.MAY Use RADIO SITE
AS A VOLUNTEER CAMP
Furnishings and Conveniences at Guard
Headquarters Installed Carefully.
Indicating Further Use.

That Camp Radio will be used as a
volunteer mobilization camp after the
District National Guard leaves for the
border is the opinion held by officers OF
the camp and indicated by the installa-
ton of necessities at the camp.
1t is pointed out that Camp Radio. being
next to Fort Myer, is an ideal place for
large mobilization camp, and that it has
the advantage of being large and con-
veniently located.
The fact that the water pipes of the
camp are four-inch mains and that they
are being placed two feet under ground
instead of just below the surface, seems
to indicate that the camp site is of a
permanent nature.
The latest development substantiating
this theory Is the screening of the kitch-
ems Of the whole camp in a substantial
manner. The material has arrived, in
Guiding screen doors.
The bath houses being erected are SUBJ
stantial, and are made to last. The ad-
ministration tents are also being fioored
and substantially pitched.

MUD and TEARS
MINGLE At CAMP
It's All One Big Farewell
Event Over at
Radio.

Several thousand washinEtonians
journeyed to the tented city at Radio
yesterday, for what may be the final
meeting OF brothers. fathers and sweet
hearts before the District National Guard
is called to the border
As soon as the rain. which threatened
to mar the first oficial visitors day"
since camp was pitched showed siSns Of
subsiding. a steady stream of civilians
began pouring in. fearful mothers
anxiously inquired where their boys
could be found. Stylishly dressed girls
were seen parading the length of the
camp with their soldier sweethearts.
Many little children had a hard time
distinguishing their fathers from the
hundreds of uniformed men.
The sights were ones to be remembered.
Parents were patting their sons on the
back while near them could be seen
others who hardly spoke for fear of re-
vealing their emotions
The early morning rains which con-
verted many OF the camp streets into
rivulcts made walking no easy task and
many a pair of dainty white pumps lost
their whiteness One was lucky IL the
soilinG could be confined to the ,s,oes.
One young lady was seen with her foot,
shoe and all. in a pail OF water while a
soldier did his best to remove the mud.
Later in the afternoon, well-beaten paths
were established. AS darkness gathered
over the camp each city-bound car was
crowded with returning visitors. AS
the soldiers helped their guests aboard,
the impressive farewells touched even the
hearts of the seasoned veterans. The
camp was open until 1o:15 o'clock last
night and many remained long after
dark.

help OF LAUNDRIES
ASKED FOR MILITIA
Local Establishments Can Do Bit by
Washing Clothes of Cuardsmen.
Garments Need Cleaning.
will you do your bit ?"

Will you do your bit?"
To this slogan Mrs. Glendie B Young.
vice president of the Woman's Relief As
sociation, D. c. n. G.. points when she
makes an appeal for Washington laun-
dries to do their share to assist the city's
soldiers.
Since the boys have been in camp at
Radio they have been compelled to do
their own laundering. and consequently
the whitest of linen has been a scarcity,
although some few may have had a small
amount of previous experience in wash
day exercises"
But the persistent rain has ruined even
the chance for a fellow to wash his own
clothes. and the late innoculation with
typhoid serum has not only made the
Guardsmen feel badly. but It has made
the use of clean garments a necessity.
Those laundries that will take advan-
tage of the chance to do their share in
the preparatory work are requested to
communicate with Mrs. William E. Har-
vey, the president of the Relief Associa-
ton, or with Mrs. Young.
Mrs. Young says local laundries could
take care OF the militiamen's clothing,
free OF charge. at small expense to the
laundries.

Notes fCampRadio

Among the callers at Camp Radio yes
terday was Gen. Hugh l. Scott, Chief of
Staff of the army. and party who motor
ed over to inspect the camp and pay
their respects to Gen. William E. Har-
gey.
After the rain yesterday Gen. Harvey
made a personal inspection of the camp.
He said there were plenty OF extra bed
sacks and straw for those who wanted
them.
Capt. Horace Hobbs has just emerged
from an avalanche of work which threat
ened to submerge him Saturday. An ad-
0itional stenographer was added to his
staff, and by working all day Sunday
everything was finished.
The men of Battery B laid a board
walk for the visitors to their company
street. and it saved many a pair of dainty
white shoes from the mud. But 1t was
only a slim six inches wide and there
was constant rivalry for its use.
No automobiles are allowed in camp
and yesterday the road skirting the Ar
lington Cemetery, from the entrance to
the infantry camp to the gates of Fort
Myer, about a quarter of a mile. was
half filled with double line of motors.
Lieut.. Francis c. Martin. Company X,
instructed the officers Of the Third Bat
talon. Third Infantry. in the nomencla-
ture and use of the As calibcr automatic
pistol at school on Saturday.
R. w. Johnson, assistant wire chief in a
telegraph office at Detroit. Mich. has
come all the way to Washington at his
own expense to enlist in the Signal Corps
Company.
1t is probable that about 300 men of the
Guard, employees of the Navy Yard will
be relieved from duty with the District
troops so as to work on the increased
contracts at the Navy Yard No official
action has been taken yet, but it is be-
lieved to be under consideration in official
circles.

