, Mass. N. G., Chief of Staff.

To The Adjutant General:

1. The following is a report on the tour of duty of Divisional Special Troops July 7-21, 1928: (a) The units of Special Troops proceeded to Camp Devens by bus in two groups. The group from Commonwealth Armory consisted of three busses and the group from the 101st Inf. Armory consisted of the Tank Co. in convoy with the 101st Inf. All units were assembled in camp by 12:15 p.m. July 7th. The advance details had made very good preparation of unit quarters and areas and the troops were fairly well established by 2 p.m. The total strength of Special Troops was 16 officers and 269 enUsted men. The general health of all personnel during the entire encampment was very good and there were no major cases of sickness or accident. The sanitary regulations published by the Division Com- mander were generally well carried out. The discipline of units was excellent during the entire encampment, slight infractions being met by company punish- ment. The personnel esprit was very good, and in this connection, reference should be had to the recommendation herein contained as to completing the organization of Special Troops. The lack of existence of these units having resulted in increasing the duties of the Division Headquarters Co. with a corre- sponding effect on esprit. Company and Headquarters administration was very well carried out by personnel charged therewith. The clerks of the several units were well trained in their administrative duties. (6) The barracks allotted to Special Troops require a reinforcement of underpinning which is beginning to show signs of age and decay. Units showed excellent work in complying with Division orders which directed all refuse be cleaned out from under barracks before leaving camp. Three buildings formerly occupied by Headquarters Special Troops and Div. Headquarters Detachment were burned down three days before the beginning of camp and the debris was unsightly in the area. It is beheved that the camp maintenance personnel should see to its removal prior to the next encampment. Some provision should also be made to construct a mess hall adjoining the Officers Quarters of Special Troops so that Battalion Officers Mess could be maintained, as is proper. (c) It is again strongly recommended that the remaining units of Special Troops, as yet unorganized, be authorized and their organization completed during the coming winter, especially with respect to the Military Police Co., the Medical Detachment and the Motorcycle Co. A good deal of Military Police work is required during the tour of duty, on Visitors' Day, when many thousands of persons and vehicles pass through the camp, also on other days of ceremony and at Division assemblies, boxing matches, etc. This duty has been performed by the members of the Tank Co. and Div. Headquarters Co. in addition to their regular duties. The necessity for a Medical Detachment is obvious. This organization for four years has been required to depend on the Medical Detachment of a neighboring organization. The Medical personnel both for health and sanitation should be a complement of our own organization. The need for a motorcycle company has also been made evident for the reasons applying also to the Military Pohce Company. The possible emploj^ment of the Division as a whole in future manoeuvres is a principal need for the MiUtary Police Company. It is believed that a service company should be a part of the organization of Special Troops and that a general reorganization providing the personnel above referred to in line with the recommendation made at the National Guard Convention of the United States proposing such an organization with a service company. This should include a band section. Through the courtesy of Colonel WiUiams of the Medical Regt. which was a neighboring organization the band of that Regt. played 42 P.D. 7. a Reveille march by our area each morning. The morale of Special Troops would be heightened by the existence of a band section as a part of the organization. (d) The Test Mobilization held on Saturday, July 14, 1928, was efficiently carried out indicating a personnel well informed in the mechanics of Mobilization. 2. Training, (a) The undersigned is not required to report on the training of the Signal and Tank companies. (b) The Division Headquarters Company had very little opportunity for unit training because of the numerous duties in connection with Division Headquarters retirements. This is the principal reason for the need of the additional units referred to, to relieve this unit. The needed training of this more than sixty per cent recruit unit could not be had. (c) The personnel of Division Headquarters Detachment were engaged in their normal duties and also in attendance at schools held by the Division Commander and Federal Instructors in which a great deal of knowledge was acquired. (d) The personnel of Headquarters Detachment, Special Troops, were trained principally in administrative work; because of their limited strength, extensive unit training is not required. 3. Breaking camp and return to home station was very well carried out, the return being made by bus transportation and the several units conducting a property check upon arrival at home station. For the Special Troops Commander EDWARD P. DOYLE, Capt., Inf., Mass. N. G., Adjutant. Sept. 7, 1928.

To The Adjutant General:

1. As the Tour of Duty this year was for regimental instruction primarily, the 51st brigade did not function as a unit except in a few ceremonies. The Brigade Commander and his staff daily observed the work of the various units in his command and believes that the regiments benefited more this year from their un- hampered work than in any other year since the organization of the Division. Regimental commanders were able to prepare a program of instructions for the entire fifteen days and carry the same out without interference. 2. The brigade staff devoted from three to five hours daily to their own instructions consisting of lectures and problems worked out on the terrain. One hour daily was given to equitation under Captain Ryder. The demonstrations given by the regiments of both infantry brigades were witnessed by both commander and staff. 3. The brigade commander is of the opinion that more genuine instruction was given this year than was given before and that everyone in the division received some benefit and made some improvement and that, after all, is the result sought in any instruction, military or otherwise. 4. The brigade commander recommends a similar Tour of Duty for 1929. 5. It is beheved that if we continue to use Camp Devens, suitable quarters for the Division and Brigade Commanders and their staffs should be provided at a location considerably removed from the troops. The present quarters lack quiet, privacy, and the necessary dignity which should be an inseparable part of the headquarters of a general officer. 6. The Brigade Commander wishes to thank the Division Commander and his staff and the Adjutant General and the State Staff for the many kindnesses and courtesies shown him before, during, and after the Tour of Duty. ALBERT C. GRAY, Brigadier General, Mass. N. G. To The Adjutant General:

1. Field Training of the 101st Infantry was carried out in accordance with approved schedule and, except for rifle marksmanship, covered fully as laid down. Rifle Marksmanship; because so few of the units in this regiment have home ranges, is a difficult proposition, and in view of the fact that this year's regulations :

P.D. 7. 43 require that units qualify 80 per cent of their strength instead of 80 per cent of the men firing, an extra burden has been placed upon us because of the fact that we did not get in two full days, which at the best is not near enough to properly qualify those who qualified the year previous. This regiment was scheduled to fire on Tuesday and Wednesday July 10 and 11, but artillery was given priority so that firing did not commence until Thursday, the 12th. Division Review in the afternoon made it necessary to stop firing at noon, Friday was inclement and due to the fact that clothes and equipment were wet units had to return early so that the same could be cleaned and dried for next day's Field Inspection. Con- sequently this regiment had about one day's complete firing, where two days are hardly sufficient to requalify those who fired the year previous. The solution to this is that any organization engaged in firing be excused from all formations. This I am sure can be arranged with the Division Commander so that next year this regiment can carry out its schedule and get in the needed time for marksmanship. 2. Many of the barracks occupied by the units of this regiment are deterio- rating because of the posts underneath decaying. All sheathing has been removed from the bottom of all barracks so that it is an easy matter to see the posts at fault, and this is the time repairs should be made, as this winter may cause some of them to be in such condition that next year, unless attended to now, they will be condemned. 3. Food was sufficient and well prepared, personal investigation on my part and no complaints proves this. 4. Such assistance as was required from Division and Brigade was cheerfully given and with the utmost cooperation between the commissioned and enlisted personnel of this regiment this year's tour was the best we have ever had. Every- one gained greatly in military knowledge so that the improvement gives me a great deal of satisfaction. ARTHUR W. DESMOND, Colonel, 101st Inf., Mass. N. G. July 30, 1928.

