The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-01-03

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-established and main talned 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 thF I and which are least likely to be @ d on for active duty in time of F zee and by discharging men who cannot continue to give military ser vice without greater hardship and sacrifice than can reasonably be re- qulred of them in present circum- stances. These considerations have made it necessary to select organiza- tlons without regard to relative merit and without respect to their patriotic
 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- tive militia of the state, known as the Home Guard and designated the Connecticut state guard or Connecti- | cut state guard reserve, on January r, 1919"
