Roosevelt Is Offered
Equipment For Division

Oyster Bay n. Y, June S0.-The
news that Colonel Roosevelt was rails
ing volunteer division to serve in the
event of a. Mexican campaign has
caused such a rush of kilograms to
Sycamore Hill that the operator in
oyster Bay has been forced to call in
aid, and messenger boys are arriving
every few hours from Glen Cove, car
rying applications to enlist in the T.
R. Brigade. Letters also have begun
to come in such numbers as to nearly
swamp the local postoffice. 1t is
known that the Colonel will have to
employ clerical aid to assist in hand
ling the mail for the next few days.
Last night his secretary Walter j.
Hayes, issued the following statement
regarding the question of replying to
the messages which Colonel Roosevelt
has received in the matter of his di-
vision:
I'VE have been literally deluged
with kilograms and letters of applica-
ton from men who wish to join a
volunteer division.
1T is impossible to reply individ-
ually to the organizations and to the
men who have communicated with us.
But l will see that their applications
are carefully filed for future reference,
so that in the event of hostilities they
can be apprised of what action is
contemplated"
Not only are applications for per-
sonal service coming in by the thou
sands, but also offers of equipment, it
is learned, that had been totally unex-
pected. Everything which could be
possibly needed by such a division in
the field, from high-powered armor-
ed aeroplane down to material for a
field telephone, could be supplied from
private sources If the Colonel required
it.
Colonel Roosevelt himself, who is
looking more fit, every day, declined
positively to comment in any way on
any plans regarding the division.

MEXICAN PLAN TO
WRECK TROOP TRAINS NEAR
BORDER: MOVE in SECRECY
By Associated Press

San Antonio, June so. - While
thousands of National Guardsmen
were moving to-day toward border
stations, extraordinary precautions
were being taken to prevent the exact
routings and schedules of the numer-
GUS special trains from becoming
known.
General Funston was instructed to
exercise the utmost precautions in
concealing details of the mobilization
and general managers of all railroads
carrying troops were requested not to
make public the movements of trains.
1t was explained at General Funs-
tons headquarters that the unusual
measures were not taken to prevent
the news of just where the Am merican
troops would be stationed from reach
ing Mexicans, but to render more diff
Guilty any attempt that might be made
to wreck one of the trains.

Is NOW on Way to Mexico
By Associated Press

New York, June 80. - One half of
New York States militia is now on it's
way to the Mexican border. and the
remainder will leave as soon as they
can be mustered in and equipped, Ma
jor General O'Ryan, commanding
these troops announced to-day.
General O'Ryan said he and his staff
would start for the border on or be-
fore next Wednesday. A dearth of ac-
ceptable horses and mules is delaying
mobilization movements. The Fifth
regiment of New Jersey entrained at
Jersey City to-day for the border.

fantrymen went along who are recruits

How Troopers Travel

Each regiment will have two sec
tions of twenty cars each. The first
section will be comprised of five gon-
dola cars, four box cars, two sleepers,
four passenger coaches, one baggage
car and four passenge coaches in
order. The makeup of the Second is
one box car, ono sleeper, nine pas
senger coaches. one baggage car and
eight coaches.
In additio nto five days travel ra-
tions issued from tho quartermaster' s
department the three Philadelphia
regiments will be further guarded
against food famine on the way
south by one days garrison rations.
Nearly 100 Highway Department
men with three big road rollers and
numerous road drags began working
on the roads about the camp to-day.
Special attention is being given to
those near the First Brigade camp to
expedite the movement of equipment
to the sidings.
Delay Causes Censure
Medical examinations were rushed
in the Second Brigade to-day, although
at the present rate of departure Of
the troops from this camp the West
ern Pennsylvanians will not get away
for week. ImTninence of examination
in other organizations has caused q
rush to dentists from organizations in
the Fourth Brigade, tho artillery and
cavalry, and every dentist within
twenty-five miles OF the camp is being
besieged by soldiers desiring to have
teeth fixed up. Chiropodists are also
busy.
Much dissatisfaction. is being ex-
pressed in the infantry organizations
about the continual delays in depart
ure. but officers are taking advantage
of every hour to drill and the camp
roads to-day were filled with men on
practice marches.
The signal corps train moved away
from camp at 10.11 a. m, the cars be-
ing cheered by men from commands
along the track General Clement Wis
tied the First Brigade to hasten ar
rangements for departure between 12
and 1 o'clock.

