MILITIA UNIT
To END Soon
That Is Outlook In South AM
boy---NotIoe Received AS
to Inspections
Ru speolnl corresnondent.

6U Special COTTGSDOnQcnr.
SOUTH AMBOY, July 30:-Com-
manding officers of the different units
Of the State Militia of the Third Bat
TALON have received notice to con-
duct inspections of their company
and its equipment before September.
This is thought to be the first step In
the mastering out of the militia,
which will be replaced with National
Guard. The militia was organized in
this city by Edwin c. Roddy.A Tho
first large contingent was sworn into
service in the City Hall On the night
of October s, 1917, by Lieut.. Col.
Patterson, inspector of the state. At
that time E. T. Farouat was elected
first lieutenant and B.. r. Ravens was
elected second lieutenant. When the
company was recruited up to Its full
strength (75) Mr.. Farouat was elect
ed captain and Edwin G. Roddy was
elected first lieutenant.
After nearly a years service under
these officers Capt. Farouat resigned
his commission to enter the service
the company was without a captain
and Edwin c.. Roddy acted as COM
manding officer. At the time of the
| Morgan explosion the company was
still without a captain. However,
soon after that tour of duty an cleo
ton was conducted which resulted in
the election of Roddy as captain
and moving Lieut.. Havens up to the
next highest position. George Hass-
lacher was elected to fill the vacancy
in the position of second lieutenant.
There is little chance of the local
| company being taken into the ma
tional guard as there is no armory
| in this city and never was an organ
ization of the guard" here. The
men of the company are very much
| dissatisfied at the way the state has
| used them and 1t is unlikely that
many of them would reenlist. They
have not had the support of the state
to the extent that they should, mat
tiers going from bad to worse. AS a
| climax to the whole thing came the
| encampment this summer which
| caused q great deal of dissatisfaction,
