ONE GUARDSMAN
APPLIES FOR RELIEF
Only Local Application Out of
Twenty Received by War
Department.
MAXIMUM TO EACH FAMILY,
FIFTY DOLLARS MONTHLY
All Requests From Camp Ordway
Militiamen Must Be Filed There
at 8 PM. Today.

Out of the twenty applications for
relief for their families so far re-
ceived from national guardsmen all
over the country at the War Depart
ment one came from a local guards
man. 1t was received this morning by
Capt. p. L. Smith of the finance divi-
sion of the depot quartermaster's office
of the War Department, who is in
charge of paying out sums from the
fund of 100000 appropriated by Con-
gress for this work.
All applications from members of
the National Guard of the District of
Columbia at Camp Ordway for relief
under the dependent relative clause in
the recent army appropriation act Will
have to be filed with the camp head
quarters at o'clock today.
Blanks have been distributed to the
guardsmen at Camp Ordway. as well as
at other points throughout the country
where the militia has been organized
and, according to Capt Smith, there Is
no reason for any guardsman's family
suffering for necessities. The money Is
forwarded by check to the family with
in two days at most. after having re-
ceived the filled-out blank.
Appeals may be made to the War De.
partment only by the guardsmen them
selves, and by means of the blanks, sent
through their respective commanding
officers and forwarded to Capt. Smith
There is a notable absence of the So
called red tape" in this matter.
The maximum monthly amount
allowed each family is $50, and in
nearly all cases a family is given as
much as is asked for, within that
amount. The monthly ratio extends
back to June IS, the time of the mobi-
lization order. so that a guardsman ask
ing $50 a month for his family will
receive about s125 for his first payment
up to September l.
Now that actual work of relief has
been started by the War Department il
is probable that the local Citizens Wei
fare Association. which has been doing
relief work among the dependents OF
local guardsmen, will cease it's efforts
within a short time

Troops Here Nav Soon Move.


1t seems to be accepted at the War
Department, however. that the District
units at Camp Ordway before many
days will receive orders to proceed to
the border. in accordance with the pol
icy of releasing the militia troops
which have had service on the border
and replacing them with troops in mo-
bilizatfon camps. The troops today or
dered south will relieve an equal NUM-
Der of those already there.
AS a general proposition the border
troops are being mustered out in the
order of length of service, but there
are some exceptions, and when the Dis
trtct troops in Arizona will come home
depends entirely on the plans of Cen
Funston, officer in command on the
border.
The Sd Infantry and other District
units at the Virginia camp may rein
force the District troops in Arizona. or
they may simply relieve Them or il
may be found advisable to assign them
TO different station. 1t is said to be
practically settled that unless the Dis
trict troops are to be sent to the Next
can front they will be mustered out
of the federal service before many DAYS
and permitted to resume their civic en-
ployment.
Gen. Harvey Not to Go to Border.
Brig. zen. Harvey, commanding the
District National Guard, who has been
on duty with the District troops al
Camp Ordway ever since they entered
the federal service, will not accompany
them to the Mexican border, in the
event that they go, but will resume his
former status in command of what is
left here of the local National Guard
Several weeks ago he applied for
service, commensurate with his rank,
with troops in the field The applica-
ton was sent to Gen. Funston, COM
handing the army on the Mexican bor-
der and in Mexico; and has been re-
turned to the War Department with
the information that there are no va
cancies in any of the brigade commands
in his department and that no more
general officers are required under ex-
listing military conditions.
The District troops in federal service
at this time do not constitute a brigade
calling for the service of a general
officer under the regulations of the
regular army. Gen. Harvey will con-
tinue his present duties as long as the
District camp is maintained near Fort
Myer. -
