BANGOR BATTERY
Fine Showing Made at
Federal Inspection
This Unit Of MilIiken Regiment Heavy
Artillery Now Has IT'S Men Sworn
into oervies--Fivs More Than Full
War Strength

Bangor, July 1s.-The Bangor bat
terry Of the Milliken Regiment Of
Heavy Field Artillery came to the
front Tuesday night and surpassed all
other batteries in the state at the
federal inspection. conducted by Capt.
Harold E. MARI, L. S. A. The re-
duired number necessary for the in
spection was 100 and although the bat
terry was called together Is minutes
earlier than had been originally plan
ned there were 155 men present when
175 men sworn into service In this
battery, FIVE more than the number
required to bring the battery up to its
war strength number.
Tuesday was record breaking day
for enlistments and one that will not
be forgotten for some time. The Of
ficers Of the Bangor battery were kept
busy all day enrolling the many men
who signed up in addition to the dele
cation which came from Rockland on
Tuesday evening.
Tuesday night in the armory Capt.
MARI inspected the battery and Col A.
r. Balentine of Portland and Capt.
Howard E. Beedy of Portland. regi-
mental adiutant. were also present.
Capt. Mari appeared to be pleased with
the showing made and Col. Balentine
was very much pleased and urged the
Bangor men to continue the good work.
Will Continue to Recruit
The officers of the local battery will
continue to recruit men for this organ
ization although the war strength num-
Der has been reached. This will be
necessary as many of the men in the
company will be transferred to the head
quarters company and the supply COM
pany. These are two of the most i'm
portant departments in the regiment
and many of the best men in each bat
terry will be placed in these companies.
These two departments are under the
direct supervision the greater part of
the time Of the resimental field officers
and the opportunities offered are many.
Some allowance will have to be made
also for those men who for any. rea son
might fail later to pass federal physi-
cal examination.
