May Call Extra Session.

Governor Ferris admitted that he
was requested to give consideration to
a plan to assemble the legislature In
special session for the purpose Of pass
Ing a law providing state pay for
members of the Michigan National
Guard.
While the governor would not state
definitely his plans regarding spe-
cial session, he did say that he con-
sidered 1t the best policy to walt a
few days and see whether the Mexi-
can situation assumed more favor
able outlook.
Should special session Of the leg-N
islature be called under the terms of
the plan proposed, the governor will
ask the passage Of bill providing for
the payment Of SIS per month by the
state to each soldier In the Michigan
Guard. This, with the federal pay Of
$15 per month, would give the private
soldier $50 per month.
During the last session of the ltgis-
lature some of the members Of the
house killed a bill to reimburse rdm-
Der of Spanish war veterans for los
pital expenses which the Michigan sol
diers were compelled to pay from their
personal funds. and in the event he
deems special session necessary, the
governor will first determine the senti-
ment Of the individual members of the
house and senate.

unIta ORDERED Il Camp.

Units Ordered - Camp.
Adjutant General Bersey also listed
In his new order the departments of
the state militia which had been or
dered to the mobilization camp. These
were as follows:
First Brigade Of infantry,
Troops A and b OF thes First cav
airy.
Batteries A and B of the First field
artillery.
Company A, signal corps.
Company A, engineers.
Ambulance companies No. and
No. 2,
Field hospital No. !.
Headquarters band.
Mounted orderly section.
Machine gun company.
Supply company.
Total strength of enlisted Infantry
men will be 1885 in each regiment.
Horse Situation Clarified.
The horse situation was partly clari-
fed when word came from Washlng>
ton that horses can be obtained In
this state, provided they are inspected
by government officers before being
sent to the point of mobilization. This
action on the part OF the war depart
ment is plainly one Of expediency
and economy. They will refuse to
settle for the transportation Of any
horse to Grayling that has not been
first passed ON by their men.
In many localities the officers Of
the Guard, acting under instructions
of months ago. were spotting horses
for the service.
oId-Timers Offer Selves.
Offers Of all kinds from all. sorts
of people have continued to pour In at
headquarters. Men who served In the
Spanish war are particularly anxious
to break into the Guard. Governor
Ferris, too. has been besieged with
kilograms from doctors, veterinarians
and former officers, wanting appoint
ments. To all such inquiries the same
answer is given: 1--WE have nothing
to do with the appointing. IL is all
up to the war department."
Colonel Bersey took occasion to deny
some reports which We're current in
certain parts Of the state and which
had been published in newspapers to
the effect that men who did not sign
the new enlistment papers did not
have to go.
Releases Hard to Get.
"This," the colonel said, 'is absolute
ly incorrect. No matter whether their
enlistment paper is an old or a new
one, they are bound to go.
ut makes no difference whether
they are members of the National
Guard or the organized militia, the
two classes which the new law Gre
ates. They have to obey the sum-
mons Of the president" said Colonel
Bersey. 1.-THE only difference is that
as members Of the organized militia,
which they are unless they sign the
new papers, they lose lot Of privi-
leges In the way Of pay, pensions,
etc., which they will get II they be-
come National Guardsmen and sign
the new papers,"
Among the members Of the Ann Ar
Dor company are number of aliens
who applied for their first citizenship
papers In order to be allowed to en-
list In the Guard. Ten aliens made
application for their citizenship pa
pers for this purpose within two days.
1t is said. They included former clti-
zens Of Greece. Italy, Germany and
Great Britain.
