former military leaders and is offer
ing amnesty in turn.

slipped up to the curb.
captain Jack met Governor Brum-
baugh and Mr.. Ball and at the Gov
elnor's request escorted him to the
right of the line. AS the Governor
stopped for a moment to each men he
said
A Governors "Good-by"
Let me congratulate YOU on your
splendid appearance. The country
would surely be in a badly way. If it
did not have such as you to fall back
upon. I've more than a kindly inter-
est in you men; the Troop is the gov
ernor's bodyguard, you know. I've
followed your work carefully. Your
work at Pittsburgh was particularly
comm endable. Ah," he nodded ap-
preciatively as he noted an ex-regular
with automatic slung to his hip, YOU
seem to be fully prepared for real
service. My best wishes go with you.
Take care of yourselves. boys. Good
by ana good luck-wherever YOU goi"
While inspecting the armory the
Governor heartily commended Cap
of the men. And after he had broken
bread, the assembled troopers gave
real cavalryman's cheer to the de-
parting executive.
At the Infantry Armory
Governor Brumbaugh talked from
the platform of the infantry armorv
to the assembled men of Companies

their splendid appearance, fitness and
patriotism and said that as always,

ready to uphold the honor of the Flag.

Some Who Want to Go"
Sometime before o'clock whistling
lost its charm and the troopers let
loose what was left of their enthusiasm
in long cheers-for each man.
Recruiting is going on a-pace at the
Troo parmory. kilograms arrive from
time to time from ex-members of
the command who are willing and
eager to come from out-of-town to
enlist. Five members of the State
police, all eX-members wrote Captain
Jack that they'll enlist if they can ar
range to have their positions kept open
for them. Another busy recruit added
to the Troops ranks to-day was
David Mcconnell, famous throughout
this section of the State as a basket
bali player. Several ex-regular cav

For an hour or so to-day the troop

Saber drills have been discarded al
though the men when mounted will
carry this weapon along. No drilling
with horses even for the recruits will
be possible before the men get to Mt.
Gretna at least. and possibly not even
then. The raw recruit may not get

he gets to the border.

Brazil Closely FolloUs
. Crisis With Mexico
By associated Press

Rio Janeiro. June 23.-The crisis
between Mexico and the United States
Is being followed with keen interest in
Brazil and occupies a large space in
the newspapers. The general tone of
the editorial comment is that Presi-
dent Wilson, actuated by the best mo-
tives. has run afoul of preponderating
elements in Mexico which are under
German influence.
In official circles hope is expressed
that war will be avoided. but it is fully
recognized that the continued disord-
ders in Mexico must end i'm wearing
the most sincere well wisher of the
country. There is a general agree
ment that some end must be put to
the present intolerable situation so
that the pacific development of the
peoples of America be assured.

convention the members of the league
are. of course. under no obligations.
and they are free to follow their own
individual preferences in regard to
the present candidates 70 rthe presi-

"As the two national officers of the
we personally intend to support
Charles f. Hughes. We believe that
Mr.. Hughes stands for the same great
principles of nonpartisan American
ism which inspired the formation of
the Roosevelt Nonpartisan League.
and we intend to use our influence to
enlist all the members of the league
