sion Major Loeser denied that he had

getting rid of Jews in his own com
pany.
Several witnesses testified that they
knew of discrimination on the part of
officers Of the national guard against
Jews. but Joseph kaufman. said TO have
been rejected by Major Loeser, testi-
fed that he knew of no discrimination
against himself.

From n, rhbun, Bureau ]

Washington, June 10. While many
members Of Congress are frank IN their
belief that the present move in Mexico
has its origin in politics, the President
will find little opposition to interven-
tion from either house If he decides to
use a firm hand in settling the Mexican
problem once for all.
There is evident an attitude OF reilet
among members Of both houses that
the policy Of watchful waiting ap-
parently is to be thrown overheard and
a show Of real force is to accompany
strong words 20 Carranza. Democratic

ordered into Mexico, the guard is not
supplied with sufficient trucks, wagons

Camp Needs Enormous.

When ;ae conference ended and the
officers hcd hurriedly departed Colonel
Ward gave out the following state
ment, the first issued since the Presl-
dent sent his call;
"The biggest task in the country in
connection with the mobilization Of the
national guard OF the United States Is
that falling TO Major General O'Ryan.
commanding the division Of New York
troops.
while most of the states are con
fronted with the task Of assembling
from 300 or 400 10 a couple OF thousand
officers and men. General Organ must
mobilize 10000 troops, including every
arm of the service infantry, field ar
tillery. cavalry, engineers, signal corps,
field hospitals, ambulance companies
field bakery and an armored motor bat
terry and wagon trains.
"To mobilize a force Of this strength
means the establishment Of a camp on
the basis of a model town. To Illus
trate the size of the problem, such
command. with its horses and mules, re-
ouires about 100000 gallons Of water
daily. This water must be potable.
The water problem alone involves driv-
ing wells, erecting tanks and about
seven miles OF piping. MS WORK is
now under way at Camp Whitman,
where there is one company of the
22d Corps of Engineers in charge Of
the work
"Some idea of the work involved in
establishing the mobilization camp NAV
be gathered from this table of the ar
ticles Of food which have been CON
tracted for to supply the force for two
weeks: 10000 pounds Of beef Us

UNUSUAL ACTIVITY
 IN TRADE CIRCLES

New York, July 22.-Dun's review today says: ...-
 Contrary to the usual experience at this season, there are many more points of activity than of dullness in the general situation. Business con- tinues remarkably full during ths period when it ordinarily shows the greatest shrinkage, current reports adding to the accumulation of su- perlatives with regard to trade. in dustry and transportation. While some important lines. notably steel and leather, are dull, foreign ,de- mands are again the overshadowing features, but it is not because of any lack of confidence that domestic buy ing has abated. Many interests here, having already covered their require ments well ahead, naturally proceeded more slowly in extending commit ments further and this spirit of con- servatism manifest throughout the country is most reassuring in it's bear ing on the futures. To a certain ex- tent. crop uncertainties are a cause for hesitancy, but, on the whole. agricul- ture progresses favorably. though re- cent storms at the South have been somewhat detrimental to cotton"
