ENLISTING MEN

Belgian reservists are today the
busiest Of all the would-be warriors
In Detroit. They will leave tonight
for New York city, whence they will
sail for Belgium on the aderland OF
the Red Star line, Saturday morning
Theophile Francois, consul for the
Belgian government here, received
word, Wednesday, both from the
country's ambassador In Washington
and from the general consul In New
York. The message from Washing
ton notified him to furnish all re-
seryists with railway tickets to the
nearest port with vessels sailing for
Belgium. The one from the general
consul gave information as to the
departure Of the aderland and the
provision made for sending the re-
servists on 1t.
The troops will leave at 6:15
o'clock on the Michigan Central rail-
road. A special car has been char
tered for the party which numbers
about $50. Many applications for
passage we're made to the consul
Thursday morning, by men who are
not reservists, but he declined to
send them since his orders do not
authorize IT, Considerable confusion
was caused by the fact that there are
two ships with almost the same
names, the aterland which belongs
to the Hamburg American line and
the aderland of the Red Star line. II
is on the Red Star line boat that the
Belgians expect to sail.
The confusion was added TO by the
fact that Mr. Francois received no
tice from the Red Star line not to
sell tickets on the aderland; that II
would not sail. Later he got word
from the general consul to send the
men on and that arrangements had
been made for their passage on the
vaterland. Mr.. Francois is acting In
accordance with the orders Of the
general consul,