To The Adjutant General:

1. In accordance with par. 1 {j), S. 0. 119, A. G. O., Mass., dated June 15, 1928, the following report on Annual Tour of Field Dutv, Camp Devens, Mass., of the 182d Infantry, July 7-21, 1928, is hereby submitted: (a) All units of this organization were present at this tour of duty. (6) The following figures are given on strength of the organization for camp period Enlisted Officers. Men. 61 On rolls

Present 44 P.D. 7. (e) The school in equitation for Staff officers was most beneficial and all appreciation is due Captain Ryder, Cav., (D. 0. L.) for the manner in which he conducted this school and the excellent instruction given. It is believed, however, that such instruction in equitation should be given to all officers of the regiment who are mounted. (/) As has been the case for some years past, the matter of horses was not entirely satisfactory, with the exception that the six cavalry horses drawn by this organization were good. Of the other six horses drawn only four could be used. With only ten horses available it was impossible to mount the entire regimental and battalion staffs for any ceremony or other training. A sufficient number of serviceable horses should be available to provide mounts for all officers ordinarily mounted for ceremonies, training and instruction in equitation. (g) It is recommended that "Taps" be changed from 10:00 to 11:00 p.m. for the following reasons: — the majority of men are not accustomed to retiring at ten o'clock and the activities are not sufficiently strenuous to make them so tired that they desire to turn in at that time; it is usually ten o'clock or later before those attending the boxing bouts or movies can return to quarters, with the result that men are retiring without lights, which tends to more or less confusion; other organizations in camp do not have "Taps" until eleven. GEORGE G. MOYSE, Colonel, 182d Inf. Aug. 2, 1928.

To The Adjutant General: The Annual Field Training Period of the 52d Brigade, commanded by Brig. Gen. John D. Murphy, from a Brigade point of view, was most successful and beneficial to both officers and men. A definite program was announced and followed very closely throughout the two weeks, the only interference being Reviews. All Field and Staff Officers of the Brigade took part in Tactical rides each of the first four days, after which Battalion Commanders were released to their commands, and the instruction continued with Brigade and Regimental Staffs participating. After each ride a critique was held and orders and plans discussed by General Murphy and Maj. P. J. Hurley, U. S. A. Instructor. Officers of both regiments became better acquainted with each other, which it is thought will go a long way toward coordi- nation of the efforts of the Brigade. All Communications personnel of the Brigade were consoUdated for instructional purposes under the direction of Capt. F. A. MacNamee of Brigade Headquarters Company, thus insuring the same instruction being given to all and any ideas or new points worth while being passed along to each unit. Intelligence sections were consolidated and received instruction through their officers, supervised by Lt. Day, 2nd Bn. Hq. Co., 181st Inf., while the Pioneer Platoons reported to Lt. Ewell of the 101st Engineers, under whose direction they received professional instruction in the work they are required to do in the field. The 181st Infantry, under Col. F. L. Converse, cooperated in every possible way and contributed very materially to the success of the Brigade. The schedule was followed closely. Control by officers and the discipline of men were outstanding features. The Regiment put on three very fine demonstrations; The Regiment in attack, supported by one Battalion of Field Artillery; Advance Guard held up by Machine Guns, and allowed to advance after a direct fire demonstration by Battery C, 102d F. A., and third a War Strength Company in defense, which was witnessed by about 150 Officers of the Division. This was arranged by Capt. J. P. Powers, R-3, 181st Inf., and was an excellent exhibition of selection of ground for defense, and the placing of officers and men. All Guards of Honor and Escorts for distinguished guests were picked from this regiment. The 104th Infantry under Col. Edmund J. Slate helped very materially the general success of the Brigade. Colonel Slate cooperated also in every way possible with the Brigade Commander in carrying out the programs and schedules. The 104th Infantry also put on an excellent demonstration of a Regiment in Attack, P.D. 7. 45 supported by one Battalion of Field Artillery. The Regiment also conducted two problems by Battalions, which was very instructive. The esprit and morale of this Regiment has increased to a marked degree, and will, no doubt, continue to improve under the excellent direction of Colonel Slate and Lt. Colonel Rivers. Many of the buildings in the Brigade Area are in very poor condition. The underpinning is rotting rapidly, and unless considerable repairing and shoring is done immediately, it will not be possible to put troops into many of these buildings during the next training period. This Brigade had the best horses since the Division has been going to Camp, all being serviceable throughout the Tour. The Supply situation righted itself after the jfirst few days, and was very satisfactory. The contract prices were somewhat higher, and it was with great difficulty that Supply and Mess Officers were able to keep anywhere near the ration allowance, which, I believe, should be increased to 75 cents for the National Guard. I wish to commend most highly the service rendered by Major Patrick J. Hur- ley, U. S. A., (D. 0. L.), Senior Brigade Instructor. His untiring efforts and the thoroughness of his instruction, have proved a great help to officers and men of the Brigade. JOHN D. MURPHY, Brig. Gen., Mass. N. G., Comynanding. Aug. 2, 1928.

