TY COBB FOR MIR. WILSON.
At White House, Declares Himself
DYed-in-Wool Democrat.

Ty Cobb, the Detroit Tigers star hit
ter, is democrat, will vote for Will
son and believes the President will be
reelected.
Furthermore, the fact that his pic
ture recently was taken, along with
Charles E. Hughes. the republican
candidate, he does not want to be taken
by the public as evidence that he has
any leanings toward the republican
ticket.
All this came out at the White House
today, when Cobb accompanied by
Representative Doremus of Detroit,
paid a short call on the President. the
only visitor the President saw durin g
the morning, to explain that he was a
dyed-in-the-wo democrat and would

Lieut. Joseph Hodge, veterinarian OF

morning to have a look at the horses
and mules possessed by the two outfits.
ue was surprised to find that the Signal
Germs horses, which are listed as ar

today when one of his horses, which
had been lost for four days, was located

Will Rig Up a Kitchen.

Tomorrow morning the battery's guns
will be unloaded from the fat cars on
siding in front OF the camp and will
be parked. The men will then set to
work rigging up temporary frame for
the kitchen. 1t probably will be a
week or more before lumber arrives
with which to build a combination
kitchen and mess hall such as have
teen erected by the Signal Corps and
Field Hospital companies. A PICKET
line will have to be set up in readiness
for the battery's allotment of horses
for it's officers and guns and mules for
its escort wagons. The battery brought
only four horses from Washington and
they are draft animals.
This afternoon the men of the battery
were hard at work removing the stains
of their five days of travel. They were
pretty well begrimed with SCOT when
they arrived here. and most Of the men
had several days growth of beard on
their faces. Private Vincent barber

light is several dollars richer as the
result.
Hat Cords Attract Attention.
About so per cent of the company
was granted passes after retreat, and
they spent the evening in the plaza.
where a band concert was held this
evening, and in sightseeing at Bisbee.
The men attracted attention with their
bright red hat cords. Prior to their
arrival the only hat cords to be seen
here were the light blue Of the infan
try, the maroon and white Of the field
hospital men and the orange and white
of the members of the signal corps
company Another thing that attracted
attention was the fact that all the
members Of the battery wore leather
leggins. Canvas leggins are worn
exclusively by the infantrymen sta
toned here and by practically all the
field hospital and signal corps men, only
a small per cent Of them having leather
leggins.

trict will be beautiful engraved sill
