TIT FOR TAT IS
GERMAN METHOD
Will Treat Russian Prisoners just as
German Prisoners arc
Treated.

BERLIN. Aug. Silvia wireless
to Sayville) e)-"Officers and sailors of
the Russian navy prisoners in Ger
many" says the Overseas News
agency, have been brought into a
reprisal camp because for more than
year German naval officers and
sailors in Siberia have been treated
as common criminals
THE Russians" the news agency
says, will be treated exactly as are
the German prisoners in Russia until
Russia decides to treat the Germans
as sailors who did their duty for their
country.
The Russian actions are said to
have been caused by the friendly ad-
vice of England which declared that
the Germans were not regular sailors,
but pirates. All diplomatic negotia-
tons were without result. The Rus
sian general staff even pretended that
proved facts were untrue and this
caused the German government to
adopt counter measures"

Those Ordered Back Can
Scarcely Make Trip by,
Next Week.
6 NO ROLLING STOCK
All Troops Will Not Return
to Their Own Mobiliza-
ton Camps.

GAN ANTONIO, Aug. 31.-National
~ guard regiments ordered to return
from the border scarcely will COM
plete their movements northeast and
west before the end of next week and
perhaps not then, according to opin-
ions expressed by the army men at
| southern division headquarters to-
! night. .....
1t is necessary to scrape together
rolling stock from many distant points
| before all the men can be entrained.
In some cases regiments can be rap
| Idly cntrained. In others there will
be much delay because trains TO bear
the guardsmen to their destinations
| must be brought from st. Louis. Chi
cago. Houston and New Orleans. -.
The First and Second regiments of
the First Illinois brigade. though they
will fare better than any other or
panizations. will suffer from delay.
Scheduled to leave San Antonio to-
night, they are not expected to get
away before tomorrow. -
Down on the border conditions are
even less favorable. The Third,
Fourth and Seventy first New York
infantry in the Brownsville district
the First and Third Missouri infantry
at Laredo, the Fourth Maryland in
fantry at Eagle Pass, the First Louis
lana in the Brownsville district, and
the First and Fourth New Jersey in
fantry at New Mexico points, will not
get away before or until after the
| hour when the strike of the railway
| trainmen is scheduled to begin. The
| trip northward will occupy almost a
week. It is estimated.
All the troops will not return to
their state mobilization camps. 1t Is
understood. In states where the fed
eral government possesses a reserva-
Walton the guardsmen will station
there.
Men who, under the ruling of the
war department. have been dis
charged from the service. will not
be affected by the movement
They are definitely out of the scrv-
Ice ard will rot have to join their
organizations when they return to
| their states.
Army men said today that there
is fool enough to feed the men on the
border for sixty DAYS IL the strike ma
terializes but that forage would soon
be exhausted and IL would be neces-
sary to Craze the army animals There
have been frequent rains in Texas
| lately and the grazing is good.

Get Extra Supplies.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-National
guard regiments and regular coast
artillery companies en- route to or
from the border have been ordered
equipped with extra supplies for the
journey against the possibility that a
general railway strike will delay their
movements.
Secretary Baker and other war de-
partment officials refused today to
discuss reports that the fifteen thou
sand guardsmen suddenly ordered
northward last night were being
moved as a precaution against strike
violence. The states to which the
troops are returning are those where
only a small portion of the guard was
not called into the federal service and
in most of them large railway ter
minals are located.
Thirty thousand VIII Move.
Approximately thirty thousand
troops are under orders to move to or
from the border and many of them
will be en- route on Monday morning.
the time set for the strike. Army
officials indicated today that II the
troop trains were caught in tieup.
the men would detrain and make
camp at whatever point they are to
await instructions. If congress does
not authorize the drafting of train
crews for military purposes, soldiers
might be used to run the trains. Every
regimental commander has the names
of the men under him who could drive
an engine or do trainmen's service If
an emergency arose.
As long as the regiments ordered
north remain in the federal service
they are not subject to the call of
the governors of their states and their
participation in strike duty would
have to be on the same basis as regu-
lar federal troops.
