81 DYNAMITE STICKS
SALUTE WHITMAN
Gunners' Wit Makes Up for ABB
sence of Blanks.

Governor Whitman visited the militia
camp that is named for him yesterday
and was saluted with twenty-one sticks
of dynamite. Not even blank charge
for the saluting cannon was in the
camp when word came that the Cow
ernor was coming.
Nothing daunted, the gun crew got
some dynamite from the engineers
stores and gave twenty-one sticks TO
one of their fellows, who hid behind a
hillock. When the Governor appeared
the gunners briskly went through the
movements of loading and firing and
the dynamiter did the rest.
Up to the time of his departure Gov
ernor Whitman hadn't the slightest
idea that there had been anything ir-
regular about his salute.

Pride of Women Hampers Work
Of Aiding Guardsmen's F antilles
Courage of Poor Our Despair" Says Investigator Of
Active Service Auxilary-Brdc Learns of
Husbands Death at Border

"The courage Of the poor is our de-
spair."
An Investigator of the Active Ser
vice Auxiliary thus summed up the
di'heulties which that organization is
meeting in its attempt to give relief
TO the families of guardsmen left des-
titute when the mainstays Of their
support were carried away by the
PRESIDENTS mobilization order. Too
proud to ask for what they feel is
charity, many women in dire need had
tried TO keep their homes together,
only going to the auxiliary when they
had exhausted the last of their re-
sources or when discovered by the or
ganization's visitors.
One man at the border wrote the
auxiliary that he would be tempted
to desert unless something was done
for his family. He was one Of two
brothers who supported their mother
and two younger children. Visiting
the address given in his letter, the in
vestigator found the place locked.
Climbing fire escape, she peered into
the rooms which the mother was strug-
Cling to keep as home for the two
little ones. The bare cupboard shelves
were mute evidence of the mothers
distress.
Children Tell of Mothers Struggle
In the cellar the visitor found the
two children, boy of nine and a girl
of thirteen. The lad had fallen down
stairs and hurt himself, and his sister
was taking care of him.
81 don't know where mother is" the
girl said. "She goes out early every
morning. and doesn't come back until
II or l o'clock at night. She is selling
newspapers until the regiment comes
back"
Then, simply. childishly, but with a
mature understanding of the problem
her mother was facing, she told how
each day their food had grown less
in quantity. how milk had become a
great luxury, how little money could
be made at selling papers, and how
she and her brother had to walk TWEEN
" blocks every day for a bit to eat al.

account against employer slackers VINO
promised to keep Guardsmen on their
payroll while they served Uncle Sam
on the border and who since have &C.
cided to let them get along as PES
they may on the government pittance'
An unofficial report of the much dis
cussed hike of the 18th Infantry LIST
Battalion was given to The Tribune
to-day by Colonel Gordon Johnston.
1t shows that only twenty-three men
dropped out. instead of the seventy
five previously reported, and that OF
these all but ten were able to make t'e
trip to Hidalgo without assistance after
they had rested.
Another construction is also put by
officers of the 18th on the order from
division headquarters recalling the "a
Battalion just after it had started On
the same tap, which resulted in the
death of Private James Kerwin, of the
1st Battalion.
1t had been inferred before that the
recall meant that General Organ did
not consider the 18th in good enough
shape physically to withstand the
rigors of the hike. II now develops
that the order affected only further
hikes toward the Rio Grande, and left
the regiment free to march east, west
or north. BEHIND the order is seen a
fear that further troop movements IN
the direction of the river might pro-
woke hostilities.
The Third Battalion of the regiment
left on a four-mile hike to Sharyland
this afternoon. After swim in the
lake" there they will bivouac and re-
turn to McAllen in the morning.
At the headquarters conference TINS
afternoon it was pointed out with
measure of satisfaction that only four
deaths have occurred this far among

der, Corporal j. D. Locker, OF Company

Tomorrow a new base hospital will
be in operation at Brownsville and a

of transportation is saved by the new
