This compilation includes general orders, circulars, and bulletins issued up to and including December 31, 1915, which are still in force, which are of general application, and which have not been incorporated in Army Regulations or other regulations or mannals of the War Department, and it supersedes all orders, circulars, and bulletins, or parts thereof, that are contained in it. In addition to the orders, circulars, and bulletins which are still in force, but which have been omitted from this compilation because of their limited application or because of having been embodied in Army Regulations, or other regulations and manuals of the War Department, other orders, circulars, and bulletins have been omitted - ( ) Because of their unimportance; or (b) Because the customs and practices of the service in the particulars they covered were believed to be so well established that their republication would be superfluous; or (c) Because of recommendations of the staff bureaus concerned that they be not republished; or (d) Because of their periodical character; or (e) Because of their bulk. Orders, circulars, and bulletins of classes (d) and (e) are referred to by notes in the proper places in the compilation.
