Qusrtermaster W. III. Gilmore Twas seen
GU Wednesday by WATcHMAN reporter,
after his conference with Governor Smith
on matters pertaining to reorganization
OF the National Guard OF Vermont Gen.
Gilmore stated that no definite action was
taken, but the matter was informally dis.
cussed in all its bearings. The recent de-
cision Of the attorney general that there
shall be no distribution "either in money or
kind" among the militia OF the several
states was a great surprise to all military
men and much doubt is expressed whether
such an opinion Is practicable or for the
good OF the service. In Vermont, and
many other states, such distribution of
equipment has been partially made, and
any arms. equipments or uniforms so dis
trlbuted will not be called in until further
specific orders are received. This decision
OF the attorney general had a dampening ef-
feet upon Governor Smith and his advisers,
and 1t was thought best to wait and see
what its effect will be, before taking any
definite step towards reorganiz alton Of
the Vermont troops.
