the first since leaving their native soil
The arrangement to allow the Vir-

about through a telegram from Cap

Behrman. the Association of Com
merce. Board of Trade and other bodies
Immediately action was taken. with
the result that the Nirginians were

The men divided into two squads to

crowds going to Bchrman Gymnasium
and Young MEMS Club because of the
immense size of their tanks The men
enjoyed their short furloueh from the
train. and many of them made hurried
trips TO postcard stores. and as re-
suit Virginia will be flooded with pic
lures of New Orleans scenes. The COM
ing of the guardsmen at this time was
surprising. in view of the supposed
halt in American mobilizat ton. caused
by the last exchange of notes between
President Wilson and Carranza.

DISCHARGE GUARDSMEN
WITH DEPENDENT FAMILIES

On tho other hand. material
diminution of National Guard forces
for border duty was in prospect as n
result of Secretary Bakers order au-
thorizing discharge from service of
those guardsmen with dependent
families.
The series of conferences between
Counselor Polk. of the State Depart
ment, and Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican
AMBASSADOR designate. for which the
note doubtless prepares the way. may
extend beyond the question of protect
ing the border against future bandit
raids. and go into the sore need of
the Carranza government for financial
support. This possibility created con-
siderable interest among administra-
ton officials and diplomats to-day. 1t
was regarded as an indication that the
United States wishes to assist the
neiGhbor republic to bring order out
of its internal turmoil.
