trains speeding toward the border.
Major General Leonard Woods orders
for this force to proceed at once to the

Wood Works Hard.
Not since Spanish american war days
has the Department of the East. with
headquarters at Governors Island. been

jutant generals that the men are ready
and fully mobilized.
Regimental commanders In the States
where immediate movement was or
dered worked the greater part OF the
night communicating with railroad
neads and arranging transportation.
since the Government has power to
commander transportation facilities, n
was admitted today that ordinary travel
probably would be sidetracked for the
next few days to permit expeditions
handling of the militiamen.
one thing that may hold UP actual de-
parture of New York and New Jersey
mlitiamen. at least, is desire to await
arrival of special supply trains from the
Schuylkill supply depot. Philadelphia,
carrying equipment.
Trains to Start Today.
But State commanders without excep-
tion reported their belief they would be
able 10 begin the troop movement this
afternoon. The supply trains were ex-
pected some time today.
So urgent was the demand of the
militia that medical examination will be
waived. Regiments which brought their
standing up TO full war strength by
hrrry-up recruiting during the last few
osys will take thteir green men along,
anticipating time to train them upon ar
