He begins numbering his vouchers from No. 1 up to and in- cluding the last day (June 30) of the f.scal year, when he must start a new series for the next fiscal year. Field Quartermaster's Handbook 47 If he should be relieved from duty as Quartermaster (not at all an unlikely event) his property account will be closed by drawing a red- ink line below each last entry. A list of the balances shown by the property account as being on hand will be prepared in triplicate and be certified to by him as follows: Camp X., N. Y., 1917, I certify that I have taken up on my property account all property found actually on hand, and that the foregoing list includes all prop- erty for which I am accountable, beginning with voucher No. 1, and ending with voucher No fiscal year 1917, and that it is a correct statement of all such property pertaining to the Quartermaster Corps. JOHN DOE, Major Q. M., U. S. R. The officer to whom the property is transferred will, upon certifica- tion, certify on each copy of statement as follows: Camp X., N. Y., 1917. I certify that I have this day of received the supplies and property of the Quartermaster Corps listed above. The original copy of the list when signed will be forwarded to the office of the Quartermaster General by Major Doe. The duplicate will be given to his successor, who will immediately take up on his property account the articles and quantities thereof listed. The triplicate copy will be retained by Major Doe. If there be any question as to the quantity of the property, its con- dition, or other differences of opinion between the officers concerned in the transfer, it should be immediately adjusted as required by Army Regulations Nos. 668, 669, 1091, 1091^. In order to summarize and illustrate specifically how property is purchased, paid and accounted for we will trace step by step the process necessary in expending $10 for street car tickets: SECURING OF FUNDS. 1.

Major Doe has received by transfer from depot and by local purchase some Subsistence Stores and must account for them. This is done on the "Return of Subsistence Stores," Q. M. C., Form No. 219. (This form is too bulky to fully illustrate so the front and back pages only are shown See Appendix "S.") For the Subsistence Stores received from depot he has received four copies of the Q. M. C., Form No. 201 (two invoices and two receipts). He accomplishes both receipts and returns them to the invoicing officer. One of the invoices he files with his retained returns and forwards the other to the Quartermaster Gen- eral with his return of Subsistence Stores in accordance with Circular No. 3, O. Q. M. G., of 1915. For the stores purchased Major Doe makes payment on W. D., Form No. 330. In making his purchase of fresh beef Major Doe goes through the following steps until the beef passes into the possession of an organi- zation as a part of its ration: First. Receives from Headquarters authority to purchase locally. Second. He prepares a circular proposal (Q. M. C., Form No. 119), and issues same to dealers as well as posts it in conspicuous public places. Third. He opens bids and makes an Abstract of Proposals on Q. M. C, Forms No. 123 or 124. Fourth. Makes award to the lowest responsible bidder on Q. M C., Form No. 119a. Fifth. Orders delivery by calling for an equal number of fore and hind quarters. Sixth.

Lists the purchase on "Abstract of Subsistence Stores pur- chased," Q. M. C., Forms No. 220 or 221. Tenth. Shows purchase and issue on his "Return of Subsistence Stores," Q. M. C., Form No. 219: The general plan of property accounting, while it seems on first acquaintance to be bewildering, is in reality not difficult and Major Doe will find that his troubles will vanish as he becomes more ex- perienced. If he follows his instructions carefully he need not fear the present plan of property accounting. The succeeding days with Major Doe are extremely busy ones. Laborers and mechanics are engaged or told the date when their services will be required. Prospective bidders enquire with reference to this or that detail of the proposed camp construction. Mail has to be answered, bills of lading and invoices of property arrive. The staking out of the Camp requires that changes be made on the original plan to produce the best results. Places for tents are marked with a templet made by crossing 16-foot strips for large pyramidal tents so that the places the tent pins would occupy are indicated on the perimeter. He has sent samples of the water supply for the Camp by express to the Surgeon General of the Army for bacteriological ex- amination and has received an analysis showing the supply is pure and wholesome. The day for opening bids soon arrives and Major Doe opens and reads aloud those received in the presence of all bidders desiring to be present, as required by A. R. 514. After the bids are carefully abstracted he telegraphs to Department Headquarters his recommendations for award, forwarding by mail one copy of the abstract with one copy of each bid received per A. R. 543. His recommendation is based upon a careful analysis of prices named, upon the responsibility of the bidder and ability to perform the work or furnish the supplies, and, for the construction, upon the factor of time specified in which to do the work. After taking all the above into account his recommendation in his telegram and on the abstract were as follows: A. All bids for wood to be rejected and purchase made in open market as this method will give better prices and quicker delivery by purchasing as wanted. B. The lowest bids for forage and straw, fresh beef, onions, and potatoes, also ice, to be accepted. 