STATE OF GEORGIA,
ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S OFFICE,
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, December 31, 1908.
HON. HOKE SMITH,
Governor of Georgia,
Atlanta.
SIR:
In accordance with the requirements of Section 11, Military Code of Georgia, I have the honor to submit the report of this department for the year ending December 31, 1908.
Herewith is presented a brief outline of the status of the military forces of the State; of dutie performed, with recommendations which seem nece ary to the interest of the State forces in advancing the discipline and increasing the efficiency of the several organizations; also such other matters of detail believed to be of advantage to the ational Guard and aval Militia.
RESERVE 1ILITIA.
The estimated strength of the Reserve Militia of this State is about Five Hundred Thousand, as reported in 1907. This estimate was based on the voting strength of the State, o. . .lpon the average yearly increase in population as wdicated by census

reports. The strength of the Reserve Militia is only an estimate, as there are no funds available to cover the cost of an enrollment of the unorganized militia.

ACTIVE MILITIA.
The National Guard, or active militia, of the State is, in practically all respects, organized, uniformed, armed and equipped as is the United States Army. From the returns on file in this office, the total strength of the ational Guard on date of this report was two hundred thirty-two commissioned officers and three thousand enlisted men, organized as follows: Three regiments of infantry-two with twelve companies, band and hospital corp, and one with eleven companies, band and hospital corps; two battalions of infantry-one with four and one with three companies; two squadrons of cavalry-one with four and one with three troops; one battalion of coast artillery consisting of four companies; two light batteries of field artillery; and one division of naval militia.
The three regiments are organized into a brigade to which are attached for the purpose of administration and discipline the Coast Artillery Corps, the 3rd and 4th separate battalions of infantry, the 1st and 2nd squadrons of cavalry, two batteries of light artillery, and the division of naval militia.
The requirement of the War Department, fixing the minimum enlisted strength of the companies, after a fair trial by all companies, has been met. Those organizations which made practically no effort

The Militia ct, approved January 21, 1903, and ub equently amended by the Acts of Congres of June 22,1906, and May 27,190 ,materially increa e the annual allotment of the State for the upport of it organized militia, and thus provide for betterorganizations, better di cipline and a more active condition, with improved armament and equipment; also for annual encampments and manuevers for in truction in field work associated with the well drilled and disciplined troops of the regular e tabli hment, which offer an excellent opportunity for attaining a high tate of efficiency. A well organized, drilled, and di ciplined tate militia can be depended upon for protection to manufacturing and indu trial intere t and cau e a feeling of ecurity to exi t among the citizen generally, in ca e of riot, in urrection or other dome tic emergency. ongre ha acknowledged the importance of the militia, in that it i pending million of dollar to a i t the tate in building up and maintaining an efficient organization, ready for active ervice at any and all time .
recognition of thi kind on the part of the State i mandatory, if the militia of Georgia i to be maintained in an efficient condition and kept abreast with the organizations of other States. There are a number of items of expense incident to maintaining the military establishment of the State that cannot be met from the Government allotment. To bring the
tate militia to the de ired state of efficiency requires

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

constant supervision, attention and instruction_ on the part of competent officers, and this has been an exceedingly difficult matter to accomplish, an account of the small appropriation made by the Legislature _ in the past for the traveling and other expenses of such officers. The State of Georgia being a large State, its military organizations are necessarily scattered and located at remote stations. Instructors should be sent to these organizations, provisions made for obtaining suitable armories, and otherwise maintaining them. The military profession has many ramifications and requires much technical knowledge; and inexperienced officers are usually unable to comprehend their multitudinous duties without assistance and instruction from experienced officers; hence, the necessity for sending competent officers throughout the State several times a year f~r purposes of instruction, if the best results are to be obtained.
Any fairminded per on who will take the time and trouble to acquaint himself with the work of the militia of this State can not but be impres ed with the earnest effort of both officers and men to perfect them elve in their military dutie , in so far a may be pos ible within the limited. time they are able to devote to such duties, which, to a great extent, are at their own personal expense. That the :Militia of this State can be brought to a much higher state of efficiency must be admitted, but that its efficiency, discipline, equipment, and general condition are far in advance of what they were a few years ago i readily apparent to even the casual

observer. The holiday times of the State soldier have long since passed, and the militia of Georgia is now established on a business-like basis, and most certainly deserves every encouragement from the citizen and the lawmaker.

AVAL 1:ILITIA.

It was deemed advi able to di band the 1st bat-

talion of Naval 1:ilitia on account of inefficiency,

caused by the inattention of the offi~ers to their

military o.bligations. The enlisted men of the .r aval

Militia, we found were intere ted and enthusiastic

in their work; and to give the e men an opportunity

to erve their State in a military capacity, the 3rd

Divi ion of aval Militia wa reorganized with com-

petent, energetic and enthu ia tic officer, and they

are now doing good work. They have been equipped

with the new Springfield rifle, and the other equip-

ment repaired and put in serviceable condition.

The U. S. avy Department invited the aval

Iilitia of Georgia to participate in a ten day crui e,

but failed to provide for the pay and sub i tence of

the men while performing thi tOUT of dut. It

wa deemed inadvi able to u e the tate appropria-

tion for thi purpo e a the crui e wa purely for

the instruction of the aval Militia for war pur-

poses; con equeuntly thi cruise was not taken by

the Georgia aval Militia, as they did not feel dis-

po ed to Q'ive their time and service without proper

remuneration. Thi matter ha been taken up with

the

. Navy Department with a view to having

provision m;:tde for the pay and ubsistence of the aval Militia while performing duty under the direc-
tion of the U. S. avy Department.

I SPECTIONS.

ommanding Officers of regiment, battalion and quadron were directed to accompany the U. In pecting Officer in order that they might lend him every available a i tance in the performance of hi dutie , and to familiarize themselves with the condition exi ting in their own organizations.

The progre in thi important branch of military work, however, ha not, in the ca e of a number of organizations, been abrea t with that along other line ; some company commander are not sufficiently impre ed with it importance.

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

Team standing shown as above, by average, because teams were of varying strength, and a comparison of aggregate scores would be misleading and valueless.
In Exhibits C, D, and E, will be found the names of all officers and men who qualified during the record season:
ACTIVE SERVICE.

The following companies have been called upon during the year to render active service in aid of civil authority:
May 30th, Company L, 4th Battalion, at Andersonville, Ga.
June 23rd, Company E, 5th Infantry, at Aragon, Ga.
July 28th, Company C, 1st Infantry, at Ocilla, Ga. December 21st, Company I, 5th Infantry, at Comer, Ga.
CAMP SERVICE.
All the troops of the State were given an oppor. tuunity to go into camp this year, and all accepted
except the 1st Field Battery. The First, Second and Fifth Regiments of Infantry, First and Second Squadrons of Cavalry, and Second Field Battery at Camp W. H. Taft, Chickamauga Park, Ga.; the Third and Fourth Battalions of Infantry, and the First Battalion of Coast Artillery Corps at Fort Screven, Tybee Island, Ga. The reports of the Commanding Officers of the three regiments of Infantry on this tour of duty are hererwith published as Ex-

hibits F, G, and H. 0 reports were received from the Commanding Officers of the Third and Fourth Battalions of Infantry, First and Second Squadrons of Cavalry, and the First Battalion Coast Artillery Corps, relative to their tour of camp duty. Col. R. H. Patterson, Coast Artillery Corps, Commanding Artillery District of SaVahnah, Ga., in his report to the War Department on the joint seacoast exercises, reports that the improvement of the reserves was quite marked. The small number brought to camp was disappointing; but the improvement in the work of the support was gratifying. {uch good was accomplished by the camp service given the troops this year, and I believe that the State could not spend its allotment of funds from the general government to better advantage next year than to place all of the troops in camp at least five days, within the bounds of the State.

ARMS, UNIFORMS AND EQUIPMENT.
During the year we have exchanged all of the Krag rifles that were in the hands of the troops for the new model Springfield rifle, a used by the Army of the United States. The new style blue dress uniforms have been furnished all the troops of the State. The leather belt and cartridge box is needed to complete the new dress uniform. Severel hundred khaki ~iforms, hats, leggins and ponchos have been pur hased to complete the field service uniform. There i yet to be procured a con iderable amount of equipment necessary to properly equip the troops for field service.

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

CARE OF MILITARY PROPERTY.

It is gratifying to note the general improvement

in the care of military property. Officer and men

are at la t realizing that military property is for use

and not for destruction. A perceptible decrea e in

the 10 s and damage to property could be averted if

uitable armorie were procured' for the u e of the

organization. The State doe not own an armory,

and doe not appropriate ufficient funds with which

to procure suitable armories. Many of the organiza-

tions are housed in small, inadequate, and uncom-

fortable building. The State pays each year fifteen

thou and dollar ($15,000.00) for armory rent,

which i about half the co t of rental-the officers

and men of the militia paying a much a the State.

Either the city, county, or both, hould be required

by an Act to build uitable armories for military

companie located within their limits, or the State

hould appropriate a given amount each year for thi

purpo e until every organization is comfortably

and adequately quartered. By appropriating fifteen

to

thousand dollars each year for the building of

armories, in ten year every organization in the

tate would be provided for, and would result in

aving to the State each year fifteen thou and dollar

now being (laid for rent. In addition, the troops

year, without pay, and gives ten or more days each summer in camp to the laborious task of training himself as an efficient soldier, not for any material benefit to himself, but because his country perchance may need his services in an hour of distress.
I would heartily recommend that the Legislature make a sufficient appropriation to cover the cost of uniforms of the officers as provided by law. Since the formation of the militia under the State Constitution, the officers of the militia have been compelled to pr.ovide uniforms at their own expense, which is an injustice, and in many ?ases a hardship. Like the enlisted men, they derive no personal benefit from their service and labor in maintaining a proficient militia for the protection of life and property, and upholding the majesty of the law.

ROSTER.
The roster of the Officers of the ational Guard of Georgia, giving their relative rank,. is herewith attached, marked Exhibit I.

ORDERS AND CIRCULARS.
There is also embodied in this report copies of all General Orders and Circulars issued from this office during the year 1908, marked Exhibit J.

IN CONCLUSIO .
In closing this report I. am constrained to compliment the officers and men of the ational Guard for their promptness in meeting all requirement of the service. There have been some few cases where proper effort has not been made to meet the demand. In the e cases disciplinary measures were re orted to with the result of better ervice or elimination from the service of the State. Many hort cuts have been made in the work of admini tration, by eliminating old blank forms and sub titu.ting new ones in their places. The publishing of the new regulations for the government of the militia of this State, supplied a long felt want and necessity, a it gives in concise form the data that required time and study on the part of officers and men to attain. I am indebted to Major F. L. Palmer, U. S. Army (Retired), on duty with the National Guard of this State, for his able counsel and advice in thi matter. It was entirely due to his energy, efforts

22

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

and labor that we succeeded in publishing for the use of the troops, The Regulations for the ational Guard of Georgia. The clerical force of the office have been faithful in their work, and cheerful in its performance.
I am grateful to the officer and men of the Guard for their loyalty in the performance of their every duty, and to you, Sir, for your kind and courteous support.
Re pectfully,

A. J. SCOTT, Adjutant-General.

REPORTS OF INSPECTIONS.

lieved they would be practically of no value and would add nothing to the reports of the U. S. Inspector, for the following rea ons:
1st. Because of my lack of familiarity, at the time such inspections were made, with inspection duties, and as I had had 0 little time to familiarize myself with State conditions.
2d. Because of my inability to inspect all organizations uniformly, the inspection by the U. S. Inspector being about half completed when I joined him, and of the impracticability of re-assembling troops already inspected for a second inspection.
3d. Because of the impracticability of making formal inspection of troops participating in joint maneuver with U. S. troop , my opportunities being strictly limited to such ob ervation as would not interfere with their set duties.

RESULTS OF IN PECTIONS A D OF OBSERVATION.
While formal report of inspection were con idered u eless, for the rea ons given above, my opportunities for seeing the organizations at their home tation, on various occasions, and at the joint manuevers referred to, together with such matters as have come before me as Survey Officer and through consultation with the Adjutant-General and Quartermaster-General, and in the course of my office work, have, in my opinion, made me sufficiently familiar with the troops of the State as a whole to enable me to make a general report upon them, and to make certain recommendations for the welfare

26

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

of the National Guard, and I conceive it my duty to do so.
I therefore submit the following general remarks, under appropriate headings, recommendations being made at the close thereof.
PERSO NEL: Of EnlistedJ Men.-Excellent, almost without exception, considered merely as material for the making of soldiers. The average of mental ability and of character, both personal and moral, seem to be very high, while aptitude, energy and enthusiasm seem scarcely to be improved upon. Their faults and failures, while many, appear to be almost wholly due to lack of proper military instruction and training by their officers, and failure to maintaiI1 proper discipline, properly enforced within practicable limits.
Of Office'rs.-The soldierly qualifications of the cominissioned personnel vary extremely from e.xcellent in some cases to very poor in a large number; the average can be said to be no more than fair at best, though it differs in various qualities.
Mental ability and education are, on the average, sufficiently high, though not so in the case of some individuals.
Personal and moral character, while high in the average, are not considered equal to those of the enlisted men, considering that the officers are selected men and are supposed to conform to the standards necessary for service of the U. S., if called upon.
Officers generally are actuated in all their official acts, as well a in obtaining and holding their offices, far too greatly by selfish motives, and do not

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

27

sufficiently consider and act for the good of the ervice as apart from and independent of the effect upon themselves and their personal ends and aims. Moreover, they are too prone to consider their own organizations a independent entities, instead of mere parts of the whole ational Guard of the State, and to act accordingly. They do not ufficiently, and. with the proper military ideal in mind, tudy to fit themselves for a proper performance of their duties; nor do they perform, in a proper manner and pirit, many of their duties in which they are properly and sufficiently instructed. There are, of course, many exception to the above, but it is not believed that any injustice is being done in commenting on the average a above.
A to how gr~atly the e officer are them elve repon ible for their tandard, and a to how much they are influenced in them by pa t cu tom and example, is quite another que tion. It may be said, however, that in proportion as political influences and political (or other) favoritism enter into military affairs, either in matter of admini tration or in appointments to office and grade, ju t in that prop~rtion will individual ability, iniative, energy ambition and conscientiou performance of duty uffer, and inefficiency will inevitably re ult.
Mn..ITARY BEARI G i not ufficiently cultivated on the part of either officer or enlisted men. Nor is there sufficient care taken as to wearing proper uniforms, wearing them properly, or as to keeping the uniforms neat, the latter being mo tly true of enIi ted men.

28

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

DISCIPLINE in a true sense, seems' to be almost at a minimum. This is certainly not due to lack of proper laws enjoining discipline and providing for its enforcement, but seems almost wholly due to lack of a proper, uniform, strict and impartial enforcement of law and orders; without these there can be no discipline, properly so-called, and hence no true military efficiency.
This lack of discipline is especially evidenced in the following ways: Inattention to orders, by officers; slow and irregular rendition of reports and returns; failure to reply promptly, and in the proper military spirit, to official communications; failure to properly care for property; failure to settle for property lost through carelessness or neglect, when it has been found to have been so lost and settlement is ordered; failure to promptly furnish bonds and receipts for property as required by law; failure to appoint non-commissioned officers for efficiency, or to require efficiency of them; undue familiarity in official matters, between officers and enlisted men; undue deference to the enlisted men by officers desiring personal popularity resulting in failure to properly perform various duties, etc., etc.
CARE OF PROPERTY varies greatly, from excellent in some organizations to very poor in others. The articles issued to enlisted men and kept by them in their lockers seem to be very rarely checked up, and the men are not held accountable for losses or shortages. Property which has become unserviceable is too frequently lost or thrown away instead of being preserved for inspection and condemnation.

