These are the principal organizations

OF the District guard will have the

There are sixteen companies OF in

A large reserve Of militia also will be

NATIONAL GUARD
OFFICERS ABROAD
Embassy and Consulate in Lon
don Report Many Inquiries.

LONDON. June A.-The American en-
bassy and consulate received several in
quiries today from American national
guard officers. who desired to know
whether their presence was required at
home.
Several Of these officers already have
been instructed by cable to return by
the first available steamship and join
their regiments Some OF the delegates
OF the American commission for relief
OF Belgium in northern France have
been ordered to return Immediately.
A number of officers OF the Seventh
New York Regiment are employed In
English branches of American firms.
No official information has been re-
ceived thus far at the consulate IN re-
gard to these cases.
Officials here state there will be no
difficulty in regard to orders to return,
as the officers concerned are ready to
go. 1t Is stated that passports for the
protection of the American Government
might be refused to those who decline
TO respond to the call, but thin is merely
academic. as there Is no indication Of
any such refusal.

TREASURY IN SHAPE
TO MEET EXPENSES
Canal Bonds Can Be Issued to
Obtain Funds.

II the Mexican crisis should reach the
point of extended military operations
the question of financing them will be-
come very vital. But the condition of
the Treasury is such that 1t Is thought
that extraordinary measures will not
have to be adopted Immediately.
The net balance IN the general fund
of the Treasury today, including $57,
5OS.OO0 to the credit Of disbursing offi-
GERS, is $142 s12. 900. Secretary McAdoo
estimates that Individual and corporate

Of this month, which ends the fiscal
year, the Government would have on
hand considerably more than 600. 900.
900.
The President has at hand one means
of raising money for military purposes
In the existing authorization for Pan
ANA Canal bonds.
There remains available for issue 3240.-
100000. and he can order such issue as
being that the Panama Canal bonds
which bear 3 per cent interest, shall
not be sold below par.
There has been an idea that with the
Federal reserve system In operation the
difficulty of raising moneys for wal
would be reduced. But 1t is doubtful
II the reserve banks would have much
to do with q war loan. The banks now
have about all the bonds they can carry
and members of the Federal reservt
board today said that they did moi
think the reserve banks would be II
the market for war bonds.
From a high official It Ia learned thai
nothing had been done yet to arrange
for financing any military operations
against Mexico. The expense of mobile
ing the militia will for the present a
least be paid out OF the annual appro
priation for the militia.

FEDERAL OFFICERS
TO HUNT STRAGGLERS

Asked to Look for Missing
Members OF Militia

The Uniteti States marshal OF the Dis
trict WIN probably be appealed to today
or tomorrow to round UP oil enlisted
men of the national guard who failed
to respond to the order for mobiliza-
ton.
The number OF men who failed to re-
spond to orders from their company
commanders was very small. but there
are some stragglers.
Last night small details OF men from
each company having missing men
secured the city for the recalcitrants.
The men. when found. were taken to
the armory to give an account or them
selves before their company COM
mander.
As all the enlisted men were dts
missed after the inspection yesterday
and permitted to return to their homes.
no effort was made to keep the stray
glers who were brought In overnight.
They We're allowed to depart. with
strict injunctions to report at o'clock
this morning.
The officers Of the nationa, guard
announce that failure to report after
the troops have been ordered out Is a
very serious ofrense. and the officers are
authori5ed to use all the powers OF
men and bring them back.
This means that United States mar
shals and police departments in every
city in the country will be requested
to arrest and return to the District the
offending soldiers.
Trial by court-martial can be ordered
and the soldie' sent to prison for a term
of years.
Members Of the reserve of the various
COMPANIES of the national guard-that
Is, men who have served three years
with the COMPANIES and have been re-
leased from further obligations except
target practice ard regular reports by
mail or In person as to their address
are affected IL tho same way as reg
ularly enlisted men.
1t Is stated at national guard head
quarters tina. very few reservists have
failed to report. Some OF them live In
distant parts OF the country now, al
though still carried on the reserve list.
Practically all such men have reported
by telegraph. They are arriving In the
city as. fast as they can close their
business affairs and get here.

HOUSE TO RUSH ARMY
MEASURE THROUGH
Bill Given Right Of Way In the
Lower Chamber, Because o:
Mexican Crisis.

The Mexican crisis and the approach
OF a new fiscal year gave the army
appropriation bill the right Of way In
the House today.
The bill Is to be rushed through the
House. and IL possible through the Sen.
nte. before the beginning Of another ns-
cal year as there must be no Interrupt
ton at this time IN the availability Of
money for the army.
In order to take UP the army bill to-
day tho House had to sidetrack the
sundry civil appropriation bill. THE
Dill. which has been under debate. was
laid aside because It does not have 90
vital a bearing on national defense, and
the existing situation on the border.
The army budget, carrying about
$l65, 100000. provides money for putting
into operation the new army reorganisa-
ton measure, which was approved June
3. and likewise appropriates for the en-
tire expenee OF tho army for the next
year.
1t IL regarded as certain that amend
ments must be added to the army ap-
preparation bill because of the recently.
developed crisis In Mexico. The bill
was framed when there was not great
emergency. Many extraordinary ex-
penscs are now arising
Supplies and maintenance for the bor-
der troops and the national guard nre
among the problems confronting tho
War Department and the legislative
branch of the Government, and indica-
lions arc that many millions must BIZ
added to the army budget. the amounts
added 10 be Immediately available. The
War department has estimated that 4
will require about s.. OK, 900 to equip the
national guard with the necessary num-
Der of horses. Other unexpected ex-
Mexican situation, undoubtedly, will In
crease the total of the army bill.
