Work Preliminary to Dis

STATE MEDALS FOR
THE MEN SOON

No date has been set for the actual
muster-out OF the First Battalion, Del
aware National Guard, although the
preliminary work is progressing rapid
ly at the State Armory. There is a
great deal of preliminary work re-
,quired before a military organization
OF any character is mustered out OF
the service of the United States. The
matter OF property accountability con-
sumes, probably, the most time, be-
cause It Is necessary for the account
able officers TO account for every arti-
Gle OF the government property that
has passed through their hands since
their muster-in, and the amount OF
this "plunder," as military men call
IT, is surprising to the average citi-
zen who has had no experience in
military matters.
The physical inspection OF every Of
ficer and enlisted man as a precedent
to muster-out, also Is a matter of i'm
portance, equally so to government
and soldier, and is required in order
TO protect the interests of both, under
the pension laws. This inspection is
9s rigid ana detailed as is the one
which precedes muster-in, and It is
safe to say that, in the past. It has
been as beneficial to the soldiers as Il
has been a protection TO the govern.
