First Infantry Reaches Texas.

San Antonio-The First Wisconsin
infantry arrived here in three sections
of a battalion each. The machine gun
company accompanied the second bat
talon, and the supply company, field
hospital and brigade staff arrived with
the first battalion.
Officers of Troop A and Battery H
met the infantry at the train. Troop
ers and artillery men waited in the
field and cheered as the doughboys
marched by. The men made fine i'm
preston, as all are fully equipped.
They make many other national
guard companies look shabby.
Five army trucks carried the equip
ment. Tents were pitched in two
hours. officers reported all men well.
Officers of the regular army are gen.
erous with their compliments for the
Badger guardsmen of the First regi-
ment, whom they hold to be the best
looking troops they have seen thus far.
The Badgers carry their heads high
and their step is firm and enthusiastic,
despite the four-day ride in hot and
cramped quarters.
Long Stay Is Predicted.
The fact that Wisconsin and other
troops are being put into first class
condition, capable of coping with real
hardships of war, is taken to indi-
cate a long stay in the south by those
encamped here.
Army officers believe both sides are
sparring 70 rhine and predict the Bad
gers will see service before the year
is over. Army sanitary officers make
regular visits to the camp every day
and are enforcing strict sanitary rules.
Members of Troop A are having a
busy time breaking horses. The ami
mails have broncho blood and many
men were tossed into the mud. None
Of the men were badly hurt, although
the task proved dangerous on several
occasions.

Order Affects 1000 Married Men.
About 1000 Wisconsin militiamen
will be affected by the order of Sec
rotary of War Newton D. Baker per-
hitting the discharge of married men
from the national guard. All of the
305 men rejected from the First in
fantry as unfit for service may be re
instated by their captains, according
to dispatch from Washington. This
will be allowed because it has been de-
cided that the national guard will be
needed only for patrol duty on the
border.
Practically all of the 1919 officers of
the Badger brigade are married.
There are from ten to twenty-five
married men in each company. The
order relieved many heads of families,
for their wives and children were al
ready feeling the effects of the abb
sence of husbands and fathers. Scores
of men asked and obtained leaves of
absence to go home to make loans to
tide the family over for some weeks.
Many suffered in silence, not having
the courage to refuse to muster into
the United States service when they
alone would have stood out in COM
panies of 100 to $50 men.

OBJECT LESSON
IN BINDER TW|NE
VENTS SPECTATORS FROM
GETTING ENTIRE SUPPLY.

ATLANTA, June 2.-Persons who
cannot see how the government can
possibly help the people in matters of
price regulation of food products can
learn a little lesson from the recent
history of sisal hemp, according to
Atlanta manufacturers. This is the
material from which binder Irvine is
made; it is a product of Mexico and
Central America, its price directly af-
fects the cost of wheat, and so it
concerns everyone.
Recently a harvester company ac-
cused the marketing organization of
Mexican planters, called the Com
lsion Reguladore," of withdrawing sis
al hemp from the market in order to
force higher prices. Representatives
of the "comision" in turn charged that
the harvester company sought to cor
ner sisal hemp and to create shortage
and discredit the planters organiza-
ton, and the directors asked that
the disposal of the present available
supply of sisal be handed over the
Federal Trade commission at Washing
ton, of which Hon. w. J. Harris, of
Georgia, is a member A resolution
to this effect passed the senate with
out debate.
Under the agreement the sisal must
be sold at present prices, plus an
increase in ocean freight rates. Within
30 days any manufacturer desiring
to buy must file an affidavit that he
needs the fiber for domestic consump-
ton during the season Of 1916 and all
manufacturers must be given equal
opportunity to buy for manufacturing
purposes, but not for speculation. The
l25,OOO bales, said to be on hand,
will insure sufficient supply of bind
er Irvine for this years harvest.
The distribution of sisal by the Fed
eral Trade commission shows clearly
how many another commodity might
be kept from the hands of specuIa-
tors. 1t is a good lesson in the pow
er of the commission to be of service
to the people The cmmission CON
sists of five men, including the Geor-
gia man, appointed by the president.
1t was approved two years ago. It's
activities are not yet understood by
the general public.
