MILITIA GIVEN MEAT -
YEARS OLD. IS CHARGE
DELUGE OF COMPLAINTS
BEEN RECEIVED BY
CONGRESS

Washington, July 18.-A flood
U complaints of the conditions
under which the militiamen call
ed out for Mexican service are
working has deluged members OF
Congress. The agitation threat
ems to precipitate another scan
dial similar to that of the "enbalm-
ed beef scandal Of Spanish-Am-
erican War days.
Every mail brings letters com
planning Of the quality of food,
shelter and equipment furnished
the citizen soldiery. Many mem
bcrs OF Congress have Sought to
secure information as to these
complaints by formal application
to the War Department. Unless
satisfactory explanations are soon
forthcoming, various members
threaten to force an investigation
by congressional committee.
Some of the complaints declare
that the men on the border are
eating meat that was put in the
tins ten or fifteen years ago. 9th
ers assert that meat has been is
sued in tins that have been in
storage so long that they have
rusted to pieces.
The House is now awaiting a
reply7rom Secretary of War Ba-
ker to a resolution passed a week
ago demanding information as to
the transportation, food and
equipment of the militia.
Representative Moore, of Penn
sylvania, declares that unless the
War Departments reply disprov-
es the charges he will press his
resolution for an investigation.

RURAL CREDIT
BILL IS SIGNED
BY WILSON
DELAYED JUSTICE TO FAR
MER, HE TELLS CON-
GRESS LEADERS

Washington, July LIN the
presence of dozen Senator'S and
Representatives, President Viii
son today signed the rural credits
bill, giving to the farmers of the
country, for the first time, a law
under which they can borrow
money from the government.
Il can not so through the sim
pie ceremony of signing this
without expressing the feeling
have in signing it" the President
said just before he affixed his
signature. 1T is feeling of pro
found satisfaction not only, but
of real gratitude that we have
completed this piece of legislation
which | hope will be immensely
beneficial to the farmers of the
country
The farmers, it seems to me,
have occupied hitherto a singular
position Of disadvantage. They
have not had the same freedom to
get credit on their real assets that
others have had who were in
manufacturing and commercial
enterprises, and, while they sus-
tanned our life, they did not in the
same degree with some others
share in the benefit Of that life.
Therefore, this bill, along with
the very liberal provisions of the
Federal reserve act, puts them ON
an equality with all others who
have genuine assets, and makes
the great credit of the country
available to them.
One can not but feel that this
is delayed justice to them, and
can not but feel that it is a very
gratifying thing to play any part
in doing this act of justice. | look
forward to the benefits of this
bill not with extravagant expec-
tations, but with confident expo
tation that it will be Of very de
reaching benefit and, Incidental
", it will be Of benefit to the in
Testing community, for I can i'm
iglne no more satisfactory and
solid investments than this sys-
TEN will afford those who have
money to use

ED BY STROKE

Macon, Ga, July Camp
Harris had its fatality yesterday
afternoon, shortly past 2 o'clock,
when Private Andrew Key, a SEN
try of Company D, First infantry,
was struck and instantly killed by
lightning. Private T. F. -Schau-
fele, clerk of the machine gun
company of the Second infantry,
was stunned by the same bolt,
which descended while the two
sentinels were talking in front of
the Salvation Army tent. Schau-
fele quickly recovered, but more
than an hours energetic work
failed to save the life of key.
The tragedy cast a gloom over
the camp and its suddenness was
the theme of conversation among
the soldiers during the afternoon
and evening. The flash of light
ming came from a storm cloud

and vicinity since noon. 1t was
preceded and followed by a de
huge of rain. While the results
were more disastrous in the tax
ing Of a human life, the storm it
self was not as severe as one or
two others that have swept the
camp.
Privates Key and Schaufele had
been on duty about an hour when
the fatality occurred. The latter.
who comes from Dublin and is a
son of Mrs. w. T. Schaufele, OF
that place, was pafrolling a post
on the Seconds regimental street
just across from and below the
commissary tent, His duty was
to warn all pedestrians away from
the isolation camp of Company
H, where Private George Ford is
suffering from measles.

On ag'in,
Off ag'in,
Finneganl
The above "rhymelet" seems to
adequately express the state Of
affairs at Camp Harris in regard
to the Georgia boys leaving for
the Mexican border. Nobody
appears to know anything definite
about when the boys will entrain
for the boundary line, The Sec
ond regiment will be the first to
leave, and as the Fitzgerald boys
belong to the First regiment, it
may be some time yet before our
boys" will leave for the front
All troops at the mobilization
camp will be well equipped before
they leave, as they would have to
undergo SO many unnecessary
discomiorts if they were sent to
the border with the present in
adequate equipment
As Del Rio is thought to be the
destination of the Fitzgerald com
pany, along with other Georgia
troops, few facts concerning
that town would be of interest
to local people we believe.
Del Rio, on the Rio Grande, is
a comparatively small town, To-
Gated some fifty miles northeast
OF Eagle Pass, and its population
is composed OF about two-thirds
Mexicans and one-third Ameri-
cans. A short distance north
west Of Del Rio is an old military
reservation, and it is believed this
will be the headquarters OF Brig.
Gen. Walter A. Harris and his
staff of the Georgia brigade. II
this be the case, the headquarters
will be amply accommodated and
will be spared much Of the trouble
incident to locating in the field
Eagle Pass, where the troops
from Maryland are stationed, is
some forty or fifty miles north
least Of Del Rio. and it is probable
that the Georgia and Maryland
troops will JON at some midway
point, the soldiers from another
state being on the right OF the
boys
Az Spoford. just south Of Fort
Clark, the railroad running from
San Antonio to Del Rio branches

