Especial to The Reformer.) J

CAMP GOVERNOR GATES, July II.
In spite of the fact that Mai. Frank
Tompkins of the 18th United States
cavalry, who was wounded at Column
bus and again at Parral, has arrived
at the camp to act as instructor to the
cavalry, orders have been received
from the war department to transfer
the cavalry to the infantry
This transfer means the Quitting of
the cavalrvmen with infantry equip
ment, but there is plenty Of equipment
on hand and in few days the entire
camp of recruits can be started for
the border.
The new government regulations re-
qulre, III addition to the requisite bat
tahons of four companies each, a
headquarters company, a supply com
pany and a machine gun company. Bv
the transfer of the cavalry recruits to
the lst regiment of infantry the in
fantry branch is Immediately brought
up to almost maximum war strength
and in addition has the nucleus Of the
other three companies now required.
Everyone here expects to get start
ed for the border in few davs, and
although there are many among the
cavalry recruits and especially among
the Norwich troop who are disap,
pointed at being transferred to the in
fantry, the fact that it means an ear
lier start for the border aileviates
somewhat the disappointment.
Unless the Vermont troops now on
duty III Texas are sent home before
the fall elections, or unless the feder-
al government makes some special pro-
vision the men now in the government
military service viii be unable to
vote.
Generally speaking, no state has
made provisions for the voting of its
citizens who happen to be outside its
territorial limits, although recently
one or two have begun TO take up the
question.
In some of the states at the time of
the Spanish-American war provisions
were made permitting the men to vote
While IN the service of the federal or
state governments when state Of war
exists. At present no state Of war
exists, and should none EXIST this fall
and the troops still be on border pa
troll duty there will be many who can
not vote who would do so if thev were
in their home towns.
Attorney General Herbert G. Barber
said this morning that he had been
unable to find am provision in the
state statutes that would enable the
men to vote unless they were in the

MAIL TO U. s. BY zEpPELINs.
Germany Building Airships 10 Break
British Embargo.

Chicago. Sept. Co. Two sdouh1es
Zeppelins, each with a carrying
capacity Of sixty tons. have been eDn-
structed in Germany to carry mali bc-
tween Berlin and the United States In
seventy-two hours, according, to Morris
Epstein, who returned to Chicago
yesterday after several months passed
In Europe. Mr.. Epstein said he had
seen both the giant aircraft, ono
christened Amerika and the other
Deutschland.
The new merchant Zeppelins are
700 feet long and unarmed," Mr.. Ep-
stein explained. THE carriage re-
sembles the hull OF a ship and is
toated by two huge gas bags instead
of one single bag, as in the case Of the
Zeppelins now in use. The Zeppelins,
which will carry mail only. are
scheduled to make the trip in seventy
two hours.
Charge Extra Postage.
In Germany the regular postage
and mark additional win be charged
on all mail for the United States. In
the United States, postage to Germany
on these ships will be the regular 2
cents and 25 cents additional. Each
ship can carry sixty tons of mail.
"As for hostile aeroplanes, the ships
can rise to an altitude higher than any
so far reached by heavier than air ma
chimes Once inside the three-mile
limit on the Atlantic coast OF the
United States. the Zeppelins will de-
scend and come in on the water, to
meet the requirements Of our statutes.
According to Mr.. Epstein. diplomatic
circles in Berlin believe that Eric Won
Falkenhayn, the recently removed chief
of the general staff, Is slated to succeed
Won Bethmann- Hollweg as imperial
chancellor.
Why Change Was Made.
"Ohical Germany feels that Won
Bethmann- Hollweg is too weak and
open to meet the tricky policies of Eng
land Mr.. Epstein said. For this rea-
son Won Hindenburg. who is idolized by
the army and the people. was made
chief of the general staff. and Won Fal-
kenhayn is being trained to succeed the
present chancellor.
People in the United States appear
to be surprised by the appointment Of

that he was going to DC appointed.
Everybody has faith in the army.
and the soldiers talked with, altho
they are tired of the war and ready to
welcome peace are determined to fight

Seventy million Germans are taxing
their brains every day to help the faith
erland.
Many Men Available.
"As to military matters, nobody but
the general staff knows how many SOL
diers Germany has in the field. So far
nobody under 10 has been sent to the
front. All under 10 are being held in
reserve in the cities: and think it Is
safe to say that there are as many men
available for service as there are now
in the field. .
