1t is diff1cult to conceive wherein a hitch
can occur. Mr.. Al. p. Geier. the well-known
Washington grocer, is the assistant COM
missary Of the fifth battalion. and his long
business training especially fits him for
this particular duty. He will prepare a
shipping bill for each day and every article
is to be promptly on hand at the tine
needed. Two teams and three men are en-
gagged at the Washington end of the COM
missary department, and there is sufficient
work in view to keep them all busy until
after the outing.
The cooking will be done by FIVE cooks,
with James Taylor. a veteran army cook,
as chef" Taylor has been attached to
the commissary department of the fifth
battalion for five years and has given gen.
eral satisfaction to all concerned during
that period. The force of company walters
are TO be divided into two squads. Squad
No. II Is to look after the tables known as
Row A. which will be subdivilei into
sections to correspond with the number of
the waiter. The number is to be promi-
nently displayed on the front of each cap
Squad No. l. must also wash the dishes
scrub the tables after each meal, and po-
lice the mess tent. The duties to lie at
waiting on Row B." are peeling potatoes
carrying water, cutting wood and trans
porting supplies from the wharf TO the
tent.
Capt William H. Myers, the battalion
Quartermaster, is in charge of the COM
missary department in the field. He is
assisted by Lieut.. Kingsley, Quartsrmaster
of the fourth battalion. Commissary Sergt.
r. f. Van Norsdell of the second regiment
Post Commissary Sergt. James ID. Leeman
and Quartermaster Sergt. Il. L. Barton
In arranging the matters in connection
with this department Maj. Suess believes
that not the slightest detail has been over
looked. and two hours after the arrival Of
the command at Marshall Hall everything
should be running in regulation style.
The menu card will be ready for pablica-
ton on Thursday next, and is to be posted
on the bulletin board by the first sergeant
each day after retreat.
