II Is hoped that ali ahO are using any OF the
old STYLES VIII al once destroy them and OBJ
tain electrotvpes of those officially recognized
They win be supplied TO Posts only through
their respective Department Headquarters by
National Headquarters and at greatly reduced
prices. In conversation with Quartermaster-
General Taylor, he informed me that there
has been very large demand for size No. 2,
and he Is ready TO furnish that or either OF the
other sizes al once. Comrade Taylor has been
kept quite busy lately issuing supplies to the
various DEPARTMENTS. Each outgoing Depart
ment administration, towards tho close 81 the
year is naturally disposed 70 cut down lis sup
plies as closely as possible. and, consequently,
the incoming officers have to make acquisitions
for 2 fun stock.
During the coming week General Order an
noancing he names Of additional appointments
on the stat OF the Commander-ia-Chiefwi viii be
issued. The old Department Commanders rec
commended a large number Of comrades for
such appointments. aud the new Commanders
have already. in several cases, sent in the
names Of those whom they would like 70 have
50 honOTed, So that some are almost certain 10
be disappointed.
The returns from the Departments for the
last quarter Of Iso3 being pow pretty well in,
Acknowledgement Kanderslice will commence
be abic to report on the work done up 10 the
close Of the year.
