 Soldiers at Odd With Mayor. Due to misunderstanding between Sergeant Ogren and the other soldiers and Mayor G. A. Quigley, there has been some feeling of animosity be- tween the soldiers and the city off, cials until this morning when the mayor explained his position to Lieu tenant Harris. Quite rightly the mayor forbade any automobiles in the parade and this included the recruitzz ing car. The soldiers also stated that Mayor Quigley refused to permit them to follow the parade in their recruit ing car., but they did so notwith standing. Another grievance of the soldiers is that the parade officials re-
 
 be carried in the parade. Lieutenant Griffin, however, thanks the various organizations who were willing to do this, and especially thanks the Terney Cadets who did carry recruiting signs despite the order not to. Lieutenant Griffin likewise thanks C. l.. Barnes for the use of his automobile yester- day and makes plea for other pa- .A,ns~ piles on various days. Company F has no funds with which to hire a car and one is needed to attend to the routine work. If car owners who would loan their machine for a day at a time cannot furnish a driver there are several capable chauffeurs. in the company. The company would furnish all gasoline and oil.
 Mayor Makes Explanation.
 Lieutenant Harris states that when he was refused permission to carry recruiting advertising in the parade 1t was explained that there was to be no advertising allowed in the process sion. yet he noticed, he states that Doherty's grocery was well advertised as was Keeney's theater. This morn ing, in conversation with Lieutenant Harris, Mayor Quigley explained his position relative to the misunderstood ing of yesterday. clarifying the situa- tion considerably. The mayor ex- plained that the purpose of the parade was not for recruiting, but as g. pa triotic demonstration and therefore he did not think it proper to have re- cruiting officers ride in the procession in automobiles. He furthermore de- clares that he advised Sergeant Ogren that he could count on him for com plete cooperation in securing enlist ments and he promised the officer to meet him in his office in city hall inn after the parade when he would make arrangements with the various theaters to permit the re- officers to address the audi ences with their pleas for recruits between the acts. The mayor also said he promised to accompany the sergeant and make recruiting plea if it was so desired
 Expects Draft Soon.
 Recruiting continues at the state and all applicants are sent to Hartford again for final examina. tion and mastering. Lieutenant Grif- fin stated this morning: We are not going to make any further campaign. While we will accept all who apply for enlistment, we will make no special effort to secure recruits as we are sure the draft law will be in ef- feet by the first of the month";
 Following the exercises on the green late yesterday Lieutenant Har- ris, in charge of full complement of twenty regulars, each man fully armed, marched down from the and conducted retreat exer- cises. The Philharmonic band played the Star Spangled Banner while the soldiers lowered the flag with all mill itary fornality. The exercise was an impressive one. For the time being Company B men will have charge of raising and lowering the flag at morning and evening.
