ORDWAY men DESPAIR
OF REACHING BORDER
Soldiers No Longer Trust in Promises
of Departure.

The feeling at Camp Ordway now Is
that the District troops will never reach
the border, 1t is simply question OF
how long they are to be held In the
camp before they are sent back to eiVil
life, many OF the men and officers De-
lieve.
The lons-drawn-out strike conferences,
and the War Department orders that the
troops will not move until all possibility
OF railroad strike is over, have maue
many men and officers skeptical of their
chances for border service. They point
to their disappointnents and the auieting
of the border as reasons.
Even high officers who in the middle
OF July scorned any suggestion that on
the first of September the troops would
still be in Camp Ordway. are now skepti-
CAL and do not rely too much on the
statements of other high officers that
the troops will finally be sent to the bor-
der.
In fact. many of the men and officers
would prefer service at Camp OrdWay
to work in Arizona, and realize that the
monopoly of doing nothing would be just
al trying In the South as near at home.
II not more so.
Officers are now fearful that II the
troops are held at Camp 'Ordway doing
nothing for long, their numbers will drop
again below minimum strenth Students
are applying for discharges which will
be effective on Thursday, and nearly
enough men will receive them to bring
the Third Infantry below the minimum.
Discharges on account of dependents are
still sapping the ranks.
A series OF combat problems between
the Third Infantry and the cavalry
troop will be held during the week, ac-
cording to Col. Young. These exercises
were postponed from last week by the
drills on Saturday, the rehearsing for
which took the place Of all regular drills.
Troop A received sixty horses yesterday
from the regulars at Fort Myer. and
they will be in the troops possession to
use and care for. They are now on the
picket lines erected for them. and the
cavalrymen have feeding and currying
of horses added to their daily work
