TO ACCLIMATE EN-
Guards Introduction at Border
To Be Hardening Process.
BliStered Feet and Sunburned
Noses Are Initiation.

San Antonio, June 2S.-Blistered
feet and sunburned noses will be prev
alent among the national guardsmen
now under orders within two days af-
ter they reach the border. The harden
ing process which will make them eff
fective soldiers fit for any service not
only in Texas, but in Mexico, will be-
gin at once. 1t will continue until
they are fit to duplicate the marches
made by General Pershings men on
the trail of Francisco Villa. Unless
circumstances make it impossible
some part of each command will go
on the hike each day. The usual
method employed will be to send one
battalion of each regiment on hike
while the remaining companies do
guard duty and police the camp. The
next day these in turn will be on the
march. These marches will be made
under conditions such as obtain on &C
tive campaign as nearly as possible.
The guardSmen probably will be start
ed with a march of five miles, carry
ing full kit and the regulation amount
of ammunition. The distance will be
increased as the men improve in con-
dition until they are able to cover
thirty miles a day and finish fresh.
Northern Back Will Feel 1t.
Equal attention will be paid to con-
ditioning the cavalry and artillery
horses and the pack mules, while the
civilian truck drivers now handling
the big motor transport units Will put
their machines to every test that
might be encountered in time of war.
Particular care will be taken in con-
ditioning the men from northern states
as they probably will feel acutely the
terrific heat of the Texas border until
acclimated. The Texas sun, however,
is guaranteed to produce q tan which
will be the envy of any vacationist re-
turning from the seashore or the
mountains
The Illinois and Wisconsin troops
will be wrapped in luxury compared
to the other guardsmen if, as is prob
able, they are Quartered near the
camp at Fort Sam Houston now being
used as military training camp. The
civilian camp will end June 80 The
camp is a model one equipped with
everything known to military science
for the health and comfort of the men
Rcinforcements to Eagle Pass.
Conditions at Piedras Negras, op-
posite Eagle Pass are being closely

In addition to three batteries of field

last night there are two regiments of
infantry and one battery of field ar
tillery. 1T is known that several large
national guard units will be shipped
through to Eagle Pass at once
Arrangements are being made today

court that no witness would be called
by the defense but that the arguments
of counsel would be supplemented by
a statement from the prisoner In
reference to the decision of Easements
counsel not to call any witnesses. Mr..
Doyle said:
'Inasmuch as this trial affects not
only the life of Sir Roger Easement
but also the aspirations of the Irish
nation, it has been deemed advisable
rot to call any witnesses in this juris
diction.''
The prosecution rested it's case sud
denly and the attorney general an

There was a stir in the court room
as the green emblem of the rebels was
spread out in the center of the room
and all eyes turned toward the pri-
soner. He shifted uneasily in his seat
and then leaned back with folded
arms smiling nervously as he gazed at
the flag. Alexander Sullivan, chief
counsel for the defense volunteered the
information to the court that the en-
blem on the flag was that of the city
of Limerick.
Mr.. Sullivan cross mined the

AT PEACE WITH TAFT?
Rumors Afloat. That Roosevelt and
His Successor Will Enter Truce.

New York, June 2S.-Rumors of a
reconciliation in the near future be-
tween Theodore Roosevelt and Will
lam H. Taft are in circulation at the
Hughes headquarters in the Hotel AS
tor.
The suggestion came close upon the
heels of news that the colonel and the
Republican presidential candidate will
dine together at the Aston at 1880 this
evening, which preceded the an
nouncement that William r. Wilcox,
former chairman of the public SER
vice commission, had been selected as
the Republican national chairman.
Plans are already under considera-
ton for sending out three special
trains with the opening of the cam
paign in the fall, bringing, respec-
lively, Hughes, Roosevelt and Taft to
stump the nation for the ticket. If,
in advance of this stupendous starring
tour, it was observed Hughes, the
pacificator, could bring Taft and
Roosevelt together at a harmony din
ner, the effect would be incalculable
upon the party throughout the coun-
try.

Ell Paso, Texas. June 2S.-Gen.
Jacinto B. Trevino, the Mexican COM

teed civilized treatment for the 25
American prisoners taken in the Car

The message was a reply to a COM

execute the Americans. The answer
follows:
Chihuahua, Mex, June 81, 1916
With pain, 1 have taken notice of the
news published that the American
prisoners taken at Carrizal will be ex-
ecuted. We know perfectly the treaties
of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed in the
year 1s4S, in which, among other
things, is stipulated the treatment that
should be accorded prisoners of war.
Therefore, you may be assured that
we know how to respect the laws and
treaties and if anyone should fail in
their compliance it will not be our
selves. You may make this public in
any way you desire.
