Adjutant-General Makes His Biennial Report.

In the biennial report of Brigadier, General W. George McCoy, adjutantgeneral of Indiana, filed with Governor Marshall, it is shown that the total expenditures of the Indiana National Guard, from state revenues in the fiscal year was $85,329.25. In the fiscal year of 1911 the total amount spent was $75,451.96. Tjhe camps of instruction in 1912 cost $22,303.52, the semi-annual pay rolls amounted to $17,430, and the armory allowance expended was $20,524.32. In a foreword to the report, the ad-jutant-general said: "I am much pleased to report the almost complete success of the correspondence school carried on in the last year by Captain Charles D. Herron, under the supervision of this office. While the course was voluntary, about 65 per cent of the officers of the guard entered the school, and the great benefit to the student officers being so obvious, it is confidently expected that at least 85 per cent of the officers will enter this year. A course of advanced study for thirty-eight officers whb did commendable work during the year is in course of preparation.” The report makes a plea for an increase in the appropriation of the 1913 legislature to SIOO,OOO for guard expenses.
