TRANSPORTS SUIT
MILITIA INSPECTORS
Majors Neumeyer and Rob
bins Go Over Sumner and
Mcclellan at Norfolk.

Major Edwin Neumeyer, cOmmissary
general Of the District National Guard,
and Major Allied P. Robbins, acting
quartermaster general, returned TO
Washington this morning from Nor
folk where they went Saturday to in
spect the army transports Sumner and
Mcclellan, upon which the local guards
men will make the journey to the scene
of the coming field maneuvers on the
New England coast Both officers are
entirely satisfied with the acconmo-
datiOns offered on the transports and
are certain that there viii be no over
crowding when the militiamen are en-
barked.
Major Neumyer pooh-poohed the idea.
generally current among the guards
men, that the Washington harbor is too
shallow to accommodate vessels Of the
size and draft of the Sumner and Nc
Clellan. Either vessel, he said, could
easily dock along the river front and
be loaded in the same manner as are
boats of the type OF the Norfolk and
Washington steamboats, or the larger
river excursion steamer
The Sumner, which Is the larger or
the two transports. Major Neumeyer
LOO militiamen with their officers,
while the First Separate Battalion, to
gether with part of the general stan
officers, would occupy the Mcclellan.
Both these vessels have been employed
IN the army transport service between
the United States and the Philippines.
While the Sumner is slightly larger
than the Mcclellan, the latter ship has
been practically rebuilt within the past
two years and is regarded by army
officers as affording better accommO-
datiOns on the whole than the Sumner
1t is thought that a majority of the
guardsmen on this trip can be supplied
with hunks instead of being compelled
TO sleep in hammOcks slung between
decks. The hammock method was used
on the two transports upon which the
First District of CO.. anbia Volunteers
were transported to and from Cuba
in the war with Spain, and it came in
for considerable riI'cism because Of
the way in which the men were herded.
On the TRANSPORTS which are to take
the miliuamen 10 the maneuvers in
August hammocks will not be used eX
cept IN cases where the men cannot lie
accOmma fated with hunks. The ham-
mock man, amy officers admit. is
distinct failure except as an eXpedieut,
and as the heads Of the District militia
are not intending TO impose any w.
necessary hardships on their men IL is
unlikely that the hammock will be given
much consideration.