.A.nJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

29

This causes loss to the State, as this property, if surveyed and condemned, could be dropped without further charge against the U. S. appropriations, while it is again charged against such appropriations if lost, and a third charge is made when the articles are again obtained. In other words, to replace lost property co t twice a much a to replace condemned property, though in each case the loss is deducted from the U. S. appropriations. Better and more intelligent care of this property on the part of the accountable officers would re ult in less cost to the State, and enable better equipment to be furni hed. And it is believed that more rigid enforcement of the laws of the State, which are good enough in themselves, would save a great portion of these losses.
The system of requiring officers to give bonds for the care and safe keeping of the property in their possession as provided in the State Military Code i excellent in theory, but eems to be cumbersome and vexatious in practice j nor is there proper provision made, in practice at least, for procuring payment for property after the Survey Officer has recommended that the office be required to pay for the losse and this recommendation has been approved by the Governor.
TARGET PRACTICE.-Interest in target practice seems to be limited to organizations having good outdoor ranger easily available, but not all having access to such ranges take proper interest in this necessary military qualification, of making themselves good riflle shots, as they should do. A large

30

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

portion of the U. S. appropriation is intended for the purpo e of providing ranges and encouraging thi firing, which, regarded merely as a sport, is one of the mo t effective ways of attracting valuable men to the ranks of the National Guard. Every effort should be made to provide good ranger wherever there is good prospect of permanency of military organizations, and to encourage, by offering prizes or medal and inviting competition among the men, proficiency in the practical use of the rifle.
Indoor rifle practice seems to be almost entirely neglected. This is wholly wrong, and every effort should be ma.de to encourage and intere t the men in indoor practice and qualification, wbere outdoor practice i not to be had (or a a preparation therefor), by competition, prizes, badges, etc., both for the instruction thus given, and as a means of attracting men through an intere ting variety, not a monotony, of military education.
It i believed that thi could be brought about by the officer if they;ill ufficiently intere t them elves in the matter.
GUARD DUTY een by me has appeared to be poorly performed, though the men seemed to be trying to do the best they knew how. Through lack of proper " et-up" drill and theoretical in truction at home station, the sentries do not walk their posts in a military manner, do not render salutes properly, and do not appear to be properly vigilant. Practical, as well as theoretical, instruction should be given at home tation, so as to improve the performance of this important military duty, the manner of per-

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

31

formance of which has been said to be the best test of soldierly efficiency.

APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS.
The method in practical use for selecting commissioned o'ffieers seems to me to be fundamentally wrong, being based on principles which do not appear to be sound in a military sense. Too many vacancies in the commissioned (and non-commis. sioned) personnel are filled by selection of men without previous service in the National Guard, but of local prominence or means, upon the idea that any man who has succeeded in his own business will make a good and competent officer, and that the organization will profit by his prominence and local influence in being more popular and having better standing in the community. Another reason is that such men can the more readily provide the necessary funds for carrying on the organization, either by paying in the money himself or by obtaining it from local authorities.
While granting the weight of these reasons, in a theoretical way, this method seems to be fundamentally vicious and fore-doomed to failure in the results, When applied to practice. In the first place, all necessary funds, not provided by U. S. appropriations, should be provided by the State; an officer who is paying, directly or indirectly, for his office can not be properly disciplined in ca e of need (and there i need in some existing cases), because the apparent welfare of the organization is too greatly de-

32

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

pendent upon his influence or means, and he must be placated rather than irritated by being required to comply with law or regulations. Hence he i independent, is encouraged in doing as seems fit to him rather than a orders require, and there can be no good discipline which does not apply equally to alL or can good tandards of military efficiency be required or expected of the commissioned personnel unless the dependence is placed upon the officer and not upon the National Guard.
Moreover, the method of selection above referred! to is wrong in another way. It presumes that any person may become a competent and efficient officer by tudy, neglecting that greatest of all instructors, e pecially in military affairs, EXPERIENCE. Theoretically, such officer get their experience after appointment, but the experience they obtain is based. upon similar appointments of many of their superiors, and is not uch as to elevate their efficiency or military standards.
Proved efficiency before appointment is the only safe basis for selection. Opportunity should have been given, the man judged by the advantage he takes of his opportunitie ,hi promotion to be the tangible result of efficiency and military ability, and his ambition should be fostered and encouraged. In this way rank would have meaning and authority, be considered as a reward and hence be appreciated and sought for; the man would be dependent upon the National Guard for his rank, the visible sign of his worth, instead of its being dependent upon him for

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

33

aid besought; in the one case discipline could and would follow, in the other case, lack of it is assured.
It is further believed that making appointments and promotions for efficiency only would accomplish two other needed results: It would make the military service a~tractive to the better class of young men through opening up scope for ambition, and hence would have a tendency to more readily fill up the ranks; it would also put a premium on good and intelligent work, arouse competition among them, and develop military qualifications through providing rewards. It would have the further result of permitting the weeding out of poor material before sufficient rank had been acquired to make such weeding out difficult or practically unattainable, which is not now the case. ~he past system has but too often resulted in getting rid of poor material into higher positions where it was thought no (or little) harm could be done, and later involve the passing over of seniors by their juniors, a course which always tends to deprive rank of respectability and authority, and results in poor standards and lack of discipline.
Corporals should be selected from privates, of not less than six months' service, because of efficiency and believed ability. If found, after reasonable trial, to be incompetent as corporals, they should be reduced and a new appointment made.
Sergeants should be similarly selected from the corporals, the best suitable being appointed first and quartermaster sergeants, according to ability.
Battalion and regimental non-commissioned staff officers should be selected from sergeants of organi-

3-ag

34

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

zations, for ability and good record, and, if found able and sufficient should be appointed to the commi ioned taff when vacancies occur.
Second lieutenants hould be elected from ergeants; but, as it may occasionally happen that suitable material would not be available in a particular organization at the time needed, it is believed that election from civil life might be nece ary in some cases. Thi grade might, therefore, be filled by election by the men of the organization, eligibility being limited to the ergeants or de irable civilians of the community. But elections by subordinates
hould not be had in any other cases of appointment or promotion, if it can be avoided.
All first lieutenants hould be ucceeded by their second lieutenant , except that taff position might be filled from the non-commis ioned staff or from second lieutenants of organizations.
Captains of organizations hould in all case be ucceeded by their fir t lieutenant; taff captain should be selected from fir t lieutenants or captains, according to ability for the special po ition.
Majors (of regiments) should be selected from the captains, by the field officers in secret and confidential meeting, the colonel's vote to decide in ca e of a tie.
Lieutenant-Colonel hould in all case succeed to the colonel, ~nd should be selected with that end in view, by the colonel, who should ascertain and be guided by the wi hes of his field officers and captains. While his selection should be from the major , it might be well to have captains also eligible to avoid

ADJUTA ~T-GENEBAL's REPORT

35

limiting too closely the field for selection; this should, however, be the exception, and a rare one.
All positions in the staff departments should be filled by selection (as well as majorities in unassigned battalions) by the Advisory Board, due to con ideration being given to long and faithful service in the ational Guard, and to ability and fitness for the dutie involved.
General officers of the line and the AdjutantGeneral and Quartermaster-General should be elected by the field officers, line and staff, of the
ational Guard, from the field officers or captain of the active list having at least five year~ continuous and meritorious service, immediately prior to election; election of general officers of the line to be for five year ,a now, that of the Adjutant and Quarterrna ter-General to be for ten years each; in case of unexpected vacancy and immediate necessity, the Governor to appoint an eligible officer to act (in no case to exceed ix months) pending election and qualification of the permanent officer.
By adoption of some such scheme of appointments and promotions as above suggested, individual ambition, iniative, energy and efficiency would be encouraged, discipline would be promoted, standards of official action be elevated, and the whole ational Guard of the State be placed, it is firmly believed, upon a higher and better plane in a practical way, as well as theoretically. This wou.ld also tend to elevate the military ideals of all concerned, and to make the National Guard of the State a homogenous whole instead of an aggregation of separate and

36

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

more or less independent units, the latter of which ideas is but a relic of an outlived past, and is wholly out of place in the present day.

WEEDING OUT THE INEFFICIENT.
High standards of admission should be maintained by all recruiting officers; it is better to have no men than men .known to be of poor character or unsuited to military service; and there is practically no excuse for such men being allowed to enlist except carelessness or neglect on the part of the recruiting officers.
Inefficiency having once been ascertained, the man should be ruthlessly discharged, for the good of the service where circumstances warrant it. No good can possibly be attained by retaining poor material or inactive members.
on-commissioned officers who do not prove themselves efficient, energetic, interested and ambitious should be reduced to rank , to make way for better.
These means of weeding out are within the power of organization or other commanders, and should follow, as a matter of course; neglect to do so will but pave the way for future and greater troubles.
Commissioned officers who fail to develop proper abilities or to conform to proper standards in the performance of their duties and in fitting themselves for future promotions should be called upon to resign, or be forced before retiring boards or courtsmartial, until gotten rid of. And all officers composing such boards or courts should carefully consider that upon their action will depend almost en-

tirely the moral tone of the commissioned personnel. In proportion as their action is based upon proper and high ideals and is fearless and unselfish, having in view only the good of the service and no personal ends, just in that same proportion will their action command respect and conduce to the welfare of the whole National Guard.
In this connection it may also be said that, with a view of bringing organizations up to standard which have been reported or are known not to be, it would be well to make a distinction in the kind and quality of equipment, tentage, etc., issued the better going to organizations of known efficiency and which take good care of their property, while inferior articles (of which there is always a quantity on hand in the State which has been previously used or has been repaired) should be issued to the inferior organizations until they have shown themselves qualified to properly use and care for the best available. No unserviceable property should, of course, be issued to any troops; but, due to disbandments of organizations, etc., there are always articles on hand which are less desirable due to previous use, but which must be used until unserviceable; and certainly the better organizations are entitled to the best treatment possible in all ways, as a recognition of their work and efficiency. This will be perfectly practicable hereafter due to the order of merit to be established as a result of the coming inspection.

PROPERTY AND SUPPLIES.
A rmament and Equipment.

All troops (except Field Artillery batterie ) have been upplied with new rifle and accoutrement during the year, and should therefore be perfectly 'equipped to that extent.
Cavalry troop have not yet been supplied with revolver, and it i not de ired to do so until a atisfactory model has been decided upon by the War Department. Sabres are generally old and not in good condition. Saddle, bridle, etc., are old, of black leather, and not generally in good condition. Ru et leather equipments hould be obtained as soon as practicable, being first is ued to those organization which are reported as most efficient.
The Fir t Field Battery of Artillery i completely equipped with modern guns, etc., which are beautifully cared for. The Second Battery, F. A. is endeavoring to procure uch equipment, and will, on the completion of the Armor at Atlanta, be in a po ition to properly tore and care for it.
No arrangement, however, i made by the State for furni runO' hoI' e for u e with the e batterie ; hence, the greater part of the in truction nece ary i impracticable, and it is difficult to keep these organization interested and up to standard accordingly. Attention i invited to the Report of the Secretary of War, 1908 on thi ubject, on pages 168-72.

Clothing.

Clothing is believed to be ufficient in quantity and erviceable in quality; but, e pecially as to khaki, i not very well cared for as to being kept clean and in good repair; too much of it is lost by the men, who are not generally required to pay for articles i ued to them and 10 t through carele nes or neglect, a ide from the fact that they are rarely or never di ciplined for failure to properly care for or account for it.
Olive-drab uniforms have not as yet been furni hed the enlisted men, hence, the only clothing available for use in cold weather i the old blue "fatigue" (now called "dre ") uniform, with blue ker ey overcoats and capes. Olive-drab uniform and overcoats should be upplied as soon as practicable.
Camp and Garrison Eq'uipage.

(as if made with bayonets or some sharp instruments), or are cut or intentionally ripped. Organizations do not take sufficient care in replacing lost ropes, keepers, etc., or in patching small holes.
Field ranges and utensils are in serviceable condition, though in some cases they are neglected and not properly cared for at home stations.

Sho'rtage of Property.

From matters which have come before me, both as Inspector-General and Survey Officer, it is evident that there is a large discrepancy between the amounts of property carried on War Department" returns and the amounts actually on hand in the State. As it appears that, in the past, there has been no transfer, or accounting, for the property from one Quarterrna ter-General to another, it is quite possible that thi shortage may be in some degree the result of clerical errors, which have been undiscovered and hence perpetuated. It is thought, however, to be principally the result of the accumulated small hortage of many years past, which have not been surveyed and dropped at the time of occurrence, as should have been done.
Due to the lap e of time since many of the losses occun:ed, it i now impossible to obtain exact data as to the causes of the losses, or to obtain payment from officers who are responsible for them, as these officers have largely passed out of the service and their bonds lap ed, even where these ex-officers have not died or left the State. The loss therefote must

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

41

fall upon the State, that is, upon the U. S. appropriations for the use of the State. The exact amount of the shortage should be ascertained, by inventories and as a part of the coming annual inspection, and settlement made therefor in full, so that the property appearing from returns to be on hand, shall actually be so. Hereafter all such shortages should be ascertained, in a similar manner, and duly settled each year, and each Quartermaster-General should, upon being replaced by Ii successor, be required to make such accounting to his successor that the latter may know accurately what property is on hand in the State and where it is.

STAFF DEPARTMENTS.
The Adjutant-General.
By reason of insufficient clerical force, the Adjutant-General is, in my opinion, greatly hampered in the proper performance of his onerous and exceedingly important duties. He is accordingly forced to devote too great a portion of his time to duties merely clerical in character, and is tied too closely to his office, instead of being. free to devote his energies and abilities to the h~gher functions of his position. These are: Collection of data and formulating policies for the improvement of the National Guard; drafting legislation needed, familiarizing politicians with it and the reasons for it, and, in all proper ways, attempting to procure its enactment; visiting localities to investigate and decide upon the feasibility and desirability of 0 ganizing or disbanding mili-

42

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

tary bodies at such points; dealing with new paper representatives and thus regulating the publicity of military affairs with a view to creating public intere t in the National Guard and educating public opinion as to the need and value to the State and nation of our citizen soldiery, etc.
The Adjutant-General should, therefore, have a chief clerk who would not only relieve him of all dutie purely clerical and routine but would al 0, through knowledge of office affair, greatly facilitate the transfer of the office to a succes or, and enable the latter to more ea ily and better perform his. dutie from the start.
Efficiency in the ational Guard will very largely depend upon the Adjutant-General, who is practically it commander under the Governor, and to whom the Governor looks for military knowledge and experience to gujde him in the performance of hi dutie as the Commander-in-Chief. And as the National Guard i continuous and hould be progre ive in efficiency, it hould be governed by continuous and progre ive militai'y policies, and by uch only. Frequent change in thi important office are very unde irable accordingly, and should be made only for excellent rea on ,a inefficiency in office, death, resignation, -etc. Moreover, service of the highe t degree of efficiency can not be expected if the Adjutant-General i dependent, politically or otherwise, on the favor of his subordinate , for the more efficiently he perform hi dutie, the more unpopular he i likely to be with them. On the other hand, there is no better way, in my opinion, of select-

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

43

ing a capable man for till pO ition than by the limited election already uggested.

