among the officers and members of the
First regiment who are going to the Griffin
encampment. The boys were talking moth
ing but encampment. and the officers we're
busy making the necessary arrangements
for the movement Of the troops.
The articles in the MORNING NEWS call
ing upon employers to let their soldier en-
| ployes of for the week had its effect, and
members we're granted the necessary leave
of absence. The result is that instead of the
! companies of the regiment only being able
to barely secure the minimum quota most of
! them will have a good number TO spare.
! The Cadets will most likely, from present
! Indications, carry the maximum allowed by
the state.
All the commands were at the armory last
! night drilling and making the final arrange
neDts for the departure for camp. Blank
| cts, overcoats knapsacks and leggins were
issued to the members. All have prepared
| themselves with the service uniform of
dark jeans trousers end blue sairts
The roster will not he prepared
| until tomorrow afternoon, as it
is expected more names will be added to the
lis5 already secured by the officers. The
armory to-day will be lively place, as the
encampment soldiers and those who want
to 60 but can't will be there during the
afternoon, discussing the plans for the
week.
