Second Lieutenant Arthur Johnson joined Company E in September of 1911. He was quickly appointed as corporal and sergeant and in Septem- ber, 1914 was honorably discharged. He re-enlisted in January, 1915, and was promoted in turn to quartermas- ter sergeant and~”to second Qlouunlnt last May. Awaiting Further Orders. Until turther orders come from the partment, through the adjutant general, the local companies will' not know what is expected of them. As yet they do not know whether they will be. expected to bunk at the ar- mory ‘or will. be permitted to go to their, homes. This noon both com- panies had. dinner at a local restau- rant, Company E at 11:30 o’clock And Company I at 1 o'clock. Each company is Wwell supplied as to equipment, such as guns, uniforms, ete. noon men with experience have been detailed to outfit the new recruits and various squads have been busy drill- ng on the armory floor and at Whl- nut Hill park. The)men are taking hold in earnest and are workihg with a will. * It is the opinion of the local offi- cers and men that when Companies ‘I and B m#réh out from New Britain to do “utloqu ‘police duty"-it -will-be- @ long time 'before their friends see them home again. These men feel that if they are sent out of town to do duty they will be kept out until such times as permanent peace is re- sorted and all signs of possible disor- der have disappeared. It is this feel- ing’ that is luring many of the young men to the recruiting office for a -| majority of the youth of New Britain and twenty-five years, the general, in the presence of town or city officers draws ‘on ‘which are printed the names e eligiblés.

R To Recruit on the Green. This afternoon Captain = Griswold called upon Mayor Quigley and secured permission to establish a re- cruiting station in Central Park. It is the plan of Captain Griswold to set up a full mfllury tent, with all equip- ment, in the park and have it in sharés of a detail of uniformed men, including the recruiting officer. It js thought that such an office will at- tract more attention than would one in a store. It is expected that this station will be opened at § o'clock this afternoon. Corporal H.. P, Burgess of Plainyillg has suggested the advisability of open- ing a recruiting station in Plainville and this will probably be opened in the morning. Additional recruits this afternoon in Company . E were H. J. Bretsnider and H, F. Gregory.- eu:h company a large number of. me} have filed ap- plication blanks expressing a desire to enlist, but other than the men named none have been exgmined and ta.ken the oath of .e: ment. Lieutenant .Arthur Johnson of | Company H has been the officer of the d@ay at the armory. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the men were excused and' permitted to go to their homes. They had orders to -Teport - again at 5 o'clock, but all who wish will be per- mitted to return to their* homes for sleep tonight. Captain Griswold spent the morning in Hartford in conference> with the regimental commanders.: On his re- turn he stated that no additional orders have been issued relative to the place of service, but, he said, work of mustering the soldiers into the federal urvtce will begin as soon as pessible. Men Working Hard at Drills. The scene at the armory this af- ternoon was even more impressive than this morning. Squads of. men, platoons 'of soldiers and full com- ranies were on the floor at various times. The drill sergeants were put- ting the men through their drills with a vim and snap and the older ‘en- listed men showed themselves to be well trained soldiers. The recruits, slthough as yet unfamiliar with the moves, show a most gratifying apti- tude to learn and pay strict attention to all orders given them. This after- noon’s drill ' was confined chiefly to squad and platoon movements. Shortly after 1 o’clock would-be recruits began to flock into the of- fices of Company I and Company E Some were accepted, pending physi- cal examination, and a number were disqualified on the spot. Several of the men who were disappointed were foreigners, several of them not hav- ing taken out their necessary papers Others were below the age of eight- een and could not obtain their par- ents’ consent to their enlisting. Dis- appointment was keen in each man who was turned down and one youth, whose physique is such as to disqual. ify him, made four different attempts 10 enlist during the day. He applied twice to each company, each time appearing when the officer who had interviewd him previously was out. Shuttleworth Again Mustering Officer. _ Hartford, March 26.—Under the call from the war department, the Hartford companies of the First reg- iment, Connecticut infantry, assem- bled in the armory today. The men were ordered to report at 7 a. m., but there were many stragglers, owing to uwavoidable delays in. notifying the men.on short notice. 3 There was little excitement around the armory, but a deep interest was manif d. - The men were not called out on/the drill floor but all reported in company rooms.