To The Adjutant General:

1. In accordance with Special Orders No. 119, A. G. 0., par. 8, j, dated June 15, 1928, the following report is submitted on the annual Tour of Duty 1928 of the 104th Infantry. 2. Companies assembled in their respective armories and proceeded to Camp Devens, Massachusetts, by rail, all train movements being made according to schedule, arriving in good order and without accident. The afternoon was spent in a general policing of the area and arrangement of quarters. 3. Rifle companies spent the entire first week in close and extended order drill. The Machine Gun and Howitzer Companies spent four days on the range. Other days were spent by the Machine Gun Companies on lectures and demonstrations, of direct overhead fire, indirect fire, and picking of positions and using concealment afforded by natural terrain. Sections of the Headquarters Companies engaged in specialists, work along their various lines. The Communication sections of the Headquarters Companies were trained in conjunction with Brigade Headquarters Company, under command of Captain MacNamee and very satisfactory results were obtained. Regimental and Battalion Staffs received instruction in equitation and field problems under the direction of the Brigade Commander during the first week, which was interesting and profitable. On Tuesday, July 17th, and Wednesday, July ISth, Battahon problems were worked out very successfully. 4. All recruits were formed into a recruit company under the command of Captain John C. Hackett, who gave them instruction in the school of the Soldier, Squad, and Platoon; the training received was found to be very satisfactory. 5. The regiment took part in Divisional Reviews to Maj. Gen. Brown, the Y. D. Association, and to Governor Fuller; in Brigade Reviews to Brig. Gen. Hanson, of Maine, and to Brig. Gen. Foley, retired. Evening parades and formal guard mounts were held every evening except when participating in a division or brigade review. The Band played at the Brigade and Division Band Stand, also at the Fitchburg armory on July 19, 1928. 6. Of a total of 65 oflftcers and 1,134 enlisted men, 65 officers and 972 enlisted men attended the tour of duty. Hq. Co., 3rd Bn., and the Band had 100 per cent officers and enlisted men present throughout the tour of duty. 7. Schools were held for cooks and mess sergeants, daily by Staff Sergeant Alexander Clarkston, Sergeant-Instructor, and the results obtained were very satisfactory. Due to the efficient and practical instructions given by him, and the cooperation of all mess officers with the Regimental Supply Officer, the men were well fed and within the ration allowance. 46 P.D. 7. 8. The health and condition of the regiment was excellent; average gain in weight per man throughout the regiment being two pounds. The poUcing and sanitation of the area was most satisfactory, the Medical Detachment, under Major Merrill F. Hosmer, being very efficient in their inspections. 9. The interest of both officers and enlisted men was keen and the morale of the regiment high, the opinion being that it was the most satisfactory tour of duty for several years. EDMUND J. SLATE, Col., 104th Inf., Mass. N. G. July 9, 1928.

To The Adjutant General: 1. The Tour of Duty of the 181st Infantry, Massachusetts N. G., was held at Camp Devens, Mass., from July 7 to 21, 1928. The Advance Details from all units proceeded to Camp Devens from their armories July 5, taking such equipment and supplies as were required to prepare the regimental area for occupancy. 2. Companies assembled in their respective armories and proceeded to Camp Devens by busses, arriving in good order and without accident. A hot noon meal was served each company in the various barracks upon their arrival in the regimental area. The afternoon was spent in a general police of the area and arrangement of quarters. Communications within the regiment and to the Bri- gade and Division trunk lines were established by 2:00 p.m., July 7. 3. The companies of the regiment spent the entire first week in company and battalion combat exercises except on Thursday, July 12 and Friday, July 13. On Thursday, July 12 the Regiment participated in a Divisional Review to Major General Preston Brown, Commander, First Corps Area, U. S. Army. On July 9 this Regiment participated in a Brigade Review to General Hanson, Adjutant General of the State of Maine. On Friday, July 13, the regiment practiced the demonstration of a Brigade problem. On Saturday, July 14, a Test Mobihzation and Muster was held with a thorough inspection of all units in their quarters. 4. On Monday, July 16, the regiment took part in the demonstration of a Brigade Problem, and on Friday, July 20, a selected company demonstrated a Company in Defense. 5. The Headquarters Companies received instruction in their special work and very satisfactory progress was made. These Companies took part in the Brigade and Division combat problems and established and maintained their communications, asd conducted their intelligence work very efficiently. 6. All recruits were formed into a recruit company under direction of 2d Lieut. Ernest M. Allen of the regiment who gave them progressive instruction in the school of a soldier, the squad, platoon, and company. The thorough and uniform training received in this way was found to be very satisfactory. 7. The Machine Gun and Howitzer Companies received instruction in their special work and took part in the various combat exercises. 8. The Field and Staff Officers engaged in daily equitation classes followed by tactical rides and problems, with the other Field and Staff Officers of the 52d Brigade. The equitation classes conducted by Captain Ryder, Cav. U. S. Army, were very valuable and his tact and efficiency in handling the class were especially worthy of note. The tactical rides and problems were found to be very interesting and much valuable instruction was gained from them. 9. The regiment took part in division reviews to Maj. Gen. Preston Brown and the Governor, and in Brigade reviews to Brig. Gen. Thomas F. Foley and General Cole, and to General Hanson, the Adjutant General of Maine. Evening parades were held on the regimental parade grounds every evening except when the regiment was participating in Division or Brigade Reviews. The 1st Battalion held a Battahon Parade and a company from the 3d Battalion held a formal guard mount. 10. Of a total of 66 officers and 1,099 enlisted men, 66 officers and 1,020 enlisted men attended the tour of duty. The Band, Medical Detachment, Hq. Co. 1st Bn., Hq. Co. 2d Bn., and Companies B, C, D, I, and M had 100 per cent officers and men present at camp, throughout the entire tour of duty. P.D. 7. 47 11. The Regiment won possession of the Tug of War Cup, 2d place in the Rifle Competition, and 3d place in the Track Meet. 12. Critiques were held following combat exercises. 13. The health and condition of the regiment was excellent. The number of men at sick call was negligible, largely owing to the thorough instruction given in the care of feet. 14. The Regiment messed well and within the rations. 15. We received fifteen mounts of which ten were available for use during the tour of duty. These mounts were on the whole much better than those of the last few years and were of much more service to the regiment than any previous lot had been. 16. All companies made great progress during the tour of duty. The morale and interest was keen. The unison and spirit of the Regiment was high. This tour of duty was the most successful that the Regiment has experienced since its organization. FRANK L. CONVERSE, Colonel, 181st Inf., Mass. N. G., Commanding. July 30, 1928.

