The color of his eyes, the number of teeth, the color of his hair, his weight, his finger prints and ‘any scars or other’dis- tihguishing marks about his body: were carefully catalogued. The rea- son 1or this accurate description of h man is obvious. . Becond Lieutenant Rodman Cham- berlain of Company I is officer of the day and tomorrow Lieutenant Rand will be in charge. - Lieutenant John- son’s turn comes on Wednesday. To- day the sergeant of the guard is Ser- geant Veley of Company E and Cor- poral Beckett of Company I is ‘cor- poral of the guard. Today the men of both companies have been busy at odd moments get- ting together their complete campy and marching equipment. The men have their articles packed and blank- ets rolled so that within a short pe- riod after any order comes they can bo on the move. While not all of the uniforms for the new men have arrived, they are expected this after- roon and when they arrive every man i the local outfits will be fully eduipped. 3 Soldiers Resent Insults. The soldiers of both Company E and Company I have been subjected to many humilisting insults on the street from ignorant or thoughtless by- standers during the past week and they are chaffing under the restraint. ‘While all of the more intelligent citi- zens realize that the soldiers here are doing their duty there are some would-be practical jokers who delight in standing on the curb and passing remarks. Last night two soldiers physically “demonstrated: their super- fority over two of their hectors, but such encounters are frowned upon by officers and men allke and an appeal 11 made to the reason and sense of fairness of all citizens to treat the men with consideration due them and not attempt in their crude way to make them the butt of ill-timed and foully wordod Jests. Mayor George A. Quigley stated this morning that if information con- cerning the departure of the local troops arrives in time to give the. city & chance to give them a farewell cel- ebration he will see that the thing is | done right. He does not think how- ever, that there will be time and in he .is supperted by the officers who believe that the telegraphic or- der will come sudd&ily and give the men but = comparatively 'short time tc get into complete marching regalia and march for the entraining point. Favor Universal Training. Talks with various officers and men at the armory this morning showed that almost to & man they are in favor of universal military training. “It's bound to come and to come sooner than many expect,” was the consensus of opinfan. ‘In the mean- time these officers and men are de- termined to do their utmost to make the National Guard the most effective unit in the United States service. There has been some wonderment as to just what part-of the state’s mili- tary forces have been #alled‘out for service. Inasmt as the First and Secand ‘Regiment nd the Coast Ar- tillery, Batteries E and F, have been called out, only the cavalry, Troops A and B of the Fifth Militia Cavalry, the First Connecticut Field company, signal troops; the First Connecticut Fleld Hospital, First Connecticut Am- bulance company and the Naval Militia have mot been summoned to the calors, . First to Guard Interior. - ‘While the public press, the soldiers | and the public at large have been re- { quested to withhold all information concerning’ the movements of troops, | it is no' secret to state that the Second Régiment is guarding the southern section of the/state, along the coast, and the general interior of the state from Rhode Island to New Yark is to be cafed for by the First Infantry. The following general order has been issued by Adjutant General Coly Drs. T. F. Healey and A, W. Bra- mon will appear before the board ap- pointed .by the secretary of war for the examination of candidates for ap- | pointment as first lieutepants, medi- cal corps, when s0 directed by the president of the board. “The"following officers for the Con- necticut Medical Corps, N.

Hartford, April 3.—This city is having a municipal election today, but it is an off-year not much {interest is apparent. Reports from the va- rious polling places before noon in- dicated that the vote would be light. Ten aldermen, six grand jurors, three members of the board of education Chesterfield and a High school eommltm of five are to be elected. Importan financial questionsinclude appropriations for street improve- ments and the opening up of thoroughfares in order to _relieve truffic congestion, and the restora- tion of the old state house, the whole involving about a miilion dollars, It is believed all these appropria- tions will pass.

The Council of National Defense and its civilians advisory. commission was in special session at the war de- partment again today at work on mobilisation of national resources and energies for war with Germany.

It has been said that a secretary of munitions and a sceretary of trans- portation might be created. Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, chair- man of the advisory commission, and Howard E Cofflin of Detroit, commis- sloner in charge of munitions. pre- parations, have been suggested as cabinet possibilities.

In National Emiergency the Concert Might Beuome Benefit. The’ members of the New Britain Choral society will meet in Booth's ‘hall tonight for rehearsal. Several ‘male members of the chorus have en +| listed in the National Guard or Home Guard and it is possible that their services may not be obtainable when the musicale takes placé. Those in charge of the concert are making tentative plans. Inasmuch’as the high salaried soloists have already signed contracts ' they feel that under any circumstances it would be. impossible to canicel the concert, so it is possible that shontd war come and an emergency be faced the spring concert would be convert- ed into a benefit, the proceeds to go to the Red Crdss or some other worthy national organization.
