Secretary Baker Explains.

Secretary Baker made formal an
nouncement that the troop movement
had nothing whatever to do with the
Mexican situation as such. and was
solely TO relieve thousands of troops
now held in mobilization camps because
they lack a few recruits to bring units
up to fixed minimum strength.
Yesterdays order sends the troops
from Kentucky, Ohio and Vermont to
the border as soon as transportation
can be arranged for them, and will
move all the others as soon as they
are properly equipped.
War DEPARTMENT officials decided on
their action partly because the troops
are restive in camp, and there seemed
to be no stimulus to recruiting while
there was no prospect of movement to
the border. They now expect most of
the regiments to be filled before the
trooDs leave

FEDERAL COURT ACTION
BELIEVED TO BE FACTOR
Massachusetts Man Gets Release
After He has Refused to Take
New Federal Oath.

Between 10000 and $4,000 additional
of the District of Columbia still re-
naming in camp near Fort Myer-wiil
be ordered to the Mexican border
forthwith, irrespective of whether re-
cruited to their required strength OF
not. under the orders sent to army de-
partment commanders of the United
States by the War Department yester-
day afternoon.
AS the total number of National
Guard troops on the border numbers
approximately $4,000, the total num-
Der of all troops-regular and Ma
tional Guard-on the border or in Mex
leo will soon approximate 175,000.
Court Action Important.
Judge Advocate General Crowder of
the War Department yesterday decided
that the action of the federal court at
Boston in ordering the release of a
Massachusetts guardsman at Framing
ham, the state mobilization camp, after
he had refused to take the new fedora
oath, was of such far-reaching impor-
tance that an effort will be made to have
the governments appeal expedited to
the circuit court of appeals and ulti-
mately to the Supreme Court of the
United States. AS conquence of the
decision, four other guardsmen of a
Massachusetts regiment have applied
for writs of habeas corpus to SECURE
their release from military service. The
decision of the court at Boston was, in
effect, that no one may compel the tax
ing of an oath.
Secretary Baker. Attorney General
Gregory and the judge advocate general
of the army held a conference on the
decision of the court at Boston 1t is
believed that the courts decision was
taken into consideration when it was
decided to order all the National Guard
units included in President Wilson'S
call of June Is. which have remained
in the mobilization camps, to the border
al once.

Army Officials Fear Railway Strike

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. August 12.-
Stations for the additional guardsmen
ordered to the border already have been
decided on, Gen. Funston said today.
Army men said they feared consider
able inconvenience if the threatened
railway strike materializes. Trans
portation of troops and supplies would
be badly hampered. unless the govern
n1ent took steps to see that the needs
of the soldiers were looked after.
