BOUND TO SERVE
Father of Charles T. Thaver Deter mined to Help Win the War for De- nocracy.

Attorney George B. Thayer. Hart ford, father of Charles T. Thayer. of Grove street, this city. is stirring things up over in the capital city to a member of some branch of the mili- tary service, he doesn't care which, so long as he gets chance to go.
 Relative to his case and his efforts to get into a Hartford company of the National Guard a paper of that city prints the following:
 Lieutenant Scarborough, at 1.3o this afternoon. reported that up to that time twenty -one new men had enlisted in the regiment today. Among those who made application was George B. Thayer. the local globe trotter, who has been making energetic efforts to get into some branch of the military service ever since the United States entered the war. He cannot remem- Der the exact number of times he has applied and been rejected. but thinks this is his seventh attempt. His ca SC will be referred to the war department a Boston
 Mir. Thaver's difficulty is that he is almost 64 years old, an age which tary duty. One of the regulations of the war department is, however. that there is no age restriction for any man who has served a previous enlistm ent regular army. MT. Thayer has served two enlistments in the National Guard and also in the Spanish war.
 The objection has been made that the guard was organized altogether differently when he was in the ranks and that his service in the war with Spain was as a volunteer. not as regular. it will be necessary to make queries from higher military au- thor1tIes than there are in Hartford.
 One of the hindrances to date has been that Mir. Thayer has been a frac- tion of an inch too short-ene thirty second. he clainls-hut now this re- striction has been modified and he is