The Qua'rterrnaster-General.

In a general way the arne remarks apply to the Quartermaster-General a to the Adjutant-General, a to requisite condition for efficiency and the manner and period of appointment.
The Quartermaster-General (who also acts as Commissary-General and Chief of Ordnance) is also too greatly hampered in the performance of his duties by lack of assistants. He should have a chief clerk capable of relieving him of purely routine and clerical duties, so that he would be free to attend to property matters requiring ill pre ence at station throughout the State. There should be an Armorer (or AI' enal Keeper) appointed by and olely under control of the Quarterma ter-General, to care for property in the AI' enal and attend to its receipt and 1 ue.
The Quartermaster-General's office hould be for hi ole u e, and all article not needed by him hould be removed therefrom. The limit of power and re ponsibility of the Quartermaster-General in di ciplinary matters ari ing from property relations hould be very clearly defined, so that there may be no doubt as to where his province ends and that of the Adjutant-General begins.
The Quartermaster-General should be furni hed with copies of all order' or other information which could in any way affect property matters; and his

44

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

recommendation as to disciplinary action to be taken as result of property matters should be most care fully considered and followed unless there is very good reason to the contrary, in which case he should be fully informed as to the reasons and as to the action that is taken. In other words, these two departments should heartily co-operate- with- each other for the good of the service, which does not appear to have been done in the past.

THE JUDGE ADVOCATE-GENERAL.

At present there is no Judge Advocate-General, in the true sense of the word; there is but one officer in this department, and he does not reside in Atlanta, where most needed. It appears to me, therefore, that there should be a Judge Advocate-General who resides at Atlanta who should be a lawyer of high standing at the bar of the State and who should be required, previous to appointment, to thoroughly familiarize himself with military law and the practice of courts-martial; who should be appointed on the recommendation of the Advisory Board, after satisfactory examination, with the rank of BrigadierGeneraL It should be his duty to act as a member of the Advisory Board, to render decision on all points of law submitted to him by the Governor or the Adjutant-General, to aid in drafting military legislation, and, especially to prosecute before State courts all suits at law to procure settlements of accounts of bonded officer throughout the State when necessary. He should be appointed for a period of

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPOR-T

45

at least five years, subject to reomval by the Governor on the recommendation of the Advisory Board. He should have full authority to engage in business for himself, provided, however, that such private business shall in no case interfere with or take precedence over the proper business of his military office.
It is believed that the military rank and prominent po.sition offered, together with a fixed salary of not to exceed $1,000.00 a year (beside expenses while traveling), would prove sufficiently attractive to enable the State to procure' the services of a man of weight and ability, and vastly to the benefit of the National Guard.
ARMORIES.

Some of the armories used by the troops are private property of organizations; others are buildings, or parts of buildings, provided by municipalities for this purpose; both these classes are more or less suitable buildings for this purpose, and are reasonably ecure for the storage and care of the property issued to troops. In the majority of cases, however, the rooms used as armories are rented, were not built for the purpose, and are more or less unsuitable or inconvenient, and are often not sufficiently secure for the protection of the public property stored in them.
Due to the climate throughout the State, it is not believed necessary that armories should be provided with extensive drill halls, as drills can be had outside at all seasons of the year. What should be provided, therefore, beside safe storage for all property and

46

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

facilities for prompt access to it -in case of emergency, is an attractive meeting place for the organizations and such facilities for athletic and other amusements for the men as will make the organizations attractive to the better class of young men as a sort of military club whose benefits they would have without expense to themselves and would be loath to lose through failure to properly perform their military dutie .
Every effort should be made to provide such armories at all point where organizations are efficient and give promise of permanency, either through appropriations made by the State or the municipalitie concerned. In each case all organization of the locality hould be provided for in the same building, 0 far as possible, and due provi Ion made for the care of the building and safety of the property. And if ,such buildings were provided with armories on the upper floors and business places or offices below, it is believed they would eventually become source of income to the State, thus lessening the need for future appropriations for maintenance of the National Guard.
In any case it i not believed that any other means can be found which would more conduce to the attractiveness of the service, and the permanence and progressive efficiency of the organizations.

EXPENSES.

The expenses of maintenance of organizations are, at present, met by the organizations themselves, from

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

47

funds derived from five sources: "armory rent allowance," furnished by the State; appropriations by towns and counties, to their local organizations; "dues" paid by members; incomes of organizations as corporations; or from private funds of officers, or subscription, etc.
While it i perfectly proper that the municipalities should be encouraged to contribute to the upport of the organization which give them protecti9n in case of need and in which they take local pride, it is not believed to be good policy to require "dues" from member or to necessitate expenditure of private funds by the officers, for purely military needs. Such contribution hould be purely countary and exceptional, and should be u ed only for ocial amusement or entertainment of the organization. It is deemed especially undesirable that ability to contribute financially to the expenses of the organization shall be a prerequisite to acceptance of a commission therein, as this would prevent promotion of many able officers and in no way promotes discipline or efficiency.
All neces ary expen es, from a military point of view, should be met by the State from its appropriations; the e include (at home stations), armory rent, fuel, light, tationery, postage, water rent, etc.; performance of clerical work of the organization; care of property, and repairs to property to keep it in serviceable condition. The amounts at present allowed, a~ "armory rent," are in nearly all cases inufficient, and should be increa ed. (See recommendations).

48

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

It is thoroughly understood by me that, in order to carry ont the recommendations of tbis report, increased appropriations by the State will be needed, and that they will be continuous from year to year. More than tbis even, it is also understood that, due to increased efforts for the efficiency and especially should there be an increase in the size or number of our organizations, these appropriations will necesarily increase from year to year to some degree. It is also foreseen that there may be some difficulty in procuring these larger appropriations, due to the small number of persons in the State who are affected, and to lack of general interest in the ational Guard. All this is simply "another matter." The fact remains that the appropriations assigned by the War Department for the use of tbis State for its National Guard (or Organized Militia) are now over $100,000.00 per year; this amount is not intended to entirely support the St~te troops, but merely to aid them and give them an incentive to progressive efficiency, and is ~ot intended to les en the interest taken by the States in their troops or to relieve the States of their proper share in the burden of expense of troops primarily for the use and protection of the States and of the lives and property of their inhabitants. Each State is expected to do its part toward the support of its ational Guard, and it is not believed that it is unfair, unjust, or excessive to expect that a State shall appropriate at least one-half as much per year for tbis purpose as is given by the general government. Tbis would require annual appropriation by tbis State for its National Guard of

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

49

about $54,000.00 per year, which would amply cover all expenses as contemplated for the recommendations herein made.
It is understood that the present amount of State appropriation, aside from exceptional amounts, is about $25,000.00 per year.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
In view of all the above, I have the honor to submit the following as my recommendations for the improvement of the National Guard of the State, together with such amendments to the Military Code as may be involevd in making the changes effective:
Staff Departments.
That the Adjutant-General and the QuartermasterGeneral be appointed for a period of ten years each, pursuant to election by the captains and field officers of the active list of the ational Guard, from the commissioned officers on the active list and having over five years continuous and meritorious service at date of election.
That a Judge Advocate-General, with rank of Brigadier-General, be appointed, for a period of five years, at a salary of not to exceed $1,000.00 per year.
That the Adjutant-General be allowed a chief clerk at a salary of not to exceed $100.00 per month.
That the salary of the Quartermaster-General be increased to $3,000.00 per year; that he be bonded in the sum of $5,000.00 and be required to transfer all property to his successor.

When the skirmish was run the wind was varying from two to three 0 'clock with a velocity of 15 to 25 miles, these conditions made high scores possible, only to teams that had unlimited opportunities for practice.

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

57

The Executive Officer of the National Match ruled that on the skirmish the piece must be locked and top of butt on the ground until fir t note of commence firing then the piece would be unlocked and aimed, thi reduced the time considerably and coupled with our lack of familiarity with the new Springfield contributed in a great measure to the poor showing made by our team.
I advocated la t year the election of the team 60 days in advance of the ational Match and that the team be a embled for practice two weeks in advance of ational Match; unless the team is assembled for practice on a home range before they leave for the rational Match, I am constrained to believe that it is not good policy to select the team that far in advance. My information is that the desire for practice on the part of a number of this year's team was not as keen as it was in former years.
The practice available to a team at Oamp Perry, in advance of the ational Match Preliminary Practice is so limited in amount and character that a team is not compensated for the time spent. Vastly much more could be accomplished on a home range where you could regulate the time and kind of practice.
We experienced considerable trouble with metal fouling, which tended very much against accurate shooting. This is a serious problem and renders the new Springfield, with the present ammunition far from being a serviceable weapon in warfare.
To remove this fouling the rifle must be cooled, and a strong ammonia solution poured into the bar-

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

The prize drill for the Regimental Medal was participated in by a team of five men from each of the Savannah companies. Officers from the Coast
\
Artillery Corps, N. G. of Ga., acted as judges. Private Joseph P. Doyle of Company L. (Irish Jasper Greens) was the successful competitor.
Companies A, Band G have had individual, squad and company prize drills at Thomasville and Valdosta.
Owing to restrictions, which practically prohibited the use of Avondale Range, after !une 1st, the target firing record is not as good as formerly. The regiment qualified eighteen expert riflemen, five sharp -shooters and sixty-four marksmen.

and did its share of the work of the day, making a number of captures and succe sfully holding the advanced position eized by it early in the engagement.
Officer~ and men took intense interest in their work, and all were gratified at the record made by the regiment.
The fire discipline and the taking of cover by the enlisted men were especially commendable.
On the 21st of July, the First Georgi.a Infantry participated in the review of all the troops at Camp,. W. H. Taft by the Secretary of War, General Luke E. Wright and General J. Franklin Bell, U. S. A. Throughout the encampment, t~e di cipline wa good. The men were cheerful in pite of hardship , the worst of which was the almost entire absence of water at the shower bath. During hot weather, water for bathing purpo es i almo t a necessary as water for drinking purpo es, and this serious defect should be remedied before the next encampment.
The morale of the regiment wa excellent. There was no disorder going or returning.
Sanitary regulations were strictly ob erved, and, in consequence, there was no sickness.
Tp.e affairs of the Quartermaster's Department moved smoothly, under the intelligent direction of Capt. J. J. Gaudry.
The admini tration wa handled equally as well by the Adjutant, Capt. C. H. Richardson.
Major Train and As i tant Surgeons, Captain White and Cooley, and Lieut. !.lartin, took good care of the health and cleanliness of the camp.

AnJUTANT-GENERAI..'S REPORT

81

Acting Commissary Mc~ntire assumed his unaccustomed duties only a day before the encampment, and deserves favorable mention for the conscientious manner in which he handled the difficult task.
Captain Dancy, Acting Ordnance Officer, per: formed his duties in a manner entirely satisfactory to all those with whom he came in contact.
The First Infantry Band added much to the enjoyment of the regiment, participating in each guard mount, and escorting the regiment into camp after each drill.
The Hospital Corps and on-Commissioned Staff mea ured fully up to requirements.
The Battalion Commanders, Majors O'Leary, Dunn and Coart, were invaluable in the assistance rendered the Regimental Commander. Orders to the companies were transmitted through Battalion Commanders, thus materially lightening the work of the Regimental Commander.
The company commanders, the other line officers and the enlisted men performed their duties in a manner which won commendation from the United States Army Officers appointed to observe them.
Immediately after the review on the 21st' of July, tents were struck; the streets were policed and, leaving behind them a perfectly clean camping ground, the various organizations of the regiment entrained for home stations, which were reached on the 22d of July.
Without exception, the officers and the men who took part in the encampment appreciated the opportunities offered for improving their military knowl-

Sm.-Referring to your request for a report upon the duties performed by the regiment from January 1st, 1908, until the date of my retirement from the command of the regiment, I have the honor to summarize the principal events as follows:

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

83

On January 19th, 1908, the regiment participated in a joint parade to commemorate the birthday of General Robt. E. Lee.
On February 22d, battle exercises took place at Springfield, Effingham County, Georgia. The entire regiment entrained at Savannah, and upon reaching Springfield divided into two forces, one commanded by myself and the-other by Major M. J. O'Leary. A detachment of cavalry from the First Squadron, ational Guard of Georgia, accompanied each force in the battle exercises. Excellent practice in the duties of advance and rear guard, and fire discipline, and in taking cover, was obtained by both forces. A large number of spectators witnessed the engagement. No decision was rendered.
The troops partook of a barbecue as guests of Mr. Geo. M. Brinson, President of the Brinson Ry., whose hospitality was much appreciated.
The conduct of the men was excellent, and perfect discipline was maintained throughout the entire trip.
Several foreign officers were present, and commented favorably upon the exercises.
April 7th, 8th and 9th, 1908, field and staff, noncommissioned staff and the Savannah companies of the regiment, were inspected by Majors G. L. Landers and F. L. Palmer, U. S. A. The reports of these officers indicate the impression produced upon them by the inspections, which were superior even to the satisfactory inspections of the previous year.
The use of the Avondale Range was restricted to

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

the 600-yard range, and to men preparing for the State Shoot on J nne 1st, 1908.
From July 1st -to 27th, 1908, the regiment participated in joint maneuvers at Chickamauga Park, a report of which has been furnished by me under date of October 19th, 1908, to the Assistant Adjutant General of the Georgia Brigade, a copy having been furnished you as information.
Trusting that the above will be of a i tance to you in compiling your Annual Report,

Very respectfully, G. A. GORDON, Colonel, Retired.

January 1, 1909.
ADJUTANT GENERAL,
State of Georgia, Atlanta, Ga.
Sm.-I have the honor to submit my annual report a Commanding Officer of the 2d Regiment of Infantry, ational Guard of Georgia:
Instruction: With the exception of three companies in Macon, no two companies of this Regiment have home stations in the same town. Therefore, the instruction is necessarily, for the most part, committed to the company officers.

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

85

Since the return from the tour of duty at camp a noticeable increase of interest in practical field intruction ha been noted. The company commanders have undertaken mall practical problems with their companies. The three companies at Macon have had battalion drill and participated in small field maneuvers under the upervision of the battalion commander and the field officers at Macon.
The officers' school established by General Orders last year meet in Macon on the second Thursday in -each month and theoretical instruction is given. There is no way to enforce attendance at this school by the officer not resident to Macon.
Maneuvers: The Regiment went into camp at Camp William H. Taft, Chickamauga Park, Ga., July 13 to 21 in-elusive. I have previously submitted to the Adjutant General of the 1st Brigade a report covering this tour of ,duty, a copy of which I attach to the present report. Active Service: .r 0 companies of the Regiment have been called into ervice in aid of the civil authoritie during the past year. Rifle Practice: Interest in this most important feature of the instruction of the soldiers has been largely increased throughout the Regiment. The Regimental competition was held at the Holton Rifle Range September 10-11. Eight companies .and the field and staff were represented in the com-' -petition.

