San Antonio, Tex, July 1.-The
movement of National Guardsmen to
the border under the presidents call
for troops June IS, Is being conducted
more efficiently than ever before in
officers at headquarters here The
transportation and routing of the
troops has been in entire charge of the
American railway association. Routes
have been chosen SO that the troops not
only We're forwarded quickly to their
stations but also in such a manner that
ordinary train schedules have not been
interfered with, and congestion on any
one line has been avoided The traffic
has been SO evenly distributed among
the roads involved that none has been
blocked and all have had share in this
business.
1t was in pursuance of this plan thai
part of the New York guardsmen were
routed through San Antonio tt
Brownsville.
A detour was necessary but this de-
tour avoided congesting the shorter
lines with trains which it was unable
to handle.
Headquarters here has been in touch
with every unit of the National Guard

1t has been possible to divert any or

presence might be most necessary. A
representative of the American Rail-
road association notified headquarters
of the departure of each train, the
number of men and animals it carried
the supplies taken along and all neces-
sary information AT each main point
along it's route another representative

TO FRANK A. MUNsEY
Great Newspaper, After %
Years, Becomes Associated
Press Member.

New York, July 1.-After % years of
unsuccessful effort to establish pro-
prietary news gathering and distrib-
utlng organization in opposition to the
cooperative form Of the Associated
Press. the New York Sun was sold
yesterday to Frank A. Munsey, mem
Der of the Associated Press, and be-
ginning Monday next will no longer try
to gather it's own news and will re-
ceive the service of the dominant or
ganization In announcing the pur-
chase Mr.. Munsey says in today's issue
of the Sun:
The tremendous advantage to the
Sun can be appreciated only by news
paper men. Through it the Sun Sc
cures a morning membership in the
Associated Press and there is no other
possible way to secure such member
ship except through the purchase of a
newspaper owning one.
Through a miXup that occurred
some years ago. when the Associated
Press was reorganized, the Sun did not
associate itself with all the other
morning papers of the town in the re-
organization. Ever since it has been
compelled to gather it's news alone and
at a vast annual expenditure in excess
of the cost of receiving it through the
Associated Press.
Moreover, it is not possible for a
single newspaper to compete in news
gathering with the Associated Press,
which is the peerless news gathering
organization of all the world. With
the Associated Press membership
which the Sun secures through this
merger it Will be equipped for better
work so far as concerns its news ser
vice than at any time in it's history
better than in the old days when it was
a member of press association. be-
cause the Associated Press of today is
incoHlparably better and bigger than
any previous news gathering orgcni.
