the new armory has been made by
Colonel Arthur Coyne, commanding
the 1st infantry. When the building
is entirely completed the companies
will sbe we'll fixed with a large store
room in the basement, an assembly
and arm room on the main floor, and
locked room above. Only five sets
have been finished as yet, though, and
it is necessary for the companies to
double up, without having the use of
the basement store rooms, which are
unfinished. This will mean some
crowding, but it is hoped that the
| 100000 or Whereabouts needed to
completely finish and equip the ar
mory will be available before very
long.
Colonel Coyne's arrangement puts
the LIST battalion. on the Eva side of
the building, and the second on the.
Waikiki side. Company A has the
first upper room on the left, count
ing from the main entrance, with
Company C below it. B has the upper
room on the second set, with D below.
On the right of the entrance, Company
K has the first lower room, with F
above Company H has both floors
of the next set. Company G has the
lower floor of the mauka set, and
Company E the upper room. The
reason for assigning two rooms to H
is that it is the. intention of the mill
tia authorities to recruit this company
up to $50 and divide it into two or
carnations. which will then divide the
quarters.

The companies of the LIST infantry
will not move into their new quarters
in the armory for some days, as the
rooms have still to be painted, and the
furniture anu lockers put in. When
the companies move, the arm racks
will be bolted to the floor, as provided
by regulations. AS soon as the lock-
ers are installed, the men viii be re-
uuired to keep their uniforms and
equipment at the armory. and Will
not be allowed to leave the building
wearing any portion of their uniform.

February %. The guardsmen, how
ever, will not be able to turn out with
leather waist belts and cartridge
boxes, the regiment being shy on this
part of the equipment. The men will
wear the web cartridge belts instead.
