Vermont National Guard VIII Take
Part in Army landowners.

THAT the Vermont National Guard will
20 to Mount Grctna, Pa. and take part

While no orders have been issued with
references to the Vermont National Guard
il is expected that the regiment will leave
the state early in August, The regiment
will mobiles at some point, probably
Brattleboro, and from that point will pro-
coed to Mount G-ctna. 1t is probable that
the regiment will be under orders from IL
