ALL GUARDSMEN TO
MEXICAN BORDER
ORDERS OF STATES OF KEN.
TUcKY, OHIO AND VERMONT
MOVE OVER 10000.
TO HAVE $4,000 MEN ON LINE
Secretary Baker Says the Movement
Has Nothing Whatever to Do
With Mexican Situation-Done
Solely to Relieve Troops.

Washington-All the national guard
units included in President Wilson's
call of June IS, not yet on the Next
can border, were ordered there Mon
day by the war department.
Between 10000 and $4,000 addition
al troops will thus be added to the
border forces. National guard forces
there will number approximately 1885,
900 and the total of all troops on the
border or in Mexico will be $4,000.
Secretary Baker made formal an
nouncement that the troop move
ment had nothing whatever to do
with the Mexican situation as such,
and was solely to relieve thousands
of troops now held in mobilization
camps only because ahey lack few
recruits to bring units up to fixed
minimum strength.
The New Contingent.
The order sends the troops from
Kentucky, Ohio and Vermont to the
border as soon as transportation can
be arranged for them and will move
all the others as soon as they are
properly equipped. The war depart
ment officials decided on their action
because the troops are FESTIVE in
camp and there seemed to be no
stimulus to recruiting while there
was no prospect of movement to the
border They now expect most of
the regiments will be filled before
the troops leave.
The Kentucky, Ohio and Vermont
troops, which will move practically at
once, will add the following units to
the long border line:
Kentucky-One brigade of three
regiments of infantry; one company
signal corps; one field hospital and
one ambulance company, modified at
Fort Thomas.
Ohio-Two brigades of three regi.
ments each of infantry; one squad.
ron cavalry; one battalion field ar.
tillery; one battalion engineers, one
battalion signal corps; three field
hospitals; two ambulance companies,
all modified at Columbus.
Vermont-One regiment infantry
and one squadron cavalry at Col
chester.

The mail order house and the ped
dler work under the disadvantage OF
competing with system of distribu-
ton that has been demonstrated to
conserve a larger element Of economy
and satisfaction in supplying the re-
quirements of the public. When they
take the business away from the re-
tail merchant it is evident that they
are employing more aggressiveness
and effective sales methods in over
coming natural handicap. This is
point that is worth while mulling

KAISER AT THE 'FRONT.'
HE REVIEWS THE TROOPS
Appears Unexpectedly to the East Of
somme for Dramatic Parade
His Health ls Excellent.

With the German Army in France,
Undated, via Berlin to London.-East
of the Somme, with the French guns
roaring a morning salute and the
German cannon laundering in reply,
the German emperor Unexpectedly ap-
peared August IL in little village
Just behind the front and reviewed
a hastily improvised parade and dec
Grated a number of officers and sol
diers. He addressed the men BRIEF
ly and was then whisked on to the
most advanced position.
Notwithstanding the heavy fog that
generally prevails in the early morn
ing in this section, the emperor's Wis
it had something brilliant and dra-
matte in it. Upon a broad level plain
thanked by picturesque French cha
tea uall the troops in the immediate
neighborhood had collected.
Kaiser Thanks Soldiers.
The emperor arrived at $3.50 O'Clock
his suite including Prince Eitel, no.
ted admiral and several generals. The
troops had been drawn up in hollow
square formation, and his majesty,
looking trim and fit, though perhaps
somewhat wearied, quickly passed in
review, shaking hands here and there
with officers he knew personally, and
repeatedly saluting the soldiers, who
stood at "pesent arms as stiffly and
correctly as in any parade in Berlin.
The officer in command of the reg.
iments inspected by the emperor then
delivered a brief address, in which
he assured his majesty in the name
of the troops that all were prepared
to fight on Indefinitely for the EN-.
peror's and the country's sake. A
"hoch!" that must have been heard in
the French lines went up before the
emperor could answer. Then he
spoke in clear, ringing voice, thank
ing the men.
Emperor In Fine Trim.
In the center of the hollow square
the emperor decorated number of
the officers, and eventually took up
position on the road leading to the
front trenches, while the regiments
many of whom were composed of new
troops, marched by in the famous
goose step. The correspondent stod
only few yards distant and was
able to note the seemingly remark
able physical condition of the EN-
peror, who, in reviewing the troops
stood more erect and sitter than the
youngest subaltern, and, with glance
of approval or slight frown, indi
Gated his pleasure or di-pleasure. II
fairness to the troops it should be
said that his majecty smiled most Of
the time.
The emperor required upward Of ar
hour to review the troops and take 8
trifle of refreshment, and was ther
whirled away toward the front lines
as suddenly as he had come.
