 Experience with the United States Volunteers in s^i-vice diirihg the {)9st 
 summer developed many weaknesses in the preliminary instruction and 
 preparation of the National Guard. None of thfesfe weSknfeSses were, how- 
 ever, more marked, than the utter unfamiliarity of the officers with the 
 official returns and blank forms, which they were required to fill out and 
 send forward. Indeed, to this lack of knowledge of how, and where; to 
 make proper application for essential and badly needed supplies, may be 
 traced much of the suffering and privations which the volunteers underwent, 
 and which, owing to the possession of this same knowledge, the men of the 
 regular service to a considerable degree, avoided. 
 
 Again, no one save the officers directly concerned knows of the trouble, 
 delay, and extra work, occasioned by errors and mistakes in filling out the 
 periodic returns required by the Adjutant General's Department. And yet 
 all this should have been foreseen. Although there is nowhere a more 
 intelligent set of men than those holding commissions in our National Guard, 
 they could not have been expected, under stress of service in the field, to 
 properly select and fill out the many complicated returns, entirely new and 
 strange to them, which often occasion trouble to the organizations of the 
 regular service, in time of peace. It is with a view to preventing a recur- 
 rence of these unfortunate experiences, that the accompanying work has 
 been prepared. 
 
 An effort has been made to reduce to a uniform size all the blanks and 
 forms which a company commander has occasion to prepare and forward. 
 
 The genferal appearance and arrangement has been preserved, the reduction 
 in size, where necessai-y, being obtained by omission in the numbers of 
 columns of articles enumerated, and never by a change in form. Thus it is 
 hoped that an officer becoming acquainted with the forms as here displayed 
 will feel at home when the originals are placed in his hands. It has how- 
 ever been necessary to reduce, in size, comparatively few forms and as a 
 whole they appear exactly as in the originals. 
 
 Individual ideas will supply methods of securing the best results from 
 the use of the book. My own idea however, is, that its use will be of 
 greatest value in schools of instruction for officers and non-commissioned 
 officers, and in the classes of our military colleges. Here, under the super- 
 vision of an instructor, each officer or student may be required to fill out 
 correctly each blank in turn, taking as a basis either the current strength of 
 his own company or that of a supposed organization taken as an example. 
 When completed each has always in his possession a correct model from 
 which to refresh his memory or to which he may in future refer, — the 
 whole in a convenient form for preservation. 
 
 The preparation of the matter has involved considerable labor but the 
 need of some available source through which to become acquainted with 
 these matters, and which might prevent untold annoyance in future, led me 
 to undertake it, and now to submit it to your consideration. 
 
 Feeling that the work is one in which all are interested, suggestions as 
 to its development will be gladly received. J. B. Jr.

 complete. It is not only the guide for immediate payment of the troops interested, but, when filed in the Treasury Department, it will become the 
 record to which reference will thereafter be made in the investigation and settlement of all claims or questions affecting officers and men whose names

 INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PREPARATION OF PAY ROLLS. 
 
 1. All officers and enlisted men are to be taken up on the rolls from the date of receipt 
 of notice of their assignment by competent authority, whether they have yet joined or not. 
 C:.jre should be taken to have names of soldiers and dates of enlistment correct. Men of 
 dilierent regiments or branches of the service should not be borne on one roll. 
 
 2. The use of dots and of the word "ditto" is prohibited. , 
 
 3. Under the head ot Remarks must be carefully stated opposite the name of the per- 
 
 a. All changes of rank or grade, with dates of same, and Nos., dates, etc., of 
 
 orders. 
 *. All authorized stoppages, fines, sentences, with Nos., dates, etc., of orders. 
 
 c. All cases of absence of enlisted men without leave, and inclusive dates of the 
 
 same. (See A. R. 133.) 
 
 d. All cases of confinement by civil authority, and whether such prisoners have been 
 
 held for trial, tried, or discharged without trial, and, when tried, whether ac- 
 quitted or convicted, with dates, etc. 
 
 e. Everything else affecting the pay of every enlisted man, so as to insure justice 
 
 to him and to the United States. 
 
 4. In noting stoppages to be made for losses of or damage to public property, the 
 amounts due for ordnance, for quartermaster's supplies, etc., will be separately stated in 
 gmss amount for each. (See A. R. 1390 and Cir. No. 13, A. G. O., 1895.) Charges for 
 tr.ihsportation and subsistence while traveling will be made as prescribed in Cir. No. 15, 
 A. <',.0; 1892. 
 
 V Additional pay, due under sees. 1216 and 1285, Revised Statutes, acts of Feb. 9, 
 18- 1 (26 Stat. 737) and Mar. 29, 1892 (27 Stat. 12 will be thus noted : " For certificate of 
 me: t, $2 per month ;" re-enlisted pay due under sec. 3, act of May 15, 1872, thus : " En- 
 tit. ej to re-enlisted pay." The date of change in the rate of pay on account of continuous 
 sen ice will be noted in the column of Remarks on the roll for the month in which the 
 
 change occurred, thus : " 3d year commenced ■ ," "6th year commenced ," etc., and 
 
 repeated on succeeding rolls until paid. 
 
