MANY MEMBERS OF THE FORTY SEVENTH

UNDER COLONEL, EDDY

Following the resignation OF Colonel W II. Hub
bell. who commanded the 47th Regiment. L. S. ".
during Its service In Porto Rico. from the National
Guard organization. which is being reorganized by
Colonel Eddy. the following officers of the regi-
ment have handed in their designations: Quarter
T. Gibbons Captain ID. c. Sullivan. Lieutenant
James T. Lavens. Lieutenant Joseph l. Gillian.
Captain George C. Butcher, Captain Edward j.
DIN and Captain Robert A. Marshall
All OF these officers believe that as Colonel Hub
bell remained with the regiment and went throug n
all the hardshfps OF service with them he should
be kept at the head of the organization on It's re-
turn.
The National Guard authorities however. REIN
stated the old colonel OF the regiment. Colonel
Eddy, and he Is endeavoring to recruit the regi-
ment. 1t is believed that few Of the officers who
served in Porto Rico will remain, and large num-
bers OF the privates have announced that they