86

An,rUTANT-GENEBAL'S REPORT

The shoot was highly successful and the interest fostered thereby gives promise of even better results next year.
I call special attention to the progress made by Company H in rifle practice. The team of this Company coming from a great distance remained in the competition throughout, not being eliminated at any stage.
Recommendations: I renew the recommendations made in my former reports. That which most of all impairs the efficiency of the companies of this Regiment is the difficulty in securing competent officers who will perform their duties and remain in the ervice. The very qualities which fit men for commissions imply that they are busy men. We will never reach a high stage of efficiency until some provision is made for the emplOYment and pay of competent clerks to attend to the details of correspondence and administration. It ha been ugge ted that no camp will be held this year, but that the State will use its funds otherwi e. I respectfully uggest that nothing could be more detrimental to the service than to fail to put the troops into camp each year. The tour of duty in camp is what the men look iorward to throughout their service in all the rest of the year. To take from them the hope that tpey will be given at lea t a week in camp will discourage them, destroy interest, and prevent recrlliting.

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

87

I respectfully recommend that anything else be given up rather than the tour of duty in camp.

Very respectfully,
A. WALTER HARRIS,
Colonel, Commanding 2d Infantry, N. G. of Ga.

August 6, 1908.
ADJUTANT GENERAL,
First Brigade N. G. of Ga.,
Atlanta, Ga.
SIR.-In compliance with General Order o. 6, A. G. O. ",June 5, 1908, this Regiment participated in the joint army and militia exercises at Camp William H. Taft, Chickamauga Park, Ga., July 13 to 21 inclusive.
The various subdivisions of this Regiment left their respective home stations on July 12, 1908. rrhe hours of the entraining and route travel are as hown in General Order o. 6 from the Headquarters of the Regiment, a copy of which is attached.
The movement to camp was made. as set out in this order with the exception that instead of moving in two sections from Atlanta over the Western & .Atlantic Railroad a third section was made up in Atlanta, consisting of Companies A, E, and H of this Regiment, one Company of the 5th Infantry and Brigade Headquarters.

88

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

The trains were well handled by the railroads; no delays occurTed and the Company of this command arrived at Lytle on schedule time, detrained promptly and were all at their camp site before 6 a. m., July 13th.
The railroad authorities deserve the highe t commendation for the efficient manner in which they handled this movement and the good service given.
Arriving at camp the Regimental commander reported to the Brigadier General commanding the 1st Brigade of the N. G. of Ga., at 5 a. m., July 13, 1908.
It was very gratifying to find that the camp of the regiment had already been laid out and the position of each tent marked by a take. Thi saved much time, labor, and annoyance.
The trength of the Regiment as shown by the con olidated morning report of the first day wa 4 officers and 529 men. One man of Company 'K joined during the day and before mu ter, making the total trength 48 officers and 530 men. Company K was Company C 4th Battalion Infantry National Guard of Georgia attached to the Regiment for this tour of duty. I think the instruction given this Regiment during thi tour of duty was far more practical than any that it ha hitherto received. We began at the beginning with the officers and men. The only possible criticism is that the course i not long enough. It i to be regretted that before another camp of instruction is had there will be so many changes among the officers and enlisted men that in tead of proceeding from the point to which the regiment ha now advanced in the instruction, it

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

89

will probably be found nece ary to repeat the elementary instruction, which wa received in thi camp. The only remedy for this is the more frequent assembling of the battalion and of the regiment. The benefits derived from this ource of instruction within the hort time that it was given, by every officer and enlisted man are incalculable.
Captain George E. Moore 20th U. S. Infantry and Captain Albert E. Saxton 8th U. S. Cavalry were on duty as instructors with this regiment daily both in the morning and in the afternoon. Lieutenant J one , 7th U. S. Infantry was also with the regiment a instructor in the afternoon.
Upon the suggestion of the e officers the course of in truction was projected.
That it was succe sfully carried out with the greate t benefit to the regiment wa due to their unfailing courtesy, their lively interest, and to the cheerfulness with which they gave information, and the ease and clearnes with which they imparted knowledge.
The Commanding officer of the Regiment acknowledges his debt of gratitude to them.
In importance and benefits derived second not even to the practical field instruction wa the instruction given in the necessity of observance of the strictest sanitary regulations. This is always hardest to impress upon the militia. In the camp the regulations were more strictly enforced and officer and men seemed to have a better idea of their value and the absolute necessity for their observance than ever before. The sanitary circulars in camp head-

-

90

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

quarters were complete and exhaustive. Major Wright, of the medical Department who was sanitary officer of the regiment and responsible for the enforcement of these regulations is due credit for the manner in which they were observed. By his untiring efforts the infractions of these regulations were daily growing fewer and their enforcement becoming easier on account of the interest awakened among the officers and men.
The incinerators seemed to solve the problem in the fixed camp. It is hoped that no other, even State camps, will be held without them.
The regiment broke camp on July 21st at noon.
The trains of the third section were unreasonably delayed and the Companies were compelled to wait until after midnight before entraining. This was deplorable and unnecessarily wore out the men who were already tired from breaking camp and participating in the review.
A brief outline of the work done each day during this tour of duty is here given:
July 13th: Arrived, reported to General Commanding, made camp.
Mustered:
July 14th : Forenoon-Battalion drill. Afternoon-Orders from camp headquarters required .instructions in duties of advance, rear and flank guards and patrols.

ATLANTA, GA., Jan. 1, 1909.
ADJUTANT GENERAL OF GEORGIA,
Atlanta, Ga.
Srn.-I have the honor to submit herein my annual report as Commander of the Fifth Infantry National Guard of Georgia.
The various companies of tbis command have held weekly drills during the year at their armories. The drill consisting, in the main, in close and extended order, advance and rear guard and outpost duty. Some drill has been had in guard duty, but not as much as I hope for during the present year. I believe that the companies are devoting more time to extending order than ever before in the bistory of the Regiment, and I believe that I may safely say that all of the companies are reasonably efficient in tbis duty.
In addition to the e drills, the companies stationed in Atlanta have had regimental formations each month, and at wbich times close and extended order drills were had; also parade and review, advance and rear guard and outpost duty, attack and defense. These drills will be continued throughout the year.
The companies at Marietta, Cedartown, Lindale, Athens and Winder have paraded in their respective towns on one or more occasions during the year.

The entire Regiment was in camp at Camp Taft, Chickamauga, Ga., from July 13th to the 22d inclusive. Each company, the band, hospital corps, and the field and staff were present, with very few abentees among the officers and a sufficient full roster of enlisted men to make a very profitable tour of duty. This tour of duty is regarded by the officers and men of the Regiment as having been perhaps the most instructive of any ever held. As shown by the reports of the various officers of this camp, detailed instruction was given in the elements of drill in all branches, and the more extended work in patrolling, reconnoissance, attack and defense, and other important branche , was thoroughly covered.
I de ire to speak especially of the work done by the several staff departments of this Regiment during this tour of duty. The work done by all the department of the staff evinced an efficient and earne t comprehension of their duties, and I believe that the e departments could be relied upon for active du in the field fo~ any extended tour.
The new armory for the militia of Atlanta is completed and the companies will move into same about the 1st of February, 1909. A great deal of interest has been manifested in rifle practice during the year in this Regiment. The Atlanta Military Rifle Range, located near Fort McPherson in Fulton
ounty, has been placed under the joint control of the militia of the City of Atlanta, and the members of this command feel an interest in the same and an interest in rifle shooting, which, I believe, the reports will show has been unequalled' in any year in the

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

Regiment's history. The Regiment has erected, at considerable expense, a house at the range, with convenient closets for each company and berths for the men to use over night for early morning shooting.
As an evidence or the advance of rifle shooting in this Regiment, I desire to call attention to the fact that a very large per cent. of the men representing the State at Camp Perry last year were selected from this Regiment. The work of this department has been greatly assisted by the law authorizing an assistant inspector of small arms practice to be assigned to the various Regiments, and the efficient work done in this Regiment by this officer.
In accordance with the law authorizing recommendations from the Commanders, I have the honor to submit the following:
The Company Commanders and other accountable officers should be relieved from all old, unserviceable and obsolete property, and their bond should be credited with the same. The suggestion contained in paragraph 4 of circular No.1 A. G. O. 1908 is an excellent one and should not only be an opportunity for the various officers to return this
property, but they should be absolutely required to
do so. The Company Commanders and other accountable officers should not be required to carryon hand any property which is not serviceable and useful to them.
The State, in my opinion, should set aside an allowance for the purpose of equipping its officers with proper uniforms and field appurtenances.

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

101

The State, as soon as possible, should allow compensation to various organization headquarters for employment of an efficient soldier to do the work of these headquarters, or, as suggested in my annual report of 1907, retired, non-commissioned officers of the army. should be secured and detailed for this purpose.
The manner of receipting for band property is a very unsatisfactory one, if the Adjutant of the Regiment is to be required to give his receipt for the same. In my opinion, if possible, some one directly connected with the band, who meets with them, and is constantly in touch with the band, should be directly responsible for this to the State, or the Adjutant or Quartermaster should be allowed to take memorandum re"ceipt of some non-commissioned officer of the band for the same, and should be protected by that receipt.
The State Rifle Shoot should be held later in the ummer, in order to give the various companies time to train their men for this important event.
It is recommended that the State issue to all companies indoor targets, rifles and ammunition, and be required to :file with the Adjutant General report for an indoor season just as now required to file reports for the summer season.

Respectfully, E. E. POMEROY,
Colonel Commanding.

The same rule will govern in case of promotion of officers.
V. No bonded officer will be promoted, retired, or permitted to resign until he shall have filed with the Adjutant-General of the State a certificate signed by the Quartermaster-General, to the effect that all his property accounts have been adjusted to date, showing the money value due thereon, if any.
VI. No unbonded officer or enlisted man responsible on memorandum receipt for property issued him by a bonded officer will be promoted, transferred, discharged, or allowed to resign until it shall be shown by the certificate of such bonded officer that all property so receipted for has been properly accounted for. Such certificate will be embodied in (or endorsed upon) the application for transfer or discharge by the Company Commander, or by the Quartermaster 0 the organization, in case of officers of the field, staff and band, or by the surgeon in

charge, in case of officers of the Medical Department. VITI. Officers succeeding to the command of an or-
ganization otherwise than as prescribed in preceding paragraphs, for whose property they are required to :file bond and receipt will without unnecessary delay file bond and receipts for all property and funds which are actually on hand; and in no case will the filing of these papers be delayed beyond the sixty days mentioned in Section 73 of the Military Code of the State.
Upon failure to comply with these requirements the penalty prescribed by the above-mentioned section of the military code will stand enforced.
VIII. 0 officer will sign any receipt, voucher or statement referring to military property or affairs until he has made due effort to ascertain its correctness in all points, and is absolutely sure, to the best of his knowledge and belief, that such receipt or statement is correct; for in signing such papers the officer make himself personally responsible in his official capacity, and will be so held.
IX. Should it become necessary to institute legal proceedings to effect a settlement of an officer's accounts, such officer's commission will be summarily cancelled, or he will be ordered before a general courtmartial, or a retiring board, with a view of his elimination from the military service.
X. Requests for relief from responsibility for property lost or damaged, when recommended by the quartermaster-General, will be submitted to the State Survey Officer for action, whose recommenda tion thereon, when approved by the Governor, win

168

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

be final as regards responsibility of officers and men for such property, irrespective of any subsequent action by the reviewing authorities.
XI. Commanding officers of all grades are enjoined to comply fully with the spirit of par. 662, U. S. Army Regulations, edition of 1908, and to enforce strictly the laws and regulations above mentioned.
XII. Memorandum receipts for property issued by Quartermasters of regiments and separate battalions and squadrons for the equipment of the noncommissioned staff officers of such organizations will be given by the officers to whom the men are a signed for duty.
XIII. otice is hereby given to Commanding Officers of all companies, troops and batteries of the National Guard of Georgia that, at his next annual inspection, the State Inspector-General will grade each of the organizations under the following headings and according to the result of his inspection,

Upon the above basis a relative Order of Merit will be computed for all organizations of Infantry, Cavalry, and Artillery. Regimental, Battalion, and Squadron Headquarters, and Hospital Corps De-_ tachments will not be included in the above Order of Merit, though they will be graded 0 far as the. above headings may apply.
As soon as practicable after the In pector-General has submitted the report of his Inspection, the results, as above, will be published in General Orders from this office for the information of the ational Guard of the State and for the future guidance of all organizations concerned.
In computing the attendance at drills for the year, all gatherings of a military character and reported as drills, etc., on the drill book will be counted, whether the instruction be of a practical or theoretical nature. This is not considered to involve any injustice to organizations having a larger number of drills than required by the Regulations, as, even should their percentage of attendance be slightly lowered, due to this reason, it is believed that the gain in efficiency due thereto (and which would appear in other headings) would much more

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

(Cir. No.1, '08.)
STATE OF GEORGIA,
Adjutant-General's Office,
Atlanta, Ga., ovember 24, 1908.
Circular No. 1.
In preparing' for the Annual Inspection of the National Guard (including the Naval Militia), for which orders will be issued as soon as practicable, the following instructions will be carefully studied and strictly complied with by all concerned:
ENLISTED STRE GTH.
1. The Secretary of War each year makes special inquiry concerning those organizations that fail to have at least seventy-five per cent. of their enlisted strength present at the inspection, and the inspecting officer will be required to make special report of such organizations a well as those that do not have the required minimum number of men enlisted, viz.: for companies of infantry, cavalry, signal corps, etc., 58; for Coast Artillery, 93; for Field Artillery, 133. These proper numbers will in no case be exceeded by any organization, as it is also necessary that all men shall be thoroughly equipped; but every possible effort should be made to have the

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

203

full enlisted strength, as above, as the amount of the annual appropriation by the nited States for the State depends upon the number of men reported on by the U. S. Inspector.
2. Discharges should therefore be obtained as soon as possible for all men who have become inactive members (through removal to a distance or any other cause), and all vacancies should be filled by enlisting men suitable, who will be able to be present. This should be accomplished at the earliest possible date, so that all may be as well instructed as possible, and the highest degree of efficiency be attained by all. Non-commissioned officers should be appointed to fill all vacancie in the non-commissioned staff and companies, and they should be thoroughly instructed and practiced in all their duties. Each organization should, if practicable, provide a "waiting list" of men eager to be enlisted when vacancies may occur for them, who should be drilled and instructed so as to be ready to at once take their places in the organization in case of vacancies occurring uddenly or unexpectedly. These men may be given all privileges of other members, but shall not be enlisted until proper vacancies have actually occurred. The issue and use of the necessary equipment, where on hand, is authorized for this purpose, but at the risk of the issuing officer solely; except for drill purposes it must be kept at the armory at all times.

PROPERTY.
3. It is found that, as a result of failure to ascertain and settle annually in the past twenty years, a large shortage exists in the property for which the State i accountable to the War Department. With a view to prompt settlement for -thi shortage by the' State, it is e pecially desired to a certain at thi inspection exactly what property i in the hand of all concerned, whether on return or not, and to obtain possession of all articles now in the hands of persons unauthorized to have the same, either through their being no longer in the service of the State, or any other cau e. All officer and enlisted men are therefore urgently requested to use all possible effort to procure any uch property within their knowledge, and to turn arne in, even if unserviceable, to their organizations for presentation to the State Inspector and Survey Officer, so that the shortage above referred to may be reduced to a minimum. Each organization will be given such credit as may be possible, toward covering its past shortages, for all surplus articles so turned in. It is especially desired to discover rifles, revolvers, bayonet , bayonet scabbards, carbines, cartridge belts, and saddles, as well as arm chests, and any other articles of U. S. ordnance property.
4. Previous to the annual inspection, each accountable officer will carefully inspect personally all the property in his possession (whether surplus or on his return) and separate that which is, in his opinion, unserviceable from the serviceable. In

ADJUTA T-GENERAL'S REPORT

205

pre enting his property for inspection by the Inspecting Officer, the e classes will be presented separately, and so laid out (similar articles together) a to facilitate ready examination and prompt checking. A sufficient number of empty boxes will also be provided in advance, and be on hand, so that all article found by the Inspector to be ~ erviceable, may be at once packed and listed for h~pment to the arsenal, in the presence of the Inspector, which
win relieve the accountable officer from further re-
sponsibility and nece sity of caring for such property.
Thi circular will be read to each organization, by its commander, at the first meeting after receipt thereof.

