SENATOR PAGE.

United States Senator Carroll :. Page
will meet with opposition ii he decides to
be a candidate for reelection. We use
the if as a matter of precauton, for al
though there are many indications that
the gentleman from Hyde Park has con
Stunning desire to return to Washington for
another term he has yet to take the poo
pie of the state into his confidence re-
garding his aspirations. Some folks pro
fess to be annoyed at Senator Pages atti-
tudc but very few, if any, are surprised
Nermont's junior senator has never won
a reputation for coming out flat-footed on
any issue, and it is only natural that he
should conduct his campaign for re-elec-
ton along the lines that have marked his
course in Congress. He has written hun
dreds of letters in an effort to ascertain
the attitude of his constituents and has
inquired about the rates for political ad-
vcrtising in the state newspapers, but
nothing has come to our attention that
resembles an official declaration of his can
ddacy.
As for the Page opposition it is safe to
say that it will be found in the person OF
ex-Gov. Allen NJ Fletcher of Cavendish,
Mr.. Fletcher has yet to make an Official
announcement, but evidence that he plans
to do so before long is increasing steadily.
Gov Charles w. Gates also is said to have
an eye on Senator Pages seat, while nu-
merous other names have been mentioned
in connection with the senatorship fight
Whatever may be the outcome OF the
campaign it is safe to say that Senator
Page has no great hold on the Republican
voters at this end of the state. Active
opposition to his candidacy may not exist
at present but the opportunity to organize
it waits only upon publicity.

ON THE BRINK OF WAR
National Guard of Country Called
Out for Mexican Border Duty
Threatening Conditions Along Bounda-
ny Caused President to Take Action
Americans Killed in Clash.

The United States is on the brink of
war with Mexico.
Because of threatening conditions along
the international boundary President
Wilson through Secretary of War Baker
issued orders Sunday for the mobilization
of the entire national guard of the coun-
try. Since then militia regiments have
been gathering at various state camps,
and as soon as possible after they are
mustered into the federal service they
will be sent to Texas for patrol duty along
the Rio Grande. The militia strength
of the United States amounts to about
$4,000 men.
No offensive attack on Mexico is
planned, but the administration wants a
military force adequate to defend the Dor
der against bandit raids and to act in case
General Carranza should carry out his
threat to attack the American expedition
AIRY forces engaged in chasing bandits
south of the border.
y note fatty rejecting Carranza's de-
mand for the withdrawal of United States
troops from Mexico was forwarded to the
First Chief Tuesday. The message also
rebuked the Carranza government for the
discourteous tone of its last communica-
tiohs anu Sldltu tndU any move
against this country would meet with the
gravest consequences. Up to last night
no reply to the note had been received
Washington officials have admitted pri
vatey that they fear war, although it is
known that representatives of foreign
powers are using their utmost endeavors
to prevent break.

rangements for 10 strokes being the
call for Company | of the Vermont Ma
tional Guard, and such as did remem-
Der that the arrangement was made a
year ago, when the first mixing of
trouble with Mexico was heard, had
forgotten it.
But most of the members of Com
pany l, within hearing of the whistle
and bell, realized what it meant and
recalled the prophecy of Capt. E. w.
Gibson of the company at drill last
week Thursday night that he believed
that within short time the company
would be called upon for active duty
and he wished the men prepared. -
Capt. Gibson, himself, knew Sunday
evening that call was liable to come
during the night. He returned during
the early evening from Chester, where
he had motored with his family to
spend the day with relatives of Mrs
Gibson. He had met Attorney General
Herbert &. Barber who had heard from
a high state official that the call was
to go out during the night.
AS the Brattlcboro members of the
company continued to reach the Ar
mory and get into field uniforms, 9th
err members of the company who had
been reached by telephone and tcie-
graph at their homes or places of en-
ployment in other towns and cities be-
gan to arrive. The first train from
Springfield brought Sergeant John J.
Clune, one of the two veterans of the
Spanish American war service, who
had answered the call from Northamp-
ton, Mass, where he is now employed.
From Vernon came two of the boys,
who were Brought to the Armory by II.
A. Staten in an automobile. Almost
at the same time a telephone message
was received from Putney that another
member who was working there had
received word and was leaving by au-
tomobile. And so it was all through
the morning hours.
Not only were members of the com
pany responding to the CALL but young
men who had never seen service and
who had never felt the call of joining
the organization were hurrying to the
Armorv' and asking to he examined
and accepted as recruits. By the time
Lieut.. H. w. Taylor, assistant surgeon,
had reported there several were await
ing his examination and two were ac-
cepted early while many more were re-

pany headquarters in the state for
that purpose.
Tuesday morning the company was
early at the work of drill being in
command Of Lieut.. Spaulding, and
working on the streets and the COM
mon in company formation. Squads of
rockies were constantly under instruc-
tion in the Armory.
Photographic orders for the departure
of Company !, V. n. G., for the state
camp ground near Burlington were re-
ceived Wednesday at 900 clock by
Capt. Ernest w. Gibson
Changes took place rapidly in
the company. The two veterans of
the Spanish American war who were
members of the company when the cal;
Ito arms was sounded, were discharged
from the service Tuesday. They
were Scrgt. John j. Clune and George
Martin. Both men are employed out
of the state and each has a family of
several children.

Private Wilfrcd Adams, Il former

The Modern Woodmen of America,
in a meeting Tuesday, voted to

Arrangements were completed for n

expenses for music and everyone was in
vited to attend and give the soldier boys

officers, with six members of the First
Regiment band boarded the second see
ton of train Al, to leave for the state
camp ground. The train was due to
leave Brattleboro at S.53 o clock, but
did not pun out of the station until
$50.
The second section was special
train consisting of one baggage ear and
six coaches, which was to pick up the
Bellows Falls and Springfield companies
ON the way to Burlington. 1t followed
as soon after the regular train as
the company could get aboard.
There was no cheering when the en-
CINE finally began to move the train.
Women and children wept openly, as
many of them had been doing during
the long wait at the station. Men,
standing on the platforms, on the side
track. on the tops of freight cars and
on the ledge of Vernon street, raised
their hats and said, many of them in
an ordinary tone of voice that carried
only a few feet: Goodbye and good
luck
The crowd has been variously csti-
mated, but considering the tremendous
jam at the station proper and the
crowd that watched the departure from
many vantage points both close to and
more remote from the station, it is
fair to claim that 5000 of the popula
tion of Brattlcboro with a large sprink
ling of people from ncighboring towns
said farewell to the boys.
While the company was mastering in
the Armory that morning and the last
buckles were being fastened the
last look taken in the lockers to make
sure that nothing had been left behind,
n bulletin was received of n fight that
took place between regular troops Of
the United States and Carranza sol
diers. 1t served, when the news be-
came known at the railroad station af-
ter the arrival of the company there,
to add touch of even greater serious
ness. But it did not effect the boys
in khaki. They have felt from the
first that they would not be long in
Burlington but would soon be on their
way back through Brattleboro to some
point ON the Texas border There had
been no skylarking; not much fooling
among the members since the fire alarm
