CONSIDERS
MORE AID FOR FUNSTON

washington, March 24-The prob
lem of meeting a request General
Funston might make for reinforce
nents in event of q rebellion of Car
ranza's army was under consideration
here today. If the American forces
were seriously attacked, it was regard
ed as likely that all available troops
from the border would be rushed to
the support of the advancing columns
and that these troops would be replace
ed as quickly as possible by National
Guardsmen in order not to leave the
border towns unguarded.
Reply from Carranza to the request
that American troops be permitted to
use the Mexican Northwestern railway
was expected momentarily today. Bor-
der reports say General Pershing al
ready was using a portion of the line
and department officials pointed out
that it was possible he had reached a
limited agreement with local Mexican
railway officials.
Direct word from the ampico dis
trfct. where anti-American demonstra-
lions have been unof1ciaIly reported,
were awaited at the navy department
today from the batt1eship Kentucky,
on her way to Mexican waters and the
gunboat Machias, off Tampico. Radio
messages have been sent to the COM
manders of both ships to report
promptly.

ton of a few old men at Ascencion.
All of, the men arriving today told
stories of sandstorms that filled the
eyes and noses of the men and ami
mails with sand and drove it under
their clothing and their saddles. That
the storms were continuing was indtr
Gated in a radio message from General
Pershing.
"A trainload of infantry recruits ar
rived In Columbus last night from Co
1umbus barracks, Ohio. 1t was said
they would be used to fill the gaps
in regiments in the Mexican field.
Numbers of reports were prevalent
in the camp that Mexican spies were
observing operations at the base.
These were based on the fact that two
strange Mexicans arrived yesterday
and that one Of them spent most of
his time watching the loading of
trucks preparing to depart for the
field. Later the man was arrested
upon orders from the provost and is
being held pending an Investigation.
He refused to answer questions put to
him by military authorities.

CAN Get SOLDIERS
Test Proves All Claims for
Constructive Army.

New York. March 2S.-The most
serious obstacle to an increase in the
army has been the difficulty of OBJ
tanning recruits. This difficulty is
admitted by the Adjutant General, and
all other authorities on this question.
A recent experience has shown a
way to get the men and the results
have just been published by the So
ciety of Constructive Defence. This
Society is working for IA construc-
tive army plan which combines in
tensive military training during part
OF the time with constructive work
on roads, rivers and other public
works under the supervision of Army
Engineers.
To prove to officers of the General
Staff that the men could be had on
this plan, an advertisement was in
serted in a New York newspaper ask
ing for men who would like to sign
for several years doing hard outdoor
work and taking three months pre-

liminary training with five hours
weekly thereafter, as suggested by ar
my officers.
From This one advertisements in one
newspaper there were received the as
tonishing number of 533 written ap-
plications. The handwriting was on
the average splendid; the neatness
and general character of the letters
were exceptionally good Employ
ers of wide experience said they had
never seen a better class of letters
of this character in all their expert
ence. Over one-fourth as many ap-
plications were received from one ad-
vertisement for a constructive army

ing during an entire year. (4,159 in

were anxious to get experience in

Many letters said, mot afraid OF
hard work." "beIieve the hard work

chance to learn a trade or be out IN
the open air. why did not someone
start such q thing before ?"
Many of the applications came from
young men who had studied surveying
civil engineering or some other tech
meal line. The standard of education
ability physical condition and other
qualifications of the applicants is ex-
EXCEPTIONALLY high; higher in fact than
usual among applicants for army
service.
This test answers those who EafnIc
that men win not enlist in con
structive army; that those who do en-
list will be men of a low and ignorant
class; that army men will not do
hard work; and that enough men can
not be obtained at the wages offered
C$25 to $35 per monthly
The test has proved by incontro-
vertible evidence over 533 signatures
that SUFFICIENT men can be had under
the constructive army plan; more men
than under the existing army SYSTEM
that the men will be of a very re-
spectacle and intelligent class, as good
as at present that the men will be
willing to do hard work and take mil
itary training as approved by officers
of the army; and that the spirit Of
patriotism is not yet dead in younG.
Americans who are as willing as ever
to serve their country if given q fair
opportunity.
The Society of Constructive Defence
has received endorsements of its plan
from thousands of prominent men
and has interesting literature to dis
tribute on request.

throughout the nation in developing a
sense OF military obligation among
the young men Of the country, and
the present indications are that at
least 10000 will attend these camps
this summer.
The aim is to give men of average
physique four or five weeks a year
of intensive military instruction un-
der officers Of the regular army, SO
that at the end OF that time men of
no previous military experience will,
at least, have learned the rudiments
of military organization and discipline
and use of the military rifle, and be-
come somewhat familiar with the
equipment, feeding --C sanitary care
of an army in the field, and the hand
ling and control Of men in man
oeuvres
No examinations are held, but at
the completion of the training recon-
mendations are made by the company
commanders as to the EFFICIENCY of
the attendant and certificates f COM
potency are issued by the command
ing officer and filed with the war de-
partment.

BRIDGEPORTERS TO
HAVE OPPORTUNITY
TO GO INTO CAMP

STUDENTS throughout the state have
eacetved communications from the
headauarters Of the department OF the
East of the U. s. army il reference 70
military training camps winch nave
come into prominence in connection
win the feeling of preparedness
The communications deal with the
camp at sPIattsburg, N. Z, and states
the qualifications for attendance TO-
gether with the objects of the camps
The expense as explained, is reason
able The camp is in two divisions.
the senior and the junior The cost
is $50 for the first division and $22-6O
FOR the second, exclusive of the uni-
form and the railway fare
1.-THE obligation to defend the coun-
try in case of need" says the notice,
staIready rests on all male citizens OF
military age. Attendance at mill
tary camp neither increases nor di-
srairisaes this existing obligation " "A
bulletin of the 1916 camp is enclosed
in each letter and also sppHcation
fer enrolment.
The history and value of the camp
of the regular army for college AMI
high school students was held on the
field of Gettysburg. In the same year
a students camp was also held at
Monterey, Ca, and in 1914 and 1915
similar camps were held in various
parts of the country.
In .Juns, 1915, a corresponding move
r.-ant was started among the younger
professional and business men. and
resulted in the PIattsburg training
camps for business and professional
men OF 1915, with an attendance of
j, 800 men.
Like the student camps, these camps
were held with the approval of the
war departm and under officers
and in conjur ction with troops OF the
regular army. A high standard of
moral and substantial military re-
cults were attained
Indirectly the Plattsbutrg idea
brought about a similar camp at Fort
Sheridan. ILL.,, attended by over SOC
men, and similar movements in varf-
Gus parts Of the country.
Plans are being made for sectional
ramps on a large scale in the summer
Of 1916. Internationally the Pqatts-
burg idea has had great influence
