IN JUSTICE TO THE BATTERY

It Is difficult to understand the attitude OF the federal authon-
ties in regard to the regiment of field artillery which New Jersey,
along with other states, was requested to raise at the beginning OF
the war. This regiment, of which Battery Z of Perth Amboy is a
unit, has been fully equipped by the federal government, excepting
foi the guns, and was recently ordered to Sea Grt for fifteen days
for intensive training.
The boys were put through a training in those fifteen days that
ordinarily takes three months. 1t was about the most strenuous
fifteen days that they ever experienced. Federal officers were on
hand to instruct them, and there was every indication that federal
recognition was about to be given. In fact, everyone expected that
at the expiration of the fifteen days, the regiment would be ordered
to some national training camps preparatory to going to France.
But the regiment has been sent back home. Members of Bat
terry e arrived in Perth Amboy early Monday morning and there is
nothing definite as to the future. To say that the disappointment
is keen is putting it mildly. This disappointment is shared by the
people of the city. There has been much pride in the raising of this
battery here and all would like to see it give a good account of
itself.
AT a time like this, when the government is extending the draft
age 81 s to include all men from eighteen to forty-fve in order to get
more men for the army in France, it is hard to understand why this
regiment of capable young men, most of them within the original
draft age, is permitted to remain out of the service. Here are a
thousand or more soldiers already Differed and equipped ready and
anxious to go, yet, for some reason, they are sde-tracked.
IN all fairness, the government ought to either accept them and
put them in training or it should dismiss them and permit them to
enlist elsewhere or go in the draft.
