in other forms of occupations
who are also eager to return to
them and who would be left here
apparently to pay the penalty of
not being a school or college stu
cent. The point as raised, how
ever, means that if the college
men are not needed, then Meth
er are the rest Of the men. I'm
less such an order be revoked
or postponed Indefinitely the
time does not seem to far dis
tant when all the troops be mus
tered out.
So far the case on either side
is only surmise. The most cheer
ing fact is that we are here, well
taken care of, fairly well con-
tented, slowly being made fit
for active service if needed, and
sure Of having our way paid
home when our time is spent
here.
Last Friday lived up to the
proverbial unluckiness of that
day. The day for our long dis
lance hike, it opened up with a
threat of rain in the sky. Three
miles out on the hike, the rain
opened fire and kept it up the
rest of our trip of 1873 miles.
Walking was difficult in this
Texas grease" but we made
good time, walking over five
miles with only a minutes rest
when we had to wait for the
First Regiment, with whom we
caught up, to get itself stretched
ahead of US. By the way, we
again stepped on the heels Of
our patronizing friends from the
First when they had a stop to
rest and then hurt their feelings
by passing through their lines
and on ahead of them. Back at
camp we had barely time to eat
the noon mess when the storm
broke on us with hurricane fury.
During the afternoon the wind
battered down tents. four of
them in Company LIS street.
Toward evening mess came the
unexpected orders to go on
guard. The Company, most Of
whom had to wear the clammily
cold clothes in which they had
campaigned on the morning hike,
lined up in good spirits and went
down the street with a rousing
cheer just to show they had for
gotten the drenching rain. They
found a guard house unprovided
for against the rain by the old
guard just leaving, with the
ground floor churned into mud
axle deep. Colonel" McIntire
saved the situation by confscat-
ing a few bales of hay to cover
the mud and provide sleeping
quarters.
According to orders issued
this week no man can leave
camp without q pass. Further
more, he must more carefully
than previous to this time OBJ
serve the details Of dress, such
as wearing the regulation black
tie, having a clean hat cord,
pocket shirt cuffs and collars
buttoned, with shoes polished.
The information in the Ga
zette of two weeks back regard
ing pay has turned out to be in
correct. The first of the week
we received pay for the month
Of June from the 10Th, the day
the President issued his sum-
mons. Today was another pay
day when the July money was
issued.

STARVE BY HUNDREDS
Famine Spreads in Interior of Mexico
Many Poems Dying.

Ell Paso, Tex, Aug. 8.-One hun
dred Carranza troops from Chihuahua
City have arrived in Juarez to rein
force that garrison in anticipation of
an attack by Col. Mariana Tames's
revolutionary band. Possibilities of
such an attack, however, are consid-
cred small since practically all reports
have it that Tames is headed south
ward.
Gen. Francisco Gonzales in Juarez
issued an official denial of street
report that his troops, sent in pursuit
of Tames, had been repulsed below
Ojo Samalayuca. No confirmation of
the report could be obtained by Gen.
George Bell. Jr.
An English mining man who arrived
in Ell Paso from Parral and Chihua-
hua City brought fresh reports of the
wave of famine which has gripped the
Mexican interior. Poems are starving
by the hundreds, he declared, and no
attempts are being made by the de
facto government to give them relief.

CARRANzA WON'T QUIT
Chief Will Retire Only When Success
or Is Elected, says AguiIar.

Mexico City, Aug. s.-"Venustiano
Carranza will not retire from power
until the constitutionalist election"
declared General Aguilar, minister of
foreign relations of the Carranza cabi-
net, when asked for an official state
ment regarding the rumor that the
first chief was about to step down.
Senior Carranza's power is first to
rehabilitate the government under the
constituencies plan. He will retire
from the presidency when his success
or is elected"
Minister Aguilar stated that rumors
that Pablo Gonzales was to be given a
place in the cabinet at this time were
without foundation.
Regarding the opinion rendered by
Attorney General Woodbury. that a
state of war virtually exists between
Mexico and the United States, General
Aguilar said:
No such view is shared by the
Mexican government
He pointed out that diplomatic rela-
lions are still maintained between

Fairbanks Influence Helped to
Defeat Kansan.

d Chicago, Aug. S.-Alvip T. Hert of
Kentucky has been installed as west
ern manager of the Republican ma
tional campaign. Announcement of
his appointment was made by Chair
nan WILCOX. Mr.. Hert won his posi-
ton over Joseph B. Healing of In

Hitchcock had refused to take the
place. Appointment of Mr.. Hert was
decided on several days age in New

