WASHINGTON. D. c., June %.
= The first 5000 national
guardsmen to be mustered into
service in the western depart
ment, along with the first 5000
in the central department, are un-
der orders from the war depart
ment today for movement to the
border.
Secretary of War Baker this
afternoon ordered every depart
ment commander to send the mil
tia to the border as rapidly as
they can be equipped.
Not Before Monday.
The first militia to move will
probably be the New York or
Oregon troops. Others likely to
follow will be Indiana, illinois
and Wisconsin.
A high official said today he
did not believe any forces would
start before Monday.
Orders have ben sent to Major
General Leonard Wood, eastern
commander; Thomas Barry Of the
central department, and j. Frank
lin Bell of the western depart
ment.
They are requested TO notify
General Funston when each unit
completes muster.
Funston will then indicate
where he wants the forces sent
and arrange for transportation
without further instructions from
Washington.
Bell at Seattle.
Gen. Bell of San Francisco
commander of the western de-
partment, will select the first
units to qualify, regardless Of the
service to which they belong.
He arrived at Seattle at S:15.
o'clock today from San Francis
co. -
No official announcement rela-
tive to the purpose Of his visit
had been made shortly after his
arrival, but it is presumed that
he will confer with Adjasant Gen.

Pageant Organizer Goes to Z
Stadium In Ambulance; Directs
Performance from Her Couch

Just as the performers began
to arrive for ''Nedra,' the pa

in dress.
He is a widower and the faith
er of two children, with whom he
has kept in constant correspond
ence during the long months of
his campaign. They are in the
care of his sister, Sara Obregon
a well known poetess in Mexico.
Fifteen years ago Oregon
invented an agricultural ma
chine which was patented in
the United States and sold
to an American concern.
With the money he obtained
he established small ma-
chine shop to which he de-
voted his spare time while
not labOring In the fields. q.
Obregon entered the revolution
with reluctance. While Madero
was warning against Gen. Diaz in
western Mexico, much of the time
in Sonora, Obregon remained on
his plantation, at peace with both
factions.
When OroZco, now dead, turn
ed against Madero and threatened
that portion of Sonora near Obre-
CONS home, Oregon decided to
take the field. He entered the
revolution quietly, armed and or
ganized battalion of 400 Yaquis
and pledged his support to
Madero.
After finishing Orozco, Obre-
gon returned to his farm, but
later aligned himself with Car
rama in the latter's fight against
Huerta, who sought in vain to
buy off" the man from Sonora.

hUJV. Gen. MhuFlCc tbOiui'-
son is going to knock the
Stats out of the passive at
titude, taken by many Taco
mans towards recruiting.
In weeks time only 10 men
have been recruited in this city.
This is considered nothing
short of a disgrace, according to
Gen. Thompson's aide, Lieut.. w.
w. Smith, of Seattle, who arriv-
ed in Tacoma today 10 recruit
men for all branches of .he guard.
Lieut.. Smith is going to start
a campaign which will be similar
to Kitchener's in England. He
says he will have so men by to-
morrow night or know the rea-
son why.
New recruiting quarters have
been located at 1905 Pacific ave.
This place will be covered with
signs urging the young men not
to let Seattle beat Tacoma"
Enlist today tomorrow may
be too late" and similar appeals
will be tackled on automobiles
and hauled through the Tacoma
streets, according to Lieut.. Smith.
I'VE will have band on the
job all of the time.
II intend to speak in all of the
theaters and IL the men don't
come on their own accord, we'll
draft them," says he.
"PeOple don't realize the
seriousness Of the situation,
Their government needs
them.
Patriotism! Why, they
don't know what patriotism
means. Look at Seattle.
More than 10000 persons
marched in a preparedness
parade. Yet only $50 men
were recruited i'm that city.
Look at this Business Mems
Preparedness league and the Lee
gion of Honor. How many of
them have enlisted?"
Lieut.. Cronander, of troop b,
is still hunting for more men for
the troop. He will remain at the
recruiting station. First Lieut..
Cramer after spending his first
night in camp, came back to Ia
coma to complete the disposition
of contracts, with the greatest
praise for the troopers.

an enemys country and the deadly reality Of
war
Everybody was busy getting settled yes
terday afternoon. Beds had just been issued,
and men wandered around with the limp,
white ticks trailing emptiy on the grass, or
dragged them, swollen with straw, into the
low tent doors.
A boy in khaki washed pots and pans
awkwardy behind the unfinished cook-house,
another blundered around with a mammoth
coffee-pot; and third fed hungry little
sheet-iron cook stove with freshly chopped
wood.
The company street" basked peacefully
in the sunshine. The tawny grass underfoot,
the khaki tents on either side and the uni
forms of the men were all the same color.
There was a pleasant smell of warm earth,
