ROUTINE DUTIES FILL DAY

DOUGLAS, Ariz., July Ito as great
an extent as possible the New Jersey sold
iers stayed under the shelter of their tents
today Without cessation the rain fell in
torrents all day long and unless there were
duties that had to be attended to few of
the Jersey guardsmen ventured out in the
wet. dsaErecable walking in the best
drained sections of the camp and in the
imperfectly ditched parts the men We're
compelled to wade through Veritable
sea of solf oozy mud. The Men heat with
its accompanying showers of dust and sand,
or the rainy season with its periodical
showers and steady rains with the most
dlsaEreeable walking they have ever eX-
perienced.
The horses had to he cared for and other
routine duties and the unit commanders
made every effort to keep the men dry and
sheltered, knowing the dangers of pneu-
monia in this section of high attitudes.
In many of the outfits the day was spent
in checking up personal equipment. The
carelessness of the enlisted men in leaving
their belongings laying around and conse-
quently losing them Is a source of con-
stant worrimentt to the commanders who
are personally charged with the equip
ent.
Visits to the border are becoming n fad
with the guardsmen and parties of them go
from the camp to the international line to
look things over. They have to watch their
steps very closely to keep from getting over
into Mexico because the boundary line is
unmarked except at long intervals. and it
is very easy to step across the imaginary
boundary into Sonora.
The rehabilitation of the Federal forces
here under General p. Bliss Gales, the
commander of Sonora State, is being fol-
lowed by the return of hundreds of refugees
who fled from Mexico into this country at
the time n break seemed imminent In
Douglas alone there are approximately 400
such refugees, and the first OF these left
here today for their homes and business
places as far as 200 miles in the interior of
Mexico.
General Gales is discharglng the volun-
teers who had swelled his army, told them
that he wanted them to return to their
homes and their farms and turn their
thoughts to peace and the provision of their
families.
General Gales action was followed al
most Immediately by the reopening of the
customs houses along the border of Sonora
and Arizona, by the resumption of railroad
traffic and by the return of refugees into
Mexico, General Gales promised protection
for all foreigners and their property.
The announcement OF the rehabilitation
of troops and the guarantees made by Gen
eral Gales for the safety of the foreigners
and their property is of vast Significance
to the copper mining interests who were
compelled to shut down pending the settle
ment Of the international complications.
Most of the leading copper miners of Mex
leo, or that section in the state of Sonora,
fed with the other Americans, shutting
down all works They are going back now

When water flowed from the faucets in
west philadelphia homes today members OF
the family who had been out of town lately
wanted 10 know where the odor came from.
others asked whether the Water Bureau had
ordered them gassed. There was smell
ahout the water suggestive of chlorine and
other things. Investigation revealed that
the principal cause OF the odor was chlorine.
Today was the eighth since West Phila-

firemen extinguish a slight blaze today

was no need for fire drill, and the en-
ployes calmly looked on as the hremen
worked against the flames The loss was

great that the police found 1t necessary to
clear the streets.

BIG BASS DRUM "BEATS 1T"
WITHOUT WARNING TATTOO
Stout-Bodied Musical Instrument Dis
appears Through Thin Window

The police are looking for a mysterious
bass drum II is about four feet two inches
tall, rather stout and OF mottled complexion
It's skin is also somewhat chafed. 1t has
dark wooden body and weighs about 10
pounds.
This drum was very efficient in its work
and said TO be hard to beat in this connec-
tion. Despite the fact that 1t can make
noise, it was stolen from the basement OF
the Hooper NJ Il. Church. And the beater
also beat IT," Likewise the thief who
pounced upon 1t unawares.
The drum belonged to the S4th Ward Stone
mems Band and was to have appeared in
the parade prior TO the outing of Stonemen
today at Belmont Plateau.
AS the bass drum was fat and the win
dow which through il was taken is thin,
the police wonder how the thief got away
with the job.
Special Policeman Seal, of the 61st and
Thompson streets station, is trying to solve
the mystery. The drum was on his beat.
