Dear Sir
In pursuance of our policy Of cell
traliZing the resources of this commit
tee, we take the liberty of asking you
through the press or otherwise as may
seem expedient to you, to request all
the committees in your State to fur
nish us with a statement of the funds
received by them. This statement
should include the sums already for
warded here, and the balances now re
manning in their hands.
We would have you point out that
while the fund we have on hand is
comparatively large. the work of re-
Mobilization will necessitate the eX-
penditure of immense sums. and that
we are DESTROYS of receiving all out
standing funds in order that we may
more definitely ascertain the amount
at our disposal and plan accordingly.
in reply.
Yours very Respectfully,
James d. Phelan,
Chairman.
There has been received at the office
| of the adjutant general two rifles, for
| the use of the inspector general of ri
| fe practice and the assistant inspector
general. The arms were issued by the
War Dept and were received at the
| Office Yesterday They are the latest
| model of Springfield Krags, and ar"
said to be a very powerful arm. There
has been for some time past one OF
| the late model rifles at the office, but
while the new rifles are very similar
| in general appearance to the above
arm, there is difference when the two
are compaped,' the new guns having
several improvements. The first named
| fife is provided with what is known as;
a rod bayonet. which slides under the
| barrel of the rife like ramrod. and
when i'm use is held lin place by 4
| spring. This style of bayOnet did not
/ find favor and in the new arms it has
been superseded by. the knife bayonat,
which is similar TO that now in use,
although a little. .lopger. The use Of
this bayonet has caused slight change
in the length .nfNIhe stock near the
muzzle Of the arm, but otherwise tn"
two arms are very similar. The older
arm has tferreputation of being "a
"kicker' OF pronounced type. but what
The new ones will do in that line re-
mains to DE. demonstrated
