Advantages of Opportunity.

Those who enlist now, said Col
Young, will have an opportunity OF
getting long railroad journey through
a country worth seeing. and at no ex-
pense to themselves. In addition to re.
ceiving valuable training they will par
ticipate in outdoor life which will be
helpful to them. The army food is the
best ever, he said, the ration allowances
having been worked out after years OF
study with a view to giving plenty OF
nourishment and at the same time
keeping the body in the best of condi-
ton.
Col Young said that the test was now
at hand for the civilian rif1emen. They
are to be given a chance to uphold their
own city, or what may be the city OF
their choice, by enlisting and permit
ing the District to send its full quota of
white troops to the border for service.
If they mean all they have been doing
at the Winthrop. Md, range. now is the
time to show it. he asserted.
OF course, the colonel explained, all
of those who join these clubs and
participate in the practice cannot be
expected to enlist in the militia at this
time, because there is no crisis. Mar
ried men have been excused by the
War Department. as have others with
dependent relatives. But the single
men, with no one but themselves to
look after, are to be asked to show
their patriotism and sincerity. 1t will
take only few of them.

TROOP A, CAVALRY, SHOWS
SUPERIORITY IN CONTESTS

Troop A, cavalry, maintained its ath-
letic record yesterday afternoon in an
athletic meet which was held on the
parade ground at Fort Myer. adjoining
Camp Ordway The members of this
troop, which is made up entirely OF
college men, showed their superiority
in practically all of the events in
which they took part
The affair; however, was marred
somewhat by an accident which nearly
resulted fatally to at least one artil-
leryman. Sergt. Willis S. Bryant, chief
of the sixth section of Battery A, is in
the post hospital with a badly lace
rated leg and arm and with his knee
cap out of place. The accident
occurred during the section race,
where two sections of field artillery
are started on race, starting in with
harnessing the horses and ending with
placing the guns for action and firing
a blank charge When Bryant started
with his section the gun became un-
limbered, throwing the carriage sud
denly on the horses. The horse on
which Bryant was riding fell, and a
wheel hit him. The horse and gun
carriage were dragged about 100 yards
before the other animals could be
stopped

Not All With Home Ties.

There should be enough men among
these clubmen who have not home ties
to bind them in any way and are will
ing and patriotic enough to come to
Camp Ordway and enlist for service on
the border. even if they do not get into
action In the government departments
alone, it is suggested, there are young
men serving as messengers on small
salary who could easily give up their
employment and enlist in the local Ma
tional Guard for a period of service.
The local militiamen are scheduled to
go to a place on the border. which at
the most is healthful The rifiemen are
trained to the rifle. To further prepare
themselves. it is pointed out they
should know something of how to take
care of themselves in the field. Train
ing with the rife is not all that man
needs in order to be of service in time
of war. Disease must be fought as well,
and men must know how to protect
themselves against the ravages of this
enemy as well as hit the mark with
bullets.

REPORT RECRUITING
| INCREASING AuTTLE
Long Line Today Awaits
Chance to Enter National
Guard Service.
OFFICERS HOPE SOON FOR
FILLING REGIMENT GAPS
Belief That End of the Week Will
Find Full Complement of Men
Enlisted for Border.

With recruiting increasing a little, Of
f1cers at Camp Ordway believe that the
departure of the troops now there is num-
bered by days rather than by weeks. All
the morning there was long line of men
in front of the recruiting officers tent
awaiting chance to get into the service
The greatest number OF them, however,
were members of the 1st Separate Bat
TALON.
By the end of the week, the officers be-
lieve. there will be enough new men to
fill up the gaps in the regiment, giving
each company its full quota of sixty five
men.
The troops expect to get away from
this camp either the latter part of this
week or the first of next AS soon as
the requisite number OF men are OBJ
tanned the regiment will be reported
as ready to the Department Of the East,
and then will await orders for the
movement to the Bisbee camp
Every man now in the guard is fully
uniformed and equipped. and as fast as
new man comes in he is given his
full equipment. AS soon as the last
needed man signs up IT will be merely
question of putting a uniform on him
before the regiment is reported ready.
In other respects it is prepared for
departure.
The batteries of field artillery both
need men, but Troop A of cavalry has
its minimum number and Is held back by
nothing but equipment. But twenty
good men could be used very easily in
making up the complement.

of civilian riflemen are expected to
gather there for matches to receive
rife training under government au-
spices in order to prepare them for