By order of the Governor.

RE. ERVE MILITIA.
The trength of the re erve militia con i ting of all tho e liable to ervice in the militia but not erving in the National Guard or .J: aval filitia, i e timated at 500,000.
EQ IPMENT.
The militia i now uniformed and equip! ed for field ervi e as required by the ational Militia ct except revolver for officer and non-commi. sionerl officer of Infantry and officer and men of Cavalry. The War Department ha under con ideration the adoption of a new revolver for the . S. Army, but as yet no definite action ha been taken. For thi. reason we have delayed purchasing and i suing to our troop a revolver, until the que tion of make, model and caliber of the revolver to be adopted for the u e of the . S. Army ha been determined.
Dr crPLI~E.
A very marked improvement i noted in the di cipline of the troop. Officer and men generally have

been very prompt in the proper discharge of their duties. Where inattention to matters of di cipline has occurred, tho e who have been carele and negligent in the performance of their military dutie have received, in mo t ca e , proper "puni hment therefor.
CONDITIO OF THE MILITIA.
There has been wonderful improvement made during the year in all oro"anization and branche of the service. There are exi ting condition, relating' to the length of ervice of officer, that hamper the proO'res of the troop which 0 far, it haN been impo ible to remedy to any o"!'eat extent. The Iupeetor-General in hi. report (herewith ubmitted and made a part of thi report as Exhibit" A") refer to thi defect in detail.
I believe the oJ?.ly olution of the que tion i an increa e in the State aI propriation, out of which pay could be authorized for djutant and Quarterrna tel' and compan clerk, and uniform and equipment for officer could be I urcha d. Good olclier of modera te mean. often decline promotion on account of the expen e incident to a commi ion. The military organization of the State need the ervice of every good man in the tate, and it i a deplorable fact that the State i 10 ing the service of a number of good men on account of inadequate financial upport.

alternating with Regimental Parade.

In addition to the in truction in guard duty, coniderable in truction wa given in the fundamental

of field ervic. Thi instruction, beginning with patrolJin o', o'oinO' through the dutie of outpo t advance and rear O'uard culminated on Friday in a

field maneuver in which two battalion attacked the

other. The map u ed in thi problem were mad~ by the

While the work wa not hard and officer and men thoroughly njoyed the tour of duty, it i b lieved

that thi camp wa a ource of the greate t profit

to the ReO'iment.

The fact that there were men in the camp who had not had ix month ervice account for the differ nee bet1\een the ration return and th trength return of the R o-iment.
However, in my opinion, it wa for the b t intere t of the whole en"ice that the e I' cruit hould have their tour in camp a they will be one year men by the time they are put into maneuver camp and will have the benefit of thi previou experien e.
It i recomm nded that tbe Reo-im nt be put in a I' o'imental camp at the exp n e of the tate eacb alternate year in order that the COul' e of in truction beo'un in tbi amI ma b pur u d.

Commendable effort ha been made during the year by the Adjutant-General and Quarterma ter-General to better the condition of affair. by a more lrompt and trict enforcement of the MilitarT Code and the State Regulation, and it i believed that thi 11a had a good effect on all concerned, and 11a re ulted in increa ed attention and

Private Clement of om.Rany B, eriou ly wounded Private aughn of ompany J, with bayonet, while the latter wa attempting to pa. the po t upon which the former' wa tationed. The bayonet entered the thigh about three in he below the hip-bone and came out about three inche above the lrnee. Every medical attention nece ary wa. given and the wounded man i resting a ati factorily a could be hoped.' A thoroug'h inve tigation of the occurrence wa made per onally by the ommanding officer, 'who had all of the evidence trancribed, and the ame i on file in thi office. The inve tigation developed that Private Vaugh~ had been arre ted earlier in the eveninO' for ome light offen e and attempted to e cape the guard and ran acro s the parade pur ued by everal member of the guard, and attempted to cro the line where Private lement. wa on duty. The latter blocked hi way and a cuffle n ued, la ting' three or four minute and covering about thirty feet of ground along the guard line. The 'cuffle on i ted mo tly of"' auo'hn' effort to dodo'e the entinel. Private Clement te tified that in hi effort to trip Private Yaug'han with the bayonet the wound wa inflicted.

HEADQUARTERS FIRST BRIGADE,
NATIONAL GUAim OF GEORGIA,
ATLANTA, GA., January 31, 1910.
ADJUTANT-GENERAL, STATE OF GEORGIA, Atlanta, Ga.
SIR: I have the honor to submit my annual" report
as Chief Inspector Small Arms Practice, National Guard of Georgia, for the target year 1909. Delay in making this report has been caused by a few delinquent Company returns, the last of which reached this office January 12th, over sixty days past due.
Special Course" C" with the modification of Rapid Fire, Target A, instead of Timed Fire, and the substitution of Target B instead of Group G targets, for the Skirmish Fire, was adopted for qualification, and while very substantial improvement appears in some organizations, on account of having no range facilities at Savannah, Georgia, the First Infantry, Coast Artillery Corps, and First Squadron of Cavalry, (representing practically thirty per cent. of the firing strength), did practically no firing, which largely accounts for onlya.slight increase in the State Figure of Merit over previous years. While the result, taking the State as -a whole, was not very satisfac. tory, I am glad to report a greatly increased interest in rifle practice work, due to the establishment of

50

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

new rifle ranges, and furthermore, that to some ex-

tent the relative 'standing of Companies at annual

inspection depends upon their rifle range work. I

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

I. desire to make special mention.' of the excellent
increase in the Figure of Merit of the Eifth Infantry from 15,30 in 1908 to 34.87 in 1909, a gain of over 100 per cent.;. Fourth Battalion::,of Infantry from '19.97 in 1908 to 30.89 in 1909; Second Infantry from 17.85 in 1908 to 29.60 in 1909. A substantial g;ain was also made by the Second Squadron of Cavalry, who again lead the State with Figure of Merit 'of 36.76. ,Among the Companies, I take' pleasure in commending the good work done by Company E, Fourth Battalion of Infantry, who lead the State with Figure of Merit Of 92.30; second, Troop L, Second Squadron of Cavalry, Figure of l\iIJerit of 91.74; third, Company D, Fifth Infantry, Figure of Merit of 87.45" against Figure of Merit in 1908 of 20.60; Fourth, Company B, Second Infantry, Figure of Merit of 86.94 against Figure of Merit in 1908 of 33.50.
It is a noticeable fact that the Companies showing the grea test proficiency in rifle practice, are those officered by enthusiastic riflemen, and it is to be regretted that more officers do not devote more time and attention to this, the most important part of a soldier's education and training. Proficiency with. the rifle iJ.:1. the hands of trained troops means effective fire in battle, and unless the 'National Guard attains the proper proficiency in rifle firing, the object for .which theY: are organi~ed and ,supported by the Federal Government-for' use in'the first line of defense-will not be obtained, and they will be found wanting, when called upon. It should be the duty of all officers to devote more time to the work on the

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

rifle' range, and it is particularly requested of regimental commanders, that they keep behind their officers more than heretofore-encourage them, and look into the progress they are making during the record s~ason of their range work. The practice, however, -of devotirig time and expending ammuni tion to develop a few finished riflemen, for the purpose of satisfying personal gratification and having representation on the State Rifle T-eam, to the neglect' of the major portion of the Company, should be discontin'ued. A Company of sixty average strength, with forty marksmen and twenty first classmen, is a more effective fighting machine, than one with ten expert Tiflemen and fifty fourth classmen. Primarily, the . {)bject of this Department, as has been outlined by my predecessor in previous reports, is to encourage and promote rifle practice among the greatest number, and the policy of fairness to aJJ, and the encour:ageinent of rifle practice by fair and importial competition, the selection of rifle teams strictly by merit -only, will be continued.
During the year, ranges wer~ located and established at Athens, Milledgevi1le, Griffin and Lindale. A new site was located for Savannah, and a thirtylive target range has been in course of construction, but was not completed in time fo'r record firing. With the completion of the new Rose Dhu Range at Savannah, and with the establishment of a range at Augusta, which it is hoped will be in operation in time for record firing in 1910, great improvement is expected in the State's showing in rifle practice, for the target year 1910.

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT

STATE COMPETITION.
A most successful State Competition was held at the Atlanta Military Rifle Range, from August 9th to 11th, inclusive, in accordance with G. O. No.6, A. G. O. Ga., June 22nd, '1909, and at this competition, the team to represent the State in the National "Matches was selected. Seventy competitors entered the competition and a marked improvement in scores was made, as evidenced by a comparison with scores made in previous years at State Competitions. The increase was ]~rgely due to the improved U. S. Mag'a'zine Rifle, Model 1903, over the service rifle, Model 1898; also to the superi"or ammunition, which was the best ever used by the State. A great deal of interest was manifested and a spirit of rivalry created, due -to the fact that trophies and individual medals were -competed for. Thanks are due to the donors of these trophies, cuts of which appear in this report.
I desire to thank the officers of the competition for -their earnest and efficient service. Major J. Van Holt Nash acted as Executive. Officer and fulfilled the duties of that' difficult office with his usual fair-ness and tact. Major W. E. Coney was untiring in nis efforts as Statistical Officer. I wish to also make :-special mention of services rendered by Lieut. C. L. Stockdell as Camp Quarterma~ter and Commissary. 'The arrangement of camp was ideal and the mess as -conducted by Lieut. 8tockdell and an efficient corps of ilOn-commissioned officers as assistants, was excellent. I enclose herewith (Marked Exhibit E), :report of Medical Officer Major W. J. Gilbert.

The figures as IIhOiWll in the column, of disbursements above are taken fuom the sw{)rn statemwts of the officCIs of the sevcral organizations. The figull'es as shown in the wlumn of am{)l1ut received from the State show the amounts paid by the StatiC as per vouchers on file in this 'Offiee. As will be seen from thc above tlllbles, while the 'State is paying $11,005.11 the organizations are paying $41J 923.87, wlhich is $30,918.76 more than t'he 'State is paying to keep up a State institutio.n. provided for by the Constitu tion of the State. I am quite fearful that tb.e re pat.riotism of the officers and men of the militia of this State can not muc,h longer survive under this 'heavy load. In fact, even now efficient officCil's and men ar,e Leaving the military sCll'vice on account of this heavy tax on their private resources. As stated previously in this rep()rt, during this yea-r nin<ety-six officers and eleven hundred fifty-four men severoo their conJlection with the militia. The albove figlllTes do not represent other than the actual expenses of

tho companies. 'Dhe militia is the only State institution in which the State does not pay tho aetual expenses of the institution. I ask in behalf of the thi.rtyfhe hundred patriQtic, sel-sacrifieing militiamen of Georgia that you present this matter to the General Assembly of Georgia in your annual message and ask for an appr,opriation of $50,000.00, annually, with which to pay the actual expenses of the troops. The officers <lnd men of the Goorgia militia are ever reaidy to respond promptly and effieiently to every call made upon them by the civil authorities to assist in maintaining peooe and order within the bou,nds of this great State. They giV'6 theiT time in preparing themselves to perform thek duty in a creditable ~nd efficient manner, and all they ask of the State is to pay tbeir actual and necessary expenses.

Equipment.
ThOTe have been purchased and issued to the ttroops since my last annual .report oliv:e dra'b shirts nnd Tllsset leather belts and cartridge boxes. A suffieient number of Gold Medal -eots to furnish one to each officer and man have been purchased and are now stored in the State Arsenal, with the .exception of those for the First .Regiment of Infant.ry, which have been issued to that organization. The russet lenther belts and cMtridge boxes complete the blne dress unifarm. The cots complete the camp equipment.
R,ovolvers for officers and cavalry troops have not been purchased for tho same reasons as' given in my last annual report.
~J.\he most serious problem that ,conronts this office is the question of supplying suitable J11ll1r,ching shoes for field service. This matter is now undor consideration, but no definite plan JI:lS been outlined by which a practical issue of this equipment can be made.

Efficiency of the Militia.
While I am of tho opiniQn that the trQops of this State Willpare most f.a\orably with those of any State, I am going to incorporate under this sub-diyision what those who ,have given the war game a life study sny about the troops of this State:

REPORT 0 T FIELD 11\ PECTION
FIRST REGIMEr T OF INFA TRY, N. G. GA.,
By Captain Wm. lffll]l-aJ), 1 t U. S. Infantry.
Gua.rd Duty.
tBefOll'le c.oming to camp, IllJl1ny of the officers and men had e\;dently had VfrrY little drill in guard duty. pedal attention was paid to this during the enc3ilIlpme:lt and the improvement was very noticeable.
Discipline.
orne ca es were noticed where the men were slow to obey the command of their officers, but the ditlcipline of the command as a whole can be graded as "very good." he Commanding Officer is to be commended for the fumne s with which he dealt with one or two matters of discipline among his officer .
Efficiency of Commissioned Personnel.
ommanding Officer and Lieutenant Colonel are very efficient. Many of the other officers were not as familiar with their duties a they ought to have been, but this was due to lack of experience in h-andl.i1lg of bodies of troop. All are capable of becoming efficient after ufficient practical work.
Readiness for Field Service.
With the f w exceptions noted, the regiment is equipped sufficiently to go into the field. In regard to instruction, the regiment is not a well instructed in extended ordea-, advance guard, outpost, fOil'mll.tions for attack, and patroling as it ought to be to go into the field. It C'Ould be put into a state of efficiency, however, in a few month practical w<>rk.
In General.
The spirit hown by officers and men was excellent. All did their very be t in all the exercises in which they took part. Comparing this T giment with other militia regiments observed, and with volunteer regiments <>rganized in 1898 fOO' the War with
pain, the 1st InfantTy, Organized Militia of Georgia, should be graded as Excellent.
Both officers and men expres ed themselves as having been greatly plea ed with their tour of duty at this Camp of Instruction.

FIFTH" REGll'lE IT OF I~FA~TRY, X. G. GA.,
By Captain F. 1L amge, 15th U. . Infantry.
Exercise 1\os. I, 4 and,) were executed a number of times and the regim6'llt aloo took part in p.roblem X 0 . 4 and 5.
The ex cution of the exerci e were geuerally properly carried cut. The fir t attempt at 1\0. J, howel-er, in eaeh battalion was not ati factorJ', due mainly to the fact that the general idea was not thoroughly under tood. \\"ith the interest taken by all a decided imp.ro\ement wa noted in each ca e an exercise was repeated.
The general idea. of the purpose of adYance guards (especially' to pre"cnt delay cI march of main body) not at first sufficienly noticed. Attention was called to thi .
The time allowed for work wa not sufficient (10 days) to go thoroughly into all points of the exercise. For the time available the improvement wa a much a could be expected.
W,hile there were many point in drill and exercise not sufficiently dwelt upcn, I con ider the regiment a a whole efficient for field ser"ice und within a hOTt time it would be in excellent condition in all rE pect .
The matter of shces before poken of \l"a the only enous defect noted.
The information obvRiined concerning this regiment was from an inspection of each company (particulllil'ly as to uniform and equipment) and from general observation at drills, exercises and problems, as well as through com'er atio'l with officers and men.
Chance to drill often by battalion and regiment would permit more time at manw"er camp for fllll'ther in truction in field work.

