The address Of the Commander in Chief. with
the reports Of the Committee on Pensions and the
Council Of administration, which were presented
10 and adopted by the last National EDcamp-
ment have been distributed. They contain
much OF interest 10 every comrade and should
be read aloud in each Post Promptness and
care in forwarding reports for the present
quarter is strenuously urged. Many of the
ports for the second quarter showed extreme care
lessness especially on the part of Quartermasfers
The most common error was misstatement of
the balance On hand AZ last report showing that
copy Of such report had not been kept or if kept,
had not been consulted. Il copy should be kept
in all cases and care taken that the next report
corresponds with it. Another was failure OF
the Adiutants and Quartermasters reports TO
agree IN the number in good standing. Such error
j SIMPLY the result OF mol comparing the two before
forwarding. IN this connection attention is called
to the mistake made by some Posts IN forwarding
the QaaTter5Inasters report to the A q. II. G. The
reports and the per capita tax should be for
warded TO the Assistant Adjutant General. Where
