GEN. COLE RELATES
 ORGANIZATION PLAN

Hartford, Feb. 27.-The 102d Infantry, the 1O1st Machine Gun Bat talion. the 1O3d Field Artillery and the 101st Am bulance Section, units of the 18th Division, in which Connec- ticut troops served with such con- spicuous valor, will have their place in the new 26th Division which is 10 be formed from the New England National Guard troops now being Ia ised. This was the announcement today by Adjutant-General Cole in telling of the War departments an- nounced plan of National Guard or ganization.
 $500 Men Needed.
 The formation of these National Guard units in Connecticut. as we'll as 6 companies of coast artillery and a squadron of cavalry, calls for 3 National Guard of $500 men. Under the provisions of the National De- fense Act of 1916, the state now is authorized to raise one battalion of infantry, two troops of cavalry, 8 bat tery of field artillery and an ambu- lance company, an enlisted strength totalling 1,400. The state is to in crease the strength of this guard by TOO men each year until the maxi mum of $500 is reached Of the four companies of infantry now authorized, two are being raised in Hartford and two in New Haven. The number of Infantry officers will be increased year by year, and out of this developm ent will come the new 102d Infantry.
 Separate Infantry Battalions.
 It is probable that separate bat talion of infantry will also be author ized sometime in the near future, this command to be changed into the new 101st Machine Gum Battalion as soon as the details for machine gun bat talions in the new army organization scheme are definitely settled. A cav reached it's full enlisted strength and one in New Haven has been almost as successful. Progress has been made in the forming of coast artillery companies in New London, Norwich and Norwa1k. Branford has raised 2 gratifying number of men for a field artillery battery and Bridgeport is soon to complete organization Of an am bulance company.
 When the full strength of $500 men is reached, Connecticut will have as National Guard troops:
 One regiment of infantry, one squadron of cavalry, one battalion or field artillery, 16 companies of coast artillery, four machine gun com- panies, four ambulance companies and possibly some headquarters troops.
