neVeu the state or at least %lVVVW oi tniS 1 shortage
 Prior to your administration no surety bonds were required of company com manders, but personal bonds were fur nished. and such thing as filing claim | for shortage was unheard of. Company commanders were allowed to be short in their property and nothing was ever done. When General Scully took charge he required every officer responsible for gov ernment property to furnish bond with a surety company, and we have recently received checks from bond companies amounting to $604 .06, in settlement of claims filed against company commanders | for their shortage.
 " Although these claims have been set
 tied since you have gone out of office, still they should be credited to your ad- ministration, due to the fact that bonds
 were made and claims filed when you were in. office.
 i.sI wish to further state that prior to l your administration such thing as hav- i ing a survey executed and approved by the war department was almost unheard of and when property issued to company commanders became unserviceable it wal simply thrown away or destroyed. and the state received no credit for 1t.
 " During your administration these mat ters were corrected and all unserviceable property was surveyed in the proper man. ner, and credit received at the war de- pertinent for same.
 "'Had this been done by your predeces- sors there would have been no shortage whatever charged to the state of Alabama at the present time.
 1 "T also wish to state that there are
 records on file in the adjutant general [
 office showing that property was indis- criminately distributed to citizens and
 members of the National Guard during the previous administrat and no receipts were taken for same, and it is natural to suppose that these articles are still al large and the state is being criticized for not having same In its store room

BULLOCK
 AGAIN RAISES THE STARS AND STRIPES
Proud to Find That Wilson and He Are Agreed on
 Principles of Citizenship.


 Rev. c. Seymour Bullock, former pastor of the Neighborhood church at stratford and now a resident of Otta- wa. Can. has announced that he un- furled. to the breeze the flag which he furled following the, sinking of the Lusttania and the drowning of many Americans. Atstha,t time in Q sermon which he preached at Ottawa, Rev. MT. Bullock said:
 1T have fur1ed my flag that it shall notvbe kissed by the sun nor caressed by the breezes until it shall have been shown that my country in it's struggle for wealth has not lost sight of its honor
 When preaching the other Sunday evening in the pulpit of the Welcome Zion Congregational church from which Rev. H. L Horsey went as chaplain to the 3 8rth battalion, Rev. Mr.4BulI ock said: .eF aa5 'tI glory in the heroism of little Bel gium. It would have been so much easier to have yielded to superior numbers and have given the German army uninpeded access to France. But it could have been done only by Belgium first putting to it's own throat the knife of suicide.
 t ''I glory in the fidelity of Great Bri- tain to every shortest word in her
 
 much easier to have listened to the men who cried This IS none of ouE affairs Let Germany and Belgium and France fight 1t out themselves.A But it could have been done only by first doing to the death all the prtn- ctples upon which England has achiev- ed her greatness. sa teAnd noweI glory again in my own country. I knew that the spirit of the fathers yet lived in the blood of their sons. T knew that when the is- sues had been sifted it would be seen that the United States would stand for the rights of its citizens not as they might be defined in Berlin but as they are written in the charter of our liberty. That final note is the l1ltimatum setting forth the things for which the governmene will stand - peaceably if possible but with an ap- peal to the force of arms if that must be. read that note and caughtSu my flag to fling it once more upon the free air The sun kissed it as with aa new welcome, the breezes caught it as with a. new delight Never have the two flags
 Your flag and my flag.
 The flags of the free
 meant so much to humanity as now when they wave together for the rights of gerent or neu- tral-and the freedom of the seas
 In a recent letter to The Farmer, MT. Bullock says:
 .sIt was a great satisfaction find myself in accord with the views of the President relative to the right of American citizens to sail upon any vessel not engaged in actual warfare, should feel it my duty to at once offer my services in any capacity for which may be fitted for the main tenance of those rights if my country should be eventually. brought into this awful war -I am a little, curious to know just how many of your readers who. denounced my first position would respond likewise to the first call for volunteers
