DUE BACK HOME OCT. 3
Three Philadelphia Regiments
Expected to Return Soon
From Border

Philadelphla's three infantry regiments
the First, Second and Third, may return
from FL Paso october 3.
orders have been issued at Camp Stew
art, Texas, for the entrainment on Sep
tember 81 Of the Pennsylvania troops to
be returned horne. The choice lies with
Major General Clement commander of the
division, but II a suggestion by Major Cen
eral Funston, commander of the Southern
Department is carried out, the three regi-
ments of the First Brigade will be the
lucky ones General Funston suggested
sending home the first troops that arrived
at the border town ten weeks ago.
The Second Regiments recent conversion
TO an artillery unit and the issuance to 1t OF
artillery equipment may cause the indefinite
stay of that unit at the border. in which
event Il is understood the Tenth Infantry,
of western Pennsylvania, will be substi-
tuted for release from duty. The War De-
partment has not yet confirmed the con-
version of the regiment.
Where the troops will be mustered out
of Federal service has not been decided, but
because of the excellent weather on the
border 1t is expected that the transfer back
into State service will be made at Camp
Stewart and the troops sent direct to their
homes without returning to the Mt Gretns
mobilization camp. The trip home will re
quire from five to six days.
The vacancies in the seventh division
caused by the removal of the three regi
ments will be filled by North Carolins
troops, consisting of an infantry brigade. 6

and ambulance company.

number of private papers, took what they
wanted and threw the others around the

Entering the store by way of the dining

boxes of cigars and several hundred boxes
Of cigarettes. Being rather neat in their
ways, they wrapped these nicely before car

were scattered about the floor.
out in the dining room the thieves broke
open the drawers of the buffet and took a
peek in various dishes, where women otter
keep money, but found nothing to their

They were so taken up with their work
that they forgot to blow out a candle in the
kitchen. II Soffias had not risen a little
