Six New Non-CommisHioncd
Officers Appointed at
Regular Meeting
ENCAMPMENT PLANS
NEARLY COMPLETED
Stores May Close on Date of
Encampment; New Re
cruits Come to Drill
With the appointment of six new
non-commissioned officers, some verv
realistic skirmish drills and the de
velopment of encampment plans, Al
bany's Home Guard company last
nik'ht had one of the most interesting
and successful meetings since iu or
ganization. leading businessmen sprawling
face-downward on the Ontral school
grounds and firing from a prone po
sition at an imaginary foe, furnished
entertainment for a big crowd of
sectators at the drill ground last
night. The company was getting its
first experience "advancing by rush
es" and to see some of the city's prom
inent men throwing themselves about
jn the ground was worth while. Thev
all scorned to enjoy it, however, and
the drill was extremely interesting for
participants-ssrtt ipactatora alilta- .
The company last night developed
plans for its Labor Day encampment.
It is preparing to spend one day and
night on an encampment somewhere
near the city in order to get practical
experience in guard duty and also in
some maneuvers. A number of the
businessmen who belong to the com
pany are discussing arrangements to
try and have all business houses of
the city close on Labor lay to give
the members of the company an op
portunity to enjoy this practical work.
At last night's meeting a committee
consisting of John M. French, D. S.
Holloway and Russell Cott was named
to interview the businessmen in this-
matter. At last night's meeting
t aptam Hallack announced the ap
pomtment of six new corporals. The
men named are J. O. Summers, E. A.
Snell, Roy W. Suiting, I. A. McDow
ell, Roy O. Uushong and Charles Goet
tling. These promotions make the
complete list of the officers of the
company now as follows:

J. C. Irvine, cashier of the First

recruit Inst night. A number of new
members nre being received, as the
officers want to hnve the company nt
full strength before the Labor Dav
encampment. There nre a few vacan
cies in the company now because some
members have gone into railroad or
shipyard work, which hns taken them
from the city, and the officers snid
today thnt uniforms nre available for
the first five or six men who join the
company now anj become proficient
in the drill.
There nppenrs to be incrensed inter

because of n recent announcement
thnt nil men of drnft nge will be re
quested by the government to secure
some military training. Men called
to camp under the drnft who have had
some drill nlways win appointments as
corporals or sergeants which not onlv
means more pay, but more privileges
than are enjoyed by privates. So for
