SAD FAREWELLS
AT MT. GRETNA
Many Good-by Makes Your
Eyes Misty in Spite of
Yourself
[From a STAFF Correspondent

Camp Brumbaugh, Mt. Gretna, Pa.
June 2S.-The hardest thing about
this camp is to see people say good-by.
you get accustomed to it about rail-
roaC stations at home, but when some
mother, wife, sweetheart or sister says
farewell to a soldier in a company
street the mans comrades do not
stand around and smile. They turn
away and so do you and often with a
ushtening of the throat of which you
oiG not ashamed. There are many
ldrewells at the stations at this camp
llat make your eyes misty in spite
OF all that you can do and you wonder
at the bravery of the women folks and
anmlre the straight backed man in
Khaki who walks hurriedly away with
strained face.
There is such grim determination
apout this camp that the human side
appeals. In the last few days people
have travelled 200 miles to say good
by again to the young men whom they
claspeC less tha ma week ago and no
matter how old in the service may be
the officers they do not attempt to
conceal the feeling they have. The
oltlcers or one noted regiment witness
ed a wedding yesterday with tears in
their eyes and said afterwards that
they could not help it.
The imminent departure OF the
troops brought q tremendous rush of
Eail and kilograms to the camp and
the mail distribution in the Phila-
dclphia troops was the biggest since
coming to camp and in return there
were bales of postcards sent out The
length of the time spent here has been
boom to the men for it has enabled
them to get settled down before start
ing off on a long, long trip to tho
border and to make the sundering Of
home ties less acute. Some things to
add to comfort have come to camp
and made the transition to the
minimum of Equipment which Uncle
Sam requires of his soldiers moro
bearable. Its rather hard to turn from
sleeping in a good bed to a blanket
on ground and like as not a rock
or two to remind one of tough camp
ing sites to come. So a few little
things have been accumulated by each
soldier and the garrison rations given
some variety.
One of the things which has struck
the men is the thoroughness of the
plan to take care of the men. They
are told they are to be kept well and
! that everything has been thought out.
There is grumbing, of course, about
some things but the sense of being
| looked after is going to do the men
gooo. Just as the discipline will also
be. beneficial, if rather rigorous.

McCaleb Issues Order
on Feeding of Troops

Superintendent William B. McCaleb
Of the Philadelphia division of the
Pennsylvania railroad, to-day issued
the following instructions for feeding
soldiers, or arrangements to have spe-
cial packages placed on troop trains:
In connection with special trains
carrying troops. passing through Har-
risburg to the Mexican border, the
operating officials of the Pennsylvania
railroad announce that owing to the
length of these trains and the opera-
ton of the regular train service, it is
impracticable to run them through
the passenger station. II is, therefore,
necessary to run troop trains on the
freight tracks adjacent to the station,
but inaccessible to the public, on ac-
count of constantly passing freight
trains on otehr tracks and the danger
Orders have been issued to give access
to troop trains only to duly authorized
committees appointed for the purpose

road Chapters of the Women's Pre-

San Antonio, June 2S.-Blistered
feet and sunburned noses will be
prevalent among the National
Guardsmen within two days after
they reach the border. The guards
men probably will be started with
a march of FIVE miles, carrying full
kit and the regulation amount of
ammunition. The distance will be
increased as the men improve in

concerning the movement to border
stations of the National Guard.
Army officers anticipate no Difficult
ty in the transportation of the thou
sands of men until they reach con-
verging lines. AS they near the bor-

