Six Greeks living in Burlington
have sailed for Greece to answer to
the call of their. country to arms,
and more will follow. Other towns
in the st tie are being deserted by
the Greeks. From Rutland ii have
gone, and from Bellows Falls 27.
has sent 500, and another
500 have gone from points in Mass
achusetts. Besiue the Greeks, Ca
are on the way, including
a few women. Those who left Bur-

There is what seems to be we'll
founded rumor that the Tenth cav
airy, which has been stationed at
Fort Ethan Allen since July 1909,
will be transferred in January to
Fort Riley, Kansas, and the Fifth
regiment of cavalry, which is now
n Honolulu, assigned to this post.
Tho reason for the transfer, if it
comes about, is that the regiments
now stay at a post for several years
md the officers, instead of the en-
ire regiment, are transferred for
'oreign service. There is no terri
DRY for recruiting negroes and Fort +
Riley for that reason is considered
1 more desirable post for the regi-
nent.
