cial.)-Six troops of the cavalry regi-

the federal service. The members of

1t is expected that by the end or
this week all troops will have been
mustered and passed through the phys
ical tests. They will then be ready for
their personal equipment, such as uni
forms, arms and other paraphernalia.

soldiers will be retained.
Pending the gradual development or
the regiment into an efficient mill
tary body the men in the various
troops are being carried daily through
a course of rudimentary training which
has hardened them up since their ar
rival in Montgomery.
The troops so far mustered are those
from Birmingham, Greenville, Mont
gomery, Elba and Jasper. Those which
have undergone physical examinations
include the two Birmingham troops
and Greenville and Elba.
