By direction of the Secretary of War paragraphs 1681 and 2746 of the Regulations are amended to read as follows: 1681. All funds received from sales, refundments, or miscellaneous sources, except as hereinafter provided, will be at once deposited in the nearest U. S. depository to the credit of the Treasurer of the United States on account of the appropriation to which it belongs, if any, and receipts taken therefor. The original receipt will be forwarded forthwith to the Secretary of the Treasury, and should show, if possible, to what particular appropriation the money belongs, and for what year. For funds thus deposited officers will take credit on their accounts current. 2746. The service-in-war chevron will be one-half of an inch wide, of the same color as the facings, with a piping, on each side of the stripe, one-eighth of an inch wide-white for artillery and red for all other arms-thus making the chevron three-fourths of an inch wide in the aggregate, and will be worn by enlisted men on the uniform coat as soon as the right to wear it has been earned. The campaign chevron will be identical with the war chevron, except that it will be one-half of an inch instead of three-quarters of an inch in width in the aggregate. But one campaign chevron for each enlistment will be allowed, notwithstanding that the soldier may have served during such enlistment in more than one campaign for which chevrons are authorized. All soldiers who, during the war of the rebellion, were in the volunteer service are entitled to wear the war chevron, provided they served in one or more campaigns in the field. When, in addition to a war chevron, an enlisted man is entitled to a service chevron, each edge of the latter will be bound or faced by the former; and when, in addition to a war chevron, an enlisted man is entitled to two or more service chevrons, they will be separated by the war chevron, and the outer edge of each outside chevron will also be bound or faced by the war chevron.
