Flanking the polo ground, two regi-

the brow OF the hill are the horsemen
of Squadron A and the First New York

thousands OF wives, sisters and sweet

lines of automobiles rolled, giving the

WAR CONDITIONS

Army Speed Maintained In Ma

Camp Taps Phone Line.

fFrom /. star Correspondent OF ms Tribune J
Beekmantown, y. Y, June 26.-After
cleaning up the last vestige Of three
tons OF food the rockies thought
dreamily for a while this evening about
a big day and then crawled under
their pup tents and slept on the ground
as though 1t were a bed Of feathers.
The three tons of food, in which was
2lO pounds Of jelly, built up the en-
ergy and tissues expended in the ten
mile hike, under war conditions, up
and down the Adirondack foothills
from their concentration camp at
Plattsburg TO their field camp in a
little wood just west Of here.
Although to-day's movement took
them ten miles further from the Mexi-
can border, it did not mean they were
running away from the fight. 1t was a
strategic march that took them many
times the value of ten miles nearer
preparedness. For the rookie is begin
ming really TO learn what stuff he is
made Of tonight. after three weeks
instruction in the theory OF war. He
put into practice to-day 10 the fullest
possible extent, short Of actual COM
bat, all he has been taught.
Fat Man First in Camp.
"The day" for the rockies began az
5:45, and by 8 o'clock they were on
the march. Up through the heart OF
Plattsburg they went, singing the
burghers 10 the doors and windows.
But, acting on the advice Of one Of
their instructors, not to play any
militia tricks, such as waving at the
girls" they went singing on about
their business without needing the
townsfolk
They reached their first bivouac By
1880 o'clock, having made the regula-
ton army rate Of between two and
three miles an hour. The only man
forced TO give up was the 267-pound
Dr. NJ. J. Murphy, who succumbed TO
the camp surgeons advice rather than
70 his own lack Of grit. He made the
last half OF the advance aboard
bus" arriving triumphantly in camp
at the head of the column.
The camp site is in a grove Of sugar
NAPLES beside a stream Of sweet water.
AS the companies came abreast the
ground they were turned sharply to
the left. one after the other, until the
whole regiment was in, one company
behind the other. Then came the COM
mand, Left facet" and as their Of
ficers counted zone, two, three, four"

to march straight ahead until the next

Praise for Officers

He went directly 70 the colonels re-
ception room, where he was met by
Colonel Fisk, Colonel Vanderbilt and
the officers of the regiment. Intro
duced by Colonel Fisk, the Governor
made a brief speech 70 the officers, re
minding them of the oath they had
taken to serve the nation and the state,
and praising them for the way they
had answered the call.

Regiment sang its willingness TO face
the Mexicans to the tune of "Tippe-
rary." The parody, originating in Com
pany F, was soon adopted by the en-
tire regiment, and the armorv rang
with it all day. When the announce
ment that tho troops would not entrain
last night and that the men would be
allowed 70 leave the armory until 7
o'clock this morning was made there
was a general feeling of disappoint-
ment.
Hundreds Of cases Of shoes, uniforms
and general equipment reached the ar
mory yesterday morning. In answer 20
a request for twenty-six tons of ammu-
milton thirteen were delivered. Drills
continued all day while the medical eX-
aminations were taking place.
In the whole regiment, now number
ing about 400 men, there were only
twenty reflections, most Of them be-
cause Of deficient eyeslgnt. These men
were transferred to other units, such
as the hospital or supply corps.
"The small percentage of reflections
is remarkable" Colonel Fisk said yes
terdav afternoon. "But our surgeons
have always been very strict in making
examinations. Nhlle most OF the men
arc fully equipped, some still lack GER
tain things. Although we will not take
these men or the new recruits with US,

"CALORIES! THEY WILL DECIDE WAR! AND
GERMANS AREN'T GETTING ENOUGH
ES

$
BY CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL
The Hague, Holland, July 25.-The
news reports always say that this is
a war of artillery, shells and trench
es. No doubt. But it is just as much
a war of wages and of stomachs.
Just as much, and l guess it is
more. So far, artillery, shells and
trenches can't be said to have set
tied anything, but in Germany, any
way, wages and stomachs are set
ting things with considerable "a
pidity.
Wages, stomachs and caIories.
That's a great thing-calories. Ca
tories are bossing the job.
With reason or without it, all about
Europe the cost of living has been
soaring and soaring. Wherever that
happens, it is the workers and their
families that get squeezed. They fight
the wars, pay for the wars and starVe
for the wars. That is the bitter truth
of the case.
Persons that have moderate to

get pinched when the cost of living
goes up. They utter the loud roar,
but they are not vitality hit. With the
workers it is a different story. They
get the bulge and it hurts.
Unless there is a corresponding in
crease in wages
In Great Britain the cost of living
has increased 81 per cent in two
years. In the same time, wages have
increased, it is estimated, an aver
age of ~ per cent. But many wages
have much exceeded that figure, and
if you include the governments sep
aration allowances a vastly greater
wage fund has been distributed than
was ever known there before.
In Germany in the same time the
cost of living has increased 1879 per
cent. But because Gemany's out

ENOUGH"
\YS CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL
there has been less instead of more
demand for labor, and the average in
crease of wages has been slight.
Very few working people are better
fed because of the war; millions are
worse fed.
The average poorer class German
is now beginning for the first time to
show plainly the signs of a dimin-
ished diet-show it in face and in
girth.
That is to say, he is shy of ca
tories.
In July many municipalities began
to feed the poorer people at public
expense, and thus a large part of the
nation was getting its meals, such
as they were, at municipal kitchens.
For more than year it had been to
a. great extent on rations-that is, all
the poor had been. The rich could
always get enough, and can now.
There rations and the municipal
meals are calculated on the basis of
2,2OO Galleries a day for each adult.
But your scientists long ago de-
tennined 2,400 Galleries a day to be
the minimum for normal life.
In Great Britain the present con-
sumption is said to be 1000 Galleries
a day.
So the German worker is shy 200 a
day of the minimum supply and prob
ably 1900 a day of the amount the
more fortunate British workers get.
The German governing classes are
still keen for war; they have plenty
of Galleries. Millions of German
workers are dead weary of war and
are beginning to demand peace.
In the last month there have been
menacing outbreaks in Berlin (tWo),
Munich (three), Coblentz, Bruins
wick, Osnabruck, Magdeburg, Co.
logne (two), Aachen, and elsewhere.

The presidential campaign
now on the eve of beginning,
Is likely to proceed along dig
nified and conservative lines.
With Hughes nominated by
the Republicans and Wilson's
nomination by the Democrats
a foregone conclusion, there
now remains only the uncer-
tainty of the Progressive par

IGNORING THE CLOCK

1t isn't really necessary for
a country or city to turn the
clock ahead in order to get
more use out of the daylight
hours. as Germany, England,
Cleveland and Detroit have
done, says the Bisbee Review.
If the community doesn't feel
like making the change, there
are plenty of business institu-
tions and plenty of individ-
uals who can 60 ahead and
make it themselves.
An early opening and early
closing campaign is under way
in Chicago. A considerable
number of business firms
have already been converted.
If they have been accustomed
to beginning work at eight
O'Clock and closing at $50,
they simply change their
schedule, beginning at 7 and
There are hundreds of thou