Hughes, but was not dictated by him
as the acquaintance of the two men
dates from a considerable time after
the national convention.
Charles w. Fairbanks is credited
with having put Mr.. Hert over. They
are friends of long standing. Mr.. Hert
originated in Indiana, the home of the
vice presidential candidate. Fourteen
years ago he moved to Louisville,
where he is now known as the 'creo-
sote king" He never has held public
office always has been a straight Re-
publican and until the Kentucky state
convention made him national COM
nl:tteeman had held no posts of honor
in the party. Mr.. Hert stood for Fair
banks for president in the Kentucky
delegate fight and only won his COM
mittee seat after a contest in the Chi
cugo convention.
Mr.. Hert is viewed as acceptable by
both the standpat and progressive
wings of the party.

MILKMEN STRIKE
Employers Meet Drivers With
Lockout in st. Louis.
New York Dairymen Threaten
to Shut Off Supply.

St Louis Aug. S.-As a result of
lockout of the union drivers of four
dairies in st. Louis today, few house to
house deliveries of milk were made to-
day.
Customers went to the diaries for
their milk, and grocers and butchers
sent their wagons to the diaries to get
an extra large supply to meet the de-
nlands of their neighbors.
Pickets were stationed by the union
leaders at the diaries, but they did not
modest persons who came to get milk
Policemen also were at the diaries to
prevent trouble.
The drivers, who now are getting
s14 a week and commissions, ask SIS
a week and s per cent commissions on
their gross sales.
The drivers of the st. Louis dairy
last night voted to strike today 1t
was planned that strikes should be
called against the diaries one at a
time, but the employers met this move
by locking out all union drivers.
Demand More for Milk.
New York, Aug. S.-Dairymen who
supply most of the milk used in New
York City have threatened to shut Off
deliveries unless the big milk concerns
which buy milk from them and sell 1t
to this city agree to pay higher
price. This declaration is made by
the sales manager of one of the large
milk concerns in New York.
Steps have already been taken in
this direction by the Dairymen's
eague, which includes in its member
ship more than one-half of the dairy
men of the state. Unless a price adj
justment is made before October 10,
when the present contracts between
the dairymen and the milk concerns
expire, it is probable that strike will
be called.

Southwestern Railways Ash
Rehearing on 1. C. C. Ruling.
j. O. Goodsen Is Appointed As
sistant Passenger Agent U. p.

Commenting editorially on the pos
sible strike, for an eight-hour basic
day and time and half overtime, of
railway Age Gazette filings what
might be termed a challenge at the
trainmen, in the following:
THE conference between the ma
tiona1 conference committee of the
railways and committees of the train
service brotherhoods will be resumed
in New York Tuesday Ctoday). They
will probably be short. The railways
committee will renew its offer to ~
submit the proposals of both sides to
the interstate commerce commission,
or CD submit them to arbitration un-
der the Newlands act. 1t seems prob
able that the committee of the en-
ployes will submit some counter plan
with the expectation that the railways
will reject it and thereby put them
selves in the position of declining
means of peaceful settlement. For ex-
ample, they may repeat the trick
played by them two years ago, of
agreeing to arbitrate, provided only
the demands of the employees are
arbitrated: or they may suggest the
creation of a board so constituted, that
from the railway point of view. it
would be utterly objectionable.
"One thing seems certain, however.
That is, that the railways will not con-
cede any more than they have already
offered They are willing to arbitrate,
but they will not consent to arbitra-
ton by some one-sided board, and
they will not consent to arbitration
which does not include consideration
of their demands as well as those of
the employees. If the alternative is
further concessions on the part of the
railways or a strike, then the strike
will be allowed to come. There will
never be a better time for settling
whether or not the railway labor
brotherhoods can dictate their own
terms to the railways and defy the
opinion of the public and trample on
its rights"

him to take the fifty-four members of

the uprising. 1t was he who inspected
the rehabilitation order to the Irish
volunteers.
Had my brother known all the
facts of the situation he would not
probably have tried to prevent the up

vent massacre of the people whom
he loved But after all, it was better

Majority of Employees Opposed to Ac-

New York, Aug. S.-Robert T Fra
zier, a minor employe of the Nash
vile, Chattanooga & St Louis rail-
road, is in New York today to get
signatures to a petition protesting
against the proposed strike of the
train service employees. Mr.. Frazier
pointed out the union men are less
than 20 per cent of all railroad en-
pioyes, although the unions are in
control of the transportation and that
they are planning to force a strike
which so per cent of the employees do
not want.
In the petition, which he intends to
present to President Wilson and con-
gress within few days, he petitions
for definite legislative action and a
resort to arbitration.

impossible to interpret, officials say.
