GEN. HARVEY WILL CD
With District MEN
Local Contingent to Be Made Tech
nical Brigade" So the Commanders
Can Accompany Them to Border.

Despite the fact that he and his staff
were not included in the Presidents call,
General Harvey and his staff will ac-
company the District militia to the bcr-
der. Personal assurances to this effect
we're given Gen. Harvey at the War
Department yesterday.
The District forces do not comprise
a brigade. and there is consequently no
place for the Brigadier General, within
the strict letter of the military law.
In the case of General Harvey, however,
Secretary Of War Baker has promised
to make an exception.
General Harvey was elated last night.
I have been waiting twenty-five years
for a crack at this sort of thing" he
said. II was unable to go to Cuba
back in '9S. and I was afraid my la st
chance was gone. Then came the call
for the District boys-and I was left
out. But it's all fixed now.
Il hope, and have reason to believe
we will get our orders for the bor-
der before many days. The orders can't
come too soon. And II they give US
chance we'll show them something"
From high official Of the War Depart
ment It was learned last night that, in
order to make place for Gen. Harvey
and his staff, the District militia will
be considered as a technical BRIGADE. &"
The members of General Harvey's staff
are Maj. Joseph c. Castner, and Mai.
Harry Coope, both adJutant generals.
