Gen. Herbert S. Tanner, brigade
commander, Rhode Island National
guard, has sent TO the governor request
for leave of absence for sixty days, or
during the regular inspection period CT
his command The reasons assigned
for this leave are given as i'll health
and need OF rest.
1t is thought. however by many
guardsmen that the attitude of Cap
tain Grant, the regular army officer
at the inspections already held, in
practically ignoring General Tanner,
may be an explanation. Under the
Dick military law there is no provision
for state brigade or for such an Of
hcer as a brigadier general, and the
absence of this recognition has proba-
bly, had its effect upon General Tan
ner The office has been abolished in
Connecticut and several other states.