 0. The names of those belonging to the command will be immediately followed by 
 tho^e of the officers and enlisted men who have ceased to belong to it since last muster for 
 pay. These will be classed in the following order, viz.; Discharged, transferred, died, 
 retired, deserted; and the utmost particularity will be observed in the remarks concerning 
 them ; dates and places will in every case be given ; and Nos., dates, etc., of orders, or 
 desci iption of authority, be always carefully specified. When soldiers are retained in ser- 
 vice beyond the period for which they were enlisted, as shown by the date of their enlist- 
 ments, the causes of such retention must be stated. The names of soldiers discharged and 
 re-eniisted, or who have deserted and have joined from desertion since last muster for pay, 
 must be placed both in the body of the roll and under the appropriate headings as having 
 been discharged, having deserted, etc. The place and date of the return (see A. R. 131) of 
 an alleged deserter, and whether he surrendered or was apprehended, will be stated on every 
 roll until he has been tried by court-martial, or returned to duty by competent auihoriij/ (see 
 
 A. R. 132), when the date, place, and source of the order announcing his return to duty or 
 the result of the trial will be carefully noted. The restoration to duty without trial of a 
 deserter by competent authority, ;. e., the commander who would have been authorized to 
 direct his trial, entailing the imposition of the forfeitures and stoppages prescribed by Army 
 Regulations can be ordered only in case is admitted, the desertion and must not be confused 
 with the removal, by the order of such a commander or the War Department, of a charge 
 of desertion erroneously entered on the rolls against a soldier, such removal operating to 
 relieve him from any and all stoppages to which he may have been subjected on account of 
 his supposed desertion. 
 
 7. The remark "discharge and final statements given" will be made opposite to the 
 name of every discharged soldier to whom such papers have actually been given. The 
 character given on the discharge will be noted on the roll. 
 
 8. Upon the transfer, desertion, death, discharge, or retirement of a soldier, his ac- 
 count will be fully stated, the balance for clothing due the United States or due the soldier, 
 all stoppages and charges and all credits for retained pay, detained pay, or deposits, will be 
 entered upon the roil. 
 
 a. Should a soldier who has deserted be returned to the service, the same data that 
 appeared on the rolls after desertion should appear on the first rolls after his 
 return and upon all subsequent rolls until a settlement of his accounts shall 
 have been made by a paymaster; but if no settlement should be made by a 
 paymaster, ov/ing to the soldier's dishonorable discharge, a separate statement 
 of the new account opened with the soldier at date of apprehension or sur- 
 render should also be given in addition and with no reference to the statement 
 made at date of desertion. 
 
 9. For Regulations concerning settlement of a soldier's clothing account (see A. R. 
 1180-H85.) 
 
 10. Under che heading "Last paid" should be entered the name of the paymaster 
 who last peld a balance to the soldier and the date to which this payment settled his 
 account. 
 
 The officer who prepares this roll should not attempt to settle the account of a soldier 
 by striking a balance between his undrawn pay and indebtedness to the United States, 
 this being the duty of the paymaster, when all dues can be collected and a balance paid to 
 the soldier, or of the accounting officers of the Treasury, when such collection cannot be 
 made on account of the soldier's desertion or discharge. 
 
 11. The ruled columns must not be used for purposes other than as stated in these 
 notes or indicated in the printed headings. 
 
 12. One line only will be used for the record of the data, stoppages, and remarks per- 
 taining to a member of the command, unless the length of the remarks shall require 
 additional space ; and, in any case, the interval between a name and the one preceding it 
 must not be greater than necessary. 
 
 1 3. Three copies of this roll will be made, two for the paymaster and one to be re- 
 tained with the command.

 GIVE SPECIAL ATTEI^TION TO THE FOLLOWING, VIZ: 
 
 The printed headings for Rifles are intended for complete rifles—!. «., for rifles with bayonets. 
 
 Bayonets, extra (i. e., such as form no part of the "complete rifles"), are accounted for on pages n and i8. 
 
 When bayonets become unserviceable or are lost, the rifles thus rendered incomplete are indicated by /oo/«o<^ as so many rifles lOfWojrf bayonets. 
 
 All stores of the same kind, although differing in price, pattern, or model, must be accounted for under one heading; and printed headings must not be erased, interlined, 
 
 added to, or in any way changed. 
 Stores for which there may be no printed headings are taken up and reported under manuscript headings. In this connection a close observance of their proper classification is 
 
 enjoined. 
 
 I Certify that the foregoing Return exhibits a correct statement of the public property in my charge during the period ended 
 
 and that the maximum strength of the company during the period was enlisted men