FINDS ARMY Of
$4,000 MEN
IN MEXICO
OREGON A VERY FAMOUS
MAN IN THE EYES OF
THIS WRITER

Havana, July 17.-Mexico has
an army of $4,000 infantry and
1000 cavalry, all trained men.
This army has sufficient ammuni-
ton. The government has SIS
100000 in its treasury. It's leaders
can view with equaniinity any
foreign intervention.
These statements are made by
an English war correspondent
who went to Mexico City when
hostilities between Mexico and
the United States appeared to be
only a matter of a few hours.
He has investigated the Mexican
situation, has interviewed the
Minister Of War, Oregon, bank
ers and business men, In a dis
patch transmitted by this cores
pondent today he reveals that the
Mexican army has now an avia-
ton corps commanded by Colonel
Salinas, and that the Mexican ar
my is improving daily.
He quotes General Obregon as
follows on the recent crisis with
the United States:
Il received orders from the
first chief (Carranza) to make
preparations for the protection OF
the border from proving bandits.
| have taken such necessary steps
as far as possible, and will con
tintSe to do so. His order still
islands. If the United States does
the same the end Of all differences
is ii sight.
We are adequately armed and
provisioned to compel obedience
in a short time from the bandits
and evil wishers of the. Govern
ment who are causing the internal
trouble and desire intervention.
They are enemies of Mexico.
. 1t is untrue that during the
crisis we invited Villa, Zapata
and other bandits to join us
against the common enemy. An
edict was issued to all Mexicans
to flock to the standard, but that
excluded those who placed them
selves outside the pale of the law
Il have no doubt we can control
the internal trouble and guaran-
tee the safety Of foreigners in out
lying places. Mines and other in
dustries can proceed under our
supervision Foreign capital is in
any case insured.
"We have men and money. II
the present standing army is in
sufficient we will increase it tc
such an extent that it will be i'm
possible for brigandage to be
profitable"
Commenting on the interview
the correspondent says:
"Obregon impressed me. He
talked like Kitchener after we
took Pretoria. He talked like
Kitchener when he only ruled
Africa. Oregon is the strong
titan of Mexico"

DANIELS, DELAY.

rosEPHUs DANIELS announced that If the pro-
j posed increase TO the navy received the approval
OF Congress he would be ready TO ask for bids for
the construction Of ships within week after the
bill had been signed by the President
We are pleased to note this sudden burst of ac-
tivitv on Josephus' part And in this connection we
are prompted TO inquire why he has not displayed
like ceerity in connection with the two battleshps
which we're authorized nearly eighteen months ago.
by tho Congress which passed out on the fourth
Of March 1915 Not stroke OF work has been done
on those ships-and nothing, even has been done to
prepare for building them in the government navy
wards which Daniels has chosen for the work
If Daniels had been ready within week after
March T. 1915 to ask for bids for those ships he would
have found private shpyards of the country in
condition 10 undertake the contracts and the ships
themselves would be nowOwel along in construction.
Why did he delly2 Was It because he shared the
Presidents then opinion that the question of the ma
tiona defence merely academic" that only few
nervous souls" were occupied with the problem, that
the matter was mot new" and that it was best TO
turn away" from it--as the President did?
And why may we ask further is he in such press
ing haste now? Is II because he knows that the
shipyards are crowded with work that they cannot
take the contracts which he will dangle before their
eyes and that he can go TO the country with great
though empty. show of zeal in behalf of the navy?

Hughes, APPOINTMENTS.

mar HUGHES made it clear in his speech at Chi
IVA cago that. when he is President he will name
none but competent to be heads of departments
and TO h other positions.
This that the next Cabinet will contain no
Bryans. no Josephus Danielses no Redhelds, no Nc
Adoos
This that the diplomatic corps Of the coun-
try for the next eight years will lack the adorning
presenc. Of the vopcbas the suvans the Williamses
and the DeSaulles who have graced its rolls since
1918
This that horse doctor will be put at the
head OF a great scientific bureau at Washington and
that the next census will be taken by man whose
sole experience in statistics gained as country
insurance agent in an obscure Southern village where
his largest exploit in figures to look in the table
which an actuary had prepared in order TO deter
mine the premium TO be paid upon the infrequent
policies which his Office issued.
This means that election Mayor OF compara-
lively small city will not be deemed sufficient evil
dence OF capacity 10 manage a huge executive de-
partment with annual expenditures running up into
the hundreds OF millions and with widespread func-
tions which involve the defence of the national in
terest far-hung frontiers.
This means-but why prolong the recital OF the
numberless instances where the present administra-
tion rendered TO the deserving Democrats at public
expense far beyond their merits and only too often at
cost to the efficiency and dignity Of the government
which is incalculable?
This means that the next administration will be
made up Of men who will know how and who Will
seek to make America first and America efficient
