National Guard Camp, Pawnee
Flats, Fort Riley, Kan, June 90
One regiment may leave mobilization
camp Friday That statement was
made this morning by regular army
officers. They control affairs at this
time.
OF course the officer in charge at
Fort Riley might receive peremptory
order from the secretary of war to
cntrain the troops Immediately and
this order would be obeyed although
officers doubted if the secretary would
have power to issue such an order. The
law as it stands. officers declared, de-
mands that the muster roles be filled
out and the men mustered in before
they can be removed from the state.
The governor cannot send the troops
out of the state and the government
has no right to issue a similar order,
according to information given out to-
day. Then, too, there is the physical
examination of the men to be taken
into consideration. 1t takes from fif-
teen to twenty minutes to examine
each man. There were 2,626 privates
and non-comm iSsioned officers and
102 commissioned officers in camp
Sunday night. About twenty medical
corps officers are here to conduct the
examinations.
Mastering Men In
Nor is the task of filling out the
muster roles a light one. A complete
description of each man is taken in
addition to a history of his family
from Adam down" to the present
day. The actual mastering and swear
ing of allegiance to the United States
government, consumes less time than
any other detail.
The mastering is proceeding. slowly.
it seems to the uninitiated- Yet army
officers at Fort Riley are vehement in
their insistence that it is progressing
with all possible expediency.
Meantime, war equipment for two
complete regiments has been ordered.
Some of it is now on its way to camp,
the regular officers declare. The gov
erument is required to furnish equip

menC necessary TO increase the ma
tional guard from peace to war
strength. The peace strength of the
average infantry company is 65 men
and war strength is $50.
Officers Refuse to Guess
National guard officers are making
no conjecture as to the time of en-
trainment. The guard is ready to go
at any moment 1t all lies in the
government hands. While the reg
uIar officers are busy mastering the
men, guard officers are doing every
thing possible to comply with a num-
Der of telegraph requests from the
secretary of war to expedite arrange
ments for instant entralnment.
Call in Recruiting Officers.
Orders were telegraphed to all re-
cruiting officers Sunday to report at
mobilization camp. A ma jority of the
officers had arrived this morning. Ad-
jutant General Martin announced the
receipt of such an order did not in
dicate recruiting would cease. Rather
it indicated recruiting squads would
be sent to towns throughout the state
instead of in cities where companies
have been formed.
Thousands from all over the state.
mothers, wives and sweethearts, were
in the camp Sunday. The blistering
sun didn't detract an iota from their
enthusiasm. Nor were the Kansas
boys a bit sorry to see them
Parade Before Sweethcarts.
The gayly plumed pheasants in
Gage park never paraded with greater
pride than did the Kansas youths
Sunday before their wives mothers
and sweethearts. They hazed each
other, played baseball, held mock

to the music of the band, displayed
their teEts with pride, pointed out
their officers and never tired of ex-
planning the thousand and one details
of the camp
It was not a serious camp. True, a
soldier with a baby in his arms and
tired wife by his side would tramp
up the hot, dusty camp streets with a
set look on his face. But such in
stances were rare.
The action of congress on a bill tc
force married men from the service is
creating no little concern. In Battery
A alone there are thirty .len with de-
| pendants on their hands, according to
a statement made by a battery officer
AS the blistering sun receded the
youths and their sweethearts sought
where they could view the camp and
the Kaw in the valley below just
across the railroad tracks from the
camp. They didn't appear to desire
company then and as the night shad-
ows grew heavier. their forms could
be seen dinly on the hiIltops.

Events have shown that the Pro-
gressive party in 1912 offered the only

The results of the terrible world
war of the past two years have now
made it evident to all who are willing
to see, that in this country there mus+
be spiritual and industrial prepared
ness along the lines Of efficiency, of
loyal service to the nation, and of
practical application or the precept
that each man must be his brothers
keeper"
Sooner or LATER the national prin-
ciples championed by the Progress
sives of 1912 must. in their general
effect, be embodied in the structure of
our national existence"
Our loyalty is to the fact, to- the
principle. to the ideal, and not merely
to the name. and least of all to the
party name
The Progressive movement has
been given an incalculable impetus by
what the Progressive party has done"
Much has been accomplished in
derstanding of the problems of social
and industrial welfare"
But we are faced by the fact that
as things actually are, the Progressive
| national organization no longer offers
the means whereby we can make these
convictions effective in our national
life"
Under such circumstances our duty
| is to do the best we can, and not to
sulk because our leadership is re-
jected."

the best possible merely because the
people have not put us in the position

Mr.. Hughes meets the conditions set
forth in the statement or the Progress
sive national committee, issued last
January. and in my own statements. u
Under existing conditions, the

WHO CROSSED BORDER.
On Assurances That Bandits Have
Been Dispersed IL 10 Understood
American Troops Will be
Speedily Withdrawn.

FL Paso, Transformed Alvaro OBJ
RECON, Mexican minister of war, on
Wednesday issued a statement in
which he said:
las result Of the conference with
General Scott the atmosphere seems
now completely cleared up. There is
a much better feeling between Amer
leans and Mexicans and all tension
seems vanished.
An agreement has not been reach
ed, but everything is progressing ia,
Vorably and have the highest hopes
that matters will reach a successful
elimination"
1t was reported on good authority
that General Obregon had received
assurances that the terms of the ten
tative agreement would be acceptable
to General Carranza.
Mexican military men believe that
the withdrawal of the American troops
from Mexico will take place in about
two months, 1t is said American Off
GERS will make no comment on the sub.
ject, however.
The Mexicans say that in view of
the dispositions to be made by General
AlVaro Obregon, in cooperating under
the tentative agreement made with
General Hugh l.. Scott, the hunting
down of the bandit groups in Chihua
hua and Durango can scarcely take
more than that period of time.
On assurances from General Car.

troops will attain full speed and it will

nounced Thursday night that the ten.
tative agreement between General
Scott and General Obregon covering
the future operations of the American
and Mexican military forces in Mexi
co provides "a basis of cooperation
which promises to prevent misunder-
standings and strengthens the cordial
relations of the two republics"
Although there was no formal an
nouncement of the action, notification
that the Scott Obregon agreement is
acceptable to the American govern
ment was telegraphed to General Scott
at Ell Paso by Secretary Baker
General Scott is authorized to ex-
change formal acceptances with Cen
eral Obregon as soon as the latter
has obtained the approval of General
Carranza.
1t is expected President Wilson
would issue formal statement re-
garding the agreement as soon as
word comes that General Carranza
has approved it. No official outline
of the plan was available, but it is
known that in substance it provides
