HENRY BRECKINRIDGE,
Assistant Secretary of War.

II__1. The following instructions in connection with the shipment of private mounts of officers are published for the information and guidance of all concerned:

THE GOVERNMENT OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS,
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION,

DEPARTMENT QUARTERMASTER,

BUREAU OF AGRICULTURE,

Manila, October 17, 1914.

Philippine Department, Manila, P. I.

SIR: I have the honor to state that the Bureau of Agriculture is responsible for the inspection of all animals arriving in the Philippines from foreign countries and for such service collects a fee, in the case of horses, of 1 peso per head.

However, it has been decided to exempt army officers from the payment of this fee, provided they present a certificate to this bureau to the effect that their mounts will be used by them in the discharge of their official duties.

If you will kindly furnish all officers in the future who may bring in mounts in connection with their official duties with such certificate, it will relieve them from experiencing any difficulty with our inspectors with regard to the collection of a fee for such service.

Very respectfully,

H. T. EDWARDS, Director of Agriculture.

2. Officers desiring to ship their private mounts to the Philippine Islands should execute certificate required in the foregoing communication before they leave the United States, this certificate to accompany other papers pertaining to the animals transported to the Philippine Islands.

III__Section 2, Paragraph I, Bulletin No. 19, War Department, 1914, relating to transmission of radiograms, is amended to read as follows:

2. The Navy Department has advised the War Department that the extensive chain of radio shore stations comprising the Navy Coast Signal Service is available to the officials of the War Department and other departments for the free transmission of all radiograms on official business from shore to ship, ship to shore, or ship to ship, plus any connecting line charges. This will apply also to the Army Coast Radio Stations in Alaska and at Corregidor, P. I., and to all Army transports equipped with radio apparatus.

[2141455 E-A. G. O.]

IV-Section e, paragraph 2, Bulletin No. 33, War Department, 1913, answering the query, "Are soldiers furloughed after three years on their own request entitled to transportation in kind and subsistence to the place, or equal distance, of their enlistment?" is amended by changing the answer from the negative to the affirmative.

This change in the answer is based upon the following extract from a decision of the Assistant Secretary of War, dated November 23, 1914, on the subject:

The act providing for furloughing soldiers into the Reserve at the end of four years and three years, respectively, takes the four years' service with the colors as the normal. It then specially provides for a furlough into the Reserve at the end of three years. *** When the act speaks of paying travel allowances to those furloughed after four years' service, it refers to the normal situation. It is not sufficiently evident that Congress had in mind to deprive of the travel allowances a soldier furloughed into the Reserve at the end of three years. I think the fair and liberal interpretation of the statute would signify the intention of Congress to pay travel allowances to any soldier who has completed that period of serv ice with the colors required by his enlistment contract under the statute.

[2227309, A. G. O.]

V. Section 1, Paragraph I, Bulletin No. 27, War Department, 1914, as amended, is further amended so as to authorize the detail of a third enlisted man for duty as switchboard operator at Fort Myer, Va., and the transfer for that purpose of the allotment of extra-duty pay for the switchboard operator at Fort Logan H. Roots, Ark., until the return of the garrison to that post.
