That in effect. is the way Colonel

Colonel Hall in his interview said
the position Of the regiment was in no
way ''bluf.'
This really is a crisis" he said.
I'VE are not acting without due re-
lection: in fact, we are not going to
act at all until after the summer en-
campment. We have promised the
men that camp and they shall have 1t.
But after that, unless we discover
that we really are wanted here in
Atlanta, we shall just apply to the
Governor for an honorable discharge,
before the National Government, its
attention drawn by insufficient num-
bars of enlisted men, shall give us a
dishonorable discharge"
But that wasn't all, by good deal.
Not Asking for Money.

said Colonel Hail. "One might linz
agine we could do this without i'm
