made to draw from the United States

uniform, which was discontinued last
fall, will now be resumed so that

1t has been ascertained further
that the blue flannel shirt will proba-
bly, be retained that the new Spring
field rifle will not be ready for issue
to the militia of the states until some
time in 1908 and il is not likely any
change will be made in the present
officers saber for from one TO two
years and that new style of leggin
for enlisted men is ABOUT to be
adopted. The new pattern is made OF
lint no fxyIa fr h~
leather leggin now worn by officers.
The war department has decided
that the interior states, which In
clude Wisconsin. will not participate
in the manedvers in 1907. This wurk
will be confined to the Atlantic and
Pacisc states and will be chiefly along
the line of developing coast defenses
and coast artillery. Wisconsin's turn
will therefore not come again until
1908.
1t was matter of much satisfac-
ton to the state authorities and a
well earned compliment to the effici-
ency of Major c. R. Williams, the Of
ficer in charge of the supply depart
ments at Camp Douglas, to find that
his accounts balanced to a cent with
the books &C the war department and
to be told that Wisconsin cared Tor
and returned its government properly
in as good shape as the best ana
much better than the average condi-
ton.
To comply completely with the act
of congress in 1903, necessary to
continue to enjoy the financial sup
port which the federal government
gives to the state militia. it will be
necessary for the legislature to
amend the present state law so as
to give the governor authority to
make the organization Of the Wiscon-
sin National guard conform at all
points to the organization CT similar
branches Of the United states army.
