Many Soldiers Are Without Uniforms For the Present.

A large number of the members of Company M, are without uniforms, and this condition prevails practically in every place where there is a company. These men will be supplied with uniforms as fast as they can be secured. Owing to the great number of enlistments of the past few months, the war department finds that they are thousands of uniforms short. The new men will simply have to wait until these can be- made. They will, in the meantime, remain with their respective companies and get the benefit of the drills. All possible haste is being made by the government to propertly equip the men.
