Galveston, Tex, March 1O.--With one-third of the brigade troops to be concentrated here on the ground and tae remaining two-thirds enroute here on transports from Newport News, the army's invasion of Galveston in the pseudo war game" may be said to be well under way.
 Brigadier General A. L. Mills, who will command the troops, arrived to- day from Atlanta, accompaniedw by his two aides, and took up temporary headquarters in the new hospital building at Fort Crockett. He an ncunced. however, that he intended to go into camp with the soldiers as soon as his tents arrived. Colonel George T. Bartlett, of Atlanta, nas been designated chief of staff to Gen eral Mills and Captain C. O. Sherrill of Mobile has been appointed chief engineer
 Eleven of the companies of coast artillery arr ved during the day or soon after nightfall, completing the first provisional regiment which is to be commanded by Colonel C. J. Bailey, assistant to the chief of artillery at Washington. Colonel Bailey reached Galveston tas~ morning. The compa- nies arriving were as follows
 Seventy fifth, Ninety ninth and One Hundred and Seventieth from Fort Morgan, Ala.
 Seventy second. Seventy fourth and One Hundred and Twenty-sevenih from Fors lScriven. Ga.
 Fifteenth and Twenty fifth from Fort Barraneas. Fla.

 The two other regiments of coast artillery to be mobilized here as in' fantry have been recruited from northern pests. The twenty four com panies should reach Galveston within five days.
 The scout cruiser Salem, which ar rived off Galveston Bar last night after a fast run from Pensacola, re- mained at anchor outside the harbor all day. To newspaper men who were permitted to beard the vessel, Com mander George R. Evans declared that he was awaiting further orders from the navy department. He de- clared himself to be ignorant as to the whereabouts of the Salem's sister ship, the Chester. which sailed from Pensacola at the same time. A re- port became current in Galveston tais afternoon that the Salem was to go to Tampico, Mexico. to do blockade duty in furtherance of President Taft's plan to stop filibustering. There was no confirmation O this report, how ever.
 Camp Crockett today began to take on the appearance of a real ar my camp with brown tents springin 5 up like mushrooms all over the gov ernment reservation tl,out twenty men of each company were given lib- erty this evening after being severe " cautioned by their commanding of- ficers to return to the camp before 10.45 tonight and to engage in no dis orderly conduct.
 One captain went so far in this direction as to give liberty only to men who never had been convicted of misdemeanor during their military careers. When he had exhausted his eligible list he discovered that his liberty party was four short of the number turned loose from tiae other companies. He solved tbe problem by permitting the 'iDeligibles" to draw for places on the squad, the four highest winning. The competition was close but all four aces were drawn.
 The soldiers who have arrived ex- press themselves as delighted with tho camp site although all of them seem eager to move If there is any pros pect of scrap
