Question Of Joint High Commission
Believed to Depend on Subject
Of Withdrawal.

Border dispatches conveyed the first

petition OF American civilians into
Mexico by automobile in pursuit Of the
bandit who murdered William Parker
81. These reached the War Depart
ment from Gen. Pershing. Tho bandit
escaped.

left the department early, as did other
officials in other departments occupied
with the Mexican situation. because Of
the half holiday. Before leaving Mr..
Polk said there was nothing to an
nounce as to tho progress Of negotia-
tons between the department and
Eliseo Arredondo. tho Mexican ambas-
sador designate. for a settlement of
tho questions between the two coun-
tries. It Is believed that an announce
mont will be forthcoming toward the
end Of this week as to what the plan
is for an international joint commits
sion to discuss and settle the Mexican
trouble.
Rumors concerning this plan continue
to be circulated, but the State Depart
ment maintains its silence. In some
quarters there Is belief that the ques-
ton OF whether there shall be such a
commission or not depends on whether
the State Department will consent to
such a commission discussing the with
drawal of United States troops from
Mexico. The United States attitude
heretofore. has been that as., the troops oops

being gradually withdrawn. it is not
the desire of the United States to
make their complete withdrawal part

CAVALRY TROOP NEEDS
TWENTY-FIVE RECRUITS
Must Add to Enrolment to Become
Eligible for Transfer to Mex
lean Border.

Troop A, cavalry, needs twenty-five
men to complete it's roster so that 1,
may be sent to the front for border
for good material to join the troop, and
it is hoped to obtain enough men with
college degrees to enlist so that the
troop can be reported ready to leave
for the border by the end of this week
These men. like others in this camp
now are very anxious to get away.
They are firing Of the monotony of re-
naming in one place SO long. Besides
they want to get to the front where
they can use their own horses. They
are now using the horses of the regu-
lar cavalry at Fort Myer.
May Leave Present Week.
The troop. it is understood, may be
permitted to leave for the border by
the end of the week. provided 1t can
obtain enough men to reach the mini
mum peace strength. Many of the
members of the troop were rejected as
a result of the physical examinations,
and more than a dozen from the bureau
of standards of the Department of
Commerce were returned to their civ
ilian duties by direction OF Secretary
Baker
Practically all Of these men were en-
gagged In investigations in connection with
textiles used in the manufacture Of the
uniform for the soldiers OF the army and
militia. and 1t was necessary to complete
these examinations at as early a time as
possible.
Should Become Recruiters"
It has been suggested that those men
who were compelled to leave this organi-
zation for any reason should form them
selves into recruiting officers and attempt
to find men to take their places. The mat
ter was being talked of seriously in the
cavalry troop last night, and 1t IL prob
able this means will be used to obtain re-
cruits for the organization.

It was tho first parade and review of
the camp. Without the heavy field

swinging stride Of seasoned regulars.
the troops. tanned from their month OF
outdoor service, marched before the
reviewing officers and brought forth
favorable comment from the regulars.
When the organizations passed the
reviewing officers. the alignment was

as by one man alone. 1t only indicated
what a few weeks Of intensive train
ing could do to a body Of men who
had the basis Of a military training
for field service.