Inspection.
The In paction d the militia was made a required by Section 53, Military Code of Georgia, Major Frederick L. Palmer, Inspector-General, National Guard of Georgia, being detailed to make the inspections both for the Stilte and the United States.
The work of thfl Inspector-General in adjusting property accounts between the State and bonded officers of the troops is of inestimable value. This was the first step towards adjusting the property account of the tate with the General Government. This has been delayed, howe"er, on account of the QuartermasterGeneral being un&1:>le to get the State property account in shape

port to the hariff of Thomas ounty on the morning of May 20th, the date fixed for the execution.
Company "L," 4th Battalion Infanbry, was ordered to report
to the heriff of Sumter County at Andersonville on May 30th to a i t the civil authorities in maintaining peace and order during the FedOO'al Memorial Exercises.
Company "E," 5th Infantry, was ordered to ll'epoTt at Durham Coal Mine , Walke~ County, Georgia, to restore order and disper e rioting miners.
Company "C," 1st Infantry, and Company "E," 4th Battalion Infantry, reported at :Erwinville, Georgia, on June 27th to assist in the arrest and ubsequent pIl'otection of one, W. H. Bostwick, who had blm'icaded hm.c elf and his ehildren in his house and defied anest.
ompanies "B" ,and" F," 2nd Infantry, reported under orders to the Sheriff of JOLes County on Augu t 6th and Company "C,"
2nd Infantry, to the same officer on August 10th to' disperse an
imagina:ry mob and protect two per ons cha.rged with mUJrder.
The Oommanding Officer, hi taff, and Companies "0" and
"G," 4th Battalion Infantry, were ordered out at Columbus on the request of th(l heriff of Mu cogee County December 11th to
13th amd 19th to protect jail from thlreatened destruction by in-
furiated mob, onc of whose m mbel's was killed by the Deputy Sheriff.
In every in bore when the troops have been called upon, they have perfO'l'Dled th ir duty in a manner very Ca'editable both to the
tate and to themselve. In only one in tallce wa it nace ary to resoat to harsh m~a ures, and till was at Thomasville, where the troops were foreeu tc u e the bayonet. aptain Wm. A. Wett and Lieutenant Ja . R. Brown and the men under thC'ir command deserve the highest commendation for the manner in which they handled tbe situ~tjcn.
I deem it my duty to state here that the peace officers of the tate are relying edirely too mucb upon the military to perform the dutie of the office to willch they were elected. They call for the military on the wilde t kind of rumor, without even investigating or calling on the po e comitatus or the eivil power of county. The law provide for a posse comitatus and also states that wben a civil officer has r.ea on to believe that the ordinary po e comitatus, OT civil power of the county, town OT village, is or wonld be un:llJte to promptly uppre or prevent violamons of the laws and the peace of the tate, then such civil officer may all on the military. The militia is willing to :r~spond to any call for it help to maintain peace and order in any community, but

J6

ADJUTANT-GENERAL' REPORT

at the same tim(J each man has hi own bu ine s affairs to look after and can not afford to elo e up hop to pUl1Sue and disperse some mob that exiets only in the excited brain of ome' civil official, as was the e'l e in ninety par cent. of the ca1ls made on the military for a sisLance dming the pI' ent year. orne means hould Ibe pro,'idet1 to fOToo chil offioor to use the power or force provided by law before a call is made for the services of the militia.
I believe that if a law were passed, forcing the counties from which the call came to pay the expenses of the troops when called on, it would greatly I en the number of purely scare call for military as istance. A law of thi kind would bring to the assistance of the civil ofncen the better class of itizens of the county.
it is now, the re pOl] ible citizen of a community take no active interest in preventing the vio],ation of law or breach of the -peace by lawless per ons or gathering, but leave the pace offic~rs entirely at tbe mercy of the lawles element of the commu:nity.
The Needs of the Militia.
1st. The activ~, co-operath'e intere t of the business men of the State is greatly needed, both a to moral and financial suppart. By moral support, we mean their W'illingne s to become a paTt of the nrilita:ry organization of the tate and' their assistance in bring-inC>' into the military er"ice rr,en in their employ. A large number of businlS" men who e su e in their various lines of trade depends on the enfarcement .)f the laws of this tate, object to men in theiT employ entering the miltiary s~l'vice and will not give th-ell' empl~yees a ten day , leave of rubsen e to attend camps of in tructiol' in ,rifl.e JYl'actice and field exercil es. Officers and men haye b3,)11 threatened with the 10 of their positions if they did not sevel theiT connectioJl with the military service. This llIttitude on the pa:rt of men of affair of the State has greatly <retar,ded the ucct;ss of this department of the State government. T,heir help is needel3 to educate the people of the State to the IlI:bsolute lIl'eees ity of maintaining an efficient militia, and also the lIece sity of an al'prop.riation adequate to mee~ its actual ex'penses.
2nd. Armorie liTe needed. The St3Jte does not own an armory; but instead, is willing to payout each year Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000) for a,I'moTy rent, for which neither the tate nor the organization get yallle received, for the Il'eason that the armories rented aTe inaJequate and unsuitable fo.r militaJry purposes.

17
With an approlJriation of $25,000 a yeaT for the con tructiOll of armorie , it would only be a hort time until e\'ery organization in the tate would ha\-e anlple and uitable quarters. This could be aJrrange-l ill uch a way that the outlay for aJrmorie would soon b comp. a sou'l'ce of ,rC\'anue to the tate. entrally located property could be curoo in the town where companies are located. and a hou e built 0 that the fir t, or ground, floor could be u ed. for mercantile or city purpo c. The r nt from thi source would mora tthan pay the incidental expen of the build ing and the snrplm ould be turned into the tate 'r,reasU'ry.
The tate A.rsenal i insecure inadequate and Ull uitable; part of the ba ement of the tate 'apitol bing u ed a. the Ar nal, and it is not lllt all uitable fOO" thi purpo e. The moi ture cau e the property tared ,therein to deca~. The windows are of gla wit'h no other protection, sue'll as iron bar or in ide hutter , to prevent <>asy acce . The door are mad .)f light material and can be e;,.sily sma hed with the hand. There is llothing to pre\'ent anyone 0 di po ed from eLtering the Ar eIUl.l at will and caTTying off quantities of supplies for which the tate ireepon ible to the Udted State. There is nece arily kept in the State Ar enal bE'1.ween 50.000 and 100,000 worth of military property, and oIDe mea UTe hould be adopted to protect this prop ty fro~ lo~ by decay and po ible theft.
3Id. 'Dhere should be provided for the Adjutant-General's and QUaJrte:rJlUl t~r-Gene:ral' D paJrtment a chief clerk and one additional stenographer. The increase in ilie work of this de paTtment, nece sitated by both tate and United tat requirements, makes it nec ary that clerical assi tance be furnished'.
4th. Under the present conditions confronting the milil7ia and the attitude of lite UnitC'd tate gO\'ernment toward it, the po ition of AdjutantGroJeral hould be eontinuou and he should hold office the arne lJ~ other officel' of the militia, \'i7..: for life, or 'good behavior, up to sixty yeaTS of ag , being r moved only for cause. It is imlJo~~ible for anyone no matter how well educated along military line, to learn the duties of the Adjutant-General of the tate in Ie thau two yea'l' ; and ju t when be i becoming of most value to the organization hi term of office expires. If he knew that his term of office depended upon hi efficiency in office, he would bE'tter prepare bim elf for the efficient disclul.rge of his duties; and the more efficient tbe Adjutant-General, the more efficient a,'e the troops under him. It bould al 0 be taken into cOIl.S\ideratiou that in ca e of "\\'ar, it i tbe ~'oung men of Georgia who will 'rE' pond to a call of tbe United tates, and lIpon the previous trainiLg of the e men will depend not only their

ADJUTA~T-G E2\I::RAL' .. REP HI'
efficiency in the art of war but al 0 their own phy ical welfare ,,-hile in acti,e er,ice.
The lack of proper training of the militia under the plan heretofore and now in cperation ,,-a most emphatically demonstrated wh n a call ror t:oop wa made for the Vi"lIJr with pain. ~t an organization in the tute wa prep3.ll"ed to go into active ervice; and thi will continue to be the condition a long as there is no fixed policy of trai:dng the troops, and there can be no fixed policy until the djut'lnt-General i placed cn the S<'Ime plane as other officers of the m.iJitia.
In funther con iceration of thi matter your attention i in,-:ited to the following extn-act from the Report of the Chief of the Divi ion of MiliHl Affair to the hief of tuff of the United
tates Army, dateii October, 1910:
" ince each tate ha it own law in re ard to militia affair and particularly a to bhe appointment and prerogativ of it Adjutant-General, it will be undcrstood that bhere are almost a many condition iu re pect to military efficiency as t!here are
tate and Territorie . each et of condition yield it own distinctive re uIt. In tho e tate and Territorie in which Adjutan -General are elected on account of their military capacity and experience and tmeir pecial qualification a able executives. in wmch politics are wholly eliminated from militia admini tration and legi lation, and in which tate Legi lature give rea onable financial l;pport ore ult of a ati factory nature are attained. In tho e tates in which Adjutant -General are elected for their political .rather thau military quali:fications, and in Wlbidh the position i used for the promotion of political advantage Il"ather than for promotion of military e .. ciency, the re ults achieved are mo t un atisfactory, and must nece arily alway be o. Between the e two ex reme are found many varying gradation of mixture of politic witili eriou military effort and, in accordance with uch goradation , com'e ponding varia ion of military efficiency.
"Unle s it hall be po ible in orne tate and Territorie to change the ba ic condition on which depend mitary efficiency in uch a way a to have Adjutants-General elected on account of their military quali:fications, their executive capacity, and busine en e; unle politics can be ab olutay eliminated from the field; un]e Governors of tate and Territories will fully upport Adjutants-General in their efforts to produce real military efficiency, and unle s Legi lature will make rea; onable appwp.riation for the upport of the military e tablisbment in the tute and

serviceable property believed to be st:ill on hand in the Arsenal, but ,have been unable to do 0 as such aoction was not Il'equested nor prep3ll'ed for by the QUMtermaster-General. For similar reasons no pregr ha been nmde in ascertaining what, if any, sho.rtage exist in the U. . property uppo ed to be on J1a.nd in the
tate. A a practically complete and accurate cheek was made of all property in the care of organizations at the Annual Inspection, and a pratically all pa t hortage were then settled for, and as thi informa,tion wa furni hed the QUMtermaster-General as obtained, it would appear that this could have been -ascertained without any gu' at hard hip in the way of extra labor placed UpOOl the Quarrterma terGeneral. And tit j regall'ded a a matter of the utmost importance both to the tate and to the United bates that the Annual RetUll'n of the propertJ~ on hand hould ,be accu rate and COll'l'ect. 'While the Quartermast-er-General is undo~bted ly greatly hampered by la k of nfficient clerical force and by having no competent Arml>rer to keep account of th property in the Ar enal at all times, it i beli ved that even under pre ent conditions it bould be po ible to obtain an accurate accounting of the property l>nce a year at least, and the nece ity for so doing is deemed of pMamount importance.
Except as to the CIl'itici m above noted, it is believed that the work of the National Guard for the past year has been a progressive improvement, gen rally excellent, {lDd hiighly creditable to both officers 'and men as well as to the State ittself. A.n.d in no other way has the atisfactory 'Condition O'f the ational ~uard. been hown mo.re conclu ively than by tho uniformly excellent and creditable manner in which the organizat:ion called upon !have perfarmed the riot duty which has fallen to their lot, an unusually large amount of which has occurred during the year.
Recommendations.
In my oplnlon the following addJitional force is absolutely nece saiTY to a proper condu t of the General taff offices:-
For the Adjuoo.ntGene;ral-one Chief clel'k, who could al 0 upervise the clerical wark of the In pector-General's office.
For the Qua:rtermaster-General-one Chief 'clark who could relieve the Quarterma te.r-General of all ~'outine cl6iI'ical WO'l'k and free him for the up6ll'vi' on of his dt!partment which is his proper function.
Al 0, one All'morar, to be in charge of the Arsenal, supervise all iJ'ooeipts and i sue, diiJ'ect and upervise repair and presarv1ltion of property, and keep accurate account of all 5upplie in the Arsenal a t all times.

.ADJUTXNT-GEXER.\L '.' REPORT

I also recommend tihat th. obal amounts of all U. . property aetually on hand in the tate be ascertained as accurately .a6 po . sible, and that any ho.rtages found be adju ted as promptly a means will permit. To bhis end all un erdcea'ble property shoul,! be sU'l'veyed and dispo ed of, for the add,j,tional lIell.Son that the
pace it oecupies in the Msenal is badly needed for servieeable property and its care.
The most efficacious means yet discovelIed for procuring genoeral attention to orders and Regulation, proper care of prop oerty, .and gen6lIal improvement in eficieney along all line is, in my opin'ion, the y tern of grading all organi2iation at the Annual In I eetion arid upon the work of the whole of the pa t calendar year. I therefore recommend that this be continued in for 'e, and <tIhat it be extended <to include a Y' tem of Efficiency Card , one fOlI each 00=;' ioned officer, to be kept 'by, and at the office of, the Adjutant-General. Each =d hould, for ,the pa.st, how a brief military history, grndes of Il'ank held, and speeial duties pMformed; for the future, simililr data should be noted and all further a,ets affecting quality and quantity of duty perfOTmed (attendanee a.t drills, etc., at home station each year, attendance o.r ab ence at caIDlp , schools of instruction, etc., percentages made at eXJaIIl'ination , lIeferences to letters of commendation or admonition i ued by ,the GovernOlI or General taff, eritici m or commendations of In pect'Or-General a to the officer m his commamd, etc.), such eard would fOJ'm an exeellent guide fo.r the.

Report.
Owing to the fact that under the regulations established in your office, there has been no brigade admini tration during the year 1910, except during the maneuvers which took place at hick~ mauga in the summer of that year, there have been no operations of tJhat organization as such during that period, except when it participated in the maneuvers referred to.
A eparate i1'eport a to these maneuver has already been filed in your office by me and I horeby refer to it for the information w'hi h it contains.
Recommendations.
While I recognize that brigade admini Iration i impracticable owing to the expense which would be attached to it, I Tecomm nd that an OO'Ider be i sued from your office requiring the >com manding officers of the several orgQnization comprising the Fir t Brigade ~nd the organization attached to that Brigade to fOTward copie of all general orders to my !headquarters for information, .and that a partial brigade a.dministration be embUshed to th extent tnat, except ~n case of emergencies, 13.11 oroer for he Illoycment of troop be i ued hr ugh my headquart r , under ill tructions from your office.

