The Men Must Accept and Pay Half Cost
Take Raw Rations.
Commisssary General William jamie
son of Middletown yesterday issued a
circular to the officers of the Connecti-
cut National Guard, giving with much
detail the conclusions of the commits
sary generals department regarding
the commissariat for Camp Morris.
The circular tells of the arrangements
made for feeding the troops, as decided
upon at the meeting in Hartford few
days ago. The men are to pay one-half
of the expenses and the state one-half.
The only other feasible plan is for the
state to furnish to companies uncooked
rations, leaving the cooking to be done
by the companies by their own men, as
in the regular army, or by cooks hired
by them and for the companies 10 fur
nish, at their own expense, such add
tional supplies as they may require or
desire.
Commanding officers of all organiza-
tions of the c. N. G. are directed to
| bring this matter to the attention of
CARNATIONS prefer to receive uncooked
rations rather than adopt the plan
recommended by the officers the
commissary department must be notified
at the earliest possible moment, Ger
tainly not later than the 3lth, as the
contracts must be made without delay.
On the proposed bill of fare for the
week are soup, roast beef, lamb, veal,
liver, bacon, beefsteak, cold meats, pota,
toes, bread. butter, crackers, oysters
berries, pickles, tomatoes and melons.
The bill of fare appears to be sutti
GENTLY well calculated to develop
muscle and sustain the hardworkeC
soldiers during the week, but the alb
sence of roast chicken. turkey, duck OIL
goose, eggs in any form, pie, pudding
ice cream, ices, cake, custsrds, nuts
; raisins and like features, which Nationa
Guardsmen so much enjoy when thu '
; are privileged to pay for them, will b,
noted.
AS the men are compelled to accep
, the states bill of fare and pay for it a
: much as the same supply of food of 1
! similar quality would cost at home
there will undoubtedly be sore kick
ling" Already several companies hav
taken steps to surreptitlously obtain ad

who say that they will object to tn
