Report of the Adjutant General.

Aojt. Gen. Drum of the L. S. A. has sub
mitted his annual report. He says:
The stale militia las improved in disci-
piine, soldieriy bearing and knowledge.
He recommends the retirement Cd full pay
of men who have faithfully served tifty-fve
years, and ar amendment OF the statue
authorizing the president to drop IRON the
rolls of army for desertion an officer
absent from duty three months without
leave, so as to include officers on the re-
tired list within the meaning of the law.
The last recommendation has u bearing on
the Nickerson case. In order to reduce the
number OF desertions, it is proposed that
the term of service be fixed at three
years. instead OF five. Its suggested that
increased pay for re-enlisting be made to
depend on immediate re-eniistment and in
the same regiment, aud that a mar r~eenlist-
ing be granted a furiongh of one, two or
three months, according to the number Of
terms he has already served. A bimonthly
settlement OF clothing accounts is recon.
mended, and a statement made in this con-
nection that the government lost $4,000
last year in clothing overdrawn by desert,
ers. The military prison at Fort Leaven-
worth la mentioned as q successful institu-
ton, under excellent management, and its
governor is recommended for promotion,
with increased pay. Notwithstanding the
great efforts to fill the army to tine author
lzed strength, it still lacks ,l49 men of the
full! quota.
