Secretary OF War Baker this after

that orders for the return Of the Nir-

and the Old Dominion troopers will
either be on their native soil or on
their way by the time Christmas Day
rolls around.
There has hardly been IA day during

retary Baker. III which he was urged
TO order home the Virginia troops
Senator Swanson called at the Secrc-
tary's office this morning and this az
ternoon Representative Glass saw the
Secretary. and the glad news for the
Virginia troopers was reported to Mr.
Glass
Senator Swanson. In his conference
with Secretary Baker to-day. referred
10 the complaints being made that the
Nirginians are Disseminated against
by being kept on the border. He said
It has been generally understood that
the troops would be sent home IN tn"
order in which they were sent to the
border. This understanding which
prevails among the militiamen. pointed
out Senator Swanson. was not adhered
TO so far as the Virginia troops are
concerned. as an Iowa regiment. which
went to the border late. was ordered
home ahead OF tho Nriginians.
ASK SAME CONSIDERATION
SHOWN OTHER TROOPS
The Senator made II plain to Secre-
tary Baker that the Virgnians want TO
do their duty. but they also expect to
be treated with the same consideration
which is shown other troops.
There are about 5000 Virginia SOL
diers At the front. They consist Of the
First and Second Regiments. and a
number of independent commands. such
as the Richmond Blues and Richmond
Howitzers. the Norfolk Light Artillery
Blues and the Grimes Battery. OF
Portsmouth. 1t Is not known whether
all the Nirginians will be included in
the orders which Secretary Baker said
will be issued within the next few days
for their return home. The First and
Second Regiments went 10 the border
about three weeks after the mobiliza
ton. Tho independent commands did
not go until some time In September
1t is possible that these will lie left
behind. The Virginia members OF Con
grcss. however. are confident that all
the men in the First and Second Regi-
ments will be included i'll the home
