WAR CALL TO GUARD
Is EXPECTED TO-DAY
Commanders Of New York
Forces Wait in ArmOries
for Orders.
PREPARATIONS ALL MADE
Says Horses
and Mules Only Are Needed
for Movement.

The commanding officers of the Ma
tion.l Guard organizations in this city
were at their armories last night. pre-
sunaby under instructions waiting for
the expected order from Washington or
Albany to mobilize preparatory to going
into camp or embarking for Mexico.
No orders for the guardsmen to mobilize
were received during the day. but 1t was
generally understood that the officers ex-
pected word at any time and were at their
headquarters TO carry into effect orders
they were almost certain would come as
soon as Congress acted on the Presidents
recommended tons
Word was passed late yesterday after
noon that Col. Clarence =. Wadsworth OF
the Twelfth Infantry. which will be one
OF the first Manhattan regiments to take
the field II the Guard IL called upon. mad
been ordered to come to the city from
Middetown. Conn, where he has been
staying for the last few days. 1t was
headquarters night in most of the armo-
ries. but there was unusual activity ard
a tense feeling among the officers and
men.
1t was said at all the regimental head
quarters that all advance preparations
had been made weeks ago and that rosters
of officers and men had been gone over
with view to finding out Just how many
guardsmen could be depended upon for
service in case OF emergency. The married
men are to be eliminated and a physical
examination in the armories will exclude
many more. although the organizations
are up to high standard.
Col. X. Foster Walton. Adjutant-Gen-
eral under Major-Gen, John F. Organ,
field commander of the New York Ma
tional Guard. said yesterday afternoon
that he WAS still waiting to hear from
Washington as to a possible movement of
the guardsmen from this State. He re-
peated his belief that the States 5000
men could be mustered within "A day or
two at the most. He pointed out, how
ever, that before the entire divisions
equipment and supplies could be moved 1t
would be necessary to secure about 6, 900
mules and 5000 horses for the cavalry,
artillery and ordnance and commissary
wagons.
Although without orders the guards
men were OF the opinion yesterday that
in case of war the State troops would be
called upon at once to supplement the
regular forces. 1t Is believed that after
mobilization they Will go into camp near
by, probably ut some Long Island or New
Jersey point, for few weeks before en-
tra!nment or transportation to Mexico.
Major Monsoon Morris Of the Twelfth
Infantry Regiment announced last night
that his organization would start re-
cruiting TO its full war strength to-day.
" Il IL impossible to raise the organiZa-
tlon's full complement by ordinary means
money is available. he said. to establish
recruiting stations In vacant stores and
other places throughout the city.

ALL TALK, so FAR

The story in the Banner this morn
ing of new city hall on the lot OPP
posite the Coast Line station, is all
talk so far. Whatever may come of
the matter in the future, it :. is all
problematical now and the article
was premature.
Mr.. Harry Clarkson, president of
the Marion Hardware Company,
when interviewed this morning by a
Star reporter, was very angry at the
unauthorized publication of an arti-
Gle very embarrassing to his company
and without any foundation, except
little offhand talk.
There is nothing of record to show
that the city has either bargained to
buy one of the properties or sell the
other, and as far as either transac-
ton has progressed, is talk among
the members of the council and not
embraced in the minutes of that
! body.
The city's portion of the story
might be a good thing under certain
conditions, but it will take from
$4,000 to 100000 to carry out the
| plan. This money can only be rails,
ed by voting bond issue to be aft
erwards sold in the market, and such
bond issue has not even been spok
en- of seriously as yet.
| Then, in the Stars humble opin
ion, there are several places whe {
money is needed more urgently thar
| for this purpose. Among them, first
a sewerage system; second, bricl
streets; third, the improvement and
extension of the light and water
plants to meet the needs of our grow
/ ing city.
If the city council thinks the pres
ent site of the city hall not large
enough for the location of city build
| ings in the future, it would be a good
| idea to purchase the lot opposite tht
A. c. L. passenger depot, if same cal
be obtained at reasonable price ant
| on terms that the city can meet I'm
der it's present financial circum
| stances, with a view of holding it TO
such future need.
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1914-02-05

benefits and the enhancement of
the value of their property.
There are number of other
things that Ocala needs and one of
them is a new water plant, for which
financial provisions have already
ben made. Electric light and water
plant should be located in connection
with this proposed road. 1t takes
fuel to generate power, and this is
the biggest operating expense This
fuel could be transported to Silver
Springs by water then over your own
road from Silver Springs direct to
the plants. The saving in freight on
fuel alone would amount to many
thousands of dollars and would go a
long way toward paying operating
expenses of the road. There are a
great many things in connection with
this proposition to be considered that
can be worked out later should my
suggestions meet with your approval.
Yours truly,
