GUN COMPANY TO START TRAINING

The third meeting of the Machine Gun Company, 8th Infantry, will be held at the Cambridge Armory on Friday evening at 8 o'clock. The first instructions for the men will be given at this meeting. All men in the University who are interested may attend and those men who have joined the company should make a point of being present.

This movement to form a machine gun company has had remarkable success. At the first meeting over 60 men reported, many of whom have signified their intention of joining. The War Department originally intended to have the companies the same size as a platoon--25 men--but has since decided to make them separate and of the strength of infantry companies. This order will probably go into effect shortly. The Governor of Massachusetts and other state officials have taken considerable interest in the project and special privileges have been granted.
