Soldiers Have a Holiday.

In accordance with the regular army
day yesterday afternoon and last night,
and except for a few men left in charge
of quarters the camp was emptied of
it's soldiery. Many of the officers also
were out of camp, a great many of
them having gone to attend the relief
lawn party in the city Maj Joseph F.
Hodgson, commanding the 1st Bat
TALON, Sd Infantry, was the senior Of
fcer present last night, and was in
command of the camp.
There is nothing on the program for
today except liberty for most of the
men. OF course, those who will remain
in camp will prepare for a number of
visitors. From reveille until taps
the men will be allowed to go and
after that hour viii they be challenged
by the sentries.
Although tomorrow is a legal holiday
and it is the custom to release troops
on that day, the District troops at
Camp Ordway viii be required to put
in half days drill as usual There
will be no holiday for them in the
morning, but in the afternoon they will
be released for pleasure Many of
them are planning to go with their
friends and relatives to nearby resorts
and help them celebrate.
The three battalions of infantry will
arrange their own drills for tomorrow.

Battery A Needs Men.

Although cnliStments are few and
far between now, the recruiting office
at camp being one of the most lonesome
of the offices, the organizations will be
ready at any time that orders are re-
ceived to move. Only one organization
at camp really needs men and that is
Battery A, Field Artillery The officers
are confident that they will be obtain
ed as soon as positive orders to entrain
are received.
The troops themselves have never
been in better shape. They are we'll
drilled, well trained. hardened to field
service and up to the mark in service
firing. They have been through all of
the details of field firing, except of
course, being actually under the guns
of the enemy. They have fired at tar
gets and have worked out field prob
lens in a way that brought praise from
those who observed the operations.
All these facts, taken in connection
with assurances received from the War
department that the District troops would
actually see service on the border before
they were returned to their home sta
tons to be mustered out, it is cited by
high ranking officers, point to an early
movement of the District troops at Camp
Ordway to the Mexican border
Should the predictions of the officers
prove well founded and orders are re-
ceived for the movement, it would take
several days to arrange the transporta-
ton and prepare to entran 1t will be
big job to break this permanent camp
and load all of the equipment on the cars,
especially in view of the fact that the
organizations have not received their
quota of animals for use in transporta-
ton.
Optimism has made great advances over
the pessimism of the past few weeks
among both officers and men, Although
there seems to be little direct informa-
ton available as to a transfer observers
can readily see a change among the men,
and some of the enthusiasm of the early
days in the camp soon after the mobiliza-
ton is beginning again to be manifested.

GENERAL RAILWAY
INQUIRY PLANNED
Roads to Propose to Congress
That Work of Commerce
Commission Be Divided
BY Zones.

Washington. D. c., July 1.-THE most
important railroad and transportation
Investigation this country has ever
,een will be soon started. Senator Cum
Minis has beet settled on for one of the
Investigators. The investigation as pro-
posed provides for an inquiry into
transportation problems by joint COM
pittee of congress.
President Wilson urged 1t last De-
:ember. The Senate has passed the
resolution and the House will soon. The
railroads are watching the situation
Sosely and are prepared to come for
ward with a definite plan.
This plan involves compulsory federal
moor poration and enlargement Of the
Interstate Commerce commission with
an arrangement for dividing the coun-
try into zones and putting three COM
missioner in charge Of each zone. In
important cases appeals would be taken
20 the full commission setting at Wash
:ngton.
In other words, the work OF the COM
mission which has grown too big for a
single body. would be disposed of some
thing like the handling of litigation by
the circuit court Of appeals and the
supreme court.
Government ownership, government
control of capitalization, government
control Of all railways, state and inter-
state, and many phases of the great
question Of transportation will be
studied

WON'T FIGHT TO
HELP EXPLORERS
President Says Mexico Can Be
Helped More In Peaceful
Ways Than BY Fight
ing Her.

