SPAULDING.

Just where Company l and the First
Vermont regiment is this afternoon
appears problematical from the infor-
nation at hand. In any event they
are now on the last lap of their long
race to the border, and ii the state
ment of the New York Herald that the
regiment was last night near Parsons.
kans., at midnight is correct they
have gone some since being in
Chicago at 7.30 clock last evening.
little study of the map of that sec
tion makes this clear. Tt is probable
that the regiment was due to be near
there, but met with delays as it must
have done between Binghamton, N ~,
and Chicago
The Reformer received early this
morning the following telegram from
Lieut.. Walter R. Spaulding command
ing Company I, dated ut Chicago last
night at s.4s o'clock
. Arrived in Chicago At 80 with
every man in the company in good
health. We arc all doing fine in spite

Communications Of this kind keep

touch With the boys, and as the strain
/ Of the first few days wears off and the
/ boys become shaken down to their new
l.duties more frequent communications
may be expected from them.
The Reformer extends to all reeipi
ients Of letters or news of any kind
from the company members an invita-
tion and request that such portions o1

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, June 30
While thousands of national guardsmen
were moving toward border stations ex-
traordrnary precautions were being takerr
today to prevent the exact routing and
schedules of the numerous special trains
from becoming known.
General Funston was instructed to exer-
else the utmost precaution in concealing
details and general managers of all rail
roads carrying troops were requested not
to make public the movements of trains
1t was explained at General Funston $
headquarters that the unusual measures
were not taken to prevent the news of
Just where the American troops would be
stationed when reaching the border, but to
render more difficult any attempt that
might be made to wreck one of the trains.
Information obtained by intelligence off
GERS indicated that such an attempt might
be made
Train wrecking either by removal of
rails or by use of dynamite is so common
to warfare in Mexico that the general
staff at Washington and military authori-
ties here regard as almost essential such
secrecy of movements

1t was "a hours ago except that more ma
tional guardsmen were hurrying to the bor-
der and the time allowed Carranza to de
clare his intentions toward the American
troops in Mexico was growing shorter
With the troopers captured at Carrizal
back on American soil apparently there
was no intention on the part Of the Wash
ington government to force an immediate
issue on it's demand for assurances that
there will be no repetition of the attack
on General Pershing's forces No word
of when Carranzas $ note would be de
spatched had reached Washington early
today. There were unofficial intinations
that the communication would reaairm the
Mexican governments intention to attack
American troops in Mexico moving in any
direction other than toward the border.

Costs Woman $32 to
 Collect Bill of $5

The high cost of going to law was disclosed yesterday before Justice W. w. Bent, when the case of Camilla Lavenio vs Tom Calagioni for an ulA- paid balance on a board bill amount ing to $5.25 was decided in favor of the plaintiff. It cost $32. 2.48 to win.
 Students of sociology profess, how ever, to see great Improvements over former methods where opposing par ties disputing over paltry sums met in personal encounter to settle their financial difficulties.
 The case came into court because Mrs. Lavenio desired to collect from Calagioni $525 claimed to be owed her as balance on a board and lodging account. In detailed statement of the debt it was alleged two weeks balance for board at $10 per month was due and six weeks sleeping privilege" at & per month, thereby es- taiblishing a new low rate for the com- modities so highly sought, in Bridge port.
 At the hearing yesterday there were eight witnesses, two lawyers, one jus- ticc of the peace, a sheriff and two interpreters, the total expenses sOf whom amounted to $32.40.
 During the argument before the jus- tice, witnesses nearly came to blows end for a time it looked as though the I'olice would have to be summoned to preserve order in the court.

w. T. HINCKS SAYS
 CITY EMPLOYES HAVE .,l BEEN GIVEN ORDERS

William T. 'Hincks. advocate of Commission Form of Government, speaking before the Connecticut Chauffeurs' Protective Association last night declared that although Mayor Wilson had declared himself in favor of the new charter form nevertheless orders had gone out from administra- ton heads to the effect that no city employees should vote at the coming election.
 Though MT. Hincks did not give specific details relating to the orders he declares have been passed down should a check at the election polls show his statement to be correct those who gave them could be held strictly responsible under the election laws.
 Ex-Judge Carl Foster who apnear- ed on the same platform with MT. Hincks, declared that under the pres. ent system of government responsibiI- fty for acts of the officials cannot be placed but that in other cities he has known improvements to be rapid and the government smooth-running.

interview the communique was a long one, being the first news of the French offensive in Picardy, which had just begun. A. messenger took the glad tidings to his brothers in the trenches. Then the electrician ad- Justed his instrument so that it in- tercepted messages sent out by some German portable field wireless ap- paratus. The German spark is pitch ed very high and musical, while the French is dull and staccato. A mess age sent out by an aeroplane was in- tercepted also by the crude but prac- tical receiving instrument.
 "For military purposes the wire less is not as much used by the French as by the Germans. The French, wherever possible, use the telephone instead, and along some parts of the front they have estab- lished underground lines impregnable to shell fire. The French have closed automobiles equipped with complete telephone switchboards. SC that temporary exchanges may be es- tablisiled at short notice wherever they may be needed"
