war coat" In the inspections several
days ago much favorable comment
was heard of the battery
The men Of the organization have
worked hard with recruits, and hardly
day went by that they did not get
two or more. Gradually the organiBa-
ton was built UP until 1t reached its
minimum. The organization came to
these. Capt. Wilson and Lieut.. Moor
head. fell most of the work Of getting
the battery in shape. Recently three
new officers have been added. Lieut..
the regular army assigned to the bat
terry for instruction purposes. and
Lieuts. Ladson and McGrath. Capt.
Hobbs yesterday reported the battery
at minimum strength, fully equipped
and ready to move to the border
1t is necessary to give the railroad
seventy-two hours notice Of a move
ment in order that the cars may be put
on the siding at Rosslyn. Owing to the
large amount Of heavy equipment
take long train of fat cars for its
transportation. 1t will require consid-
cradle time. to load this equipment
The men of the Battery B camp were
in a happy frame of mind when the
news was passed that Capt Hobbs had
sent a telegram reporting them ready
to move. When the news spread that
this organization probably would go
Saturday 1t promptly affected enlist
ments. as most Of the men who came
in wanted to go to this organisation.
This, it was pointed out. bears out the
statements of infantry officers that II
the Sd Infantry should actually receive
orders to move to the border enough
men would promptly enlist to insure
minimum strength. It is known that
there are men in the city who would be
willing to enlist for border service but
who are holding out for fear tho Sd
Regiment will remain at Fort Myer.
The orders still remain to send this
organization as soon as it reaches min
fmum strength. Only a few more men
are needed.

UNITS AT CAMP ORDWAY
READY FOR THE BORDER
Mastering Officer Reports Battery B
and Separate Battalion Recruits
Fully Equipped.

More troops at Camp Ordway, the
mobilization camp of the District of
Columbia National Guard. have been
reported ready to leave for the border.
Capt. Horace P. Hobbs, tho United
States Army mastering officer, yester-
day reported Battery B. Field Artillery.
commanded by Capt. George G. Wilson,
and 134 recruits and casuals of the 1st
Separate Battalion ready to leave. He
asked permission from the Department
of the East to send these troops out
Saturday. Battery B is fully equipped
and has the requisite number of men.
A reply to the telegram. which was
sent late yesterday -fternoon, is ex-
pected some time today. The Depart
ment Of the East probably will wire
Gen. Funston asking him where these
troops are to be sent. and on his reply
will depend the movement OF the bat
terry from this camp.
Capt. Hobbs supplemented the tele-
gram with a letter saying that it was
best to send the men of the LIST Sepa-
rate to join the main body of troops
now at Naco. because they would be
much better OF there than they are at
this camp and they would receive
much better training He also said it
would be better to send them with the
battery because there then would be
commissioned officer in charge.
Status Of Veterinarian.
At the same time he reported to the
Department of the East that the two
batteries Of field artillery had one vet
erinarian. Lieut.. Hodge, and asked
whether he should go to the front with
Battery B. He recommended that the
horses of the battery should remain
here with Battery A.
Battery B Is the newest f1eld artil-
lery organization in the District
militia It was organized last winter
and has been working hard to keep it's
organization recruited up. All of its
equipment is new, including the cloth
ing. Every piece is in prime condition
and the battery has just received its
