High Private" writing from Albany. says that
"the last week has been busy one at Department
HEADQUARTERS: the officials have had their HANDS
full All the reports have not been received: there
mus; always be some delnquents. and this depart
ment is not the exception. Careless and indifferent
adutants and post commanders are 10 be expected.
and though II IS annoying 10 the Assistant Adju-
tant-General he has to put up with 1t. and take his
satisfaction in writing savage letters to the tardy
ones drumming them up and making them Of pos
sIble) see the enormity OF their neglect.
The time for next Department Enoampment has
not vet been announced. AT present 1t looks as II
II will not be on February % and .. as In former
years. To be sure large percentage OF the posts
in the department have said that they prefer May
TO February but the question arises. has the Coun-
Gil OF Administration the power to change the time
OF meeting? Many comrades with whom have
talked think not. but that the matter of change
OF date rests entirely with the encampment and
not with the council. The Blue Book says: There
shall be annual meeting of each Department En-
campment before January and May OF each
year etc.
So far the responses received from the posts
throughout the State show that 90 cent wish the
encampment deferred to a later time in the year
than 1t has hitherto been held. Department Com
mander Shots will call the Council Of AdmnistFa-
ton TO meet time this month to fix the date.
and he says that it Will probably be the latter part
OF April or the fore part Of May.
