GUARD PROMISED
BORDER SERVICE
Soldiers Are Restless at Inac-
tivity and Fear Loss
of Jobs.

Brig Gen. William E. Harvey. COM
ma anding the District National Guard. has
been assured by high War Department
official who resides at Fort Myer that
the remaining District troops now at
Camp Ordway will be sent to the border
as soon as the railroad strike is settled.
AS soon as the railroad presidents and
the heads of the brotherhoods agree on
terms and a rail war is aveTted, the Third
Infantry. Battery A and Troop A will
leave for Bisbee. he told Col. Harvey.
Nevertheless, the fear at Camp Ordway
now is that the troops never will see the
border. With the withdrawal of Per-
shing's Mexican column recommended,
the men fear that their presence on the
border will not be considered necessary.
The fact that the Twenty-second Infan-
try has been ordered from Bisbee means
that a regiment of infantry is no longer
needed there. some of the officers and
men think, and they are afraid that the
Third District Infantry may not get
chance to go there.
The two months of camp life have hard
ened the men and they have enjoyed the
time, but they are restless now, when.
after promise on promise of departure.
they still are at Camp Ordway. Send
us to the border or muster US OUT is
the attitude of a large number of the
men. Many want to return to their civil
occupations for fear that II they are
kept in the service much longer they will
lose their jobs in the city.

GONzAGA PLANS
FALL CAMPAIGN
Effort Will Be Made to Ex-
ceed Last Years
Enrolment.

Alumni Of Gonzaga College held their
summer meeting in the Phocian De-
batting Hall yesterday to lay plans for the
campaign for new students. Rev. Paul
R. Coniff, S. J., newly appointed presi
dent of GonZaga, welcomed the old boys
and urged on the work.
Last years successful campaign has
aroused the spirit OF the members, and it
is thought that this falls enrolment in
the high school will exceed that of any
previous year.
Henry I. Quinn. president OF the Alumni
Association, proposed that committees
be formed to canvass every parish in
Washington and to enlist the support of
ladies in the various parishes interested
in the success and advancement of Con
zaga. The committees have been ap-
pointed and work will start iInmedis tely.
Judge O'Callaghan, prominent alumnus,
suggested that each member call on par
ents of boys in his own parish who were
graduated from the eighth grade, and in
this way cooperate with the efforts of
the committees.
Rev. Augustus J. Dwarte, S. j.. prefect
of studies and ce-president of Coma ga,
spoke OF the advantages of Catholic ed
ucation and the need of creating a strong
public opinion to promote its interests.
Mr.. Rosa F. Downing also spoke and
approved the suggestions made to in
crease Gonzagas student body.
Action on a proposed automobile out
ing, suggested for new students and
members of the campaign committee.
was deferred until the next meeting Of
the alumni, Friday, September /, at 7:3O
o'clock, IN the Phocian Hall.

Special to The Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald.
New York, Aug. 2o.-The fact that Nine.
A. de Thebes, well-known French clair
voyant and astrologer. has predicted that
the war will cease suddenly this year, Is
regarded with interest in view of the fact
that she predicted the war would begin
RerIininsske Tidende has had an inter
view with her in which she foretells the
end of the war, giving the following mes
sa ge:
Germany has opened the eyes OF the
world and has given us all a great lesson
in military efficiency and preparedness.
We will always have war. OF course, 1t
is nice to dream of peace, TO preach peace
and to wish for peace. but as long as
there are two men left on the earth con-
ficts will take place 1t Is the same with
nations.
War will never cease between nations,
because war belongs to the natural order
of things and the present war will teach
even the smallest nations that they must
always be prepared for war. The wolf
will deyour the lamb when he gets an op-
portunity.
II have predicted that the war will end
this wear. and I desire to say now, despite
all circumstances and arguments to the
contrary. that peace will be declared be-
fore the new year. And peace will come
suddenly and Unexpectedly. The roar of
the gins will cease overnight, and the
soldiers on both fronts will be called home
TO peaceful pursuits. Fate has so de-
creed it"
