Cowles, chairman of the sub committee on military and naval af- fairs of the state council of defense, relative to giving military training to men who expect to jon the colors: In obedience to the instruction of the Connecticut State Council of Defense, I beg to say that it has been determined to do all we can in the training of all young men both for the army and for the navy and for those who have been drafted and are awaiting call by using the armorks throughout the state and the drill halls in the towns where the Home Guard-meets. So far as the armories are concerned, the adjutant general informs me that they will be turned over to the Home Guard when the troops Jeave the state, and can be used as a rendezvous for training. Our committee is in a position to provide instructors for any persons who may desire training in either the military or naval arms of the service under the foregoing conditions. So in each town the drill nights appointed are known to all the . Home Guard in those towns and through them all the boys in those fowns who are thinking about entering the service, either the army or the navy, and those who are drafted and awaiting call can feel sure of a place where they will be welcome, and in- structors will be asked to be at those different rendezvous in the cities and in the towns to help drill and to give short lectures on practical subjects pertaining to both services. The Council of Defense espe- clally wishes to have this letter apply to those men who are drafted and it may be said that whether they are soon to go or not so soon, they will be equally welcome at any or all of these before mentioned rendezous, on perfect grounds of equality, look- ing to military ~ efficiency and good service for the nation in the prosecution of the war.
