SAYS AMERICAN SPIRIT
is OPPOSED TO WAR
It's Because There's Work to Do and
Not Because of Cowardice, Says
Secretary Lane.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., June 21.-The
American spirit is against war, not be-
cause Americans are afraid to fight
other enterprises more important than
war, Franklin X. Lane, Secretary of
the Interior. declared in commence
ment address at Brown University to-
day. The degree of doctor of laws was
conferred on the Secretary. Charles f.
Hughes, republican nominee for Pres
ident, was another honor guest of the

nor because we have grown 1abby and
soft, orr even because We have
become conscious converts TO the
Prince of Peace. But we in America
have something larger to do. We are
discovering our country. We have not
time for war. We are doing some
thing so much more important We are
at work. That is the greatest of all
adventures. When war comes To a
democracy it comes because we are not
allowed peacefully to work.
What would we fight for? For
what Roger Williams fought for-to
be let alone, to have the opportunity
to show what man can do for man.

Enlisted When Seventeen.

Mr.. Brockman seeks to prevent the
mastering of his son into the service.
The boy, he declares. was only seven
teen years old when he enlisted with
out his parents consent. May IS, 1918.
Referring to the mobilization order.
Mr.. Brockman. in his petition, declared
that 1t violates the constitutional
rights of his son and of himself. He
points out that article /, section S,
clause Is, of the Constitution of the
United States provides for calling forth
the National Guard only for the pur-
pose of executing the laws of the
Union, of suppressing instructions
and repelling invasion. He asserts that
none of these reasons or causes for eN-
ercising the power so vested in the
President now exists and there is no
reason for depriving his son OF his
liberty or the petitioner of his custody
and control of the boy.
Attorney Frederick r. Whippler. who
filed the petition. accompanied Deputy
Marshal Palmer to the l. street armory
and served the paper on Adjt. Fullam.
The boy may be brought to court late
this afternoon.
Mr.. Brockman in his petition tells
the court that no attempt was made
by officers of the guard to obtain his
consent to the enlistment The petit
ton advises the court of President
Wilson's mobilization order, and that
in execution of it the command which
includes his son is under orders to pro-
coed to Fort Myer Va. to be mustered
into the service of the United States.

Scenes When Guardsmen Leave in
Many Cities Recall Departure
for Spanish-American War.

NEW YORK. June 21.-The first two
regiments of the New York National
Guard to respond to the call for service
on the Mexican border left this city to-

will be assembled when the state mobt-
lization is complete. They were the
Goth Infantry and the additional six
companies of the s2d Engineers, two
companies of which already were at
Camp Whitman" A part of the 1st Sig
nal Corps also started for the camp today
Tomorrow the list Regiment will
leave for the camp. and during the re-
mander of the week officers of the
New York division expect regiments
from other parts of the state will ar
rive there.
The departure of the artillery regi-
ments is being delayed by inability to
obtain horses on short notice 1t is
not considered likely that they will be
ready for complete mobilization until
next week.
Regiments Waiting in Armories.
Most of the other New York city regi-
ments are in their armories awaiting
the order to start for the camp, and
meantime are recruiting to bring their
enlistments to full war strength.
Hopes were aroused among the Off
GERS and men that they would be sent
direct to the Mexican border instead
of the state camp in response to Gen.
Funston's request for National Guard
troops to be hurried there, but no or
ders to that effect had been received
early today.
Relatives of the soldiers crowded the
streets in the vicinity of their ar
mories as the troops marched out To-
day. and the scenes there and at the
railroad station resembled those which
attended the departure of troops FOR
the Spanish-American war.

lean Tobacco Company, announced to-
