Actors Incomes.

In the American Magazine a well
known critic tells what he knows
about actors salaries. He says:
"In computing an actors income one
must remember also that the only ex-
pense met by the management is that
Of railroad fare. The actor on tour
pays for his sleeping car accommoda-
lions. Also it Is the general custom to
require the player to purchase at his
own expense all modern wardrobe.
This burden falls particularly hard
upon women in plays of contemporary
life. In each act a different gown
must be worn, and the costuming Of
part in a strikingly mOdish way is al
most as important as the ability to
act"

LOOK FOR BRIGADE LEADER
Gen. c. r. Boardman Mentioned for
Commander of Wisconsin
Troops in Field.

Milwaukee-There is a great deal of
interest among military men of Wis.
consin as to the probable commander
of the Wisconsin brigade if it takes
the field as a brigade unit.
There are now enough companies in
Wisconsin to constitute brigade. For
this a brigadier general may be named
and for the regiment of cavalry a
| colonel would have to be selected.
One of the first to be mentioned for
the command of the brigade of infan-
try is Gen. c. R. Boardman, Oshkosh,
former adjutant general of Wisconsin.
His friends say that for years and dur
ing the Spanish-American war he was
directly to be credited for the excel
lence of the Wisconsin troops, and he
is known nationally as one of Wis
consin's citizen soldiers.
One Wisconsin military man said
tnat if Gen. Boardman should decline.
regular army officers would probably
be taken into consideration for the
places. The two already talked of are
Capt. William Mitchell, at present
member of the general staff of the
United States army, and Capt. Lor-
raine T. Richardson, who is now as
signed to Wisconsin as inspector and
Instructor at Madison. Capt. Mitchell
started with the Wisconsin troops as
private in the Spanish-American
war, and has made his connection with
the army his life's career. He is a son
of the late Senator John L. Mitchell
and has been in charge of the avia-
ton corps.

Order Booms Recruiting.

Milwaukee, June 20.-Orders for the
mobilization of the Wisconsin National
guard led to boom in recruiting. The
names of about fifty applicants were
taken by the officers of the yarious
companies during Sunday night and
Monday. Officers believe that if nee
essary the companies easiuy will be
recruited to full war strength.
Two married men in one company
reported to their officers that to 90
at this time would entail severe hard
ships upon their families, but asserted
they would answer the call and trust
that some way would be found to keen
their wives and children from want.

THE CALL TO ARMS

The militia of all the states were
called to the colors in the following
statement addressed to the governors
of the various states by Secretary of
War Baker:
Having in view the possibility of
further aggression upon the territory
of the United States and the necessity
for the proper protection of that from
tier, the president has thought proper
to exercise the authority vested in him
by the Constitution and the laws and
call out the organized militia and the
National Guard necessary for that pur-
pose.
Il am in consequence, instructed by
the president to call into the service
of the United States through you, the
following units of the organized mill
tia and the National Guard of the state
of ............. which the president
directs shall be assembled at the state
mobilization point ...... Cor at the
place to be designated to you by the
commanding general, eastern depart

the American side.
Badger Guard Second to None.
According to the latest report Of
Gen. Miles to the war department di
vision of military affairs, the Wiscon
sin National guard is second to none
in efficiency and excellence. In per
centage of companies marked excel
lent" very good and good il
ranks with that of New York, Massa
chusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania
Illinois, Minnesota. and all other
states. These states are excellent only
in number of men.
The war department gave the Wis
consin National guard the highest
compliment in years when, in 1912, il
issued special order in which it stat
ed:
1.-THE Wisconsin National guard may
well serve as model in efficiency, dis
cipline and business administration.
Much credit for this is due to the
efforts of Brig.-Gen. Charles King OF
Milwaukee, former adjutant general
who for many years has been detailed
by the war department as Inspector
instructor.
Included in the Wisconsin National
guard are three machine companies
one to each regiment and each equip
ped with four machine guns. These
guns are carried by mules. They are
set on one-foot tripods and fire slips
of 30-caliber shells containing thirty
cartridges in 2 Ia seconds. They aver
age 600 to 800 shells per minute, each
shell capable of travelling 81 miles
and penetrating forty-eight inches in
pine at range of 800 feet. These
guns, of which there are 1900 in the
state, pour out streams of lead as a
garden hose pours out streams of wa
ter.
Battery A has four guns of 3-inch
caliber, capable of firing shrapnel or
high explosives, effective upto six
miles.
The rife which the National guard
uses is the same one used by the army.
1t is the 1903 magazine rifle, firing a
30-caliber bullet which weighs $50
grains. The shell contains so grains
of powder. The magazine holds five
shells, which can be fired in rapid
succession. The muzzle velocity of the
bullet is 2,740 feet per second The
bullet travels 81 miles. 1t will kill a
man at range of one mile, but the
naked eye cannot distinguish a man
at that range. Effective firing is pos
sible only at about 1000 to 1900 yards
or three-fourths of mile.
Will Cost 5000 a Day.
Adjt.-Gen. Holway estimates that it
will cost the state $4,000 a day from
now until the Wisconsin troops have
been modified into federal service.
The present mobilization order is
the first general order in Wisconsin
issued since the Spanish-American
war. Three companies were called
out following the Black River Falls
flood in the spring of 1915, but they
remained in service only short time.
An order was looked for during the
American occupation of Vera Cruz in
April, 1914, all companies being in
readiness.

