Easy to Explain Delay.

1t is believed here that the District
of Columbia troops can easily ascer-
tain at Warren or Bisbee the cause
if any, for delay in paying the men
inasmuch as there are regulars at
Warren and Bisbee. who will be paid
at the same time the District of Colum-
bia gaurdsmen are paid.
The fact that the District of Colum-
bia troops have not yet served the
government month, however, is not
believed here to have any bearing or
the date of pay question. 1t is said that
in all likelihood the pay rolls are being
made up to and including the 30th day
Of June, or possibly the 18th day OF
July. Definite information on this sub
ject Is not obtainable at the War De-
partment. as that is an administrative
detail of the Quartermaster Corps OF

Nearest Supporting Force.

The nearest supporting force is a
company of the 22d Infantry at Don
Luis, a mining settlement about four
or FIVE miles northeast Of the camp.
There are two companies of this regi-
ment at the Warren Country Club, a
couple of miles across the flats from
Don Luis.
Since going into camp the 1st Sepa-
rate has had little idle time on its
hands. Being a combatant force, it is
essential that ii should be well trained
and accordingly every day is filed
with drills from early until late. Few
passes have been issued allowing the
men to go into Naco
Few towns along the border are
more interesting than Naco from the
sightseer's point One half the town
is American and the other half purely
Mexican. On the north side are seen
houses that are about the same as
those seen in any small country COM
munity in the United States; on the
south side are adobe huts.
Naco is largely depopuiated at this
time. The Mexican side is almost en-
tirely deserted. The battle at that

DISTRICT GUARD CAMP. WARREN,
Ariz., July 14.-Of the hundreds of per-
sons who gathered at the railroad
yards at Rosslyn, Va. the evening of
July to witness the departure Of the
first two units of the District National
Guard for the border country, few
realized what great amount OF
equipment and material of various
kinds was being taken along by the
field hospital Many Of the militiamen
did not appreciate it's volume them
selves until the field hospital moved
from a temporary location in the town
OF Warren to a permanent camp site
on the mountainside adjoining the
Signal Corps camp. At this time all OF
the equipment of the hospital unit was
arranged in neat piles on the ground
for inspection purposes and a good idea
of It's extent could be obtained.

Not a Months Work.

1t was pointed out at the War De-
partment that the District troops on
the border, consisting of the Signal
Company. Field Hospital unit, and 1st
Separate Battalion, have not yet serv-
ed the government a month. The order
of President Wilson. mobilizing the
National Guard, was dated June IS, and
most of the men reported for duty the
following day.
They are entitled to pay from the
moment they reported for duty. but
War Department officials here do not
know what date of the month is the
pay day of the Southern Department.
If there has been any delay in paying
the men, it is believed at the depart
ment that it has been caused, In all
likelihood by commanders of companies
not having their pay rolls ready for
nuartermaster officers

MONEY IS READY TO PAY
D.. c. TROOPS ON BORDER
Maybe Company Commanders Have
Not Made Up Pay Roll, Says
War Department.

Complaints from Warren. Ariz., that
District national guardsmen have not
been paid for their services, so far
were met at the War Department with
the statement that this piece of ad-
ministrative work is entirely "up to-
the Southern Department of the army
and that the War Department here has
no knowledge of these details.
The money for the men is ready al
hand. in the quartermaster's division
of the Southern Department. It is
not doubted at the War Department
that the men will be paid as soon as
their company commanders make III
and turn in their nav rolls.

Electric Lights in Tents.

Maj. Walker and members of the
battalion staff have a camp that's hard
to beat. Wires have been run from
the pumping plant and each tent is
supplied with electric lights
Maj. John Howard of the 22d Infantry
has been assigned to the camp as in
spector and instructor. His tent ad-
joins that Of Maj. Walker. During the
Spani american war Maj Howard
hlled a similar capacity with the 4Sth
volunteer regiment, a colored organiZa :
tion. He has had much experience in
this work and should prove valuable
man to the 1st Separate Battalion.
Under his guidance the battalion prob
ably will be whipped into full service
efficiency in record time.
| Mai Howard believes that in the
| members of the battalion he has apt
| pupils; from the comma nding officer to
eagerness to become just as good a
| soldier possible in the shortest pos
| sible time.
Already the camp of tht lst Sepa-
| rate has been studied from a tactical
I standpoint and plan formulated for
/ its protection in event of an attack
| from across the Mexican line. 1t has
| been figured out that in event of an
attack against Naco and the water
works the battalion would have to
stand on it's own resources for at least
three hours. and probably four hours.
| before supporting force could be
brought up. A general attack would
occupy the attention of the cavalry at
Naco, and the LIST Separate Battalion
would have to guard the water pump
ing plant unassisted.
Evening star., 1916-07-19
Location Is Important.

The location of the battalion of Dis
trict troops here is an important one.
Should a hostile force cross the border
and destroy the plant, the water supply
would be cut off from about $4,000 per-
sons living in the Warren district,
which includes Bisbee and the other
nearby towns. If properly supplied
with explosives one man could wreck
the plant in few minutes: few
sticks of dynamite placed about the
engines and pumps and then exploded
would paralyze the country hereabouts
There are no other wells in this local
ity and water would have to be sent
in from other points by means of tank
cars until repairs could be made or
new machinery set in position.
The Naco district offers two points OF
attack to a hostile force-the town
proper and the water pumping plant
beyond. A regular cavalry force is
guarding the former and the 1st Sep
arate Battalion the latter.
Approaching the battaIion's camp
from the town of Naco, one first reaches
the outer ends of the streets of the
companies constituting the force. Then
comes an open space, and next in line
are the cook and mess tents. Beyond
these are the officers tents and still
further on the tents of Maj. James E.
Walker. commanding the battalion, and
his staff officers.