Detroit, Mich, July 11.-President
Wilson aroused great enthusiasm at
the World Salesmanship congress to-
day by urging that business men carry
Justice and fair dealing into the ports
Of the world, especially those of Mexi-
co, and thereby establish confidence in
American principles. His efforts, he
declared, would be to serve all Ameri-
ca by serving Mexico herself for her
best interests without using force, and
not to serve "the few gentlemen who
wish to exploit Mexican possessions"
When the president asked the crowd
present world troubles, It shouted
"Peacel" in one voice, and then he add
Cd that his wish was permanent
peace"
Il hear some men say" he said, that
they want to help Mexico and the way
they propose to help her Is to over
whelm her with force. This Is the
wrong way as we'll as the long way.
After fighting them you would have
p nation full OF justified suspicion.
Thus you would not help them. You
would shut every door against you.
Won't Aid PIunderers.
What makes Mexico suspicious Is
that she thinks we do not want to
serve, but possess, her. And she has
justification for these suspicious in
the way some gentlemen have sought
to exploit her possessions. l will not
serve these gentlemen, but l will serve
all Americans by trying to serve Next
CO herself.
THE way to establish our sovereign
" is to respect hers"
This information, the president said,
was for those gentlemen who would
butt in"
The president declared that the mer.
chant marine, which some are so slow
in giving u.s." would be a great help
to the business interests Of the United
states. In order TO gain foreign bust
ness, however, he added, it will be
necessary for American business men
to adapt their goods to the demands
of other countries and not try to force
their own ideas on other markets.
Salesmanship, he said, would go hand
in hand with craftsmanship after the
close Of the war.
Given Great Reception.
No more patriotic and enthusiastic
reception has greeted the president re-
Gently than he received here. Thou
sands of persons lined the streets
entered the hall, the entire audience
arose and waved American flags.
President Wilson was accompanied
by Mrs. Wilson. AS the party was
driven to the convention hall, can

Henry Ford, the manufacturer, sent
the president a message, expressing
confidence he would keep the United
States out OF war.
After speaking at the salesmanshiI
congress, President Wilson held a pub
lie reception. This afternoon he visited
an automobile factory. He will leave
for Washington at p. m.

may be employed for the unification OF

is to nominate for president some

Foss, of Massachusetts, is a candi-
date for president and by reason OF
his force as a campaigner may get the
nomination. Henry Ford Is the choice
of many, but 1t is not known whether
he would run. His admirers say he
would draw an enormous vote. Victor
Murdoch Is preferred by some for the

QUICK WORK By INFANTRY
IN DASH SOUTH OF SOMME

Paris, July 1.-THE new French
drive south Of the Somme river yester-
day had been prepared by artillery
bombardments for more than two days
and the complicated system OF German
defenses in the loop to the northward
made by the river mad been disorgan-
ICED. The task of artillery preparation
had been carried through rapidly and
the infantry attack probably would
have been made sooner had 1t not been
for the bad weather.
Yesterday morning the rain at last
stopped and the signal for the assault
was given. The French troops began
to move along a two and a half mile
front. The left wing rested on the
bridge over the Somme one mile east
Of Hormont farm, while the right lay
little north of Belloy.
The left wing and the center crossed
the German trenches with q single
bound and progressed rapidly in the
direction of Biaches. This village was
east at once. The Germans defending
it resisted energetically, but finding
themselves in danger of being sur
rounded, retreated up the left bank OF
the river by the Peronne road. At 2
o'clock the village was entirely in the
hands of the French.
Meanwhile the right wing threw tho
Germans into disorder and arrived at
the outskirts OF Barleux, where the
German situation now appears to be
precarious French military opinion
characterizes the capture of Biaches as
brilliant and important operation.
Whether the Germans are still holding
on to the network Of canals or have
retreated to the other bank of thu
Somme, the French position in the pla-
teaus before the Somme and the i'm
portant point of support afforded by
the capture Of Biaches, give them d.
