Practice opening the eyes under wa

conditions there is much to be seen and

priceless value. 1t is one of the attri.

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

because they lack a few recruits to

The order sends the troops from
Kentucky, Ohio and Vermont to tho
border as soon as transportation can
be arranged for them and will move all
tho others including those from North

decided on their action because tho