50 Field Quartermaster's Handbook C. The lowest aggregate bidder on all building construction to be accepted this giving a better construction, centralized control and one general contractor to deal with rather than to accept the lowest bid for each building from several contractors. D. The bids for the water system, roads, ditches and culverts to be rejected and all this work to be done by purchase of materials and hire of the necessary laborers, as this method will reduce the cost to the Government under the lowest bid. Department Headquarters at once telegraphs Major Doe his recom- mendations are approved and to execute the necessary contracts and bonds on the following forms: 1. Contracts for the forage, straw, fresh beef, onions, potatoes and ice, to be on Q. M. C., Form No. 107. 2. Contracts for the construction to be on Q. M. C., Form 109. 3. Bonds for the former contracts to be on Q. M. C., Forms Nos. lOOc, lOOd, lOOe and lOOf, and for the latter contracts on Q. M. C., Forms Nos. lOOg, lOOh, lOOi, 100J and 100k, according to the printed notes thereon. Major Doe writes a letter to each successful bidder informing him of the articles or work awarded, and gives the unit or total costs. He next urges and impresses upon the contractors in a personal interview the need of action and places his Superintendent of Construction in immediate charge of the work. He pays for the articles purchased in the open market on W. D. Form 330, and pays his laborers either weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, on W. D., Form 334. Installation of water supply has been made the first business, next the storehouses and platforms, after these the roads and later the buildings. The morning of the fifth day Major Doe receives a telegram from Department Headquarters announcing that the troops to compose the First Division are to be mobilized at Camp X., N. Y., by the War Department, viz: Division Headquarters: Commander Major General Richard Roe. Aids Captain H. Dorn, Captain J. Gordon, Captain A. Cone. General Staff: Chief of Staff Colonel B. Jones. Assistants to Chief of Staff Major A. Commerford, Major T. Richard. Adjutant Major D. Dyar. Inspector Major O. Pritchard. Judge Advocate Major E. Blackstone.

Forty-five enlisted men Headquarters Detachment. 222d, 223d and 224th, 330th, 331st and 332d, 402d, 403d and 404th, Regiments of Infantry. lllth Regiment of Cavalry. 1st Brigade of Light Artillery. 10th Pioneer Battalion of Engineers, 15th Battalion of Signal Corps. Ammunition Train. Supply Train. Engineer Train. 20th, 21st, 22d and 23d, Ambulance Companies. 15th, 16th and 17th, Field Hospital Companies. The receipt of the telegram announcing assignment of the First Division and its arrival at the Camp in the near future indicates to Major Doe the necessity for prompt action if the Camp is to be gotten in readiness before the troops arrive. Appreciating the preparation necessary he proceeds at once to the Camp site. On arrival he finds the Engineer Company has the Camp plotted and drawn to scale on the blue print of the Camp grounds. In some instances lines for company streets have been run and stakes have been driven at proper intervals showing location of the tents. Beginning behind the mess shelter and kitchen, it is necessary to mark out the location of the seventeen large pyramidal tents which each company (except the Headquarters, Supply and Machine Gun Company) has. This has been done by use of the 'templet. As previously explained this is a pattern or contrivance on which are indicated the proper spaces at which the tent pins should be driven. By its use, the front line being established, the tent sites for a company, battalion and regiment can be quickly accomplished with the aid of but few men. Moreover Major Doe is obliged to economize on space and to have a camp, perfectly aligned. While engaged in giving the contractor some instructions relative to location of the mess shelters, kitchens and latrines for each Regi- ment, Major Doe receives a telegram stating that the 444th Regi- ment of Infantry will arrive in the morning to assist In pitching tents, policing the camp and furnishing a sufficient guard for the large quantity of stores now arriving. Major Doe gets in touch at once with the Officer .commanding the Engineer Company and requests him to concentrate his Company on one of the Camp sites for an Infantry regiment so that tent pins will be all driven that evening. He next speeds up the contractor to lay an emergency water pipe on top of the ground to the Camp, has the wood contractor haul and pile 52 Field Quartermaster's Handbook wood, has the trenches for the 16 latrines (See Appendix "T" for