REGULAR ARMY GETS. MORE APPLICANTS

National Guard Also Has Numer-
 ous Prospective Recruits COMPANY E CAMPS IN PARK Company Street Is Daad Out in Wal nut Hill Park and Soldiers Will En- camp Here Until Called Out of City, Maybe Next Week.
 That New Britain's campaign for the regular army and National Guard ts really more encouraging than was indicated at last nights rally in the Grammar school hall. when not a single man stepped forth from the crowd to volunteer, Is shown by the morning report of Corporal Clifford J. Boudouin. U. s. A.. recruiting for the regulars In Central Park. Since the | rally and up to II o'clock this morn Ing Corporal Boudouin had received applications for enlistment from nine men, making total of 35 men who have applied since Tuesday. Corporal Bouuouin expects more recruits to- night, and tomorrow, he thinks, will be . banner day for enlistme ents, inasmuch as he believes that many men. upon completing their weeks work at the factories. will decide to respond to the presidents call for TO- 900 volunteers.
 Recruits continue to apply for en- listment in the National Guard and, while they have not flocked to the standard in large numbers. the re- sponse is not discouraging. Since last night about 20 mon have applied for enlistment in Companies D, F, or I and this number of men appeared at the armory this morning for exam 1nation and remained there awaiting the arrival of the examining surgeon. The National Guard omcers also look forward to more recruits this evening and tomorrow. having been assured by number of young men that as soon as they are paid of tomorrow at the factories they will enlist.

 Now that the entire membership | of Company E, with the exception of . detail out on recruiting duty, has 1 been withdrawn from outpost duty l and brought back to the State Armory on Arch street. the soldiers gre once l more stationed in their home town, l awaiting the final call which will sum-
 mon them to camps for intensive l training preparatory to active fight l ing. This afternoon Lieutenant Ash
 ley J. Griffin, commanding Company E, issued orders for the men to pack up their belongings at the armory and to prepare to move. At his orders a permanent company camp has been
 set up in Walnut Hill park and here the men will remain encamped until
 ordered out of New Britain. It is
 expected that this order, may be re-
 ceived next week.

 squad tents have been pitched. Fron'
 now on the men will live in this camp
 Until Monday they will mess at the
 armory, but beginning next week the cooking tent will also be located in
 the park and then the men will have their meals there too. This move is a most popular one and follows closely similar moves in other cities where the soldiers have been withdrawn | from the armories and permitted tc encamp in parks. From now on Lieu.
 tenant Grifiin proposes to give his men
 steady and persistent drilling in the
 open. This morning the entire com. pany was put through a strenuous
 drill at the armory Now that tho period of guard duty has passed 1t is |~the idea of the regimental officers tc have the men become perfected in al | sorts of military drills, tactics and maneuvers and to this end they will ! receive constant training. The order ol
 routine 1t the camp in the park will
 be the same as that observed in reg.
 ulation duty. Retreat will be sounded
 each night, followed by taps. and thu
 boys will be aroused by reveille ir
 the morning The place will be guard ed by outpoats and sentries as is the
 case when @encamped in an enem,
 country.
 The general health of Company E
 is excellent. There is only one mar
 seriously i'll. He is Private Alber
 Jennings who was removed to tht
 military hospital at Fort Grebble, Et l., several weeks ago for an operation