Find Evidence of Plot

Information obtained by the intelIi-
gence officers has indicated that such
an attempt might be made. Train
wrecking, either by the removal of
rails or by the use of dynamite, is so
common to warfare in Mexico that the
general staff at Washington and the
military authorities here regarded as
almost essential such secrecy of the
movement.
1t was hoped at General Funston S
headquarters that the greater part of
the troops now moving would be on
the border by Saturday night and that
early in the coming week such dis
position would have been effected as
to render available for prompt action
the heavily reinforced army along the
international line.
Reports that a strong Mexican force
had interrupted General Pershings

GuGrdsmen Need Not Fear
Typhoid; Only Eight Cases
in U. S. Army in Year

Washington, D. c.. June s0.-Con-
f1dence in their ability to maintain the
national guardsmen called into service
on the Mexican border in good general
health and especially to protect them
absolutely from typhoid fever, the
dread of all soldiers, is expressed by
the army medical officers. This be-
lief is based on the remarkable results
obtained in the case of the regular
troops.
Surgeon-General Gorgas has COM
piled statistics for the past year show
ing that in the entire United States
Army there were but eight cases of
typhoid. a condition the more unusual
from the fact that the soldiers were
scattered around the world-in Alaska,
along the Gulf Coast. in Panama, in
the Philippines, in Hawaii and even
in China,-under all sorts of varying
conditions of climate and habitation.
This result has attracted the atten-
ton of Sir William Osler. who has
written to the surgeon-ge general con-
graduating him upon what appeared
TO be an almost impossible task-the
practical determination of typhoid
fever as soldiers disease.

Capt. Morey Greets Wife
and Troopers in Ell PGsO

Captain Lewis Morey, who was in
command of Troop K at Carrizal,
reached FL Paso yesterday afternoon
from Columbus, in time to be at the
international bridge when the survi-
vors of the old troop reached the bor-
der as prisoners. The meeting be-
tween Captain Morey and his negro
troopers was almost as affecting as
was that between Captain Morey and
his young wife, who had given him up
for dead and had returned to her
home at Austin, but hurried here
when she learned her husband was
alive.
Captain Morey arrived at the Union
Station wearing civilian clothes and
slipped through the large crowd which
was there to meet him. His wife
missed him and he did not find her
until he had walked through the sta
tion three times
After taking Mrs. Morey to the hotel
Captain Morey hurried to the Sante
Fe bridge to see his troopers cross
The soldiers were overJoyed at seeing
their commander, and Luther Alex
ander. one of the wounded, wept for
joy as he shook hands with Captain
Morey with his good hand.

MYSTERIOUS SHIP SEEN.
Stranger Playing Searchlight on
Charleston.

Mystery surrounds the source of
searchlight rays that played on the
harbor entrance and Sullivan's Is
land Saturday night, the rays COM
ing apparently from the open sea.
The most probable explanation of the
origin of the binding flashes is that
an allied cruiser was off the harbor
entrance keeping an eye open for the
possible appearance in this vicinity
of the submarine Bremen. A week
or so ago about 9 o'clock in the even
ing, persons on the Battery noted
searchlight rays flashing toward all
points of the compass and apparent
ly coming from the vicinity Of the
Isle of Palms. It was afterward
learned that the government search
light on Sullivan's Island was not
used that night and definitely ascer-
tanned that the searchlight on the
submarine at the Isle of Palms is not
powerful enough to be seen from the
city. Very evident. it is, that some
ship not far at sea, is keeping Char
lesion harbor under surveillance

MANNING IS CONFIDENT.
Pleased With Campaign So Far, and
Believes He Will Be Reelected.

Columbia, August 3.-"I am very
much pleased with the progress OF
the campaign and am confident OF
my reelection" said Governor Man
ming here Tuesday before leaving for
Sumter to begin the sixth week swing
around the State. Governor Man
ming is bearing up we'll under the in
cessant strain of campaigning, is
very enthusiastic over the support
that he has found in every part of
South Carolina and is thoroughly op-
timistic over his chances of serving
the people a second term as their
executive.
1T is a campaign that is worth
fighting," emphatically continued the
governor; there is no place in it for
compromise or for neutral posi-
ton. The issues are as closely de-
fined as they were in 1914. The main
question is simply whether the law
shall continue to be enforced and re-
spect for the law upheld on the plane
to which it has been restored in the
past year and half, or whether the
verdicts of the juries and the DEGREES
of the courts shall be set aside.
"Besides this there is the improve.
ment in conditions of labor to be car.
ried on; the education of our boys
and girls to be continued along tht
line already mapped out; and the
welfare of the unfortunates in thu
State Hospital for the Insane to be
safeguarded with sympathy, intelli
gence and care. For all these things
I stand.
''Those who would violate the law
will vote against me, those who op
pose the legislation I have recon
mended and signed for labor's better
ment will vote against me; those wht
oppose better education for the chill
dren of the State will vote agains
me-and they will be wise to do so
for these things to my mind are fun
damental and 1 will not compromise
them.
But the course of the campaign
has already shown that these per
sons are in the minority; that they
do not and cannot control the State

ment and education will go forward
This cause, which was my platform
two years ago and is my platform
now, is becoming each day more ant
more a fixed policy demanded by thu