illus- tration) all dug (canvas screens to be used until the frame structures are completed), the mess pits or kitchen crematories (See Appendix "T") for the 18 messes dug and stoned, forage and straw delivered that afternoon and a daily supply delivered thereafter until the storehouses are completed. He then orders a supply of fresh beef, ice, potatoes and onions by open market, or under the contract already made if con- tractor is ready, to be on the side track in the morning all ready for issue to the troops upon arrival. At eight o'clock that evening, upon reaching the office again after supper, the Engineer Officer telephones that the tents are all marked out and the Camp site will be ready for reception of troops the following morning. Major Doe asks each contractor for supplies and construction to come down to the office and see him so that he can find out just what each one has done or will do in accomplishing the part assigned him. All present satisfactory reports except the wood contractor, who states he will not be able to get in sufficient wood until 5 P. M. the next evening. Major Doe excuses himself and directs his clerk to get in touch with the town lumber merchants and ask for tenders on immediate delivery at 9 o'clock the next morning of 15 cords of four foot hard wood (about a 10 days' supply for the Regiment). He then returns to his conference with the contractors and in about fifteen minutes his clerk brings in the quotations good until 6 A. M. the next morning. Turning to the wood contractor Major Doe informs him that unless he begins delivery by 6 A. M. the following morning, it will be necessary to go out in the open market and purchase on his account, in which event the contractor and his sureties will be called upon to pay the difference in cost over and above the contract rate. The contractor ponders this and promises that he will begin deliveries as ordered. After further conference with his contractors, and being satisfied that matters are now progressing satisfactorily, Major Doe dismisses them and begins to answer his correspondence which he has been unable to attend to before. Just then his clerk hands him a telegram stating that the first section of the 444th Infantry will arrive at 10 A. M. tomorrow morning, the second section at 10:15 A. M. and the third section at 10:30 A. M. The telegram also says that there are 55 cars in the three sections made up as follows: First Second Third Section Section Section Standard sleeper Tourist sleepers 4 Baggage cars Box cars 2 Flat cars 1 1 Stock cars 8 A. P. H. car 1 Totals 19 18 18 For capacities of railroad cars see Appendix "U." *1 as baggage and 1 as kitchen car, Field Quartermaster's Handbook 53 Calling up the railway agent, Major Doe finds that he also re- ceived a wire to the same effect. In order to avoid the possibility of delay, at Major Doe's request, the agent agrees to have an extra switch engine and crew on hand on arrival of the troops in order to facilitate detraining. He also requests as previously agreed that a telegraph operator be sent to the Camp in the morning and established in a tent at the Camp siding to expedite future business. Detailed instructions are then written fo the guidance of the in- coming command accompanied by the blue print of the Camp layout (one for each train command) showing the Regiment's Camp, where its wood is piled, and where its beef, ice, fresh vegetables, forage and straw are obtainable and the date, hour and place where rations may be drawn, as well as other details necessary to aid the incoming troops in becoming thoroughly acquainted with their surroundings. The instructions issued relative to detraining Major Doe are as follows: QUARTERMASTER'S OFFICE, Camp X, N. Y., March 25, 1917. Memo No. 1 To Train Section Commander: 1. Your troops will detrain on track 1 and upon detraining the troops will march direct to Camp indicated on blue print. 2. Cars will be inspected as soon as vacated, by officers designated by train commander accompanied by the train conductor. Report of any damages will be promptly furnished the undersigned through the train commander. The report of the inspecting officers will also show the numbers and initials of each car of the section, also engine number and railroad with names of engineer and train conductor. 3. Suitable details will be made for unloading animals, baggage, freight and vehicles. These details will remain with their cars until unloaded. 4. Stock cars will be unloaded on track 6. 5. Fuel for five days will be found at the respective kitchens and ice may be obtained upon arrival at the ice pit shown on blue print. 6. It is expected troops will arrive with two days' rations and grain so that issues will not be required the day of arrival, but in case they do not, returns for 10 days' rations and requisitions for 10 days' forage may be submitted to the Quartermaster's office as soon as practicable after arrival. 