will become greater and railway Off

tional board.
AID CENTRAL SOUTHERN col
The purpose of to-day's organization
in brief is to obtain correct data as to
possible production in emergency all
the 50,000-odd articles which might
be needed by the country in time of
war.
The district committees will collect
this data and report it to the State
committee and the latter body in turn
will turn it over to the national board,
of which Thomas A. Edison, the noted
inventor. is the chairman.
Send Out Inventory Blanks
No formal organization of the COM
mittee was completed to-day, owing to
the absence of one or two of the mem
bers, but Commissioner Jackson and
Mr.. Kaltwasser together arranged to
issue to the various industrial estab-
lishments in the district the inventory
blanks which have been supplied by
the national board for the purpose
These blanks will be sent to the heads
of each plant. In each town of any
consequence one or more engineers
will be appointed to assist the district
committee by keeping an eye on the
plants in this communities, assisting
the managements to make out their
reports and in other ways helping to
prepare the great mass of important
information for Uncle Sam.
Commissioner Jackson summed up
the purposes and possibilities of the
committees work when he said to-day:
"The members of the committee
represent the five great engineering
branches embodying practically all the
technical brains of the industrial
world. The great problems of NOV
ing, feeding and equipping an army
naturally would devolve upon the men
of these professions, and the organ
ization of these representative engi-
neers is the necessary step toward pre-
paredness."

Shortage in Ranks

Shortage in Ranks
The delay in the departure of the
First Brigade is said to be partly due
to a shortage of 200 privates in the
Third Regiment. Unless these men
are recruited in Philadelphia and ar
rive here by this afternoon, the honor
of leading the Pennsylvania troops to
the border may be lost to Brigadier-
General William G. Prices command,
1t was reported.
Major-General Clement said to-day
that the War Department regulations
would not permit any brigade to take
the field unless all it's commands were
recruited to war strength. II don't
know what the First Brigade is doing
about the shortage" he said, but If
1t is in no condition to move, the Sec
ond Brigade will receive orders and
will entrain."
The Second Brigade is composed of
Pittsburgh troops.

Of fifteen sergeants, motored 10 Har-
ljShurg late last night whore they
caught an express. train to Philadel-
phia.
The three regiments have about
completed the packing of their stores
about the transport trains. and the
Second Infantry is ready to entrain
or a half hours notice.
r. c. Morse, of the American Rail-
ways Association, and S. c. Long. gem
eral manager of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, who are here to direct the train
movements of the troops, say the rail-
roads are not responsible in sending
off the troops.
Miles of passenger coaches and
| Pullmans. the latter for officers, have
been parked here and at Harrisburg.
Engines have steam up and await
only the switch of a semaphore signal
for them to put to Colebrook for the
regiments.
Cavalry May Go to Vera Cruz
The First Cavalry regiment, COM
manded by Colonel John P. Wood, of
Philadelphia, and including the First
and Second city troops. and Troops
and G, of that city, according to re-
ports reaching the cavalry camp at
Colebrook may go from here to Phila-
delphia, where they will board a
transport for the South. The cavalry
men believe they may be landed at
Vera Cruz, in the event of hostilities.
So much candy and foodstuffs in
packages of nondescript size have been
expressed and mailed to the Philadel-
phia cavalrymen that the troops
| commanders have placed a ban on
the shipments.
Staff officers were detailed this
morning by Major General Clement to
expedite the mastering of the regi-
ments of the First Brigade and the
auxiliary troops. Present indications
are that the first organizations to
move out will be the engineers and
signalmen.
Five surgeons arrived to-day to re-
place those of the National Guard who
were rejected and as soon as they
pass the examinations will be put to
work on inspection of recruits.
Protests Seating Plans

day that three men were to be as
signed to two seats in each passenger

Many Recruits Arrive

The greatest attention is being
given to the vaccination against small
pox which prevails in many places on
the border and not a man will be
moved from here until treatment has
been given.
Hundreds of recruits arrived during
to-day, one squad containing $50 men,
from Pittsburgh Most of the recruit
ing parties are now in. The result of
medical examination has been severe
in some of the Philadelphia regiments,
as high as nine per cent. being re-
ported in command
The delay in starting is being utilized
by hard drilling by the company COM
manders and for hours to-day the men
were given instructions. This work
will go on until the orders come to
entrain.