WILSON TO CALL
FOR 100000 men
IArmy's Mexican Camptign
Will Require that Number.
Plans Already Made.

The plan of campaign which the United
States army will pursue in case of war
with Mexico is understood to call for
go 900 volunteers. in addition to the regu-
lar army and State troops 1t was said
last night that the President will issue
the call for volunteers within short
time after the outbreak of hostilities.
The campaign will then be carried on
in two distinct phases. First will come
the establishment of an effective defen-
sive to protect the border. Then will
come what army officers describe as the
, cleaning up"
The dominating idea Of the army's
plan" said one ranking officer, will be
the domination of Mexico at a minimum
price in American lives" The prepara-
tions the army has made to carry on the
war will make the cost many millions
more than If premature efforts to smash
through were followed. but the cost is to
be given second consideration compared
to the saving of lives. The first months
of the war are likely to be more a battle
against disease. tropical heat and insects
than against Mexican troops. Precau-
tiOns will be taken to protect Gen. Per-
shing's troops already in Mexico and to
protect his lines OF communication.
To Overrun North Mexico.
The protection of the border will imply
the speedy overrunning of portions of the
northern provinces of Mexico and the firm
establishment of American forces or
Mexican soil contiguous to the boundary
With this accomplished and Gen. Perch
| lng's forces safely entrenched, the chiei
consideration will be to prepare for the
general advance by getting the STATE
| troops and volunteers physically fit
! immune from disease and trained ef
| ficiently.
These troops would fare badly II sud
denly plunged into a serious campaign il
/ Mexico, 1t is explained. Several months
proper training will round them out. it ii
! added, and make a world of difference
| The War Department is in possession
| of much valuable information from Grea
! Britain concerning the training of raw
recruits. The War Department believes
| it would take approximately six months
to get a volunteer army in shape.

TROOPS TO make
ROOKIE CANVASS
Militiamen to Go from House
to House with Enlist
ment Pleas.

A houee to house canvass will be made
OF Washington for recruits today.
With more than 400 men needed to bring
the District militia up to its full war
strength and with only a few days left
in which to secure them, Col. Richard D..
Simms, in charge of recruiting. declared
last night that strenuous methods would
have to be employed.
The decision to make a house to house
canvass was born Of the discouraging re-
suits of yesterday. All day only fifteen
men volunteered. Judging by the past
percentage. the officers have no right to
expect more than five of these to be able
to pass the rigid physical examination.
Accordingly. men will today be de-
tailed from the various infantry com
panies to canvass the city. Every in
complete company will detail from
pleas for enlistment to their acquaint-
ances and to any and every other able
bodies man they encounter. The regular
To ocruiting stations will also be kept open
as usual 1t is hoped. by this means, to
be able to reach the maximum In forty
eight hours
Vacancies in the Infantry.
Practically all the vacancies are in
the infantry. For some reason recruits
seem to fight shy of that branch of the
service. The officers think this may be
due to an unwillingness to carry heavy
kit. The men who go out on recruiting
detail tomorrow will be armed with argu-
ments to offset this objection.
In all, 4o1 men are needed to bring the
local forces up TO their ma aximun strength
of 800 There are perhaps half a dozen
vacancies in the Field Artillery, but,
barring the infantry. the other branches
are all full. The First Separate Battalion
OF colorcd infantry reached its maximum.
II was thought, two days ago. number
of the men have been rejected since that
time, however. for physical disability.
and the battalion now has fifty vacancies.
These. 1t is expected, will be filled with
out diffculty.
Owing to a shortage of both officers
and men. who could not be spared from
camp, only two of the recruiting stations
-1225 Pennsylvania avenue and Twelfth
and U streets northwest-were open yes
terday, and these closed at o'clock in
the evening Today the regular sched-
ule of from a. m. to 10 p. m, will be
followed.
