The | practice has grown in the past few years of officers and men taking their private automobiles to. camp, hecause usually the camp sites are located some distance from resorts and other places | of amusement visited by the soldiers | when off duty. | " The War Department authorizes & | limited number of officers and men to take advantage of this provision and | to receive 3 cents a mile for the travel. The department has just issued a cir- cular pointing out to Guard officials that whether or not reimbursement at 3 cents a mile is involved, such travel | should be authorized only on the ap- proval of the Siate adjutant general, | expressed in written orders. However, it was added, after the United States | property and disbursing officer has given the order for the estimated num- ber. of railroad cars or other public conveyances required, such authoriza- tions should be granted only under ex- ceptional eircumstances and only where the number of Guardsmen to travel by public conveyance is more than the g-mlénum required for the service or- ered.
