Drafts feel best when we are hot

Liniment. 1t stimulates circulation
to the sore and painful part. The
blood flows freely and in a short time
the stiffness and pain leaves. Those
suffering from Neuralgia or Neural
gic Headache will find one or two APP
plications of Sloan's Liniment will
give grateful relief. The agonizing
pain gives way to a tingling sensa-

Cannon Denounces Wilson'S
Handling of Mexico as
'Washy, HOg-WallotO Policy

Washington, D. c., June 29. -
Deriding President wilson's handling
of the Mexican problem as "a dilly-
daily, wishy-washy, hog -wallowy
policy" former Speaker Cannon in
the House to-day declared to the
House that if he were President he
would establish military government
lin Mexico City and support 1t by force
until Mexican could be found who
could maintain peace and order.
God knows 1 don't want Mexico"
shouted Cannon. Il don't think we
need 1t; But we can't get anywhere by
feeding soothing syrup to bandits. I
would go into Mexico and in a manly,
straightforward way tell the Mexicans
that we must have peace and order. I
would not leave that country until we
had written into its fundamental law
a provision that the United States
might intervene as it may do in Cuba,
in case orderly government is not
maintained"
wouldn't you make Mexico, with
all its wealth, pay for the great ex-
pcnditure we would undergo IN paci-
flying that country" asked Represen-
tattve Taggart of Kansas.
well, we can settle that when the
time comes" answered Cannon.
During a session which bristled with
martial oratory the Houses added to
the war action already taken the fol-
lowing:
Passage of an urgent deficiency bill
appropriating S27,536.000 to defray
the expenses of mobilizing, equippinS
and transporting the regular army and
the militia called into service.
Final agreement, after a heated de-
bate to the resolution authorizing
President Wilson to draft the militia
into the Federal service for the
period of the emergency
The House accepted with bitter
protest the Senate proposal stripping
from the measure the provision or
81, 100000 for the relief of dependent
families of militiamen, but 1t also
struck out the Senate provision au-
thorizing the War Department to ex-
cuse from service militiamen with de-
pendent familieh.

CAMP TO LAST
ALL SUMMER ?
To Use Gretna as Training
Ground For Raw Recruits
When Guardsmen Leave
From a staff Correspondent

Camp Brumbaugh, Mt. Gretna, June
2S.-General belief that this camp will
last all summer, unless Carranza quits,
is expressed here. The National
Guardsmen will likeIy be away within
a fortnight and then the camp will be
tenanted by recruits being whipped
into shape with possibility that some
of the regular army regiments may be
sent here as the Nineteenth Infantry
was sent to Camp Meade after the
Spanish War.
The story is being told that some
army officers look for this to be big
point for training and organization of
men and If there will be any United
States volunteers organized some regi-
ments will be mustered in here.
Judging from the tons of quarter
masters stores piled up here and the
amount coming as we'll as the elab-
crate plans being made for the future
more than this camp is planned for
Mt. Gretna. At first it was thought
that the War Department was stock
ing up so that the militiamen could
stay here three weeks or so to get
hardened and trained, but there is
something else in the wind. The War
department wants the men as soon as
practicable and they will not linger
any longer than to prepare them with
equipment and preventive treatment.
The regular army officers and the
National Guardsmen are working to-
gether, the difficulties over the medi-
cal examinations and muster in of the
First Brigade having been ironed out
They are forgotten in the enthusiastic
manner in which the professional sol
diers and the men who have just come
from civil life are tackling the gigan-
tic task in front of them. 1t has been
tremendous job to get all these men
equipped, under the present national
administration, and prepared for SER
vice in climate utterly different from
this. Many men would have desired
to keep the militiamen here a month
but with the demands from Texas,
Governors Island and the War De-
partment for men coming every day
in stronger terms there was nothing to
do but make the best of it. And when
the story of this camp is written with
some comments on why the National
Guard of Pennsylvania does not have
motor trucks, machine guns. etc, as
1t Will be, there will be garlands hung
in some places and crepe in others.
The men, the State arsenal and the
railroads buckled down to making the
mobilization notable, but there are
men out drilling in the hot sun to-day
in the clothes they wore when they
left their jobs at home. Pennsylvania
was only required to take care of the
minimum peace strength. War
strength means fifty per cent. more
than peace strength to be uniformed
equipped, housed and fed. The feed
ing has been in the hands of Guards
men.

first time since their mobilization on

day are in Mexico on military service
Three motor trucks were loaded
with New Mexico guardsmen last
night and dispatched down General

PUTTING MEN OF
EIGHTH IN SHAPE
Hard Work at Camp Will Re-
duce Number of Reflections
Is Belief
IFrOm a star Correspondent

Camp Brumbaugh, Mt. Gretna, June
2S.-The Eighth Regiment got down
to camp routine last evening when the
regimental flags were placed at Col
Ftnney's tent and the visitors are able
to find the organization better than a
day ago. This ceremony was attended
by various officers and the Eighth was
complimented upon getting down to
the routine.
1t is expected that medical examina-
lon or the Eighth will come along in
few days. The western regiments
are being examined to-day while the
harrisburg commands are recovering
from the precautions taken against ty-
phoid and smallpox. Ten per cent. has
been the average of reflections by the
surgeons. but the time spent in camp
the hard work and rational feeding
are doing much to put the Eighth in
TO shape and the men hope 20 cut down
the figures. The Eighth has been re-
markably healthy and the only fears
now are for Major ]. NJ. Peters, the sur
seon, who is working day and night
examining men in other regiments. Pri-
Vate Ely turned up yesterday with an
injured ankle but hopes to be all right
in a day or So
Ihe Eighth recruits are being ham
mered into shape in remorseless fashion
and drillmasters like Sergeant Thomas.
OF Company 1, are hopeful that they
VIII make a fine showing. The de-
parture of the colored cooks was the
occasion for quite a ceremony The
departure of the cooks is regretted.
! The Eighth, like the Fourth, has n
wonderful line of visitors and many
Harrisburgers are among the callers.
The visitors are not expected to bring
candy, but gifts of fruit and the like
for the mess would add much.
