The Hartford Times last evening hao Nhe following regarding the question or 5the present status of the Connecticut National Guard:
 A New Haven Associated Press dls- |patch (printed in the Journal and Cou- Tier Friday, says military men have very little to say in regard to the claim of the brigade organization of the Con hecticut National Guard that the re- peal of sections 8,O06, 3,O07, 3,0OS, and 3, ,OO9 in 1905, virtually legislated out of existence the officers of the regi- mental company and other organiza- Stions and battery of artillery, al- Athough it is admitted that interest IS Nkeen over the situation. The military blue book for 1907 does not contain the four sections mentioned, the sec tions jumping from 3,OO4 to 3,01O. It Ms pointed out that the off1cering of the tnfantry commands of the state was #provided for in general orders from #he adjutant- generals office under &date of March 12, 1906 which in ef- Meet is a promulgation of the law, as ought HUI COHAOl WILL lllC .|hcts of the general assembly of the Ebrevious year. These orders set forth # hat the organization of the Nationa &Guard of Connecticut shall be under Heommand of brigadier general, .whose staff shall consist of one as- sistant adjutant-general, with rank of
 lieutenant colonel; one inspector, with rank of major; one judge-advocate with the rank of major; one quarter master, with the rank of major; one commissary, with rank of major; one #nspector of small arms practice, and ordnance officer, with rank of major; = two aides de camp, with rank of cap- tain, all to be nominated by the brig <bdier- general, who may also enlist the I Following:
 One trumpter, with the rank of ser &geant-major; two orderlies, with the rank of sergeant; two orderlies, with
 the rank of corporals.
 The brigadier- general is to be ap- 7 pointed by the governor, with consent
 of the senate
 The regjmental and battalion officers Rnd staff and non-commissioned staff
 shall be as follows
 For each regiment, one colonel, one : ieutenant-colonel, one adjutant (cap-
 ain), one quartermaster (captain), one ' #commissary (captain), one inspector of
 small arms practice (captain), and one | chaplain. The on-commissioned are
 to be: One sergeant-major, one quar-
 ermaster-sergeant, one commissary-
 sergeant, two olor-sergeants. For the
 battalion the officers shall be: One ma. &jor, one adjutant, one quartermaster. %one commissary and one sergeant-ma- #jor.
 T It is stated that the duties of the Especial board of officers which has just
 made a report to the effect that the *brigade organization was legislated out of existence, were to see if the organ
 zation of the National Guard, as set \ s.T7rth in the orders of March 12, 1908, conformed to the requirements of the #national law under the so-called Dick
 bill. It finds that there is no authority flor brigadier-general, as the Dick %bill does not provide for a brigade or- #ganization in the National Guard.