7. Cars will not be moved until after all sections arrive whefn they will be switched out of the yard as the train officials -may decide. JOHN DOE, Major Q. M. C, U. S. R. Next three telegrams are made out and addressed to the Command- ing General, Eastern Department, announcing the arrival of the train sections as required by Army Regulations 193 and completed except inserting the number of officers and men and hour of arrival. These telegrams are to be handed each section commander in the morning to be signed and sent by them upon arrival after inserting proper data. 54 Field Quartermaster's Handbook Major Doe is now ready for bed, tired but happy that the arrange- ments are completed. Early in the morning, with three clerks, he proceeds to the Camp site to look over the final arrangements and to assure himself nothing has been forgotten. The wood contractor has already begun de- livery so Major Doe calls up the merchants from whom options were obtained the night before, thanks them and advises that he will not need the wood. Another mishap threatens. A car of forage expected has not ar- rived. Major Doe calls up the railroad agent who finally locates the car on a siding near the main line station. The extra switch engine requisitioned the previous evening is obtained and the car rushed to the Camp in* time for the switch engine to return to the main line yard before the arrival of the first section. With a final survey, Major Doe hurries to the Railroad station with two clerks to await the coming of the first section. On the way he gives each cleric copies of his memorandum and copies of the camp blue print and directs each to board a section of the train (indicating which one) and hand a copy of the memorandum and camp blue print to the train commander. Major Doe himself will board the first section and confer with the Regimental Commander. Upon arrival the officers and guards leave the cars, after which the commanding officer gives the order to detrain. Non-commissioned officers being placed near the doors next detrain, and finally the rest of the men bringing their arms and equipment. After all have detrained an inspection of the sleepers and coaches as previously provided for follows, the troops, except the details provided for unloading, march promptly to Camp and find their tentage on the ground ready to be pitched. Arms and equipments are then stacked, a guard posted, and the command proceeds to pitch tents the cooks meanwhile starting the fires and awaiting the rations being brought from the cars by the hired wagons of Major Doe. While some of the details unload the rest of the baggage and freight, others unload the wagons and animals. As soon as unloaded, the animals are harnessed, hitched to the wagons and assist in transport- ing to the Camp site the Regiment's baggage and freight. Upon arrival the train Quartermasters handed Major Doe the original bills of lading covering the property transported, which he will accom- plish after ascertaining that all property has checked out properly, and hands same to the railway agent. They also hand him, properly completed, copies of Q. M. C. Form No. 471 (Memorandum concerning the Movement of Troops see Appendix "V") to be dis- posed of per directions on the form. Major Doe's most important work will now begin. Not only must the work of construction progress smoothly, but he must also satisfy promptly the needs of the Regiment as well. This will require patience, tact, foresight and constant energy. At the outset his two most important duties are those of providing rations for the men Field Quartermaster's Handbook 55 and grain for the animals. The Regiment will obtain these from him, on Q. M. C. Form No. 223 an illustration of which is given in Appendix "W." The method of obtaining rations is for the Regimental Supply Officer to fill out the Ration Return (Q. M. C. Form No. 223) in duplicate from the Morning Report (A. G. O. No. 333) and being properly signed, submit the original (retaining the duplicate) to Major Doe, who issues the rations, abstracts them on his Abstract of Issues (Q. M. C. Form Nos. 222-250-251) filing therewith the Ration Return (Form 223), making the abstract a numbered voucher to his Return of Subsistence Stores (Q. M. C. Form No. 219). One of the most important police orders issued will be that having to do with the disposition of the kitchen waste, which will be con- sumed in the kitchen sinks or incinerators, a full description of which is given in Appendix "T." One oi the most important Camp duties is the disposal of the excreta and Major Doe is obliged to see to it that latrines are properly constructed and cared for. The construction and care of latrines is also shown in Appendix "T." The days will now pass all too quickly for Major Doe and almost before he is aware of it, pay day is near. His civilian clerks and civilian employes will be paid on W. D. Form No. 334 and the troops on W. D. Form No. 366 and 366a. Illustrations of the Army Pay Roll only are shown in Appendix "X," as Form No. 334 is too wide to show and presents no special diffi- culties. For both rolls Major Doe draws one check, as hereafter explained, and pays employes and enlisted men in cash. The Army Pay Roll is a serious problem, as he is personally re- sponsible for any mistakes and must make good any shortage. If any man is overpaid, Major Doe will send the man's company