issued by the War Department and
which contains instructions for the
coming maneuvers of the coast artil-
lery troops and their infantry supports

cordance with the policy of the gov
eminent in bringing the militia forces

all officers and enlisted men of the
militia will be required to pass i,

their home stations, and all who are
unfit for service in the field or are
