 SPIRIT MOVERS ABOUT ARMORY State Institution a Busy Place With Bustle Caus-
 ed By War Danger. FORMER MILITIAMEN RUSHING TO RE-ENLIST Local Officers of c. A. c. Have Received No Word
 For Mobilization.

Local officers of the Coast Artillery Corps have received no word for mo- bilization outside of the orders to pro ceed for the joint manoeuvres at Fort Wright. It is known, however, that | two companies of the regular Coast Artillery at the fort have received or ders to proceed as infantry and join the guard at the Texas border and the other officers of the other two compa- nies have received orders to prepare to leave for field of duty at short mo- | tice.
 Two companies at Fort Terry have ben ordered to the Hawaiian Islands. Tn view of this situation offcS-<o of the local battalion believe that the Con necttcut Coast Artillery corps will be kept at Fort Wright after the sIRnrner tour of duty ends on July L Members of the local companies who had been excused from attending the manoeuvres because of pressing bus mess or for other causes, are report ing to their company commanders and the armory is a busy place these days The report that the companies may be kept on duty at the island forts and later called for service along the bor- der or in Mexico has brought the re- enlistment of many former miIttiamen and it is quite likely that every com pany will go to camp with full ranks. The baggage of the companies was
 
 and left Bridgeport early today. Those in charge were QuarterInaster Ser geant Harry Johnson of the Fourth company, Quartermaster Sergeant Robert Lewis of the Second company, | Quartermaster Sergeant Ralph Smith, geant Wilham~~Dixon with the band and hospital corps baggage.
