 Every armory in Connecticut has a guard AdjutantGeneral George A. Cole said. We are guarding the eiate military property with selected men. and in the case of the State Armory in Hartford, we have sailors from the Second Division of the Naval NJ lita. The men are armed, the guns are loaded and bayonets are fixed
 General Co,e said that there were seventeen state armories in Conneeti- cut. In most of the small armories tae guard consisted of one soldier. The guards were picked men, he said, at the Hartford armory. four men .ood guard at the same time and there were two re iefs. The total number on active guard at any one time during the night throughout the state was between fifty CT sixty.
 Managers of factories in Hartford are giving attention to numaer Of considerations which have arisen in the past three days. as related to the German employees on their payrol's. of whom it may be said, there are three classes. The first is made up of men born here. or natuTasized. The second is made of men who have taken steps to be made citizen, but have not had time 10 take out papers; the third is made up Of men who have arrived recently and have little in common with Americans.
 II is known that there are num- bers of naval reservists hereabouts who were unable 10 return to their land There are also members of the crews of ships which have been interned. There are said to be em- ployed in factories here something between forty and fifty men from the steamship Vaterland. tied up at Ho- bOksn. this being the largest ship afost and one of her officers, Cap tain Alois Heiss!er. having repeated ly visited Hartford and been enter tained here
 The question arises as to what should be done with German em- ployes in the factories and especially If war actually comes. In that event the case is nearly identical with that in England, when Britain went into the world war. Near London large concentration camps were finally es- tablished, although. early in the con atct, many of the Germans in that city were allowed for q period 70 live in their own homes under re- strictions. which grew more rigid these restrictions, in the main. being requirements that they deposit photo graphs Of themselves and q specimen of their handwriting with the police and report twice a dav s+ the nearest police station.
