COMPANY C 1Q5TH MACHINE GUN BAT TALION. The merging of Troop C and M. G. Troop of old Squadron A, has at last been com pleted and the ranks have been filled to war strength as called for under the new regulations for Machine Gun Companies. Tw en ty . new recruits were brought in from the 47th of Brooklyn. The spirit with which these neve recruits have been received by the old men of the Company, and the manner in which the new men have themselves entered into their new duties, has been very gratifying. That is one of the tests of a good soldier. To give up those things which he dislikes to give up, whether it be friends, or associa tions, or comforts, and to accept without murmur such duties, such fellowship, such burdens as- m ay fall to Ms lot. n V1SK on r It is understood that Captain Whitney will return the early part of next week from his mission to New York, In the meantime, Lieut.
