Gov. Pingree says that Camp Eaton will
blossom again. The Presidents call for
troops makes 1t necessary to rendezvous
volunteers at some point, so Camp Eaton
will be continued until the men are equip
ped and ready to take the field. The gov
ernOr thinks 1t will be unwise to take a
large number of men from any one place
for the quota, 1892 men. under the second
call. such depletion being sure to affect such
towns In the future. He favors apportioL-
ing the quota among the various townships
and wards throughout the State on basis
OF the number of eligible men in each. If
this plan is adhered to there is small hope
of any of the recently organized companies
being accepted, especially il located in
town which has already furnished COM
pany.
