VIII Be Mustered Into Govern
ment Service, But Some
May Not Be Accepted.
ALL WELL AND HAPPY
AT MOBILIZATION CAMP
Gen. Harvey Praises His Men and
Says They Will Be Ready to
Answer When Called.

More than 1000 Washington
men, drawn from all branches of
the government service and the
industrial life of the capital, are
we'll and happy today in the
mobilization camp near Fort
Myer.
Tomorrow these men will be
mustered into the government
service as regular army troops,
and then probably from 5 to 10
per cent of them will be returned
to their families. That is the
percentage that Brig Gen. Will
liam E. Harvey estimates will fail
to qualify under the strict age and
medical tests. That means that
probably $50 of the boys now in
camp will be back home within
a couple of days. The rest are
likely to be in the camp for sew
eral months, if they are not soon
sent to the Mexican border.
Officers of the camp today say they
would not be surprised to get orders
to send certain portions of their COM
mand to the border any day. but the
camp administration is being based on
the supposition that they will all be in
camp for several months.
Become Regulars Tomorrow.
1t is definitely settled that the muster
ing into the regular army will be to-
morrow. Capt Horace p. Hobbs, the
infantry Inspector instructor. received
definite orders today from the head
quarters of the Department of the East
at Governors Island. designating him
as assistant mastering officer at the
camp. The chief mastering officer for
the Department of the East is Col.
Noyes. Capt. Hobbs will act solely in
this muster. His instructions are as
follows:

A strong plea to the Senate sub
committee handling the District

that measure the House rider do

plan of appropriating for the Dis
trict was made today by repre-
sentatives of the joint citizens

Argument was made that the

of financing the District govern
ment, which for many years has
proved its worth, without offering
anything in its place.
Those Making Appeal.
Henry B. F. Macfarland, chairman of the

Federation OF citizens Associations and
other civic organizations to present the
facts to Congress in support of the con-

Mr.. Macfarland said that the joint
citizens committee represented not only
taxpayers but national citizens who
have made their full contributions to
national taxes and In far larger pro-
portion than many states and who had
contributed IN every war more than
their quota of troops. as they were new

was found that The Sunday

Will Satisfy South America.
The Presidents policy of patience
will be carried to the extreme limit.
so that all South America and the
world may understand that the United
States did not seek or wish war with
Mexico, and was compelled to enter
this condition because of attacks from
Mexicans themselves.
1t is not to be understood that the
President will permit soldiers OF this
country to be placed in jeopardy con-
tinousiy through alleged misunder.
standings, as the men have been told
to take care of themselves and do the
Job well, but he does want TO satis1y
himself as to whether the attacks upon
this governments soldiers are from or
ders from Cen Carranza and his mill
tary advisers. Once determined to nus
own satisfaction that the fault is not
with troops of the United states, but is
unouestionably with Mexicans, acting
upon orders from the highest authori-
ties, the President will speedily act ana
war will be on.
