COMPANY HAS
INITIAL DRILL

At the first regular drill after mus
ter, held last night, Captain Paul Wey-
rauch of Company K, announced sew
eral non commissioned officers. The
list follows:
First sergeant, George ]. Dougherty;
quarter master sergeant, Charles A.
Nutting; sergeants in order of rank,
Erick Ulstrum, Charles T. Mccain,
Dewalt Elrod and Everett A. Allen;
corporals in order of rank, Harvey Ry-
an, Charles B. Whitney, Trumpeter
James w. Mccoy and artificer, Edward
M. E. Cartwright. There are still four
additional corporals, one trumpeter
and one artificer to be appointed and
these will very likely be announced
at a near date. The next regular drill
will be held Thursday.
The company has rented the entire
top floor of the armOry building and
if Captain Weyrauch is able to carry
out his plans the armory will be well
arranged The hall will remain as it
is while one room will be partitfOned
off for the commanding officers. This
room will open into a small hall which
will give access to the drill floor or the
is opposite the hall This room is
large and will open directly into the
room for the privates. In the pri-
Yates room the lockers and gun racks
are to be built, and the contract for
this will probably be let today. Doors
lead into two separate rooms from
the privates' quarters. One of these
rooms is to be used for a store room
and the other for kitchen. These
improvements will cost approximately
$500 and the bill will be borne by the
state. Captain Weyrauch announced
last night that the privates' room
would be open at all times for the men
and large tables on which magazines
and newspapers will be kept, will be
purchased. The regular drill nights
will be Monday and Thursday nights
until the March inspection. The men
were measured for uniforms last night.

With regard to the house of lords,
Mr.. Asquith said he hoped the upper
