During the past twenty-four hours, twenty-seven men have been recruited in both companies. Up to 10 o’clock this morning Company, I had recruited fourteen, new soldiers and Company E had enrolled thirteen new men. In addition to the recruits whose names were published last evening are the following: Company I: W. F. Bart- lett, Mele Dendi, John J. O'Brien, S. ‘W. Budnick, A. Stempieni, S. W. Tan- torski, V. Silewski, W. D. Nelson, O. 8. Ward and W. W. Livingston, total, seventy-five enlisted men and two commissioned officers; Company E: Henry R. Logan and Henry E. Gard- ner, total, fifty-seven ment and two commissioned officers. ‘There is no trouble about securing necessary equipment for the new men and Col. H, L. Dorsey, United States inspection and disbursing offi- cer, has arranged to dispatch motor trucks with supplies to both Ilocal companies as.fast as. they.are needed. One truck load was sent here at 9 &’#lock last night. The men who en- listed previous to yesterday have been outfitted and the new men will re- ceive unifornis and other equipmnt as s00on as their measurement have been taken and the necessary time elapses to get the material to.the city. Leut. Hattings Wants Service, Lieutenant James Hattings of Com- pany E, retired as first lleutenant several weeks ago, has made applica- tion for re-assignment for active ser- vice. Lieutenant Hattings is one of the oldest line officers in the local units. He enlisted as a private in Com- pany I in July, 1898. He was honor- ably discharged in 1901 and re-en- listed on July 24, 1904, when.he was appointed corporal. In 1906 he was made a se t, then quartermaster and on June 23, 1909 he became sec- ond lleutenant of Company I. . On February 11, 1911 he was made a first Heutenant in Company I and trans- ferred to the reserves in March of that year. Lieutenant Hattings was recalled from the. reserves and made first leutenant of Company E on April 25, 1914. He accompanied the troops to the border last summer. He.is a highly trained officer and is popular with his men. The non-commissioned officers of Company I were. printed yesterday and herewith are printed . those of Company E: first sergeant, James Kelley; -first duty sergeant, W. H. Smith, second duty sergeant, Veley. supply sergeant, Bober; mess ser- geant Brown; corporals, Scheutz, Si- mons, Queenin, Bloom, Becker and LaCelle. The cooks are Anderson and Ventres and the buglars are Duplin and Gregory. Only Few +Men Missing, In either company there are but a few men who have not yet been lo- cated and ordered to report for duty. Company E has two men who are out of the state. Company 1 has seven men out of the city and one man, Corporal Ensminger, who has enlist- ted in the navy. The general health of the men is excellent and there is not a single case of any serious dis- ability. Company E has no men on the} sick list, although Captain Low is suffering from a severe cold. In Company I there are three men ‘bn’ the sick list, one has neuralgia, ‘an- other has a painful boil and the third has a slight attack of indigestion. Dr. Robert Clark and Dr. John Purney are caring for all men, being detailed as examining surgeons for the local soldiers. Nether Captain Griswold nor Cap- tain Low could furnish any informa- tion. concerning what or when the next move will be. None of the officers has any information as to the ulti- mate destination of the boys, but they hardly expect a call for several days at least.. While there is urgent need for many more recruits in each com- pany every precaution is: being taken to ‘enlist men whose requirements are satisfa The - commanding offi- cerg sole Already it is esti mere men have b both companies, some instances cause of certain ‘| Néw Britain Institute. moral characteristics, but in the ma- Jority of instances it was because of some physical disability, or the ap- parent lack of a physique required to stand the rigors of camp life. In every instance the rejected man is very much disappointed. As further evidfnce of the loyalty ‘f the so sealled hyphenated- American, com- pared the possible lassitude of the full blooded American, the recruiting officers stated this afternoon that more than seventy-five per cent of the ap- plicants are either naturalized aliens or are born of such parentage, while the number of old line ‘Americans who apply are in a very small minor- ity. - Regarding Men’s Rations. For the' present and until further orders the men are ratioing them- selves, although they march to their restaurants in a body. They receive seventy-five cents per day for meals. As always, the officers pro- vide their own rations' and clothes. Local men who saw service along the border are interested in the appoint- ment of a new regimental chaplain to succeed the Rev. Dr. Irvng H. Berg, resighed. An appointment ds ex- pected within a few days. Major Shuttleworth, who was mus- tering officer last summer, has again been detailed to serve in this dapacity. It is also explained that imen who have obtained discharges -but, whose discharge papers have not been signed and who wluh .to remain in the nrvice. do not hayw ); re-enlist. Thy; men of the First, nunt are on gayern- ment pay; is ‘fifty cents & day for a private, tosether with clothing, medical attention and rations. Other Officers Leave. Deputy City Clerk Harry Har- greaves, -regimental sergeant-major, has left his desk in city hall and re- ported to headquarters in Hartford. Lieutenaht Frafk Pinches has also reported for service. Earl Edwards, cashier at ‘the Commercial Trust company, has reported with the Ma- chine Gun' company, with which he saw service on the border last sum- mer. Company I Has 80 Men. Noon hour recruiting for Company I added five' more men, bringing the total number. of-enlisted men in this command up to eighty men and two commissioned officers. The recruits who were sworn in this afternoon in Company I were: J. Makul, C. W. Nelson, formerly-with the U. S. navy; R. Whitten, a former member of the regular army infantry and also the coast artillery; Raymond 8. Frost and S. Coats. Latest figures from Company E gave the total number of enlisted men ag fifty-seven, although at 3 o’clock there were several additional appli- cants who had not been examined. Tomorrow Lieutepant Arthur John- son of Company E will be the officer of the day. Recruiting Belpw Expectations, Hartford, March 27.—Mobilization | of the First Connecticut infantry to- day showed a decided gain over Mon- day. Recruiting was not as brisk as had beeen anticipated. Still short a few men of the peace rating, the regiment lacks 1,100 men and officers of being up to war strength. Colonel Richard J. @oodman said this morn- ing that the Hartford units lacked 450 men .of war footing and the re- sponse to the call for recruits was not adequate for the emergency. Adjutant General Cole today urged the immediate need of two more medical officers to-bring the number attached to the first regiment to four. According to the general the state can now equip all its national guardsmen at & peace rating but cannot provide equipment for war strength. Requisi- thm ~have been sent to the war depart- 5 however, and additional ‘stores d ‘supplies are coming on and will bo here by the time the regiments are recruited to war strenegth, Connecticut troops will take the field fully equipped in every particu- lar, according to General Cole. The first infaatry is being looked after first but as soon as this is completed deficiencies in other outfits will be made up. b DEATHS AND FUNERALS. 'Mrs. Ann Frawley.

Columbus, O., March 27.—Governor Cox issued a proclamation today call- ing upon citizens of Ohio to prepare for war. “It is unnecessary to ela- borate upon turbulent conditions of the world.” he said. “We are -so closely related to them that any sur- fender to the free and easy idea that .things will turn out all right will be plain incompetence,” the proclama- tion reads.