Camp Bare of Trees.

Then comes a depression, in which
the pumping plant and the residences
of the superintendent in charge are
located. There are a few trees here
but the camp site is entirely bare, even
the clumps of cactus and wire grass
with which this country Is spotted
being absent.
Close to the plant are the tents Of
Company D, commanded by Lieut.. New
man. To this company has been as
an honor assignment. Its members
stand guard over the plant at all hours.
On hillside nearby there water
tank holding 100000 gallons. Here at
least two militiamenr always are on
guard. One is furnished with pair
Of powerful field glasses. Every few
minutes he climbs up ladder resting
for miles around. Frequent reports
concerning the actions of horsemen and
others seen across the line are made to
the officer in charge of the guard.
At night three outposts are kept on
the line of the tracks of the Ell Paso
and Southwestern railroad to the west
/ of the camp. One takes its position at
a small bridge where the tracks cross
over the bed of the dry stream. The
two others cover the territory for a
mile or more to the north of this point
The position of the camp is an easy
one to guard, for there are no houses
within a mile of it, with the exception
of those Immediately adjoining the
pumping plant and at the cavalry camp
any one in the vicinity Of the camp can
be promptly detected by reasons of it's
elevation over the surrounding country
and the absence Of buildings.

CAMP OF THE FIRST SEPARATE
BATTALION, o. NJ. D. c., Naco. Ariz.
July 14-A small plateau fianked on
the west by the deep-cut bed Of dry
stream and on the east by a gradual
slope down to fats beyond-this is the
location of the camp of the District Of
Columbia 1st Separate Battalion. The
camp is situated about q mile north
west of the center of the town of Naco,
which is directly on the border, part
being in the United States and part in
Mexico. The site of the camp is about
$500 feet above sea level: about five
miles to the north is the Escabrosa
range and like distance to the south
west across the line in Mexico Is the
San Jose range.
The battalion has been established
at this point to stand guard over a
water works plant that supplies Bis
bee, Lowell, Warren, Don Luis and
other towns in this locality. The plant
is about a quarter of a mile from the
center of the camp. Here water is
pumped from deep driven wells to
tanks located on the mountainsides
above the towns supplied; massive
Diesel engines furnish the power for
this purpose.

Judges and the
Presidency.

Neither during the campaign nor
since has there been any material
criticism of the nomination of an
occupant of the Supreme Bench or
the acceptance by him of such NOM
nation when rendered. Early in the
recent campaign there was some eff
fort on the part of the Democrats
to make political capital of this de-
parture from what has been consid-
cred an established rule. The fact,
however. that Justice Hughes did alb
solutely nothing to encourage or
even to countenance efforts that were
made in his behalf prevented any
effective use being maze of this ar
gument, and it was early abandon
ed.
Nevertheless, the fact that Justice
Hughes was defeated for the Presi-
dency leaves in full force and effect
the long recognized principle that a
President shall not be selected from
the Supreme Bench. No possible
criticism can be made of the conduct
Of Justice Hughes prior to his nom
ination. Neither can it be contented
that during his campaign he made
any political use whatever of his
record as Justice of the Supreme
court. And yet it is altogether likely
that IL Mr.. Hughes had been elected
TO the Presidency, the departure
from our long established custom
would have stimulated in the minds
OF other occupants of the Bench the
idea that they also might receive
similar preferment AMI would create
in them a political ambition which
would impair their usefulness as i'm
partial judges in litigation coming
before them.
Without any reflection whatever
upon Justice Hughes, who merely
performed his duty as loyal citizen
in responding to the call which came
TO him entirely unsolicited. 1t may
be remarked that while all Republic
cans and a great many independents
will regret his defeat, yet time may
lead to the conclusion that perhaps
II was misfortunate not without some
compensation in view of the fact that
1t probably makes absolutely the rule
that Justice Of the Supreme Court
shall not be elected to the Presi-
dency.

How to Make
Economies.

With prices climbing up to altitu-
dinous heights, the newspapers are
full Of schemes and experiments and
advice about the cost OF living. Ec-
onomics experts are suggesting men
US and housekeepers are beset with
advice. One of the recent experiments
is that of Health Commissioner j.
d. Robinson of Chicago, who is try
ing out 40 cent daily diet with
a squad Of experimenters in Chicago.
He contends that 40 cents a day is
ample for good and wholesome food
for any person.
In all probability 1t is. But II re-
quires certain firmness of human
nature to maintain limitation on
ones expenses. The housewife goes
10 the butchers shop determined not
to spend more than 40 cents on the
family dinner. But when she gets
there she finds the cheaper cuts of
meat are gone. Or she sees a lot
of attractive foods but up in fancy
boxes. Or bacon. fruits, or cakes
look so attractive that she can't re-
sist the temptation. She goes home
finding that her 40 cent dinner has
cost her a dollar or more.
Formerly 1t was second nature to
consider every penny and nickel.
Now most people have very COM
Portable feeling about expenses. II
they spend more than they expected
for certain article, they think hope
fully that they will make it up else
where. But they never do. Their
appropriations for all departments
the end of the year they are sur
prised to find themselves in debt.
Administering a household econ
omically has become a science in
these times. 1t involves spending a
lot of time at the grocery store and
at the butchers shop. Also lot of
time in the kitchen. 1t cannot be
secured in issuing orders over a
telephone, nor handing out COM
mands to a more or less ignorant
servant.
1t involves watching for bargains
and keeping an eye on newspapers
out the less expensive foods to find
those that are appetizing and nour.
ishing. There are plenty of ways
of saving money even in these times
for people who will make a study OF
