BALKAN VETERANS ENLIST IN
 GUARD AND LEAVE FUR BORDER

All of them speak English and variety of other languages and dia- lects. They are all anxious to see some active service, and show their American brothers what good soldiers they can make. Most of them have taken out their first citizenship papers.
 Anent Machine Gun
 Fred Wright who has been organiz- ing Q machine gun company. in spite of the fact that he has broken a hand. has persuaded his men to leave for the border at once. The plan under which they were brought to- gether. was to drill, get the equip ment and be ready for a call to the front at any time. Wright and his men have decided that they will be left out in the cold if they wait much longer. Under the provisions of the new Hay military bill as soon as the regiment is mustered in. details win be drawn from all of the companies and formed into machine gun com pany under the command of officers already with the regiment. In order
 
 new company will have to leave al once. On the other hand, the men of the company insist that they be all lowed to elect their own officers. As the war department specifically states, that the officers for machine gun company shall be detailed from other companies of the regiment. this almost l forces these men who have had regu- 1 lar army experience in such work. to go to Douglas, under officers who | have had none. The men of Wright's company fail to see this for dust. 1 There is only one vacancy for a com mission in the regiment, a first lie- l tenancy.
 1 Col. Harris suggested to Wright | yesterday that the men elect the:I' own n-commissioned officers. and after the arrival at camp. the top ser geant would probably be promoted to first lieutenant Wright agreed to this. providing Harris would get such 1 an agreement from Col Tuthill, in command of the regiment Harris wired Tuthill the particulars last night.
 Sort of Mudde
 The officers of the regiment at | Douglas are either too busy, or toe far from town to get proper wire con- nections with Col. Harris office. That 1 officer has wired time after time fol
 news of what is going on at the
 camp. but no replies come. He has no intimation of what is going on
 other than the news that dribDles
 through with men returning iron
 camp. He has asked time after time
 fer information as to the raising O
 9 motorcycle division, but has failed
 to get an answer.
 According to latest returns all O
 the companies are up to peace foot ling and ready to be mustered in Tn ! sloWness of the mastering officer i
 all that has prevented the entire reG
 ment from having been mustered il l week ago.
 Recruiting is progressing. but no . as fast as the officers of the guar would like it. The sending of tn , foreign contingent to the camp las night was one of the best boosts tha recruiting has had since the start ( the campaign.

Men Who Have Served On Firing Line In Murder ous Balkan Wars Enlist in Arizona Regiment for Service On the Border

About thirty Montenegrins and Austrians and one or two Germans arrived in Phoenix yesterday and left last night for the camp of the First Arizona volunteer infantry at Douglas. The men had all been miners in the Jerome district and answered the call of their foster country.
 Without an exception. all have had military experience. All of the men from the Balkan states have taken part in the several Balkan wars. In spite of this, few have had any mili- tary drill. In their countries. it is customary to put a rifle in a mans hands, send him to the firing line and tell him 10 shoot. In the case of the Austrians and Germans, they have had the intensive of military train ing. They were lined up yesterday afternoon, and one German stepped off with the goose step, all the same as parade on the Wilhelmstrasse