In field maneuver, while til officer' and men w re mol' than willing to perioo-m all the duti whieh they were lied upon to perform, I did not ob rve any very marked improvement over their work of two yeMs preceding, llllrgely due, I believe, to the fact that the pereonnel of the seve'l'al eommands lhad in the meantime greatly 'Changed. '.rhere was, h~wever, a mo t mMked improv ment made by all the e OIl"ganizaJtions in their field work between the time of their arrival at the camp of instruc ion and the tim of th ir d parture. The eha'l'acter of in truction given th m by -th ommander of the camp, through the everal offic detailed for that purpo ,wa mo t excellent and wa mo t valuabl to the officer and men rec ivin the arne, and could w but maintain the'P onnel of the organi:r.ation un hanged foo- a reaonable length of time, these camp of in tl'uc:tion would prove of very much grOOJter value to the ational uard than i the c P under en ting condition .
neral Mill the officer of the veral aTm of the United tate Army participating in the maneuver, and the umpire a igned for duty during the maneuvers were uniformly ourleous aud 'onsiderate of th officer and men Qtta hed to my Brigade, and exoerted themselv in every possible way to render the tour f duty both in tructive and inter ting. The general program o in u Hon wa exc J] nt and wa executed in a mann6'l' in eve-ry way thOll"oughly commendable.
Tenerally speakin , t'be effi iency of he ~ ational Guard of or ia ha advanced in a mo t marked degree during the past four r five YCM' until the organization ha reached a point \Vh re I bellev that it would b able to do valuabl ervice in h vent't wa call d upon for actual rvice in bEfualf of it c uutr,v: but there is much 'I'oom for improvement yet, which it 11l<; to me can only be met by orne chan e of policy on behalf bo h of the nit d tat Governmen and of the tate of orgin in dealing with the ituation.

of th nited tates for legislation which will provide for nt and continuous pay to h officem and men of

which will have for it pUrp<! e the securing of legi lation along this line.
One of the things which it e ms to me the National GU3lrd of GeOll"gWl. is mo t in need of i the e . tence of a permanent and properly con bructed a.rmory for each of the organization, both for ~he purpo e of providing a m an of pre erving the axms, accoutlrem nts and other prop rty h ld by the e eral organization and of providing a place where the organization can b brought together under circum ance which will incr e the interest of the officer and men and improv their eneml efficiency. There wa a noticeable difference in the work of those organization which ar now provided with good armory facilitie in tlhis tate and those which are not. Till diff ence i 'paJI'tly attributable to other thing than the lack of armQri , but I b lieve that the lack of armory facHitie contribute yery largely toward making the compari 011 unfa'orabl. I beli y i i the tate' du y to up ply prop r armory faciHtie to all the organization comprising th 'ational Guard ,,'lhieh are n t already provided til r with, and I recommend that teps be tak 11 looking towards the education of our General A embly to the nece' ity foo: legi lation along this line.

The or anization left h me tat ion and proc d d to camp in accordance with R !rimental 'norol rd r Xo. 6 (c. .), copy of which i attached.
The mov ment was made in all T P t in accordance with this order exe pt that the c.hedule of the cond ection wa changed o that thi tion !Tan a cond ection of the entrel of Georgia Railway' regulu train leaving Macon at 4:50 P. M.

After the fir t day's exercises permi ion wa obtained to finish the ntir clJedule in the mornin befor '1'etll'rning to camp giving the men a rest until Tetireat.
Th improvement in the Regiment with ;reference to the instruction both of officers .and of men since the last maneuver camp was very noticeable and very gratifyin .
I regret to ay that the guard duty "W'as very poorly perfo.rmed. Improvem ut in thi rega:rd ha not in any way kept up with improvement in other.r pt.

the ('am] f in truction ancl tho in c'hargo of all the taff De prurtml'nt wcre willing and rcad~' to h lp th militiamen in every way, and labor d untiringly to that end.
The camp was located upon new ground. 1lhere had. been much rain prior to the coming of the Regiment and the lower end of th camp it \Va damp and muddy. In anticipation of more rain con iderable ditching had to be done. It \ a found that thi i hard ervice to get out of militiamen who are away upon their Yacations, and it W>llS only by constantly ke ping at them that anything wa accomplished in this line. Th water que tion i till un olved at hickamauga. In my opinioIj there i too much ri k in nding raw troop to a camp where for thein' own afet)' it i n c ry to tlliat all w'{\t~ i boil d befor drinkin. orne pr "i ion hould b made to furni h good water to the roops. I ha.vl' in truct d tb mgeon to not wh th T any c.aee of typboid f v r d v lop ::unon tb m n of th :Regiment after reo turn to tb ir home tation, and report to m . Th work a.t camp \Va not too hard. I think that it i a mi take to haY sny ex rei for the men in th aft moon. The act tha thi time in camp i. the only
vacation mo. t of them get lIould b borne in mind in making up
the chedul, and the chedule hould be 0 arrang d that men may have an opportunity to tak orne recreation in the rafternoon.
The eh dule of exerci in thi camp as originally planned
conte:mpl8Jted afternoon exerci e but a b fore stated, after the first day's exerci e, arrangement were made to complete the whol hedule during the morning and thi>S worked very sati fac
torily, and I think that in .a]] other camps the e a.rrangements should be made fr~m the beginning.

...\DJ "l'ANT-GE~ERAL" REP RT
I a rn fixed in my opinion that thi i ih be t plan from my exv i nee both in thi camp and in the camp at t. imons last yea.r.
I thought tbat tbe wOTk for the I t day w too much fur ;raw troop, including tbe problem in he morning, breaking camp, loading baggage and policing amp in the afternoon, going into bivouac for the nigbt and executin a problem at dawn tih next mornin and then traveling borne in day coache tbat afternoon.
It "'ould have been better if one of tb problems had been worked out on onday in t d of Tu day.
The iI'iginal cbedul required thL R( imeut to begin loading baggage at 6 0 clo k an,l lea\' camp for bi\'ona at .
Thi would have made it ner . So'lry to polir the camp in th nigbt.
pon my ug tion a chang W:J mail which enabled the Re~ iment to l){~gin loading baggage at 2 0 'cl k.
A tb IO:lding wa not compl W on a count of the wagons being ngaged until after 5 0 'clock, the policin of the camp had to b done bnil'riedly and wa n entirely ti factory to the Reg imental ommander thougb I f It tllat it w the b t that could be done tinder the ci'l'cumstanc .
Th di cipline of th command wa excell nt th.roughout. Th men took an unw nted p:ride in th record of the O'I'ganiza tion and .alm t withou exe ption obeyed ord I' cheerfully and oug'ht to I' flect credit upon the R giment. I had p:reviou ly mted that I would d ignate the ompany which in my opinion made the b t record in camp. I find that this i hard to do and regret tbat promi e. However, I think that {)mpollny F all thing con idmed, made th b t howing, though other companie did oalmost, if not fully a well. On the whole bhe manner in which the Regiment did i work durin thi tour of duty was very gratifying to me. I ba\'e her tofOTe b n omewbat p imi tic with re~ard to the qu tion a to whethe-r militia could ever be made really efficient a a fightinl! fOTCIi'. Tb gre. t improY m nt not in this camp over that of previous y all' inclin me to the opinion that ware T ally making progr towa.rd th point where the ational Gua:rd may be really relied upon in an. em rgency. I deshe to call attention to th fact that the Regiment is not fully equipped fOT field e:rvice. It h no fir t aid packages, and no intrenching tools.
ertainly tlle latter hould be upplied before the next m.a.neuver

camp if the men are to become familiar with th duties they would be expected to perform in ervice.
I 301 0 call <llttention to the fact that the want of cot was very painfully felt in thi camp.
The ground under the tent was we when the R uiment arrived and the m n were forced to 161'1' on bed ack only partially filled with straw in tJhe mud and w t to their great di comfort and to the peril of their health.
I recommend that no troop be sent into camp hereafter with out cots.
I de i.r to l.j)r . my opinion that Paragraph 3, Gan ral Ord r 1 o. 6 A. G. O. June 4, ]910 i an e 'cellent regulation.
om of the compani bad ollle difficulty in canying the reo quired 3 men but I believe that thi wa due to the fact that their officers had not fully realized that this regulation would be strictly enforced.
I recommend that it be enforced with regard to all snbsequent camp and that notice be given at thi time that in the future no company will be allowed to go to any camp without thirtyeight men with three month prior ervice.

to the fact t!hat thek work wa of a eharaeter that appealed to them, espeeially, as it encouraged individuality and intelligence. I am trongly of the belief that the program arran.ged for this tour of duty was an excellent one, and one 1Jhat will result in much good to the <Regiment.
While all of the available time of the enlisted men wa not occupied, neM'ly all of the time of ilie officers was taken up by duty and study. The officers appreciate thoroughly the prime im portance of tudy, and the faet that without it there can be no kill in tacties, no -proper use of men and arms in the field, and a a con equenee they are better able to promote the effieieney of the R iment,
One fact brought out clearly i the nece sity of all ubordinate offieer being thoroughly acquainted with the intention and plan of the commander, if ihe wishes their intelligent eo-operation, fo.r after a fight has begun or op rations tMted eommunication and eontrol beeomes very diffieult or impo ible, owing to the wide dispersion of ,the command.

of thi Regiment .reached the Park rom 1 to 4 P. M. July 11th and immediately pitched camp.
The total brength upon reachin camp wa 39 officers and 4 1 men. The Band and Hospital Clnps wall present with full strength.
.iJl of the exercises a pr cribed by the camp of instruction were trictly complied with by this ommand.
The exercise which was most beneficial was that of the direct attack of an entrenched position, and full instruction was reo ceived in tihe lat t method of advancing by rushes. This Com mand has a more or I complete conception of this late method and the C3iIllp on this account, if for no other reason, was a com plete ucce . In the manoeuvre which consi ted of an attack a Alexander's Bridge, Hunter' Battalion formed a portion of the ;rear guard and ompanie C and D upport for the Battery; the balance of the Regiment was in reserves and did not get into the fight.
In the attack on Snodgras Hill, on the morning of July 20th this Regiment was a part of the Red AJrmy, and bivouaced at night neM Cody House, and reported in the morning at 2:~ ready to take its position in the reserve but, owing to the delay in the arrival of some of the other organizations, was ordered to the extreme left of the line and opened the attack upon the South ea t rn pur of nodgra Hill, as instructed by the 'mmander. The eXAct instIuctions and ollders regllirding thi were brictly com plied with.
Tille health of the Oommand was good, and no member wa in the hospital for any con ideraible period. The Band was a great feature of the encampment, and it is ,hoped that the tate will continue its liberality regarding the Band, as it moves a great deal towards the spirit of the men while doing the hard work of such camp.

Owing to the fact that the Troops composing the quadron are located in different portions of the tato the in bruction has nec

Complying with A. G. O. '0. 1 ten officers attended the Officer

The h alth conduct and disciplin of the men of thi command on this tour of duty wa all that could be' asked. fOT, and I con sider thi Camp of Instruction the mo t beneficial that the com mand has ever attended, which was la.:r ely due to the untiring eff01't , cOUll'te y and intere t shown by Captain Winter.
There wa a tilting conte t held in the City of avannah during the mOD h of .r oV6lIlber in which a team from . Troop and L. 'l'roop of the Georgia Cavalry and one team from the 11th U. :'. 'avalry competed Troop A. of avannah winning fir prize of
250.00; Troop L. of A.tlanta winning econd prize of 150.00' and the team from the 11th U. . Cavalry coming third. The regular cavalry officer are very 6nthu iastic over tilting and the prob ability i that they will have many team in competition with the
ational Guard Cavclry in the futme. Ta.:rget practice ha received con iderable attention from thi command during the past yea:r, but on account of lack of target Il'ange facilities for some of the commands they could not be expected to make the pl'ogres that would have re ulted had the proper ran facilitie been available. Troop L. de erv pecial mention for record made during the past ea on their records showing 2 expert riflemen, 9 marksmen, 4:fir clas, 6 econd cIa ,4 third elass, 14 fourth cIa and one expert pistol not with a figure of merit of 109.85.

Recommendations.
'.Dbat orne provi ion be made to forage the mounts of the avalry of tbi tate and it i believed that if this is done tlbat the majority of th men compo ing the aval.ry force of the State will own their own mount and I believe tlbat the Georgia Cavalry could at '<In early date be well mounted and !I'eady for service a avalry Troop at a moment's notice.

That the tate contribute to the expense of holding tilting cont annually, which I believe will create great inter t in the

5.

That the Cav,alry of this tate be upplied at the arli t po ible moment with revolver ; in ea e we are called on for riot duty mounted troops will be eriously handicapped without the use of tihis arm, it will also timulllite the inter t now shown in target practice giving the use of an additional arm.

The Ol'ps also took part in the UD ral ceremonie of LieutenaDt,Colonel W. S. Basing r, in :pril, 19] 0, ptain J. G. Jarrell, in eptember, 1910, aDd Private John tor r, in D cember, 1910.
Colonel iBasinger was an fficer of th orp everal years prior to the Civil War and became it ommanding Officer iu 1 63, continuing; to erve in t1hat capacity to the end of the War and thereafter until 1 2; being in command at the battle of
ailor' Oreek, where Mty-two officers and men were killed and wounded out of a total of eighty-five eDga ed. His interest iu the organization continued until hi death, alway availing himself of every opportunity to render any a i tance in its upbuilding.
In the death of Captain J. G. Jarrell urgeon, thi Corp and the ervice at large su tained a eriou 10 . He was a capable and efficient phy ician and oldier. While firm and true to every conviction and in the di chM"ge of evory duty, he was yet kind, considorate and gentle toward his fellow oldiers, irJ"e pective of their ronk, and ea ily acquix d and held tfue r pect and e teem of tho e who e privilege it wa to know him. It i a very common aying that any man's place can. be filled. but I am contrained to believe that in this instance we are confronted with the exc ption which proves the rule.
Private t()ll'er was young in ye3lT and youn iD the ervice, b in only twenty year of a e but had ucce d d in demontrating in Ihi hort career that he p _ ed tho qualitie of manllOod which would have oon brought him 0 appropriat r('co<>,nition in civil aDd military affairs.

!l:;

Ba ing my conclu ion upon my own experi nee, and upon he opinions expres d by the Officer of the rmy who were charged with Olll" braining I am quite \lIl'e that greater progr 'i as made hy our officers and men in thi encampment than on any obher occasion. 11 were e3lI'nest and enthnsia tic in the discharge of every duty, including tho e which illre u ually deemed unpleasant, and we were greatly encouraged hy the many kind and compli mental'Y word which came to u from the officers under whom we served. 'Dbeir;r por peak for themselve and I have here ofOO'e ubmitt d to you a special l'eport covering thi tour of duty.
a oon we can ohtain the dummy armament and other equipment upon wbich we can have practical drill in artillery, we will be nabled to do all preliminaxy work at our home station and prepare our elve for target practice and battle exercis ,so that when w 0 to Fort reven we can immediately be in that work without the n ce ity of pending the greater portion of our time there in preparation for it.
On ovember 11 vb. and 12th 1910, thi Corp as i ted other avannah or anh.ation volunt ering for the ervice, in patrolling about fift n mile of County Roads and in preventing bhe use hereof by the public, under and in pur uance of Orders i ued by the Governor upon tbe reque t of the heriff of hatham ounty Ga. ven mile were covered by thi ommand and thi territory was patrolled and protected a ol'dered and without iuci dent. Thi duty wa arduous becau e of the long hour on po t without !l'elief, but wa performed with good cheer and efi' cthT Iy.

