O'NEAL EXPLAINS MILITARY SHORTAGE Statement Shows Shortage in Equipment Accumu-
 lated Prior to 1911

Following the recent agitation re. rarding the withholding of the fed eral appropriation for the maintenance of the Alabama National Guard on ac- count of alleged shortage of s1O0,0e0 in property Emmet O'Neal, former gov erner of Alabama, issued a statement last night showing that the shortage and accumulated before he took office and that he reduced it to its present figure.
 Owing to the congestion of news due to the sinking of the Lusitania it was not convenient for The Age Her eld last night to print Governor ONeaIs statement in full but because of the importance of the subject the statement will be printed at the earl fest opportunity. The vital part of his explanation follows:
 "Commencing in 1898, the United States war department charged the state of Alabama with all government property on hand at that time and which was furnished to the state of Alabama each succeeding year. No credits were entered upon the state 5 account During each of the years mentioned there was issued to the tate of Alabama by the federal gov ernment property amounting to about s25.000 a year There is a method pl O. vided by the United States government by which state can obtain credit for property destroyed by fire. lost by un- avoidable accident or worn out by service and use. This method Is known ! as a survey proceeding.
 ''Unfortunately prior to my adIninis- tration there were no survey proceed ings approved by the federal govern ment. In 1898 when volunteers Were called for in the Spanish American war each company or organization upon leaving their counties carried out with hem all military equipment to the ,nohilizat ton camp. This property amounted to over $100000. When l as sumed office in 1911 it was discovered hat this s100.000 of military equip meEt which had been turned over to the United States government was still charged to tho state of Alabama. Ac- cording to information which l re- Ceived from Maj. T. c. Locke. clerk of Inc adjutant generals department the shortage in government property when ! assumed office was estimated to amount to practically s3o0,000. During my administration credit was obtained foi property lost by previous admin istrations of over sl7o, ,000, leaving the shortage up3 to 1911 about $S6.0u0, at which it practically now remains"

pieces (besides the sleeves), which are
made of lace and set together with