or organization commander a letter (Q. M. C. Form No. 56) requesting entry of the amount against the man on the next pay roll and at the following payment it will be deducted. The two blanks above mentioned (No. 366 and 366a) constitute the pay roll of enlisted men of the Regular Army. Entries include name and rank of each soldier, arm of the service, enlistment period, amount of pay and all stoppages against pay, with explanations of reasons for making the stoppages. The explanation of the purpose of the various columns is shown in Cir. 12 O. Q. M. G. 1912, pages 18 and 19. Major Doe after receiving the rolls from each organization made out and signed, except for the insertion of the amount due or to be deducted, proceeds with his clerk to figure the rolls, observing remarks as to when last paid, allotments and stoppages. After these rolls, which are in duplicate, have been compared and found correct the totals are ascertained and change list (Q. M. C. Form No. 57) is. 56 Field Quartermaster's Handbook made out and sent the Sub-Treasury or depository, two or three days before presentation of his check covering the amount of the roll. Notification is then sent the Regimental Commander of the date, hour and place where the men should assemble for payment. On the day when he is to make payment, Major Doe draws a check (stating therein that it is drawn to pay troops and employes) to his order for the entire amount of the rolls and presents same in person to the depository or Sub-Treasury for the cash included in the Change List he submitted previously. On presenting the check indorsed by him he receives the cash and proceeds to the Camp to make payment. Major Doe, his clerk and the Commanding Officer of the first organization to be paid, assemble at the place appointed for the pay- ment. The clerk calls out the names of the men to be paid in the order they appear on the roll and also calls out the amount each is to receive. Major Doe counts out and places the money before the man who is meanwhile identified by the organization commander seated at Major Doe's right. The pay of the men not present at the pay table and who have receipted for the payment, Major Doe hands to the company or organ- ization officer, who afterwards hands same to the man or if unable to do so, in three days returns it to Major Doe who deposits it to his official credit in the Sub-Treasury or depository and draws a line through the man's name on the roll adding thereto the words "not paid." Major Doe pays the officers of the Regiment by individual checks on pay voucher W. D. Form No. 336. Major Doe now prepares his money accounts as they must be forwarded by the 10th of the month per A. R. 627 to the Quarter- master General, Washington, D. C., or if he fails to do this the Treas- ury Department will decline to place other funds to his credit. Fortunately he is able, through systematization of his work, to for- ward his Account Current (a fuller illustration than his own account shows is given in Appendix "Y") with his abstracts and vouchers. If Major Doe has heeded his instructions and made proper and legal expenditures, his accounts will be passed; if not he will receive from the Auditor for the War Department (to whom the Quartermaster General has passed the accounts for final review) a statement show- ing the items suspended against him and why each item has been suspended. Major Doe makes his explanation of the suspended items and if satisfactory, the Auditor raises the suspension, but if not, Major Doe can appeal to the Comptroller of the Treasury who, if he sustains the Auditor, affirms the suspension, or if not, vacates it. In the former event, Major Doe becomes personally liable for the amount and must pay it. The next day instructions are received that the 444th Regiment is to leave within 10 days for the Concentration Camp. Field Quartermaster's Handbook 57 Major Doe must now make arrangements for the railroad trans- portation, the rationing of the troops for the journey, the closing of its accounts with him for its supplies obtained and all the preliminary and final details for entraining. Major Doe now confers with the Supply Officer who has been sent to him by the Colonel of the Regiment relative to the details of the movement. Together they decide upon the following: (a) The date the troops will be ready to move. (b) The number and class of cars for each section. (c) Number of officers and men to travel. (d) Amount of (1) Baggage. (2) Vehicles. (3) Other freight. (4) Animals. Major Doe advises the Regimental Commander and hands him Q. M. C. Form No. 471 (Appendix "V"), after which he calls on the American Railway Association representative and lays before him the details of the preliminary arrangements, advises him of the exact make up of each train section and requests him to take action relative to the prompt furnishing of the desired railway equipment. At the proper time Major Doe obtains from the Supply Officer the exact data from which he prepares the shipping invoices (Q. M. C. Form No. 201 in duplicate), bills of lading and the transportation request. Major Doe next prepares the estimate for the rail