Recommendations.

It is very de hable and advi able in my judgment that an

Officer of the oa t Atrtillery 'orps,

. he a i ned to duty

with our Corp a In tructOO' in Ttillery. Officer and men are

not only willing but anxiou to de...-ote to e tudy of the variou

ubjec as much time a may be nece ary to enable them a

acquire a much a p 'ble of tbe knowledge whieb they hould

po e . W'e JIave not heretofore made application for the detail

of an In tructor for the rea on that we hoped ve:ry oon to re-

ceive the dummy armallent and otber equipment 0 tl1at w coulli

be in tructed practically a well a theoretically' but a ih e i

now no certainty as to when 1fui equipment will be l' cei...-ed a!'

that i~ will be received at all, we conclude that it will b wi c to

have an Officer in truct u in theory at the home tation and do

he best we can a to practical work a often a we can go to

Fort even.

DJ TANT- E TEBAL REPOBT
We tru t that the Congre of the United tate can be illduced to make the appropriation nece ary to furni h u with til des:ilred artillery equipment. It mean much to our organization and to the government, for, with the e facilities, the intere t and entiliu iasm of the men can be maintained at a high point it woultl result in greatly increa ing tJhe number of men in the organiza tion and would also enable u to be prepa'led for immediat ll~' fuln s to the government in time of need.
In condu ion, I re pectfully sug e t and recommend that no eritici m or comment of any Inspecting or other Officer touchill~ the loyalty, honor or int grity of an organization, or the 'Per nn I thereof, be promulgated in Order or otherwise, without fir t gi \ ing uCb or anization or tho individuals eoncerned an opportunit~ to be heard.

'''hO'l" ha been mo t CT ditable improvement in the p(r sonn I and almini tration of thi HeadquartO'l"s during pat year, due, it is believed, to an increa ing lI'ealization of the fact that loyalty to the organization i not incompatible with loyalty l!nd subordination to the tate authoritie. It i therefor believed and expected that th re will be continued improvement."
In corre pondence thrOIl h mHitary hanneIs, the In pectorGen. eral advised that thi expr ion of hi belief wa intended a & complim nt, and we are gratified to 1 arn of hi good int ntion, but incer.ely II' ret hat tho words employed did not convey uch intention.

Meals.
Meals fUl'nished were very poor. The differenee in the eost of good coffee .and poor coffee is very little, and the coffee furnished was so weak that it was almost unfit to dJrink.
Course of tudy wa in general good, too mueh time was devoted to the manual of a1mS and company in close order.
The importance of the WOl1'k in the a:temoons ean not be sUre d too trongly. 'Dhe tactieal walks were very interesting and profitable, llnd the 'plain practiea.l way in whie-h our inetn'uetors taught the principles of seemity and infOO."Illntion is deserving of he bighe t commendation. 'Would recommend that a Regimental Commis sry with two battalion Q. M. COmBy. 118 assistant be directed to can for thi WOl1'k in futUl'e sehools, going on duty two day in advance of the opening.
The morning hoUl'S of study hould be lI'educed on&-half hom ther by allowing one hoW' and a half for dinner. The hour for study mom to 9 o'elock P. M. was unwise in my opinion. Very little wa aeeompli hed, after tudying morning and afternoon the officer hould JJave tJhe evening free.
Would Ifeeommend that a urgeon be Oli duty at the next hool of In tll'uction. That -at the morning in tructione field officers constitute one da ,and that officers failing to attend School of In bructions be 'fequired to take a correspondence COUl'se.

All the companies of tlhe 2nd Battalion are in different towns, and it is n{)t possible to assemble that Batwlion except in camp. The in fuuction of this Regiment, therefore, must n.ece airily be committed larg ly to the Company Commander .
It was a source of much gratification to the writer that the Regiment wa a embled in aVlannah 'on bhe oc asion of tlhe unv,eilino- of the monument to GeneTal Oglethorpe, the founder of thi olony, on ovember 23rd, 1910.

Jt "I\'a found that many of the officer could not leave their bu ine at this time of the year.
I 1) li ve that the idea of bh Officer 11001 i a good one and that mOTe prac'tical benefit to the ational Guard will reuH from thO chool, if continued, than from any other sourClC. However, it rnu t be bOO'ne in mind that tlh.e officers are able to gi"e only a certain amount of time per year :l.way from their busine to military matters. Many of them take their vacations eith I' in camp OT in scIhool.
It R m to me that it will be necessary to decide which is the
mol' b neficial, a roUT of duty in camp, or a. tour of duty in a
chool of instlructi{)n.

J TANT- E_ EBAL REP RT

I do not believe tbat it will be practicable for any onsiderable numbelr of the officer to go into camp and to go into an Officers' cbool in the . me summer.
I believe that if a CorIC pondence chool could be in tituted and the officer comp lied to take an int r t therein, the advantages of the Officers' chool might be ecured without actually a embling the officer in camp for that purpo e.
If the Officer' chool are to be continu d, I recommend tha some effort be made to adopt th chedule to th actual n ed of the offic r participating. 'To thi end it will b nec aTy to grade the officer. I think th time pent upon Infantry Drill R gulations and :Manual of Guard Duty \Va wa ted.
If our officer can not get in truction in the matter at their home tation, I do not think that any benefit can be derived by putting uch officer into a chool of In truction at t\be eX'pcn e of the Government.

Active Service.
Companies Band F, under the command of the 'olonel of the Regiment, went to (kay on August 5th, and reported there to the
heriff of Jonea County. They returned to home station August 6th. ComP.llny C, under command of Captain ~hurman, proceeded to Gray August lOth, returning the same day.
eparate r ports of these tours of duty were made immediately aftllr the conclusion thereof.

General Remarks.
Th Regiment now consi ts of the Band, twelve companie and the Ho pital orps attached the;reto.
The full quota of the companies of the Regiment was made up by the transfer to it from the 'Dbird Battalion of Companies H I and K, transferred to thi Regiment a Companies D, I and K r pe tively.
'11h dautant of thiRegiment has been very ill during the entire fall. !His illn wa of sucb a uddelli and unexpected character that up to this time, it 'ha been im'PO ible for ,him even to tmn over the records of his office to the A-cting Adjutant.
'I'll Quarterma tea' was injured in servi at Cbickamauga, and ba t ndered Ibis re ignation.

Recommendations.
Th r commendation that provi ion be made for a sembling the Regimenb at tbe station of one of the companies at lea t twice a year, be idea tbe time in ca~, i .renewed.
In my opinion the people who upport tbe J: ation111 Guard ought to be given an opportunity to see it in its dre s uniform. A hang from the kbaki is acceptable to the men also, and tenus to timulate their pride in their organization.
The problem of ecuring efficient offi ex grows more and mor eriou in my opinion. It is extremely bard to induce older m n to continue in the e.rvic. A tihey b ome more competent, they be orne more bu y and more prone to retire or Te ign.
'I'll y do not receive the encouragement which th y have a right to xpect, from tbeir employers. omething should be done to impre npon the bu ine s men tbe nee ity for an efficient militia.
It i with ome he itation that I speak of what I believe to be the principal difficulty in tbe way of maintaining a ational Guard of tfbe highest efficiency in the tate of Georgia.

~J TA:r\T- E.r ERAL REPORT

It i my ()pimon that the law with reference to the u of the militia in civil di ()order n ds amendnlent.
I believe that it is the int ntion of OUI' on titution and Law that the civil authOTity should alway be uperior to the military. It wa evidently th intention of the framar of our laws that the militia hould only be u ed hen a Tesart .had 'been had to the po e comitatu and thO had pro, d incapabl of dealing with the situation.
However, our Military ode i 0 framed that any eriff, Ju(}ge of the up rior or City ow-t, Ordinary of the ounty or Mayor of an incorporated city, without calling upon the Governor, lJIay OTder the militia of hi station into ervice.
When ~o ()rdered into ervic, the re ponsibility of determining what force is needed is placec] upon tL military officer.
o it JIll. orne to pa that civil offic r, ither on 1\ count of the fact that enf()rcement of the law is for th time bing \Dlpopular, or becau e they do not wi h to tak upon th m lve the re pon ibility of re orting to xtr m measure Rife inclined to call the militia into erdce and turn O\'er the entir r pon ibility of dealing with an unpl ant ituation to th miJitlllrY officer without any att mpt whatev r having be n mad to a e.mble the po e comitatu , or othenvise to execute the law with the force at the command of the civil officer.
After much thought, I have onc1uded in my own mind that the law' hould be amend d either to provid that the ationlll Guard hould not b called into rvice in :tid of tbe civil autb()rity unle s th Governor i willing to dec]3Jr martial Jaw, or to provide that the uard hould not b called into ervice until the civil officer ha actually ummoned tll po e comibatus and the am ha prov n inadequate to control the ituation.
In he latter vent. I think it hould b di tinctly provided that all r pon ibility should r t upon th civil officer, and th:lt it should b under tood that the callin out of tbe Guard i it elf a resOTt to extIreme mea ur ~nd that upon being 0 called 0Ui:, the Guard shall have no 0 her alternative than to u e extreme fOTce, the re pon ibility re ting upon the civil offic r. If ome such provision {IS the e were inc()rporatC'd into the ooe there would be an end of the feeling in the mind of officer -and men in the Guard that they are liable to be called upon at 'liny time to perfo!"Ill police duty which their OW11 C'ivil officer ar unwill ing to perform. and their adoption would al. prey nt the practice of calling upon the .'ational liard to do that which the ei"il. officer i unwilling to take the rE' pon ihility of doing.

I believe that the mi ion of the ~-ational Guard i one of de f n'p of our eounllry, of oUll' tate, and of our institutions, and that omething ought to be done to encourage young men to enIi t in it, and I know of nothing which will encourage them more than to let them understand that they will only be called into

tion as can reason3lbly be expected under the circumstances anil great credit i due fCYI that condinon to the untiring efforts in t,hat behalf on the part of Lieut. Joerg, Police Officer.
Officer Call wa ounded every day at 10:00 A. M. and all officers assembl d at m:' tent at that time for the pU11>0 e of receiving such critici m a I deem d proper to make or such other orders which were not of impoItance enough to make them of ll'ecCYId.
After the second day it wa deemen advi a.bl by 'apt. HugueJ; a weJI a my If to utilize th econd hour of th morning drill by having- anoth r battalion drill. tim. having at J a t two hOlm; of battalion drill a day.
The progre made by officer and men in their drill and their improvement was V&y apparent from day to day. During the eompMatively short tell'm of the encampment, only foWl' full days being at om dispo aI, we were enabled to take the roug!h edges ou the officers and m n a fax a drill and di cipline was can cerned. Anot1lell' week or ix days would have enabled us to put orne fin' hing touche to the command which, I believe was ur gently wi hed for by officers and men alike. I believe I am safe in stating that the retmns the tate would have received by a more protract d encampment would have been mOTe than double the ajmount of money involved. Afl it was, I am of the opinion tJhat t1le greate t b nefit derived from OUr last enca.mpment was not so much in the training- of the meu but.in the training of the offiem-. 'rhi, aining- of the officer ir. which I include my elf, i du ntirely to the m energeti.. tematic and intelligent effort on th part of apt. ~6,. H. Huguet, 17th Infantry, in truc too" and in pector and I take thi opportunity of expres ing my :tnil ll1~r offic!'r, ' appreeiation of the work don by thi officer.
Discipline.
The discipline of the command a a whole, was gool!. I beg to point out that nearly 60% of t1le men who attended this encampment w r men with little more than three month service and
0% of the command who nevell' before had attended 8Jl encamp ment. It can carcely b expected of a command of so raw a na.tun-e the di cipline a i found in older organizations. He:e again my statement made above a Tegaxd the vcry '!hort term of the last encampment, holds good. The time was too short to demonstrate to the men that ju tice can go JIand in hand with lIrietne . It i the officer who can demon trate this to his men who will be Tewa.rded with the greatest amount of loyalty.

Recommendations.
It recommended that whenever Nat!. Guard '!'roops Me sent into camp at a regular Army Post, permissiolll be procured from the 'ommanding Officer of that Post to employ .Axmy cooks intead of negroes. '.Dbill will enable the men who are now carried on th rolls as cooks to lea!l'n the .&rmy Ration, bhe handling of allie, and it will al 0 insure a aving to the tate in tlhe matter of tran poo-t-ation. Th e Mmy ook hould be paid $2.00 a day by tho companies out of tbeir fund and it i believed that, provided the necessary permission can be obtained, plenty of Cooks can be found in Regular Garrisons who would be anxious to make thi extra money. In addition to tho maoy advantage which tho ompany and tat would gain in th mployment of Regular MillY 'ook, the employment of arne would in uro the prompt erYing of meal w.hi h at tho pr ent time and with the present help employed seem impo sibl .
It i al 0 recommended that orne provision be made by the ate to i ue men of the aU. Guard proper shoe. ::il 0 amount of order by the Commanding Officer will ever prevent the men from w arin improper shoe. &1 of the men who went to camp wel'e again attired in hoes ab olutely worthless fo.r the purpose, e pecially low cut shoes were prevalent which caused many men to b foot oo-e before the ex:piration of the second day. Shoes aTe paat of tJhe uniform and more nece ary l1han the blouse. It i al 0 !l'ecommended that future ncampments at Fort Screven be held not later tban fay of each year. Drilling hwrd in day timo and fighting mosquitoe and and flies at night is beyond the limit of human endurance.
General.
The health of the command was very good, only one case of ickne of serious nature coming to my knowledge. '1'his man, uffering of fever, was sent home. The attitude of the Po t ommander and his officers was at all time kind courteou and provident. The Band was furniflhed thi battalion fOO' Parad and uard Mount every day with exc ption of :'fonday. On date of leaving I called, together with all offic r of th Battalion, on the Po t Commander and also expre 'ed my gratitude in an official letter to the Post Adjutant before leaYing. I can not but reiterate my fum conviction that encampments of :ratl. Guard '!'roops at Army Posts aTe attended with far greater succe s in the matter of training of the men and subordinat officers than the 18Il'ge encampments at Chickamauga, ff>r

ir: In accardance with th ;regulation I have the honor to Bubmit herewith anDual report of thi Command far the year 1910. The total enli tment in thi Command January 1st, 1910 was 577 men and 53 officer. Th report for January 1, 1911 ehowed 639 men and 49 officers. Regular no ekly drill no Ih ld by all f h tlanta Companil' and regular weekly or bi-w ekly drill held by all of the out of town companie. The Atlanta ompanie paraded on Memorial Day and on the 0 ea ion of the vi it of lonel Roo cvelt to Atlanta in Octob r. Practically all of the out of town companies paraded on Memorial Day and on on or more occa ions.

Companie E and H are preparing to install an indoor range. It is wibh pardonable pride that it is noted that this COlllJWl.nd had the highest average according to the Inspector's report, of any Regiment in the State in 1910. Tihe following recommendation are made:
1. That pay allowance be made for officer ' uniform.
2. That the members of the Guard not be requ.ested to attend camp without full pay.

3. Tihat a special effort be made to fully instruct all officel'6 in the matter of car.respondence and the necessity of immediately answering and attending to same.
4. 'mIat as this Command has been in pected in January for several yeaTs, that at the next in pection in 1912 it be inspected last.
