1.-The personal appearance and mill
tary bearing of the troops at this in
spection," reports Inspector General
Sweeney, "weIe highly creditable.
Some commands, however, would have
been greatly improved had all men
been shaved and the hair and boards
closely trimmed. The uniforms. in
the main, gave evidence of careful
handling. During the inspection com
manding officers of companies were
cautioned to give personal attention
to the method used i'll cleaning same
in order to avoid unnecessary bleach
ing. Some officers appeared without
authority i'll unregulation campaign

opinion of the Inspector General,
officers should be permitted to wear a
hat of better grade.
"The bearing of the men i'll ranks
was altogether admirable. In a ma
jority of the organizations there eX-
listed an esprit du corps" never be-
fore witnessed by the Inspector Gen
eral, and this accounts largely for the
good results noted at the inspections.
1t was evident that more attention
had been paid to the 'Set up of the
men, in fact the soldierly bearing was
in general so excellent as to call forth
the highest encomiums from officers
of the army present.
AT the review which preceded the
inspection of personal appearance, rel
atively few errors were observed-the
ceremony being rendered by a ma
jority of the troops in excellent form.
"The discipline Of the Guard dur
ing the entire period was commend
able, but few infractions of the reg
ulations were noted, while the gen
eral department of the men was both
gentlemanly and soldierly. There is
still, however, too much freedom in
intercourse between officers and men.
For disciplinary reasons, it is impera
tive that military relations supercede
the social relations of citizenship

are engaged in military service, this
holds for all occasions that call for
