Adjutant General Makes Regulation on
War Department.
acquisitions for equipment to sup
ply the deficiencies of the Alabama
National Guard have been made of the
War Department at Washington by Ad-
jutant General w. w. Brandon.
The requisition urges the War De-
partment to forward the equipment SC
that 1t may be given to the soldiers
when they are assembled in the bril-
gade encampment ordered for July. The
granting of the requisNion will NOT
fully supply the lack of equipment
which Captain A. s. Morgan of the
United States Army found necessary
but 1t will meet the more pressing
needs of the guard.
The reduisition was made by the Ad-
jutant General after conference and
correspondence with the commanding
officers of the Alabama Guard.
The most important item contained
in the requisition is for khaki uni
forms for all the members of the State
troops.
Haversacks for all the State troops
are also asked for, and application As
made for knapsacks for the artillery
men of the State The requisition is a
long one. including items of minor
Importance as saddles. brides, blank
cts. hospital tents and flies, flags. flag
poles and other things which accom-
pany military service
The requisitlon is made under the
terms OF the Dick act. The advantage
of shipping the material In time for
its distribution among the troops at
the brigade encampment is urged up
on the war Department.
