your department commander that this will
be Il day of long remembrance and he would
like to meet as many comrades as can pos
siby be there. Post commanders will pre-
sent their credentials 10 the committee as
soon after arrival as possible SO MS not to
delay the opening of the encampment, MS
much business is expected to be brought he
fore that body. All department officers and
committees appointed by the department
commander are expected to bring their
prepared reports of all work done by each
and present them to William G. Baugh, as
sistant adiutant- general.
II is the desire of the department COM
mander that each post commander will have
with him. or send TO the encampment one
comrades name for aide-de-camp, and one
comrades name for assistant inspector
from each post SO that the roster of the de
partment may be prepared without delay,
as heretofore much trouble and time has
been lost by neglect to furnish the names in
time.
The department commander has LEARNED
| with much regret that several posts in this
| department are not having any muster of
| posts for months, that they make mp a list
| of oticers-elect and send them to the assist
| ant adjutant general. Now this is in viola
| tion of the rules and regulations and If con-
| tin ued their chaters will be asked for.
| The joint memorial committee of Will
mington has decided that they will not pro-
cure and furnish any flags for Memorial
Day outside of Wilmington, unless by
special request, as much dissatisfaction was
caused last year by the committee buying
| for the entire department. The money ap.
portioned by the State memorial committee
10 each post will be given entire without
any reduction for flags. But if any post de
sires they will notify the committee of the
number required at once.
The department commander has appointed
Past Department Commander w. A. Reilly
Past Department Commander William Fl
Moystin and Comrade William j. Hume al
committee to supervise the printing of thu
proceedings Of last annual encampment.
