pitai company and ambulance COM
pany ordered to the border would be
assigned to the Seventh Division. The
major-general commanding will select
the organizations to be sent home and
the commander of the Southern De-
partment has suggested that the first
to arrive from Pennsylvania be given
precedence in orders to return. The
First, Third and Tenth Infantry were
the first to arrive.
1t has apparently not been deter
mined whether the physical eXami-
nation and muster out of the Pennsyl-
vanla guardsmen will take place at
FL Paso and the men sent direct to
their homes or whether they will be
returned to the mobilization camp at
Mount Gretna. 1t is possible, however,
that because of weather the men may
be mustered out at FL Paso.
The belief here is that the Second
Infantry. now the Second Artillery,
will remain at the border for a time,
as 1t has just received it's ordnance and
material.
Officials here know nothing of re-
ports that there is to be a big review
of guardsmen in Washington on their
return from the border.
The return of the guardsmen will
bring many problems for the men in
charge of the National Guard. There
Will be new auxiliary organizations to
care for and the military appropria-
ton next winter will be greater than
for many years.
Making Big Settlements-Thea au-
ditor generals department is work.

amounting to hundreds of thousands
OF dollars will be closed up this week.
