The I'd Battalion Of the lst Field
Artillery, y. G. n. Y. with 500 officers
and men, twelve sleek-nosed 3-inch
guns, 800 horses and mules and a long
train Of supply wagons and eaissons, is
on its way 70 Texas. Battery d, the
first section Of the battalion to en-
train left Yonkers last night at 9
o'clock. Battery F got away soon after
midnight. Battery f was the last to
entrain.
The departure came after day OF
perplexity, which left the men so ex-
hausted they could hardly wave good
by TO the small crowd that fingered
around the tracks TO bid them farewell.
Trouble commenced with the order
TO move, received at Van Cortland
Park at $3.50 yesterday morning. OF
the battalion's 500 horses and mules
hardly one-third have been trained for
artillery service. The rest are fresh
from the Western plains, and not at

last night before Battery f and its
equipment arrived at Yonkers.

were loading their green horses INTO

Three persons in New York City are
happy this morning because Mel Shep-
pard, the famous runner, turned his
back on the 69th Regiment when II
came time to take the Federal oath and
marched back to old Manhattan instead
Of toward the Mexican border.
Mrs. Sheppard is happy-and she Is
proud. But six-year Junior Shep-
pard and eight-year-old Adelaide Shep-
pard, who really don't know much
about oaths and guns and Carrizal, are
even happier to sec their daddy eating
with the same knife and fork they
tied white strings around on the day
he started for Camp Whitman with his
regiment.
Sometimes q man can do more for
his country by staying at homo and
caring for his family than by going to
war" Mrs. Sheppard said yesterday az
ternoon when a reporter found her In
the library Of the Sheppard home, in
Long Island City. Just now Mefs
country does not need him and we DO.
There are many men with no oollga-
tons flocking to enlist, and until the
time comes when greater numbers are
needed for defence | believe the men
with familie. should stay at homo ana
see them cared for.

T. r. Spelling FOR A FIGHT:
What we demand is a direct re-
versal of Pres. Wilson's policies, "
says Roosevelt, in an advertisement
signed by him in the November mag
azines.
Let's see just what that would
mean.
1t would mean a repeal of the fed
eral reserve bank law, of the farm
loan law, of the child labor law, of
the Adamson 8-hOur law, of the fed
eral trade relations law and of every
other progressive law passed by con-
gress under Pres. Wilson's leadership
during the past four years.
1t would mean sending an army of
100000 American boys into Mexico
to hazard their lives to save the Gin
vestments" of Wall street, Many Of
these boys would never come back.
It would mean abandoning the pol
icy of neutrality in respect to the Eu=
ropean war and substituting for it a
policy which would land us in the
pit of blood.
It would mean loading the supreme
court with corporation lawyers in
stead Of peoples lawyers.
1t would mean taking the govern
ment of the U. S. out of the hands
of the people and putting it back into
the hands of PenrOse, SmOOt, Lodge,
Crane and the other reactiOnaries.

militia duty has been more of a So

to countless numbers of those who
