General Orders No. H.
/. Colonies commanding win forward Command
ery-in-Chief General Orders to Camps Immediately
upon receipt of the same from these Headquarters.
Several HagrHn cases OF negligence in this line have
occurred recently. Further failure TO observe this
Order will call forth direct Feprimand in General
Orders.
H. The Councils of several Divisions have up to
date failed to the bond of the Colonel com
manding in compliance with Section Q, General
Orders 10. IS. This must be done forthwith
III. The Commander in Chief has been request
ed by several Colonies to again call the attention
OF the Order to an attempt being made by the rep
rescntatives of the Sons of Veterans Mutual Benefit
Association of Lowell Mass, to secure encouT-
agement from Order. The CommRnder-in-
Chief, after careful investigation into the eond-
ton of the institution, finds that several of its
principal representatives not members of the
Sons of Veterans in good standing and advises the
Order at large to have nothing to do with it. The
institution failed to receive the Endorsement of the
Division of Massachusetts, within whose borders it
exists, an Endorsement which it would have re-
ceived had II been deserving of it.
~. In instances where Captains OF Camps fail TO
have the quarterly reports due the Division Head
quarters forwarded by the prescribed time, the
AdJutant will prefer formal charges against such
Captains, whereupon the Colonel com manding will
suspend them, placing the First Lieutenant in COM
mand until such reports are forthcoming.
