MILITIAMEN READY
 FOR CAMP PERIOD
Guardsmen to Entrain for DeyanS Early Tomorrow

Due to the fact that the national guard division headquarters has is- sued orders that only staff officers will be allowed automobiles when the troops leave for camp tomorrow morning, it is probable that almost 100 per cent of the 149 New Britain guardsmen will entrain for Camp Devens for the two weeks training.
 The train will leave the New Brit am railroad station shortly after 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and it is probable that it will not reach Aver, Mass, the destination, until the lat ter part of the afternoon. When the train arrives in New Britain it will have picked up Bristol. Middletown and Meriden soldiers. The next stop after New Britain will be Willi- mantle, and then the units will go on a nonstop ride to the camp grounds. The companies will pro- vide light lunches on the way and after the boys arrive in camp they will sit down 10 a hot meal.
 Chefs Leave Today
 To make it certain that everything will be ready for the mess which the hungry guardsmen will eat, the staff Of cooks from the various regiments left for camp today. New Britain will have four cooks, two first and two second kitchen experts. Big Sam" Sayad will be in charge and the other first cook is Sergeant George Unwin. Leo Crosby, Sayad s assistant of last year, and Conrad Lindelof, second cook for Co. I last year will again be in the kitchen. The head mess sergeant Joseph Bar rett, was in the automobile that left today
 It is not expected that the guards will become accustomed to the grind Of camp until after the first week end. The first two days in camp will probably be spent in getting settled. On account of the large number of troops from Maine, Vermont Rhode Island and Connecticut it is not likely that the boys will settle down as quickly as the 169th regiment did iL Mantle last year
 Eagerly Await Camp Period
 Last night the packs were rolled for the last time and the boys are looking forward to the trip with keen anticipation. Although there are two weeks of military drills, hikes and manelvers there will be plenty of time for fun. The boys will be together more this year than they were in Mantle. In that place there were plenty of opportunities for salt water bathing, dances, and nightly trips to New London. At Camp Devens the only town nearby Is Aver, small village which offers nothing but quiet country life. The boys will probably make their own fun in camp. New Britain's 150 guardsmen will be in the same bar racks and when a group as large as this get together it probably won't be as quiet as a class room in school.
 Sickness Spells Record
 Company 1 will not have its 100 per cent attendance in camp due to sickness of two Of it's members. Private Alonzo B. Butler is at the New Britain General hospital, where he is undergoing treatment, and Private Sam r. Neneziano is under the care Of physician. A rather un- fortunate angle 10 this is the fact that two very good prospects for places in the company had to be put on the waiting list because the com pany has its 6 limit on the rolls. The two prospects are Russell Walsh Of 256 Elm street and George Graz lavich of 273 Elm street
 Company Clerk Retires
