Red Tape Is Criticized.

Indianapolis. Adjt. Gen. Frank Bridges of the Indiaifti National Guard hotly criticized the excessive “red tape” of the war department, which may possibly prevent the mustering out of the Tlrird Indiana before Christmas. “Of course, it takes time to check the equipment,” said Mr. Bridges, “but it is ‘red tape’ that causes delay. I have had a field ambulance company at Fort Harrison for weeks, awaiting equipment before going to Texas.” Officers of the company expect their men to eat. Christmas dinner at home.
