marches to Fort Myer to go into camp.
The train bearing this contingent of
District troops. the first to return from

not shifted into the Rosslyn yards until
midnight.
All of the troops We're up when the

Separate Battalion. was met at the yards
by w. F. Volandt. civilian clerk in the
depot quartermaster's office at Fort Myer,
who gave instructions for the men to
remain on the train tonight and to
march to Fort Ayer the first thing this

This was welcomed by both officers

In the House of Representative il has
again and again happened that the re-

from the control OF its leaders and
voted. sometimes by a majority of its
members. sometimes almost unanimous
ly. for the measures which have dis
tinguished the action of the present
democratic Congress. They came from

"Regrettable Incident"

Only upon one conspicuous occasion
did the contrary happen. when the re-
publican machine was able to compel a
majority of its members in the House
of Representative to vote that Amer
lean citizens had no right to travel on
the high seas. If their leaders believe
in the rights of American citizens.
why don't their followers? If their
leaders are so stiff to see that Amer
leans get their rights everywhere, why
do these men vote that Americans shall
get their rights nowhere? One of the
most regrettable incidents of American
history is that there should have been
found men in the Congress of the
United States willing to vote in that
sense.
But it is another story in the SEN
ate of the United States. There a
serene confidence obtains in the pri-
vate conferences OF the Senate. 1

Camp Site Already Laid Out.

The camp site for the troops has
al. been laid out at Fort Myer. They
will make camp on the spot occupied
early by the mounted organizations of
the District militia, north of the rail-
road tracks. 1t had been planned to
put them in barracks, but owing to
the fact that there is considerable
property there belonging to organiza-
tions now on the border the men could
not be put there.
However, the quartermaster is pre-
pared to furnish the men with all the
extra blankets they need to keep them
warm in their tents. a large supply
of new blankets has just been received
and these will be issued as fast as
they are needed. The men probably

formally inspected here today by Brig.

18th Division, of which the District in
fantry is a part.
The four months of intensive training
in Camp Ordway at Fort Myer. Va, is

formation perfect, but an inspection of

closed the fact that the District troops

Really a Wage Increase.

Il.
that the question at issue was the eight
hour day. This Is not all fact. The
question at issue was the question of
wages. The law does not say that there
shall be an eight-hour day. 1t says that
eight hours shall be made the measure
ceiving compensation In other words,
it was primarily an increase of wages
and not a diminution of hours that was
aimed at.

tend But l believe that there must be
common sense as well as common
honesty tn achieving the ideal Mr. viii

proper even to discuss it. If this is SO.
if it is applied universally. then Mr..
Wilson Is not to be excused for not ap-
