OPEN RECRUITING STATION.
Burlington Companies to Be Increased
to Normal Strength.

Burlington, April 2S.-Company M
Vermont National Guard, has opened a
recruiting station at the Armory on
Main street, which will be open each
evening for time, from 7 o'clock on.
Ten more men will probably be needed
to complete the company's quota. Mar
ried men are not wanted. The state au-
thorities have decided that no married
enlisted men shall be allowed to enter
the United States volunteer service,
whether they are now members of the
National Guard or not, unless they can
show that their families will be suitably
provided for. Married men who are al
ready enlisted will not be discharged at
the present time, but companies having
such men on their rolls will take that
fact into consideration in securing adj
ditional men.
Capt. G. c. Girard of the company has
an unusually well selected lot of men
and but few more will be needed.
Adit- General Lee S. Tillotson has
sent circular to the commanders of the
several companies that all companies
will be Immediately recruited to at least
5S and not more than 90 enlisted men.
Sergeant G. j. Steele, u. S. A., will
meet the officers of company M this
evening for instruction and the enlisted
men tomorrow night.
In the meanwhile company is being
recognized as student body at the
University of Vermont