To The Adjutant General:

1. The annual tour of duty of the 51st F. A. brigade was held at Camp Devens as follows; the brigade less the 101st F. A. from July 7-July 21, inclusive; the 101st F. A. from July 21-August 5, inclusive. The training received was a con- tinuation and amplification of that received in previous years. 2. The range has been much improved over previous years owing to the extra land leased. It is to be hoped that this improvement will soon be made permanent by the purchase of the necessary extentions. 3. Although the number of horses supplied for the use of the brigade was inadequate, the usual trials and tribulations due to horse mixups were entirely lacking. Great credit is due to Captain Harvey Moore for the efficient way in which he fulfilled the duties of Division Horse Officer. 4. It is hoped that the number of reviews in which the artillery must appear be kept at a minimum as each review for the artillery causes a loss of a whole day's training. It is always necessary to give up the whole morning to cleaning harness and material. 5. Similarly one or two spare guns should be supplied for the purpose of firing salutes, so that whole batteries will not be kept idle many hours awaiting the uncertain approach of distinguished visitors. 6. It is believed that it is better for all concerned if the Brigade units attend camp one week with each regiment as was done in the past. ERLAND F. FISH, Brig. Gen., M. N. G., Commanding. Jan. 19, 1929.

To The Adjutant General:

1. The Annual Tour of Duty of the 101st Field Artillery from July 21 to August 4, 1928, was without any question the best Tour of Duty this Regiment has had since the War. Road Marches, Bivouacs, Reviews, Inspections and Firing were all accomplished with excellent results. One important factor which assisted in the success of the training period was the excellent co-operation and assistance of Colonel Naylor and his staff ^i Camp Devens. 2. The Regiment went to camp with 54 officers and 768 enhsted men, which is within one enlisted man of 100 per cent attendance. 3. The lack of a permanent telephone line around the Range continues to be a serious inconvenience each year, and it is recommended that every effort be made to obtain the construction of such a permanent telephone line prior to the next Tour of Duty. 4. The training program, including Battery Training, Battalion and Regi- mental Problems, Two-Day Road March, four days of Service Practice, Field 48 P.D. 7. Inspection, Athletics, a Review for the Governor, etc., was carried out in accordance with a carefully prearranged schedule. 5. The addition of the Rhode Island instructor. Captain Brotherton, to our corps of instructors was of great assistance to the Regiment. 6. Lt. Colonel Francis A. Pope from Washington spent a day with us and went over particularly the physical situation of the Camp and the Range. 7. The general situation as to horses was the most satisfactory we have had, although still leaving some room for improvements. DANIEL NEEDHAM, Colonel, 101st F. A., M. N. G. Jan. II, 1929.

To The Adjutant General:

1. The field training of the 102d Field Artillery was carried out in accordance with General Order No. 7, these Headquarters dated June 18, 1928. 2. On account of a review ordered for Thursday, July 12, it was necessary to revise the training schedule, and, in order to carry out its essential phases, commence service practice on Tuesday, July 10. (a) A Sunday review is unfortunate from the point of view of the Field Artil- lery, as it means that the men have to work at cleaning horses, harness and material during the greater part of the only day in camp which they have to entertain their families and friends. 3. The number of horses, about 575, obtainable was adequate for training purposes at the Regiment's present allotted strength. (a) The appointment of a Division Remount Officer was responsible for the smooth working of the distribution of horses. 4. The following recommendations relative to the Field Artillery Target Range at Camp Devens are submitted: (a) That the wooded area lying between the observation towers and the Nashua River be cleared of large trees in order to improve the field of view. (6) That the availability of the Hell Pond firing position be assured by the purchase of certain private holdings lying under the sector of fire close to the position. (c) That the safety of the range be provided for by the purchase of certain private holdings lying adjacent to the target area, some of which are now leased. (d) That a permanent range telephone sj^stem be provided, in order that organization equipment now used in providing necessary communication in connection with safety precautions may be made available for training purposes and to obviate the necessity of spending considerable time each year in laying these lines and the almost inevitable delay in service practice on the opening morning. 5. It is desirable to have pay authorized for twenty-five bandsmen, in place of the twenty-four that are now allowed. 6. Again this summer the instruction of the Regiment was handled by the Federal instructor assigned, Lieut. A. C. Donovan, with the assistance of Major McCleave, instructor of the 101st Field Artillery, and Captain Gammell, instructor of the Field Artillery Brigade Headquarters. The Regiment derived much benefit from their able teachings, advice and hearty cooperation. 7. The rations, forage, and other supplies were satisfactory both as to quality and quantity. R. W. ECKFELDT, Colonel, F. A., Mass. N. G., Commanding, 102d F. A. Aug. 21, 1928.

To The Adjutant General:

1. Pursuant to Par. 1, j. SO 119, A. G. 0., Mass., dated June 15, 1928, report is hereby made on the Field Training Period of the 101st Engineers, July 7-21 inclusive, 1928. 2. Troop Movement. The movement of troops from the Home Stations to Camp Devens on July 7, and the return movement on July 21 were made with- P.D. 7. 49 out any change in ordered schedule, accident, or loss. The condition of the troops on arrival in Camp as a result of bus transportation made for a prompt and orderly occupation of the area, and an earlier start on the training program for the Regiment. 3. Barracks. The Camp Utilities had repaired roofs, ranges, steps, latrines, and some supports of the barracks before the arrival of the troops. Some minor repairs were made by the Regiment. Considerable structural work will be required, especially on footings and posts, before occupation another year. 4. Infantry Training. The Infantry Training included: (a) Basic training for recruits, July 7-14, under the direction of officers and N. C. O.'s especially fitted for recruit instruction. {h) Close order drill; School of the Company, as required for ceremonies. (c) Minor tactics, including a manoeuvre during the day and evening of July 16, with advance guard instruction, outposts, march discipline, bivouac, messing in the field, etc. (d) Organization of the ground for a battalion Center of Resistance, combining Infantry and Engineer features. (e) Training emphasized the functioning of the platoons as the normal combat group for Infantry, as well as the normal work group for Engineer tasks. 5. Engineer Training. The Engineer Training included: (a) Communications. The construction, repair and maintenance of dirt and plank roads, the installation and maintenance of the Lampert as well as impro- vised foot bridges, the light pontoon bridge, stream crossings, and ammunition skip for the movement of light ammunition across a stream, chasm, etc. (fe) Organization of the ground: Laying out the ground for a battalion Center of Resistance. Construction of a Brigade C. P. Construction of machine gun emplacement, splinter proof shelter, fire and approach trenches, wiring. (c) Demolitions: Instruction to specialists from each Company in the use of various types of high explosives, computations, wiring, fusing, and firing. ((i) Surveying and Sketching: Instruction to specialists from each Company in the fundamentals of sketching and map making, nomenclature and use of equipment. Practical work, including assistance to Company Commanders, in the preparation of position sketches for the organization of the ground, outposts, etc. (e) Construction: Details from the Regiment assisted other organizations of the Division by repair of Artillery observation towers, erection of boxing ring and stand, work at Division Headquarters, laying out and roping parade ground, etc. 6. Marksmanship. The Regiment entered teams in the Division Rifle and Pistol matches on July 19. Instruction in automatic rifle, including firing, was conducted for automatic riflemen from each Company. 7. Athletics. The Regiment entered contestants for boxing and wrestHng, and teams in the Division baseball league and field and track meet. A member of this Regiment also defeated a man from the 13th Infantry for the Camp wrestling championship. 8. Guard Duty. An interior guard was maintained throughout the tour, supplemented as required by fire and stable guards. Especial attention was given the recruits of the Regiment in the duties of the guard, their general and special orders. 9. Ceremo7iies. Ceremonies were conducted daily, regimental parade and guard mounting being held daily when the Regiment was not required to participate in a divisional review. These ceremonies constituted practically the entire close order drill required from the Command during this tour of duty. 10. Discipline. No arrests or confinements in the Guard House were necessary during this tour of duty. 11. Morale. Morale of the troops was high, increased by interest in athletics and other activities, good messing, competition between platoons and companies. MELVIN H. LEONARD, Colonel, 101st Engrs., Mass. N. G., Commanding. July 30, 1928. 50 P.D. 7. REPORT OF THE ANNUAL TOUR OF DUTY OF THE lOlST MEDICAL REGIMENT. To The Adjutant General: July 7th Lt. Col. Jenkins; the Adjutant, and Major MacCullagh reported for duty at Camp Devens, Massachusetts, Friday evening, July 6, 1928. Regimental Headquarters and Division Surgeon's Offices were provisionally estabhshed on the evening of the 6th. This procedure faciUtated the handhng of the work for Saturday morning. The troops of the Medical Regt. began to arrive at 9:45 a.m. Saturday morning, July 7, 1928. The 101st Veterinary Co. arrived first. The 101st Ambulance Co. arrived shortly after followed by the 102d Ambulance Co. The last two companies came in their own ambulances. The Service Co. and the 101st Hos- pital Co. arrived via bus from Boston, at about 12 noon. The functions of the regiment went very smoothly. Morning reports were submitted on time. The Company Commanders carried out their assignments, reports, and details efficiently. The Officers' Mess was under the supervision of Major Blanchard. Major Blanchard was also detailed as Gas Officer and Athletic Officer for the regiment. The Guard was immediately posted; three posts being designated. Evening Parade was held at 5:15 p.m. Formal Dress. In the evening there was a Band Concert outside the Officers' Quarters. The evening was passed in usual regimental activities.

July 8th:

7-8 A.M. Usual regimental activities. 8:30 a.m. Church. 10-12 Noon. Regimental activities. 12:15 p.m. Mess. 5 p.m. Evening Parade. (Was satisfactory, but there was considerable criti- cism.) 6:15 p.m. Mess. 7-10 P.M. No other incidents of note.

July 9th:

8:00 to 11:00 a.m. Regimental activities, Training Program followed by companies, Recruit School started. Lecture on Camp Sanitation by Major Dudley, N. C. O.'s School by Sgt. Hilton, D. E. M. L., Guard Mount: Formal, the first to be held by the regiment. This Guard Mount was carried through successfully but was rather crudely performed. Sgt. Bergin who has recently joined the regiment was of great assistance in carrying out our first guard mount. Evening Parade was held in rear of the Officers Quarters. Morale of regiment was high. Training Program was carried out efficiently. The evening parade was a great improvement over last year. July 10th:

7:00 to 8:00 a.m. Usual regimental activities. 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. Training Schedule followed out closely. In the afternoon there was a Lecture and N. C.

July 11th:

7:00 to 8:00 a.m. Usual regimental activities. 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. Training Schedule followed. This was last day of recruit school. It is felt that 3 day recruit school is not sufficient to satisfactorily train new men. Five days as was the case in former years seems necessary. The afternoon was spent in preparation for the Divisional Review to Major General Brown. P.D. 7. 51 Juhj 12th:

The Review took place at 4 p.m. The Review was in complete field equipment. Every effort was made to make a good impression on General Brown. This frame of mind was stimulated by a talk the previous day by Major General Foote. The regiment during this review performed well, but the distance and intervals between companies were faulty. 5:00 to 10:00 p.m. Spent in usual regimental activities.

During the game two spectators, on 2d Ave., behind the catcher, were hit by foul balls. One of them, a soldier on horseback, looked as if he might have a fractured jaw. 12:00. Mess. Arrangements were made to mess Y. D. Guests, in accordance with orders received the previous day. None arrived. 4:00 P.M. The Regiment participated in the Division Review tendered to Major General Edwards and the former members of the old Y. D.

The troops carried the problem very satisfactorily. Usual Guard maintained during problem.

July 17th:

6 :00 to 7 :55 a.m. The Commanding Officer made reconnaissance of Bivouac, also 1st phase of problem, then 2d phase. 12:00 Noon. The entire problem finished. 12:30.

July 20th:

7:00 to 8:00. Usual routine activities. 10:00 to 12:00. Full field inspection by companies. The rest of the day was spent in preparation for the return to Home Station.

July 21st: ^ Units returned to Home Station as outlined in orders from Division Head- quarters. While there was some delay in the departure from Camp, departure was finally effected without unnecessary movement.

The Camp as a whole appeared to be a success. The individual units appeared to take more interest in their particular duties and executed them with more efficiency than in previous years. The morale was high in both officers and men. FRANK P. WILLIAMS, Colonel, M. C, Commanding.

To The Adjutant General:

1. Pursuant to Par. 1 (j). Special Orders 119, A. G. 0. (Mass.), dated June 15, 1928, the following report covering the annual tour of field training of the 26th Division Train, Mass. N. G., July 7 to July 21, 1928, inclusive, is herewith submitted. 2. The motorized sections of this organization started baggage movement of the 26th Division, Mass. N. G., less the 104th Infantry and Artillery Brigade, from home stations to Camp Devens, July 5, completing the movement of baggage July 6 at 9:00 p.m. The organization as a whole reported at Camp Devens at 6.00 a.m., July 7. The movement of personnel and equipment of the organization was made by motor vehicles assigned to units of this organization, and in addition to a total of fifty-four (54) three ton loads of baggage of other units in the Division were transported to Camp Devens. 3. The schedule outline of the Train for this tour of duty was^ submitted by the Acting Train Commander and was followed, as far as consistent, with the prime object of giving as much field training as possible to wagon and motor transport companies, and the motor repair section. Changes in the schedule were made only to meet the various demands of the Division. P.D. 7. 53 4. The overnight camp, July 11 and 12 at the old Remount Station proved to be of great value to the Train, as the motorized units were routed on main road to Shirley Rifle Range, thence by sand road to main highway to Fitchburg to Ayer, which certainly proved that unit commanders had received training in regard to the handling of vehicles when stuck in sand or mud. 5. The wagon companies, taking different routes of rough and heavy traveling, handled their animals and wagons in a very satisfactory manner for the little training received. The wagon companies should be fully equipped and trained in the handling of animals, if they are to remain as a part of this organization. 6. The Motor Repair Section has already proved that it is a very necessary part of the Division in maintaining over forty (40) vehicles in the Division Train and it also has cared for other vehicles of the Division. 7. The return of baggage was handled very satisfactorily with the able assistance of the various Supply Officers in the Division. 8. A recruit school, operating under a well arranged program for the field training period, was most satisfactory, as the instruction received enlightened the men, giving them a much wider knowledge of the duties of a soldier than they would have received in a much longer period in weekly drills. 9. Morale. I am very much pleased to report that in this organization there appears to be a satisfactory esprit de corps as evidenced by attendance at camp and consistent re-enhstments in our companies. 10. Recommendations. A. That the motorized units of this organization be fully equipped with authorized vehicles. B. That motor organization units be assigned to one armory with proper storing accommodations for vehicles. C. That motor repair sections be assigned to said armory with motorized units. D. That two mechanics be assigned to each motor unit, and also to the repair section. E. I also recommend that the amount of baggage taken by organizations of the Division for field service be in accordance with that hsted in tables of Cir- cular 58, W. D., 1923. WILLIAM H. MOBBS, Major, Q. M. C, Mass. N. G., Commanding. July 31, 1928.

To The Adjutant General:

1. Under the provisions of Par. 4, S. 0. No. 119, A. G. O., Mass., 1928, the 241st Coast Artillery, less Battery E, performed its annual tour of field duty at Fort H. G. Wright, N. Y., July 29 to August 12, 1928. Battery E was on Strike Duty at New Bedford but was relieved and reported for duty at Fort H. G. Wright August 4 and remained until August 18. 2. The personnel, less baggage details, was transported by railroad to New London, Connecticut, thence by Q. M. steamers to Fort H. G. Wright; baggage details accompanied the baggage on trucks furnished by the State Quartermaster, leaving home stations Friday morning, July 27, and arriving at Fort Wright Saturday morning, July 28. Returning, left Fort Wright Sunday morning, August 12, arriving at home stations Monday morning, August 13. 3. This method of moving baggage by truck, first tried in 1927, has again proved to have every advantage over rail transportation. 4. The troop and baggage movement was smooth and without incident. The Federal inspector Major Donald N. Ashbridge met the regiment on arrival of train at New London dock. He highly commended the discipline and lack of confusion in troop movement from train to boats and from boats to camp at Fort Wright. 5. The training schedule was completed with the exception of the main objective — a successful target practice. Rain and fog interfered to such an extent that not a shot could be fired in service practice except for Battery E, Captain Richard Hoyle, on Monday August 13. This battery fired 6 record shots in 7 minutes scoring 2 hits on moving target at range of 12,000-14,000 yards. 54 P.D. 7.

6. Every tour of field duty demonstrates the inadequacy of present authorized strength for a proper functioning as 12 harbor defense units. There should be a minimum of 75 men per gun or mortar battery — or an increase of 144 men for the regiment. Each battery should have its own spotting section which is not possible with present limitation of strength. 7. Athletic program was successfully carried out. Battery C, Captain Charles W. Harris won both the regimental track meet and baseball championship. 8. The regiment was honored by visits from Major General Preston Brown, Brigadier General William P. Jackson, Brigadier General Jesse F. Stevens, Colonel A. W. Foreman, Lt. Col. Porter B. Chase, Lt. Col. Harry G. Chase, Lt. Col. Harry D. Comerais, and many former officers of the regiment. 9. It is hoped it will not again be necessary to begin this tour of duty on Sun- day, there being many advantages in beginning and ending the tour on Saturday. 10. The camp site was much improved by an entirely new system of sewerage, larger drain pipes having replaced the former pipe lines which were quite inadequate. 11. Further expenditure of available funds should be devoted to completion of reroofing mess halls, cementing mess hall floors and draining and grading the ground surrounding mess halls. 12. The new administration and supply building had not been completed for use at this camp. This structure will fill a long felt want. 13. The new aviation field now under construction will faciUtate the control of airplane observation for service practice. 14. The health of the command was excellent throughout the period. 15. Colonel Hilton, the Commanding Officer at Fort H. G. Wright and his officers, cooperated with us to the fullest extent. 16. On Sunday, August 12th, Captain Hoyle, commanding Battery E, reported for duty to Lt. Col. Lafayette E. Evans, commanding the 242nd C. A. (H. D.), Conn. N. G., and completed his second week under his command. Col. Evans instructed him to follow out so far as possible the training schedule of the 241st. Battery E joined the 242nd regiment for ceremonies. 17. The average strength of the regiment present for duty was —

Officers 93.33% Enlisted Men 98.25% Total 97.93%

Batteries A, E, G, H, I, K and M had 100% attendance. 18. The Commanding Officer desires to commend the senior instructor, Capt. Valentine P. Foster, U. S. A., for his tireless energy, good judgment and tact. Captain Foster was ably assisted by 1st Lieut. Paul W. George, U. S. A. who reported for duty with this regiment 15 days prior to this tour of duty. GEORGE M. KING, Colonel, 24-1 st C. A. {H. D.), Commanding. Dec. 26, 1928.