transportation (Q. M. C. Form No. 469), giving in each instance the following data: A. Organization and headquarters. B. The number of the train section (No. 1 being the first to depart, No. 2 the second, etc.). C. Destination. D. Name of each train quartermaster. E. Authority for the movement. F. The number of officers and enlisted men, separately for each arm and corps and omitting live stock attendants. G. The number of civilian employees, omitting live stock at- tendants. H. The number of live stock attendants. I. The number of public mules, public horses, and authorized private horses, separately for each train section. J. The number of wagons, ambulances, guns, caissons, and other vehicles, separately for each section. K. The approximate total weight of organization property, household goods, and checkable baggage, separately for 53 Field Quartermaster's Handbook each of the three items, should also be shown in the pre- liminary estimate; but not in the final one, such information being then given in the shipping lists and invoices. The date of entraining and the approximate hour of departure should be stated in the preliminary estimate in case the order, or other instructions, directing the movement of troops fails to give that information. Major Doe invoices some property to the Regimental Supply Officer and issues sufficient rations and grain for use enroute and to last for two days after arrival at destination. Many details require attention and the wagon transportation as well as harness should be looked over and repaired. Meanwhile the American Railway representative ascertains that kitchen cars are not obtainable, so it will be necessary to use a bag- gage car for each section and install in each a No. 1 Field Range (fully described in Bulletin 25, W. D., 1916). Major Doe accordingly requests him to have three baggage cars placed on the sidings in order that the field ranges may be installed without delay. He then provides the following additional equipment: 1 Water barrel for every second Tourist Car. 2 G. I. water cans. 2 G. I. buckets. 1 Stovepipe elbow, 100 feet wire. A supply of fuel. He next issues, and asks the Regimental Commander to direct ob- servance of the following loading order: 1st Company property, equipment and supplies, not needed in transit (in box cars locked and sealed by railroad em- ployees prior to departure of train), viz: Company property. Property of officers and men. Ammunition. Rations. Sanitary stores. Tentage. Cooking utensils. 2nd Transportation (on gondola or flat cars), viz: Guns and artillery carnages. Pontons. Wagons. Ambulances. Other vehicles. Field Quartermaster's Handbook 59 3rd Forage (in box cars). 4th Checkable baggage, rations for use enroute (in baggage and kitchen cars under guard). 5th Animals (in stock cars). Cth Men (in coaches or sleepers). \ By this arrangement the articles needed first will be unloaded first. The evening before the troops entrain the remainder of the equip- ment arrives and is inspected by the American Railway representative and Major Doe in order to correct defects, if any. In the morning, one hour after breakfast is finished, the troops are ready to entrain. Major Doe inspects the entire train equipment with the Railway rep- resentative and each train commander and finds everything in satis- factory condition and also that the railroad company has fully com- plied with all requirements. Major Doe then instructs the officers designated to superintend the loading of each train section, to keep lists showing the initials, number and contents of cars loaded under their supervision to avoid unnecessary delay in loading and to see that the cars are fully loaded, since the railroad's tariffs provide a minimum weight (usually 30,000 Ibs.) for each car used even though it contains a less weight. At the proper time loading is begun and carried on by the troops pursuant to the orders of the Regimental Commander and now Major Doe stands aside to watch and to adjust, if necessary, any disagree- ment which may arise between the agents of the railroad and the Regimental Commander. His part is now largely that of a spectator except the handing to the Supply Officer of the Bills of Lading and to each Train Quartermaster the Transportation Request covering the persons on his section. Loading is soon accomplished and the kind and weight of all property loaded in each car has been listed by a competent non-com- missioned officer assigned for the purpose by the Commanding Officer. Two men have been placed in each unsealed car, containing baggage or rations, and the wagons and animals have all been loaded into their cars. Fifteen minutes before the first section leaves the troops are marched down to the cars marked and assigned to them. At the word of command the troops entrain and on the minute the first section moves out followed at the proper time intervals by the other two sections. CALLING THE NATIONAL GUARD INTO THE FEDERAL^ SERVICE. 1. The following instructions regarding the procurement of Quar- termaster supplies and services for organizations of the National Guard govern when called into the Federal Service by the President: 2.

