Attention is directed TO the work of
military attaches abroad, which the
report states has been very satisfact-
ory, and proves the wisdom OF select
ing officers peculiarly adapted to this
delicate semi diplomatic work, which
secures to the army the most recent,
and valuable information at mini
mum cost.
Among the recommendations regard
ing the organized military are that
the attention of Congress be invited to
the advisability of "a provision in the
appropriation bill for the next fiscal
year giving forage to the horses of
mounted militia troops and of mount
ed militia officers while at manoeu-
vers for per diem allowance to be
made for the hire of horses of militia
troops and batteries while engaged in
manoeuvers for the furnishing of feul
for cooking and heating purposes by
the United States while engaged in
manoeuvers, and for the furnishing of
straw and hay for bedding of militia
soldiers while engaged in manoeuvers.
In order to increase the attendane at
drills and thus secure increased etfi-
cheney of the organized militia, that
governors be permitted to utilize the
allotment of their respective States
under the section / ll6l, revised statutes
for the purpose Of furnishing a per
diem allowance, not in any case to ex-
ceed 43 cents per drill of one and one
half hours, for the purpose of paying
enlisted men of the organized militia
for attendance at each of the twenty
four drills annually required by stat
ute.
That as a precedent to participation
in manoeuvors, the states and territ
ories require sufficient physical ex-
animation for entrance into their org
anized militia
That states be permitted to retain
rifles ana carbines now in use by mil
itary schools and colleges instead of
throwing them in on receipts of new
arms.
That for the purpose of preserving
order in camp no troops of the org
anized militia shall participate in
unless the laws of the
State to which the troops belong suffi
provide for the punishment of
disorder
