The latest bulletin Of militia notes, Is
sued by the division of militia affairs,
| War Department, says:
| a regimentaI infantry band should con-
sist of twenty-eight enlisted men, or
ganized as prescribed in paragraph 2ss,
militia regulations. There is no author
ity to enlist additional men for q regi-
mental band, to carry them on rolls, or
| pay them from funds under section 1161,
/ Revised Statutes. Enlisted men detailed
! from the companies Of regiment to the
band cannot be paid on the payrolls OF
! the band, but their names should appear
on the rolls Of the companies Of which
! they are members. or on detachment
| rolls.
| Company musicians do not belong to
the band and should be attached thereto
as field music for ceremonies only. Ordi-
narily they should remain with theiS
| company, where they have prescribed
duties to perform. This is particularly
true at encampments and in all field
| service.
