National Guard Notes and rifle adoption details
The Hot Springs citizens push to organize a National Guard company and Yankton postpones its February 22 event to April 30, marking Washington’s 105th inauguration anniversary. A War Department rifle, Krug-Jorgensen No 4, is described with 30 caliber, five round magazine, single loader option, and a 2000 yard sight, while bayonet design shifts to a knife bayonet. Independent press commentary on Hawaii policy cites multiple major dailies opposing the administration, calling it a humiliation and a serious error.
