and tluit when they enlistcd and went
into the army the government paid
4 francs a day. which they had been
receiving. for the support of fellr
wives and children while they were in
the service. The English government
passed a conscription act a few Weeks
ago and put the married men into a
separate class from' the single men.
and did not send out the call for the
married men who had families de-
pendent upon them Intll the. quota of
single men was exhausted. Then they .
mode a provision for the families of
the married men while they were in

very mat hardship for many of the
men who sm'members of the Nation-
oi Guard to be called away from their
usual vocations, and have no compem
nation except the army pay of $15 a
month. This is u very critical situa-
tion for the National Guard.
"1 do not speak with particular ref-
erence to Connecticut, for my under-
