FAULTY RECRUITING SYSTEM
During the incumbency of Joseph B. Doe. jr..
as Assistant Secretary of War. the depot sys-
tenn was abolished. and Columbus Barracks and
David's Island ceased-as Carlisle Barracks
ceased-to be the focalizing points where re-
cruits were congregated for preliminary instruc-
ton in the A. C's of a soldiers duty prior to
assignment to regiments
officers differed in opinion az to the wisdom
of the abolition Of recruiting depots. Major
Thomas II. Barry and Captain Francis Michler
were opponents. respectively. Of the infantry
and cavalry arm of the service advocating the
abandonment of the depot system. Without at
tempting to make a resume OF the arguments
pro and con. the then Secretary OF War ordered
the breaking up of recruiting depots
We now are confronted by a condition. Scores
and hundreds Of recruits are now being dumped
upon commanders OF regiments, upon whose
company. troop or battery commanders falls
the onus OF instruction Of recruits in details

parted before assignment
In other words, recommend that recruits be
sent first TO depot for primary instruction. in
stead OF being sent direct to the organizations
with which they are expected to serve their
period OF enlistment. What want here in
Cuba is men who partially know their rudi-
ments, instead of ha~ing to break them in after
