"The existing suspension of hostili- ties in the war with Germany and the expectation that the end will soon be fixed upon terms dictated by the United States and our Allies and that normal conditions of peace are about to be re-estabGshed and main tained in this state make it possible and desirable to reduce the present strength of the Connecticut home guard This should be effected by dis continuing certain organizations which are so located that it will be difficult to keep up their membership and attendance at drills and to care properly for state property issued to them and which are least likely to be , called on for active duty in time of tpeace and by dtscharging men who cannot continue to give military ser vice without greater hardship and sacrifice than can reasonably be re- qutred of them in present ctrcum1 stances. These considerations have made 1t necessary to select organiza-
 tons without regard to relative merit
 and without respect to their patriotic I spirit and the faithful performance of their duties at all times and in all conditions. Accordingly the following ] units will be mustered out of the ac- 1 tive militia of the state, known as i the Home Guard and designated the 1 Connecticut state guard or Connecti- 1 cut state guard reserve, on January r, 1919."
