Wisconsin War Management Critique and Enlistment Notice
A long letter from Wisconsin criticizes wartime governance and War Department contracts, praising the administration of Quarter Master General Treadway and endorsing the cost efficiency of Camp Utley and Camp Randall. It argues against corruption accusations, lists widespread state support from Green Bay to Madison, and defends the Conscript Department while detailing military pay and procurement issues. An accompanying memorandum from Military Secretary Watson explains Beaver Dam enlistment fraud concerns and the Dodge County Fremont Guard’s recruitment scheme.
