D. c. Troops Across River to
Go In Three Weeks, Army
Heads Say.
0NLYAlACK OF FUNDS
WILL FRUSTRATE PLANS
All Militia in Mobilization Camps to
See Border Service Before Be-
ing Mustered Out.

Further assurances that the Sd In
A. Field Artillery. the District troops
which remain at the mobilization camp
near Fort Myer. will go to the Mexican
border before they return to their civil
ian occupations were received at the
War Department last night. Officials at
the department freely indicated that
these troops, along with other troops
still remaining In the mobilization
camps. would be on the way to tho bor-
der within three weeks.
Secretary Baker is personally super
vising all guard movements. He is de-
termined that every guard unit shall
undergo border service and training
before it is discharged. and intends to
use the troops in state camps to re-
lieve those on the border SO that the
latter may return home and be muster
ed out Of the federal service.
1t is known that Secretary Baker.
several days ago, gave assurances to
persons swho called on him, that the
District troops now in camp near Fort
Myer would go to the border.
Only Lack Of Funds Will Prevent.
One thing may alter this policy.
That Is the lack of funds available for
transportation. Although no account OF
the expenditures incident to the border
situation has been made public reports
indicate that the department practical
ly has exhausted its funds. and will
face a heavy deficit before another ap-
preparation can be secured from Con-
gress to meet the expenses of the bor-
der campaign. If the guard movements
continue 1t will be necessary to have
an urgent deficiency appropriation bill
put through as soon AS Congress meets
in December.
The North Carolina National Guard
was ordered to the border yesterday.

about 3.100 men, including the 1st, Cd
and Cd Infantry regiments. two troops

one field hospital corps. The move
ment is in keeping with Secretary
ganizations to the border for service
and training as rapidly as possible.
The sending of the North Carolina
troops probably will effect the release
Of other guard regiments now on the
border.
Exclusive Of the North Carolina or

Beck-Atkinson

Ocala has never seen a more beauti-
full church wedding, nor one in which
more general and sincere interest was
taken, than that of Wednesday night,
at which Miss Annie Margaret Akin
son gave her hand to Mr.. Alfred John
Beck.
The bride is the youngest daughter
Of Mr.. Montholon Atkinson, an old
citizen of the Fellowship section, who
passed away, full of years and honors
few years ago. Since she was lit
tie girl, she has made her home with
her brother-in-law and sister, Mr.. and
Mrs. S. t. Sistrunk, and in the years
in which she grew from pretty child
hood to lovely womanhood, she has
won the love and confidence of un-
counted friends. For almost five years
she was the society editor of the Star,
and by her tact and talent won the
greatest praise for herself and added
to the interest and popularity of the
paper. She is graduate of our high
school, the. president OF its flrst
alumni association, and for years eff
ficiently served as secretary of the
Woman's Club. She has lived among
us life of beauty and usefulness; it
is probable that no other young wom-
an of our city has more friends or
deserves them more.
Mr.. Beck, the only son of that hon
ored citizen, Mr.. L. j. Beck, who pass
ed to his reward some years ago, has
lived in Ocala since he was little
boy. Working his own way up from
school boy to a successful business
and professional man, he has filled his
various places in life with compe-
tence and integrity that has won for
him the confidence and friendship of
all who knew him. Something over
