the use of the army branch of the
service. Adapting the word division

appear, or the term territorial divis-
IONS" Alaska and the military sta
tions there will hereafter be classed
officially as the territorial division.
The changes in the army regulations
define the new duties of the division
and the department commanders by
saying: "A division commander is
charged with the administration of
all the military affairs of his division,
except as otherwise prescribed by
army regulations. He will report to
the adiutant general of the army all
matters relating to the general wei.
fare of the command, including such
changes of stations of troops as he
may deem desirable, but will obtain
the approval of the War Department
before ordering the movement.
The commanding general of the
Philippines division, however, is the
exception to this rule, for the general

throughout the islands can originate,
direct or approve military operations
within his several departments and
may transfer troops from one to an.
other requiring reinforcements.
However, in the United States
when troops are changed, either per-
tmanently or temporarily, in a divis-
ion of the United States, the division
commander will Immediately report by
telegraph the time of departure and
strength of the command to the ad.
jutant general of the army. He will
make a similar report when the troops
arrive at the new station. In an
emergency, the movement of troops
will be reported at the very earliest
possible moment.
The division commander will have
charge of the inspections necessary to

vision, the provisions of Section IA of
the militia act, approved June 81, 1908,
and to assist in this duty all officers

duty with organized militia within the
limits of his division, will report to
him and send through him their re-
ports of inspection, according to this
section of the regulations.

act of June 81, 1903, will be referred
by the War Department to the divis
ion commanders for their information
and will be returned to the War De
partment for file.
Another class of duty requiring the
attention of division commanders will
be to examine the reports of small

for holding small-arms target compe

the direction of the War Department

Another suggestion for the guild
ance of the Kahauiki inhabitants is
that the packing and unpacking Of
household effects will, as far as prac
ticable, be done in the Easements Of
the quarters and barracks, in order tC
avoid defacing floors. Attention is
called to the fact that neglect by al

furniture used by him is a military
chense.
