REPORT OF
THE ADJUTANT GENERAL OF
WEST VIRGINIA
1921-22
VY 353.9 23N
LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
December 1, 1922.
HON. EPHRAIM F. MORGAN, Governor, West Virginia, Charleston.
SIR :
I have the honor to submit the following report for the period ending September 30, 1923 :
"December 1, 1922.
When the duties of the office were assumed, the State had no National Guard. A force of Enrolled Militia located at William- son, W. Va., whose term of enlistment would expire on August 27, 1921, was the only military force existent. From this force Com- pany "I" was recruited, and on September 21 was inspected and accepted by the Federal authorities.
During this period, a force of from 6,000 to 8,000 miners, armed and with complete organization for subsistence had assembled near Marmet and marched overland to Blair and attacked the Sheriff of Logan County and the volunteer forces gathered by him. The marchers were stopped and held at Blair and at the head of Crooked Creek, until Federal troops arrived and replaced the volunteer defenders.
Following this trouble companies were recruited in Logan, Welch, Charleston, St. Albans, Beckley, Mt. Hope, Parsons, Mullens, Pt. Pleasant and Clendenin, now consisting of 56 officers and 1039 enlisted men, assigned to 17 units of Infantry, and one unit of Military Police.
The allocation of troops by the Militia Bureau for the year 1921 was originally.
For Division Troops
1 Regiment of Infantry
For Corps Troops
1 Artillery Battalion (155 Howitzer)
1 Anti-aircraft Machine Gun Battalion
54380
4
REPORT OF THE WEST VIRGINIA
1 Military Police Battalion
1 Service Battalion
Because of lack of appropriation by Congress this allocation was reduced to the Regiment of Infantry, but Company "A," 104th Military Police Battalion having been organized, the State has been permitted to retain it.
The units were organized in accordance with the National De- fense Act, which requires a minimum of 50 enlisted men for the first six months after recognition and a minimum of 65 enlisted after that time. The physical and mental requirements are the same as those of the Regular Army, so that if called into Federal service none will be lost because of physical or mental infirmity. The personnel of the units is of a very high class and all the officers, except one, and a majority of the enlisted men were in the service during the World War.
The scheme of instruction for 1922 included (1) a school of instruction for officers, at Charleston, January 19 and 20; (2) a school of instruction for officers and enlisted men at Nitro, W. Va., June 19 to 22 inclusive, and (3) a period of Field Training at Camp Knox, Kentucky, from August 5 to August 20, inclusive, and arrangements therefor were completed; but, owing to con- ditions existing at that time, it was deemed inexpedient to go to Camp Knox and permission was obtained from the Secretary of War, through the Militia Bureau and the Corps Area Commander, to hold the field training in two camps, simultaneously, during the above period, one at Nitro, W. Va., Camp Morgan. under com- mand of Col. William E. Eubank, in which the Headquarters Company, Service Company (less band section, one-half period ). Howitzer Company. Headquarters Company 2nd Battalion, Com- panies E. F. G. H, I, K, and M participated, and one at Barrack- ville. W. Va .. Camp Reed, under command of Lt. Col. Tom C. Davis, in which Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion. Com- panies A, B, C, D. Band Section of Service Company, for one- half period. 150th Infantry and Company A, 104th Military Poliee Battalion participated.
These schools and the Field Camp of Instruction were produc- tive of much good. The high state of discipline, the manner in which the officers and enlisted men absorbed the instruction, and the spirit in which the work was carried on was a revelation to the Instructors on duty at the camps and secured high commenda-

tion from them and from Major General G. W. Reed who made a personal visit of inspection to both camps.
On July 10, this office was advised by the Chief, Militia Bureau, that no funds would be available to pay the expenses of any rifle teams to compete at Camp Perry, and preparations for selecting and developing a rifle team for the State was abandoned. On August 21, we were advised that if the State could save from its allotment of funds for Field Camps of Instruction enough to pay the expenses of rifle teams the matches at Camp Perry would be possible, and that the saving could be applied for that purpose. Enough was saved by West Virginia, and a team selected to rep- resent the State. There was no time in which to hold a compe- tition or practice, as was done prior to 1916, but each organization was asked to send a representative who gave promise of being able to fairly represent the State. The members selected assembled at Charleston, September 1, and left the same day for Camp Perry, returning September 30 after having beaten out ten teams on the final shoot, and several members having won prizes in open com- petition. I am proud of the result attained under such adverse circumstances. A list of the team and the scores made is attached to this report. It is believed, with the progress made, that from this time other States will have to "look to their laurels."
As soon as our State started organizing units, the War Depart- ment arranged to furnish us with officers of the Army as Instruc- tors. Major W. H. Gullion was detailed first and followed one week later by Colonel F. B. Shaw, who rendered us valuable assistance in organizing and instructing the several units. The detail was in a short time increased, Captains Lewis Simons and F. R. Brockschink and four regular army Sergeants reporting for duty. Thesc officers and men supervise the instruction and" visit the several units to note their progress and give such instruc- tion as needed.
On July 15, 1922, Colonel Shaw was transferred to the Corps Area Headquarters and placed in charge of the National Guard affairs for the Area.
The experience of the World War taught that the National Guard is a real asset and that the time and money spent in its development was well spent and the results obtained were very gratifying, in spite of the fact that every obstacle possible was thrown in the Guardsmans path, when war was first declared.

STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA
[W. VA.
In fact the 2nd Regiment W. V. N. G., with 50 officers and 973 men well trained and hardened by nine months continuous service, six months of which was spent in the Mexican Border Service, was mustered out at Huntington, West Virginia, on March 24 and sent to home stations, only to be called' out again on April 2.
At this time conditions have changed and a spirit of helpfulness and co-operation seems to pervade the Army and the National Guard is receiving marked attention and assistance.
Our National Guard requires two actions at the hands of the Legislature. (1) Funds for current expenses and (2) armories for the care of equipment and for drill purposes for the' units ; and a provision for armories would reduce materially the annual appropriation for expense. The rentals of buildings for use of troops now amount to more than twenty thousand dollars, and will be more than doubled when we have completed the allotment of troops for 1923. This enormous sum is being spent for buildings that are only in part suitable for armory purposes, and such as do not offer any opportunity for social development or in any manner assist in making a National Guard unit the point of interest in the community, and thus keeping before the best elements of the community the benefit and necessities of the Nation's second line of defense. Beg to suggest that this phase of the Guard's need be given special attention. That a building program be inaugurated that will in a very few years secure to the State suitable buildings and stop the ceaseless rental expense, and, as our State continues to develop, these properties will increase in value year after year, as our rentals are now increasing yearly.
On June 27. 1922, the Sheriff of Tucker County called on the Commanding Officer of Company A, 104th Military Police Bat- talion to assist him in maintaining Law and Order because of a march of armed men at Thomas, West Virginia. The command reported and was on duty July 2. The only casualties was an officer and an enlisted man injured when a coach on which they were returning to Parsons, with prisoners, left the track and rolled down the hill about 50 feet. Lieut. John C. Plumb received internal injuries, and Sgt. Walter E. Price. leg broken above the ankle.