Must Re-EnIist to Cross Border.
There is no danger that any member
of the Wisconsin National guard will
have to face shot 2Id shell unless he
wants to do so. Under the enlistment
law the president has power to order
the National guard only within the
borders of the United States. He is
without power to order any guardsmen
into Mexico. To get the guards into
position to be sent across the border,
1t will be necessary to ask each guard
to enlist as a volunteer. Only after
such enlistment may he be ordered in
to Mexico. That does not mean that
he may not have me opportunity to
get into battle. as he will be required

and this count concludes with the
charge that the Mexican government
itself refused to ratify the agreement
reached, thereby theoretically proving
its own charges unfounded.
The promises of Carranza to redis-
tribute his troops and to pursue ban
dts has been so badly kept that this
government has been forced to the
reluctant conclusion that the de facto
government did not, and does not now.
intend or desire that these outlaws
should be captured, destroyed or dis
persed by American troops, or, at the
request of this government, by Mexi-
can troops"
The note accepts the statement of
Carranza that he gave orders to Gen
eral ObregOn to notify this govern
ment that no further punitive eXpedi-
tiOns would be permitted to enter Mex
leo unopposed. but denies that Obre-
gOn ever delivered the ultimatum.
Carranza's charge that this govern
ment has not acted in good faith to-
ward the de facto government in Mex
leo, but has hindered it in a restora-
ton of order in Mexico is not only
denied, but evidence is offered in sup
port of q countercharge of absolute
bad faith by the de factO government
in all its recent dealings with this
government The announcement is
made that until subordinate command
ers of the Mexican government cease
to menace American troops" at their
commands and cooperate with them
in good faith this government twill not
permit munitions of war or machin-
cry for their manufacture to he eX-
ported from this country to Mexico"
Admitting that the punitive eXpedi-
tice to or the consent Of the Mexican
government, this government reiter-
ates its good faith in the promises
made in connection with that eXpedi-
| ton, cites at length numerous in
stances of bad faith on the part of
Mexico in action and negotiations
since the arrival of the expedition
and the simultaneous growth of an
archy throughout Chihuahua. and as
serts that it will neither withdraw the
army nor prevent its entry again
into Mexico Ito protect American lives
and homes-safeguards which General
Carranza though internationally obli-
gated to supply. is manifestly unable
or unwilling TO give"
The charge is conveyed to Carranza
| that by reason of his attitude toward
bandits he is not discharging MeXico's
duty toward the protection of life and
property. land governments neglecting
or failing to perform it are not worthy
of the name" 1t also asserts that if
reasonable excuse exists for Mexico's
failure to discharge this obligation. IL
thereby makes stronger the duty OF
the United States"
In conclusion the NOTE declines the
| Mexican invitation to withdraw Amer
lean troops for the reasons given, in
viteS Mexico to assume and exercise
1 the responsibility which this govern.
ment now feels compelled to assume
but adds that if Mexico persists in
| ignoring this obligation or undertakes
| TO repel or hinder the American punt
tive expedition by attacks. only ''the
: gravest consequences" will ensue.

HOT IABS FROM NOTE
OF U. S. TO CARRANZA

In these attacks ION specified Ameri-
can towns) on American territory Car
ranzista adherents, and even carran-
vista soldiers, took part in the looting,
burning and killing.
Since these attacks leaders of the
bandits, we'll known to both the Mexi-
can civil and military authorities, as
we'll as to American officers, have been
enjoying with impunity the liberty of
the towns of northern Mexico.
On January 10 train was stopped
by Villa bandits and 10 of the Ameri-
can party were stripped of their cloth
ing and shot in cold blood, in what is
now known as the Santa Ysabei mas
sacre"
Within a month after this barbarous
slaughter of inoffensive Americans it
was notorious that Villa was operating
within twenty miles of Cusihuiriachie,
and publicly stated that his purpose
was to destroy American lives and
property.
After numbering, burning and plum
dering, Villa and his bandits, fleeing
south, passed within sight of the Car
ranzista military post at Casas
Grandes, and no effort was made to
stop him by the officers and garrison
of the de facto government stationed
there.
While this government would deeply
regret such result, it cannot recede
from it's settled determination to main-
tain its national rights and to perform
its full duty in preventing further in
vasions of the territory of the United
States and in removing the peril which
Americans along the international
boundary have borne so long with pa
thence and forbearance.
| am reluctant to be forced to the
conclusion which might be drawn from
the circumstances, that the de facto
government, in spite of the crimes COM
mitted and the sinister designs of Villa
and his followers, did not and does not
now intend or desire that these out
laws should be captured, destroyed or
dispersed by American troops or, at
the request of this government, by
Mexican troops.
If a denial is needed that this gov
eminent has had Interior and improper
motives in its diplomatic representa-
tons, or has countenanced the activi-
ties of American sympathizers and the
American press opposed to the de facto
government, am glad most emphati-
caIiy to deny it. 1t is, however, a mat
tar of common knowledge that the
Mexican press has been more active
than the press in the United States in
endeaVoring to nfame the two peoples
against each other and to force the two
countries into hostilities.
