The Shattuck boys will raise regi-
ment.
At a meeting at the Commercial club
last evening, attended by half hum
DIRE dgraduates Of the school, general
plan for an immediate organization Of
q regiment to be know as the Eek Ca
Diet Volunteer Regiment Of Minnesota
was outlined, and score enrolled as
members.
Great interest is being taken by the
graduates of the school in the new
regiment, of which the Shattuck men
are to form the nucleus. Among those
present at the meeting were repre-
sentative men of the two cities who
at one time or other were Shattuck ca
diets.
D. w. Hand was elected president,
and S. F. Ames was selected as secre-
tary and treasurer. The executive
committee was appointed by the chair
as follows: H. b. Straight, r. Warner
Jr., w. B. Lincoln, F. c. Bancroft and
L. E. Carson.
The general plan of the organization
is to secure recruits who have grad
uated from military schools of the state
ana such other recruits as the officers
may afterwards accept
An effort will be made, through the
executive committee, to communicate
with every Shattuck man in the state
by appointing one man in each county
to confer with the other ex-cadets in
his vicinity.
President Hand stated that fully 500
Shattuck men were scattered through
the state, who would join the new regi-
ment
Lieut.. B. r. Mccoy suggested that
the live spirits at distant points be
made recruiting officers for their re-
spective counties
DIR. Woods thought a canvass should
be made of those present to ascertain
Just how many of those in the room
would join, as they all were actively
engaged In one kind of occupation CT
another, and such a course would be
the most practical and serve as basis
or organization, If sufficient support
was secured.
Thereupon a committee, consisting Of
DR.. Woods, D. w. Hand and r. War
ner Jr., was appointed by the chair to
draft suitable resolutions, to be signed
by those present.
When the committee reported it was
quite late, as the early part of the
evening had been spent waiting for a
large party of college men from Min
neapol1s who were expected, but who
tailed to put in appearance MANY of
the members had gone home, but those
remaining signed the resolutions.
Whereas The United States of America
are on the verge of being, If they are not
In TACT, involved in war with the govern

celVeo the advantages and benefits of mill
tary training and discipline in various mill

Offices will be opened up in the Ger
mania Life Insurance building, where
recruits will be received, and be a gen
eral rendezvous for visiting Shattuck
men while in the city.
Inasmuch as it will be impossible to
get in under the first call for volun-
teers, 1t was voted to secure the CO.
operation of Shattuck and other college
men before the second call for volun-
teers The work of the executive COM
mittee will be systematic and not a
Shattuck man in the state missed In tha
canvass.
Before adjourning it was agreed that
the recess should be subject to the call
Of the president.
After adjournment, we'll known
Shattuck graduate, who was instru-
mental in bringing the college men to-
gether, said: Now that we have got
the thing started I think we will have
clear sailing, as I have several letters
from class mates saying they would
join If a regiment was organized.
1T is the intention to place the regi-
ment at the disposal Of the governor
just as soon as sufficient progress has
been made to warrant such action. IT
will probably be done at the next meet.
