TALON as Company ID. The Third Sepa-
rate Company disbanded some time ago,
so that now there are no separate COM
panics in the National Guard. This fact al
lows the engineers to be organized into
an infantry battalion, to be known as the
Second Separate Battalion, to be COM
posed of "A, the shsrpsbcoters; B, the
artificers; C, the scientific engineers, and
ID, as bove noted. The new plan wilicall
for commissioned officers, In lieu of the
acting officers heretofore in command
In the First Regiment the companies of
the Third Battalion are transferred to the
Second Battalion, thus giving the regi-
ment two battaIions under the command
of Col Alexander.
A similar consolidation takes place in
the Second Regiment Major Bartlett, Of
the Sixth Battalion, has resigned, and his
two companies, A and B, will be known
as Company in the Fourth Battalion, to
be commanded by Capt. Horsford. The
Fifth Battalion is TO be supplied with u
major on account OF the resignation of
Major Suess.
A special of Companies c of the Fourth,
B of the Fifth, and of the Sixth on May
8. This is important to the companies
named, because only two OF then. Will be
retained In the service.
The changes contemplated, and which
will be officially announced later, will so
occupy the attention Of the men and Of
Hcers that the spring Inspection will not
be held, but 1t is not unlikely that there
will be. one in October and two every year

The recognized National Guard will go

life of misery and suffering can hardly be
called real life He is half alive, at best
The fact that he might have been perfectly
harder to bear. The fact that he can be per
fectly we'll and strong again seems a hard
fact for him to believe. Hundreds of men