To The Adjutant General: The 211th Coast Artillery (First Corps Cadets) conducted its Annual Tour of Camp duty at Peters Pond, Sandwich, Mass., July 21 to August 4, 1928. Results. Attendance: Excellent, to a degree never before attained. 273 men on roUs, exclusive of band, of whom fourteen were excused or out of the country. All absentees will be immediately dropped whether reasons are good or bad. The Corps is now in a position to demand 100% participation. Health: Excellent. No flies at all owing to sanitary measures controlled by Surgeon. PrevaiUng winds considered in laying out the camp site. Morale: High. First time group singing has been heard in two years. The contribution of the band to the general morale of the command can not be too highly estimated, both at camp and in the Armory. The Y. M. C. A. of their own volition furnished a 40 x 60 tent with reading and writing facilities as weU as motion pictures. P.D. 7. 55 Training: Effective, particularly with the primary armament. The machine gun range gave good fundamental training, and the open field of fire at the Town Neck permitted the full practice course. The result was of such high order that it is expected the Corps will place high in the Army and National Guard records for the year. The 3 inch gun firing showed 27% hits, which is extremely good. The Searchlight not only worked out satisfactorily in action, but obtained much valuable field training in handling equipment over difficult terrain. Quarters: Satisfactory. A Tent Camp on the Cape is ideal. Mess: The best since the war, the majority of the cooks and Mess Sergeants being overseas men. Latrines: Harvard Type. Satisfactory. Bathing: Peters Pond Beach satisfactory, but money should be provided for a proper approach to a pier in front of Camp, with float. A boat should be provided. Showers. None on account of funds. Should be provided, with larger or additional tank. Bathing at Town Neck excellent but cold. Water: Supplied by driven well at suggestion of Dept. of Health. Quality unknown, although there was much correspondence and telephoning but no report. Two separate samples sent. Communication: Phone — satisfactory owing to energy of Lieutenant Sweeney and detail who took three week-ends and ran wire 4^ miles to obtain separate line. Interior — well run and promptly installed by communication detail, but of no real value. Should be eliminated next j^ear except for practice. Radio — excellent for purpose intended. New issue set put in operation, and when connection with firing point was desired the two operators went home and made an extra receiving and sending set from parts belonging to themselves. Panel — satisfactory. Operated by Instructor Sergeant Reeder. Airplane Missions: The best yet. Complete understanding brought about by presence of Lieutenant Evans and Private Anderson in camp. Tracking and towing 100% as per schedule, with but little time lost due to failure of target apparatus. Pilot showed great zeal and ability and was greatly assisted by thoroughness of his mechanic. Landing Field: Has possibilities, but very rough on account of curtailment of funds. There are two fields available giving ample and safe facilities in any wind, and in the interest of safety to the aviators and lessening maintenance or damage to their planes a certain amount of mowing, grading, seeding and rolling must be done. The amount allowed for this item covered simply the mowing of one field but not the levelling, which caused several rough landings. The site has excellent possibilities with a very moderate outlay. Camp Site: Aside from the levelling for the landing field and the bathhouse and bathing improvements the site needs little else except an improvement on the road commenced this year. This item must meet with the concurrence of the owners, of course, and should be constructed by civilian labor and equipment. Visitors: This organization does not believe in the shotgun method of invitation, by means of a printed card addressed by hired clerks. It did however en- deavor to show its respect by inviting the following personages:

Governor Alvan T. Fuller Major General Andrew Hero, Jr. Major General Creed C. Hammond Major General Preston Brown Brigadier General Jesse F. Stevens Brigadier General William P. Jackson

Of these the last three accepted. Reviews were tendered to General Stevens and General Jackson and a Guard of Honor to General Brown, who arrived by plane. About 60 veterans appeared on Veterans' day, some fifteen remaining over night. They came in spite of the rain and showed the new men what Corps spirit meant. In addition each evening parade and band concert drew from fifty to a thousand civilians. The two night firing problems were witnessed by several thousand persons. 56 P.D. 7.

Relation to Citizens: Bearing in mind that the missions of this Organization was in part to dispel any antipathy to the Guard amongst the people of the Cape, the rule was first laid down to "Mind your own business." Secondly, the band was sent to Sandwich, Orleans and Hyannis at the invitation of the board of selectmen, who sent their own transportation. Thirdly, upon the invitation of about seventy business men of Hyannis, the Adjutant addressed them, giving details as to the history and the work of the Corps. From all of these there has been received a cordial invitation to return. Commendations: The following commendations are warranted: The A. G. 0. for complete cooperation at all times, day or night, before, during and after the camp. The State Quartermaster, for the same reason. The State Inspector General, for clear-eyed helpful suggestions all of which are being put to use. Captain Harrington, Federal Inspector, for entering into the spirit and problems of the work as if he were an active officer of the command, with the result that much confidence was gained by the gun-crews. Lieutenant Evans, pilot and Private Anderson, mechanic, for accuracy of performance and absolute faithfulness and cooperation. Lieutenant Robinson, Federal Instructor, for energy, directness and effectiveness in coordinating the training of the command. He left no opportunity for anybody to fail and inspired confidence in the gun-crews. Mr. Pierson, Ordnance Machinist, who kept the armament in operating condition under primary field condition. 1st Sergeant Sullivan, 101st Motor Transport, for zeal and energy in the difficult task of keeping the fleet of trucks in operation. The Y. M. C. A., for quietly stepping in and furnishing a very valuable adjunct to the camp life. Captain Fales, for having the most complete, best trained and effective battery. Captain Spencer, for taking the weakest battery of July, 1927, and bringing it to camp with 63 men on the rolls and 63 men present. Of these twelve were overseas veterans. Captain Parkins and Lieutenant Fenwick, for unfailing energy in protecting the sanitation of the camp, with the result that no sickness occurred from this source. Lieutenant Pearce, for the usual diligence and loyalty which has always marked his service, particularly with regard to the advance and rear details. Lieutenant Biggar, for procuring and returning the guns loaned by the 197th C. A. in an orderly fashion, and for generally executing his missions quietly and successfully. Lieutenant Sweeney, for dihgence and effectiveness in organizing a volunteer detail to lay about 4^ miles of telephone wire on extra week-ends. Sergeant Wihtol, for not only producing and maintaining a band, which func- tioned successfully and kept its street in such order as to arouse commendation from visiting officers, but for having a waiting list of candidates for membership. Master Sergeant Ochs, for efficient handhng of the consolidated communications detail. Privates Fisher and Ronquist, Hq. Det., for manufacturing a special radio set to obtain communication with the firing point.

Recommendations for 1929. Same camp site. July 20 to August 3. Spend about $3,000 on preparation of camp site and field. Get Town of Sandwich to lengthen runway at firing point. Two Reserve C. A. (A-A) oflftcers attached. Borrow one 3 inch gun from New Hampshire again. Enough transportation so that CO., attached officers and inspectors can have something to do their work in. Ambulance. Fuel pump on wheels. P.D. 7. 57

Officers' school June 7, 8, 9th. Pursuit Plane assigned for one day to show command the difference between this type of possible war target and the regular observation planes to which they are accustomed. HORACE Z. LANDON, Lt. Col., SI 1th C. A. (A-A). Aug. 11, 1928.

