achieved much political prestige IN this

night Tor Atlanta, where they viii mold
a conference with Gov Atkinson IN re-
gard TO sending proper credentials on
from the state department 70 Boston,
where they will be used IN securing the
monitor Passaic for the Georgia naval
militia headquarters al brunswick. The
Importance of having a war vessel To-
Gated permanently in Georgia waters Is
not 10 be thought lightly Of and the
Brunswick reserves ana citizens general
~ are enthusiastic over the subject. Com

militia, and has ffty-siN men enrolled.
Savannah has two companies and appll-
cations or thirty-six men have been filed
IN the state department for another COM

by Lieut. James 5. Wright a military
man OF much experience.
This company, when organized fully and
equipped, will give Brunswick alone over
100 naval militiamen, ana as she has the
monitor Passaic as a permanency, this

the battalion when 1t IS formed. Lieut.
Aiken, being the senior commanding Of
hcer, viii be elected major Of the battalion
without question and Georgia will show
up well along With other states that have
bodies OF naval militia. That the enthus-
iasm is spreading is shown by a recent
conversation held by the Morning News
correspondent with Mr.. Rufus S. Lang.
prominent citizen Of Camden county.
He states that the young men of Camden

companies and an effort made to bring
Camden into the camps.
The local reserves are indebted to
Mayor Dunwody for the interest he is
taking IN their affairs at the request of
Lieut. Aiken and by virtue of his official
position. He is Spending time and money

a convoy. Seventy men and officers from
the man-of-war win be on board the mon

manageable for the tug and also 10
control her movements while under steam.
The fact that the government has gone
to such expense to ft the monitor out
and send her down in charge of a man
of-war is evidences Of the interest ii takes
in the Georgia naval militia.
When the monitor and its convoy reach
es Brunswicks bar they will be met by
the Brunswick Reserves and the monitor
formally taken charge of and brought un
