GOVERNOR WILL VISIT
 TROOPS AT NiANTlC
Will Be There Battle"
 Will Be Fought Thursday.

Governor Baldwin it was announced Friday will go to the state camp at Mantle on Wednesday of next week when the First and Second regiments will be under canvass there. It is ex- pected that he will stay ever night, returning to New Haven some time Thursday
 As this is the first camp here since '1911 it Is expected to be of more than usual interest
 The five Hartford companies of the First infantry, c. N. G., with the san itary troops and the Hartford detach- ment of the First company, Signal corps. will leave Hartford for the an nual tour of duty in the field at $50 a. m. Monday. The troop train will run special direct to Mantle where tho camp has already been pitched
 The men will go to camp in full field equipment, carrying their blanket rolls and shelter halves for use when manent camp for manoeuvre work late in the week. No dress or full dress uniforms figure in this party. The di- Verting, albeit somewhat diStracting old days of white collars and cere- monies, with all the organized militia marching past the governor and all the equally organized politicians drill ing energetically around state head quarters are far in the past. This will be a flannel shirt and campaign hat party with the rebellious entrenching tool belaboring the hip and the dim inutive dog tent looking like a haven of rest
 For the first time in several years the First and Second infantry will be encamped at Mantle simultaneously. They served together, along with the First Maine, in Colonel Cowles pro- icin info otV~u y.ic I7a manoeuvres last summer. but the re- cent policy of the state as far as Mantle has been concerned has fa- vored regimental camps. Two years ago the First went to the Mantle res ervation on the week folloNin the Seconds tour of duty.
 There are to be other novelties in this years encampment, too. Hith- erto the field work has consisted largely of advance and rear guard ex- erciSes, outpost duty and the like. Much blank ammunition has been shot into the horizon and no little valuable experience gained. But it is believed that the guard has learned this part of its lesson, just as it has learned to take care of itself in the open, san itate it's camps, cook it's own food and otherwise behave itself in the fashion of soldiery This time it Is proposed to place emphasis upon exercises in combat. The officers will have an op- portunity to show how they conduct themselves in attack. Five officers of the regular army will be in attendance to watch them, three including Lieut.. Townsend WheIen. Twenty ninth in- fantry, U. s. A.. the regular inspector instructor detailed with the Connect icut regim serving with the in fantry, one with the sanitary troops and one with the Signal corps.
 The men will sleep in the new con- ical khaki colored tents, which can shelter a whole squad, and which were used for the first time two years ago. Their meals will be prepared by the regularly enlisted cooks of which each company carries two. On Thursday it is expected that the troops will move out of camp in heavy marching order, bivouacking for the night in such To- cation as the tide of the battle may force. There will be some interesting clashes with an indicated or repre- sented enemy. Perhaps it may be de- cided to have the two regiments do battle with each other. They will re- turn to the Mantle camp on Friday.
 Brig. Gen. George M. Cole, the ad- jutant general, will be in command of the camp with Col. ". E. F. Lan- ders, assistant adjutant general, as ad : iutant. Col. Hickey will be senior line officer present, outranlSing Colonel McCabe, commanding the Second.
