Says Guards Came for Work.
1--WE did not come down hers to
drill, or for pleasure, but for work
and tell your men just what l have
said" That was the message of Gen.
James Parker, commander of the
Brownsville district, when he visited
Camp Llano Grapde for the first time
and talked to the $50 field and staff
officers of the Minnesota brigade.
There is no necessity of going into
Mexico today" he said, "but no one
can tell but that tomorrow new gov
eminent will make an attempt on the
present one. Then we will go in, in
all probability, and help in the estab-
lishment of stable government"
Long Stay Indicated.
His visit has renewed speculation as
to when the Third would be sent
home, or when they would go across
the line, if the militia is to be sent into
the neighboring country.
Preparations here are on such a
large scale that everything points to a
long stay, in the face of the agitation
throughout the states designed to
bring matters to head in the near
future.
Large warehouses have been built,
and stores supplies of all kinds, in.
Guiding clothing, ammunition and food
have been stored ready for use.
Thirty-three large motor trucks re.
Gently were added to those stationed
at Llano Grande, and line of them ia
constantly moving between the camp
and nearby towns, carrying supplies.
Permanent kitchens, rooted and
screened, are being built, and floors
will be put in all tents, making them
suitable for use in winter as we'll as
summer.
Another issue of clothing, the third
since the Duluth men reported at
their armory in June, will be made in
the near future, acquisitions having al
ready gone forward.
