this year in cloth for blouses. An order
for $50 of them will be given this week.
In discussing the lack OF equipments
for the regiment with Dispatch reporter
the Colonel said:
There have been fewer recruits during
the past six months than in any IKE
period for years past. The sentiment IS
gaining ground that unless something IL
done to remedy this condition there Will
be much disaffection in the ranks. The
regiment has received scarcely any stores
since 1892 Last year the Inspector-Gen-
eral spoke in his report on the First
Regiment OF the bad condition OF their
uniforms. This year they will be much
worse"
