ON ORDER TO MILITIA
Spends Quiet Sunday-MooSe
Leaders to Call.

fFrom a star Correspondent OF Tho Trihune)
Oyster Bay, y. Y, June 18-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt tonight refused
to comment on the ordering of militia
for service in Mexico, sending word to
the reporters who called at Sycamore
Hill that he had nothing TO say.
The Colonel spent Sunday quietly
in his home playing grandfather to
Theodore Roosevelt, 3rd, and Miss
Oracle Roosevelt. His only visitors
were the Rev. Mr.. Talmadge, who called
to pay his respects. and few neigh
bors.
This week it is probable that num-

National Committee for its meeting on

i'm all probability be an Endorsement Of
Justice Hughcs's candidacy. no intima-
tiOn is forthcoming as to its contents.
Colonel Roosevelt may omit his
usual weekly visit 20 his New York
Office this week that he may become
entirely free of the attack of pleurisy

Although none of the higher officials
Of the department would make any
statement as 10 the plans Of the de-
partment in the absence Of Commis-
sioner Woods, who is on mis- honey
moon, il was pointed out that numer-.
Gus emergencies might arise because Of
the departure of the militia.
"Just suppose, for instance, that
some crank or radical foreign sym
pathizer should decide that this was
an opportune moment TO strike against
tho muntion business said one Of
fetal Of the department. ut is easy TO
see that policemen, acting IN their
ordinary capacities, would find II dim

any such organized effort.
Poor Time for Sedition.
"Also, il has been suggested, but not
generally accepted, that much Of the
present trouble in Mexico has been
brought about to give Uncle Sam plenty
10 do at his own side door, and thus
making it impossible for him 20 meddle
in affairs abroad. If this theory should
prove correct, il is,easy TO imagine that
advantage might be taken Of the with
drawal of the state militia by secret
agents OF foreign powers here If they
thought a good opportunity offered.
"But nothing Of the sort will be at
tempted, I imagine. when It is known
that 5000 men who have known how 10
use firearms and how to face death
without hinching all their lives are or
ganized and ready to meet any enemy

the training they now have, would bear
favorable comparison with any body oil

Mexican Situation at Once
Becomes Plattsburg's
One Topic.
MANY FEAR CAMPS
WILL BE CRIPPLED
Guardsmeu Rush to Make In
quiries-Men in Tension
Over Appointments.
From star Correspondent O, m, Tribune

From q Star Correspondent OF ihN ltlbu"'I
Plattsburg, n. Y. June Is. What
will be the fate OF the Plattsburg
camp?" was the topic Of discussion
here tonight wherever news OF the
Mexican situation was heard. Opinions
ran from the belief that the possibility
Of hostilitics would bring the need of
preparedness even more forcibly to the
fore and therefore boom the work at
the training camps. to the fear that the
acute need Of regular army officers at
the front would cripple the instruc-
tional side Of the work here and make
the abandonment Of the camps a pos
sibility.
Officially, absolutely nothing is known
here as to what may be expected. Cap
tain Edgar T. Collins, the camp adju-
tant, said tonight that most OF the
eficcrs here were picked up from va
rious kinds of detached service, not
being at present connected with any
commands.
"But it is impossible to say what TO
look for.' he continued. 81 wish |
knew. We have received no word yet.
It is a question whether the army Off
GERS here will be needed to go to the
front. whether they can be spared to
instruct the men mere, or whether they
will have TO be sent 20 duty with the
national guard. Only Washington car
answer those questions

The July camps will be much big

fifteen battalion commanders. sixty
company commanders, five mess officers
100 non-commissioned officers, twenty
mess sergeants, five provost sergeant:
and probably fifty other various kind:
Of camp officers.
There has been for days a growing
feeling of speculation among the rock
les as TO what attitude they, as an or
ganization, would take in case of cal
for volunteers from the government
Tonight as the news spread some OF
the men began 20 recall remarks made
by their officers which they now inter
pret as being "feelers" TO get an ides
as to whether the men would 80 into
the service if called.
In enrolling for the training camp:
il is stipulated in the terms of enlist
ment that the men incur no obligation:
10 serve. One point made which would
appear favorable 10 maintaining The
camps and even increasing their scope
was that the fundamental purpose oi
the training was 20 create men who
would be able 20 60 on in turn 20 serve

Offers Aid to Government
in Present Mexican
Crisis.
80 GUARD OFFICERS
HAVE HAD TRAINING
Each Worth 800 Soldiers in
Campaign. Says Statement
Sent Wilson.

The Aero club Of America, Alan p.
Hawley. its president, announced last
night, would do all in Sc power to aid
the government IN the present Mexican
crisis by furnishing aeroplanes and
aviators for patrol work, and by pro-
viding for the schooling in aeronautics
Of likely material in the militia.
Upon learning that the militia had
been called out the executive commit
tee Of the club prepared statement
of its aeronautic resources and for
warded it TO Washington, with letter
written to President Wilson by Mr..
Hawley. before the latest Development
in the border situation arose. The let
ter urged an immediate Congressional
appropriation of S5.OOO,0OO for aero
nautic schools and aeroplane squad
rons.
"The Aero Club Of America will
gladly give all possible aid IN furnish
ing ayiators and machines" the state
ment read I'VE are In close touch
with all aviation pilots. and place our
services at the disposal of the govern
ment. We notified the Secretary OF
War to that effect last March, when
Villa made his first raid on Columbvs.
At that time the Secretary. in thank
ing US. stated that the expedition
that was going into Mexico had all
the aeroplanes that were necessary.
with tho NDFTp-
tarv on that point. and therefore,
made every effort 10 train national
Guard officers and civilian avlators.
Thirty officers of the national guard
of as many states have been sent to
aviation schools TO receive training at
the expense of the National Acroplane
Fund Of the Aero Club of America
and some are ready TO pass the tests
for their aviators' certificates. Many
Of them only need a few weeks OF
training AZ the army aviation schools
70 make suitable military avlators.
Each Worth 200 Soldiers.
"As they are, they would each be
worth at least 300 soldiers for the Mex
lean campaign. There are about 100
civilian aviators i'm the country. one
half are engaged in exhibition flying
These. could be sent 20 the army avla-
tion school, which should be promptly
established, as suggested in our letter
to President Wilson. All these avia-
tors will have to be equipped with
aeroplanes, and as no orders for these
machines have been placed it may re-
quire a few weeks TO get them.
"An appropriation Of $5'OOO,0OC
should be Immediately made available
for this purpose. The national guarc
OF forty states have advised the Aero
Club of America that they have a
large number Of guardsmen who are
anxious TO learn TO fly As they have
already had military training, they
would make the most promising stu
dents. If a sufficient number of ma
chimes are secured, so that there viii
be one machine available 20 every foul
students, many of them can be taught
10 fy i'm between six and eight weeks.
That will not, Of course, make military
pilots Of them. but they will be worth
at least 500 soldiers in the Mexicar
campaign"
