j. S. EMPLOYEES IN GUARD
ARE SHOWING ANXIETY
Questions of Pay and Keeping Open
of Civilian Jobs the
Reasons.

Government employees in the District
National Guard at Camp Ordway are
still anxious as to what Congress is
going to do for them In the way of pay
and keeping open their civilian Jobs
while they are serving the country.
Many of them point out that private
firms pay the men who are serving the
country, while the government does
not even try to set an example by ex-
cusing it's employees willingly and then
paying them. In some instances, ac-
have been allowed money for what an
nual leave was due them. and then
they were told to resign. But some of
the men are standing pat and will not
resign. just to see what will happen.
One soldier. an employe of the Con-
gressional Library, said today:
so far nothing has been done for
the government employees except to
grant US the rema mainder of our annual
leave. OF course, peace advocates
might consider us not only fairly but
well treated.
Here's our side: The majority Of us
enlisted under the old law giving us mill
tary leave for guard service. II both
small ana large business houses through
out the United States are able to carry
guardsmen In active service on their pay
rolls, and do SO because of their sense
of justice as well as from patriotic feel
ings, why does the administration have
to slam the doors of the Treasury build.
ing shut in our faces?
Some Asked to Resign.
There are instances where men have
received letters asking that they resign
at the end of their annual leave What
lis going to be done for us by Congress?
If nothing happens soon feel sure there
will be few re-enlistments among gov
ernment clerks.
'In reply to & letter of inquiry as to
my status in the Library of Congress,
where l was employed when I was called
into the field, being a member OF Troop
A, 1st Cavalry. o. NJ. D. c.. 1 have re-
ceived a letter stating that l may re-
sign at the end Of my annual leave. What
happens in case l do not resign remains
a dark mystery.
There are many government clerks
in this camp and we all feel that we
have lost out on a square deal unless the
press Is willing to instantly plead our case
and stir up public opinion against our
treatment at the hands Of the adminis-
tration."

RIFLE PRACTICE FOR POLICE.
Will Not Be Started Until Next
Month-Delay in Getting Guns.

Rife practice for members OF the met
ropolitan police department probably will
not be started until some time next
month. The Mexican trouble prevented
Maj. Pullman, superintendent Of police.
from obtaining tho rifles from the war
Department. This rife practice, 1t was
stated, is not to be compulsory, although
the revolver practice is.
Although Maj. Pullman believes mill
tary training camp would be good thing
for the local police. such as the ten thou
sand policemen of New York are receiv-
ing, he said I'VE haven't got the where
withal to undertake the plan here In
addition to this lack of funds. he said
the force is not large enough to permit,
especially in summer, the sending OF men
to such a training camp. as absence by
vacation causes a shortage in the force
When the rifle practice is started 1t will
be held on the 50-yard range Of Eastern

WHITE MAN ATTACKED
BY NEGRO GUARDSMEN
Four Illinois Soldiers Shot by Reg
ulars Sent to Arrest Them.
Cause Other Disturbances.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July 25.-Foul
negro soldiers, members of the sth Illi-
nois National Guard. were shot last
come to the rescue of white man the
soldiers were attacking, near the mill
tia camp. None were seriously injured
all the bullets striking in the legs.
The trouble began when Herbert G
Henne, a lawyer of New Braunfels
Tex, went to the militia camp. He
passed a group of the negro soldiers in
the street. An instant afterward one OF
them threw a rock at him. 1t struck
the rear of his car. Henne directed his
driver to stop and he alighted. Turning
men, he was met with invective and he
instantly changed his direction toward
the nearest open door, that of a sa-
loon.
Provost Guard to the Rescue.
AS he ran, Henne claims. he heard one
of the men call out: Come on. he's un-
armed. Let's get him"
Inside the saloon he shouted to the
bartender and his helper, the only other
occupants of the place, for assistance,
ing Henne to face the negroes. by that
time crowding through the doorway.
The little group of his assailants had
been increased by ten or fifteen OF the
same regiment when a detachment of
the provost guard of the 18th Infantry
rushed up the street and poured into
the saloon. Ordering the men to quar-
ters the guard began using their guns
as clubs They forced the negroes out
into the street, where, reinforced until
perhaps the number was twenty-five or
thirty, the negroes turned on the regu-
lars. Again they were told to move on
and failure to obey was followed by
the order to fire.
Affair Will Be Investigated.
Four of the mob went down. all
wounded below the waist line with
guard ammunition-a light charge am
munition. Col. Dennison of the sth
Regiment expressed keen regret that
the incident had occurred, but neither
he nor any of his officers cared to dis
cuss il prior to an investigation.
Members of the sth Regiment who
were in the city last night successfully
insisted on riding in those seats of a
street car not designated for negroes.
| A crowd boarded a car going toward
the army post and occupied the seats
| in the forward part OF the car: Inc
conductor protested. stopped the car
and called a policeman. The policeman
ordered the negroes to take seats
designated for them, but they refused
| to do So The incident was closed by

BORDER SOLDIERS
OBTAIN GOOD FOOD
Maj. Gen. Bliss Finds Com
plants as to Rations of
Guardsmen GroundIess.
EARLY LACK OF VARIETY
is BEING CORRECTED
Conditions in All Camps Are De-
clared to Be Excellent.
Little Sickness.

Lack of variety-and the fault is being
corrected-has been the only justifiable
complaint against the food supplied to
the national guardsmen on the border.
Many of the militiamen comment on the
food as better than supplied on the home
table. Reports of inefficiency and bad
rations have been found to be wholly
false.
This epitomizes the report of Maj. Gen.
Tasker H. Bliss, assistant chief of staff,
Of the results of his inspection of all
camps and 10000 men in the Brownsville
district. The report has been given out
by the War Department, as follows:
II have personally visited all the camps,
approximately 10000 men, and have inter-
viewed company, regimental, brigade and
division commanders" Gen. Bliss report
ed. without exception, they have de-
nounced every story that has appeared in
the newspapers as to insutfciency or
poor quality of the rations as a deliberate
falsehood. The only ground for criticism
(and that is being rapidly remedied) Is
that in these first few days of the camps
they have not had the variety in compo-
nentS of the ration that was desired.
This is due partly to the fact that depots
have been hastily organized and great
quantitiessof supplies suddenly unloaded
in them more rapidly than they can sort
out so that they can lay their hands on
any article the moment that 1t is called
for. The matter never was any cause of
real complaint.

Urged to Return Home.

Il find in many organizations that the
enlisted personnel are being lombard
ed with letters from home begging
them to return and to take advantage
of any opportunity offered to get out
of the service. Thus far the men them
selves seem to pay little attention to
this. 1 think that what may prove to
be principal cause of unrest among
certain classes of the enlisted person
mel is the information which command
ing officers tell me is coming from their
homes to the effect that employers who
promised to continue pay or part pay
and also hold their positions for en-
ployes in the ranks are now saying
that as there is to be no war their
promises as to those matters are no
longer good.
There is one thing that is particu-
larly noticeable and pleasing among
the troops that l have thus far seen
Immediately along the border; and that
is the practical absence of intoxicat-
ticeably true in the New York division.
Officers set the best example in this
respect and the men seem to follow it.
Even in those early days OF the
movement, their tentage is ample and
excellent. their food is ample and ex-
cellent, their clothing is excellent and
ample for every organization that was
not hastily rushed to the border-and
even for them all deficiencies are rap
idly being supplied Their camps are
the very best that can be obtained in
this country and appear to be perfectly
satisfactory to the commands, their
sanitation excellent. and there is al
most no sickness, and that confined to
the small troubles incident to the
change from home to camp life"