Information as to bidders. No person will be informed directly or indirectly of the name of any one intending to bid or not to bid or to whom information in respect to proposals has been given. 61. Strict construction of time periods in contracts. The Secretary of War has directed that the especial Attention of all contractors, at the time of signing contracts, be called to the fact that it is the purpose of the War Department to exact a fulfillment of all contracts as to the time periods, and that they should understand when entering into contracts with this department that they need not do so with the expectation that they can be relieved from those conditions. 62. Any explanation which a bidder may desire to make concerning his proposal, or any alternative bid, must accompany and be made a part of the original proposal. Appendix APPENDIX "O" Continued. 63. Review of proposal by bidder. Blank spaces of proposal form are to be filled with the pen or on tho typewriter, and a careful review of the proposal and guaranty should be made by the bidder to see that they are correctly drawn and executed, and that all throe numbers read exactly alike. 64. Errors. Neither the laws nor the Army regulations make any allowance for errors, either of cottuais- sion or of omission, on the part of bidders. It must be assumed that bidders have fully informed themselves as to all conditions, requirements, and specifications before submitting proposals; and they can not be excused or relieved from the responsibility assumed by their proposals on the plea of error. 65.

M. Parker, U. S. Cavalry Compiled by Lieut. C. C. Griffith, C. A. C. Presents in a neat pocket-sized manual, a condensed compile- ment of all of the basic military subjects required by the War Department.. Captain Parker's long experience, active service, and recent work in instructing men for* the Officers' Reserve Corps, has well fitted him to present in the simplest, clearest and briefest manner all the essential points. The information neces- sary for a company officer has been compiled from the following official publications: Army Regulations, Military Law, Small Arms Firing Manual, Field Service Regulations, Military Topography, Drill Regulations (Infantry and Cavalry), Hippology, to which have been added some useful plates on military subjects. This little manual presents in a convenient pocket size, all the information needed to solve the ordinary problems which con- front , a company officer, and gives him in one volume the im- portant extracts from many lengthy manuals. Contains in concise form the essentials which candidates must know for commissions in the Officers' Reserve Corps. Price $2.00 What a Company Officer Should Know By Major J. C. McArthur, U. S. A. A wonderfully helpful military guide. Tells things which have never been written about before. It is the experience of twenty- three years of service and many campaigns. It takes the Reserve Officer from his home to the firing line. It shows the difficulties which he meets and tells how he over- comes them. It shows how a company is organized ; the in- struction of the men on the hike, in the field and on the firing line. Notes are written on each chapter explaining various orders and giving suggestions for overcoming the various unforseen difficulties that always arise. 100 pages of worked-out forms for guidance of the company officer. Price $2.00 Published by GEORGE U. HARVEY 109 Lafayette Street, New York HARVEY MILITARY SERIES Field Quartermaster's Handbook This is a book detailing the practical daily work of the Army Quartermaster officer, and is unlike any other book printed for the Quartermaster Corps.
