EXPECT BATTERY c
Continued From First Pago.)


Captain I. p. johnson, would entrain
Sunday. leaving Richmond over the
Atlantic Coast Line. The other three
batteries comprising the battalion,
the Richmond Howitzers, command
ed by Captain William NJ. Myers;
Norfolk Blues. in command OF Cap
tain kear. and the Hampton Battery.
commanded by Captain Couch. would
leave Monday over the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad.
The movement of the troops at the
time stated depends on whether the
equipment and orders are received to-
day. There is considerable work in
cident to the departure, and 1t is esti-
mated that 1t would require two days
alone to mount the artillery and
caissons on the cars. 1t was expected
last night that all necessary cars for
this purpose would be placed in post
ton before this Morning
Blues May Leave Soon.
Belief was expressed yesterday that
the Blues Cavalry and the other COM
mands In Camp Stuart would leave
Richmond in about ten days. 1t was
pointed out that all available equip
ment for military use was being used
for the transportation Of the Field
Artillery, and .as soon as this was
returned from the border. the Caval-
ry, Signal Corps. Medical Corps and
Engineer Corps would start south.
There seems to be no doubt that all
Of the Virginia troops will be in Texas
in a short time.
Sixteen men were yesterday taken
from the casual companies at Camp
Situate and attached to Battery c to
bring that command up to the re-
quired number for muster. Captain
A. M. Ship could not execute this
procedure, however. because of some
hitch in the transfer of State equip
ment to the Federal authorities, It
was necessary to determine Just what
was State property and what belonged
to the government, and on this ac-
count the muster was delayed until
today. Clerks last night worked on
the property transfer papers, straight
ening out the difficulties, and it Is ex-
pected that they will be ready today.
Due to the resignation on account
of business reasons, of Second Lieu
tenant J. c. Satterfield. Of Ports
mouth. Battery c. anAelection will be
held this morning to fill this vacancy.
With this office filed. and Battery G
mustered in. the famous old Grimes
command will once more be itself.

by the Militia Bureau, that the Lynch
burg Company of Coast Artillery had
passed the Federal, inspection, and
was declared to be ready for recox-

We Are Called To Peace.

AS Christian Americans II behooves
us to remember that we are called
to peace. to freedom, and to righteous
ness, and therefore to resist in every
way possible the sinister influences
that are in favor of war. Let Chris
tian Americans unite In prayer for
peace. Let them dare to think for
themselves and assert their indepen-
dence. Let them hold themselves
ready to respond with their support
to any practical movement that seeks
to keep the nation out of the war
Then there will be no question as to
who will win in the great struggle

In these words Frank A. Vanderbilt,

He asked for training in military
service for all men, greater savings
by all classes and greater efficiency
in industrial pursuits.
Il once thought you could count
universal military service as an eco