To The Adjutant General:

1. In accordance with orders duly received the fifteen day period of field training of the 110th Cavalry was held at Quonset Point, Rhode Island, July 28 to August 11, 1928. 2. The report of this tour of duty is submitted by the Commanding Officer, accompanied with annexes explaining in detail the operations of the camp affect- ing the several staff sections. 3. For the second consecutive year this Regiment is happy to report an attendance of one hundred per cent of its officers and men for at least a part of the tour of duty. 4. The morning report of the second day in camp showed a total present of 378 officers and men, 203 riding animals and 12 draft animals. The Regiment had the use of all Cavalry horses from Massachusetts and of 12 draft animals, hired by authority duly received, and had the use also of all available riding animals from the Rhode Island Cavalry, but did not receive from the Connecticut Cavalry as many riding animals as information filed at Corps Area Headquarters indicated were drawing Federal allowances. It was obviously impossible to mount 378 individuals on 203 animals and it was likewise impracticable to give proper Cavalry training with such a shortage of horses. The situation was reported to The Adjutant General. In compliance with his immediate action 34 additional hired mounts were received and accordingly it became possible to proceed with the program of Cavalry training as originally outlined. 5. The 110th Cavalry was fortunate in receiving recognition in the visits of numerous noted guests, the number of whom is reported in detail in the R-1 annexed to this report. The Troops were reviewed by Lieutenant-Governor Frank G. Allen of Massachusetts and also, upon another occasion by Governor Norman S. Case of Rhode Island, who had himself in previous days been a member of this Regiment. Major-General Preston Brown, Commanding First Corps Area, flew down from Boston by aeroplane, was tendered a review by the Troops and saw them march straightway off the field to engage in an elaborate two day manoeuvre involving a study of the service of reconnoissance, all as set forth in detail in the R-3 annex. 6. On another occasion Major-General Morris B. Paine, Commanding the 42d Division, and Brigadier-General James A. Hagerty of the same Division, flew to Quonset Point from Niantic, Connecticut, in two aeroplanes and were present with Governor Case when he received the review of the Troops. Reviews were likewise tendered both to Brigadier-General Jesse F. Stevens, the Adjutant Gen- eral of Massachusetts, and to Brigadier-General Arthur C. Cole, the Adjutant General of Rhode Island, upon their official visits at camp. 7. The two day manoeuvre above referred to, and fully explained in the annexes, spread the Regiment over a larger amount of terrain than has previously been attempted and proved a very valuable and interesting element in the training. In this manoeuvre Regimental Headquarters and the Regimental reserve moved to a point about seven miles from the regular camp and the advance detachments were at least seven miles further out; thus involving a problem of thirty miles marching within the two days, in addition to that incurred by the combat features of the manoeuvre. 8. The Regiment suffered severely from lack of an adequate refrigerating equipment, or large enough ice box so that fresh meats and vegetables could be kept. The distance of the markets from which these materials were required to be obtained under the present contract system, and the delay in making de- liveries by the several contract firms, were such as to require the delivery at the camp of these items from 12 to 24 hours in advance of the time of need for their 58 P.D. 7. use. The ice boxes were so inadequate that there was no means of storing them and it was possible only to buy the more expensive cuts of meat, as there was no place where an entire quarter of beef could be put in refrigeration. 9. The Commanding Officer of the Regiment wishes to express gratitude for many accommodations and services of all kinds received from the officials of the State of Rhode Island, as well as from those of Massachusetts and for the excellent service rendered by the Y. M. C. A. which maintained continually rooms for the social enjoyment of the members of the Regiment at camp. DANA T. GALLUP, Colonel.

Oct. 8, 1928.

To The Adjutant General:

1. In compliance with paragraph 5 (h) S. 0. 110, A. G. O., Mass., 1928, the following report on the Annual Tour of Camp Duty of the 3d Battahon, 372d Infantry at Camp Devens, Mass., July 21 to August 4, inclusive, is submitted: (a) Attendance: The highest numlDer of men attending camp was 256 out of a total strength of 283 on the rolls. Headquarters Company, 3d Battalion, Com- pany M, and the Medical Detachment had 100 per cent present in Camp. (6) Program of Instruction: The Camp Program was carried out as laid down in Training Memorandum No. 7, July 2, 1928. (1) Training Objective: A satisfactory degree of proficiency towards the training objective was attained. Leaders of squads, sections, and platoons performed combat duties exceptionally well in maneuvers. The organization had to forego all range practice due to inadequate facilities, the range being in constant use by the 101st F. A., Mass. N. G., and the C. M. T. C. The Machine Gun Company built a 1,000 inch range adjacent to the Battalion area. It is recommended that some steps be taken to allow this organization to qualify men at Camp, since there is no range available at the home station that can be utilized without great expense and inconvenience. The general efficiency of the organization was com- mendable. The guidon streamer awarded daily to the unit making the best showing was won oftenest by Company M. (c) Subsistence: The men were well fed and satisfied. W. D. M. B. Doc. 916 was used as a guide. The daily kitchen banner was won the greatest number of times by Company M, although Company L was tied until the final award. (d) Attached Personnel: Capt. Norman N. Rayner, Q. M.-Res. was assistant to the Supply Officer; 1st Lt. James H. Brooks, Q. M.-Res. supervised the messes and directed the Officers' mess; 1st Lt. Clifford L. Miller, Chaplain-Res. performed duties appropriate to his office. (e) Commendations: Major Frank T. McCabe, Inf. (D. O. L.) the Instructor, gave invaluable aid during the tour. Staff Sergeant Alvin Williams (D. E. M. L.), stood always ready to work for the best interests of the camp. reviewed the troops (/) Distinguished Visitors: His Excellency, the Governor, on Friday, July 27, in company with the Adjutant General and his Staff. facilities in making {g) The Battalion was greatly hampered by transportation and breaking Camp. Company baggage was carried to Camp by the Advance Detail in Quartermaster trucks and stored in an empty barrack near our area. When the 101st Medical Regiment broke camp, we had no means of transporting baggage or subsistence already drawn from the Quartermaster to our new quarters. Although promised trucks we received none until Sunday morning when one truck with civilian driver was received. To establish the men in quarters Saturday we had to borrow a truck from Lt. Peck for two hours. We were also forced to borrow a truck from the 13th Infantry in order to get straw for bedding. Work of breaking camp was seriously delayed by the same situation, because the trucks sent from Framingham with civilian drivers could be used only between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. It is recommended that some steps be taken to relieve this organization of the difficulty in handhng supplies and equipment. LARKLAND F. HEWITT, Majm-, 372d Inf., Mass. N. G., Commanding. Aug. 10, 1928. P.D. 7. 59
