SUPREME COMMANDER FOR
UNITED STATES SOLDIERS
State GuQrdsmen Win
Not Lose Their Votes
If Troops Stay in the Field until
Fall Will Still Be Allowed
to Vote.

If the West Virginia National
Guard stays in the field all summer
and into the fall, its members will
have an opportunity to do something
none of West Virginias soldiers In
the past have ever done-vote at
state and national elections and not
have their right of vote questioned.
Volunteers from this state in the
Civil war voted while on the bat
tlefelds and In the camps Of the
South, but there has always been a
question as to whether or not the
voting was legal and whether the
votes as recorded should have been
counted. In the Spanish-American
war the troops who were out of the
state at the fall election of 1898 were
not given a chance to vote for the
reason that there was no law on the
statute books which gave them the
right to do so and prescribed the pro-
Cedure.
But with the volunteers of 1916
matters are different. There is law
which provides that the ballots Of
soldiers shall be taken, and their
right to vote will not be questioned.
Under a strict Interpretation of the
act the soldiers would have to make
application to the clerk Of the coun-
ty in which they reside for the bal
lot, but it is figured by state officials
that inasmuch as there will be SO
many soldiers from various counties,
the commanding officer or someone
in authority can make application for
his entire company.

err similar positions which must be
overwhelmed if the French and
British are to continue to push for
ward 49,,
The artillery, it is true, demolish-
ed most of the defense works, but
the Germans remain in dugouts dur
ing bombardments and come out
with machine guns to meet the at
tackers. Consequently much hand TO
hand fighting occurs. Furthermore
there are counter attacks to be re-
pulsed.
Other Troops Not Inactive.
Meanwhile the troops on the north
ern end of the western front are not
inactive. Off the Belgian coast Brit
ish monitors are throwing shells
across the sand dunes to keep the
Germans in their trenches.
The Belgians, who recently took
over another stretch of the front,
keep up steady bombardment.
With the heavy gunfire and raids OF
infantry, the Germans are kept busy
along the whole line and threatened
attacks at every point warn them
against sending re-enforcements to
the Solnme region.

Is under Consideration by the
War Department Of the
United States.
TO PROM 0TE PERSHING
Major General Wood May Be-
come Major General Of
Border Troops.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-With more
than 10000 troops assembling along
the Mexican border th2 war depart
ment Monday took steps 10 decen-
tralize direct administration Of the L.
800 mile frontier in the interest Of
efficiency and probably to pave the
way for the appointment OF supreme
commander to coordinate all military
activities on the International limo and
in Mexico.
The border formerly in the south
ern department from the gulf Of Mex
leo to southern California now Is di-
vlded into three military departments
commanded by Major General Freder-
lex Funston, Dr:gadler General ]. j..
Pershing and Brigadier General j..
Franklin Bell.
Funston Relieved.
The war Department said that the
new orders which automatically re-
lieve General Funston of supreme
command on the border and the
enormous responsibilities that have
crowded upon him. had no signiti-
canoe as preparing for war There
was no formal announcement regard
ing the selection Of senior major
general for commander in chief OF
the border guard and field forces.
There are indications that Major Cen
eral Leonard Wood, former chief OF
staff and now commanding the de-
partment Of the East, is being consld-
cred in this connection.
Another probable change Indicated
by the new order is the promotion for
one additional major general and
it is believed General Pershing will
be given this in recognition Of his
services in pursuit Of the Columbus
bandits.
Pending the appointment Of an off,
Ger to supreme command the func-
lions OF the three departments will be
co-ordained through the war depart
ment.
Not to Withdraw.
The assignment of General Pershing
to the command Of the department Of
New Mexico, it was stated, does not
mean that the expendition into Mexico
is to be withdrawn of that General
Pershing himself will return to direct
the affairs of the department from FL
Paso, his new headquarters. 1t is as
sumed that he will remain in the field,
for the present at least. If he is pro-
NOTED a brigade commander probably
will be sent to relieve him in Mexico
unless developments should necessi-
tate the sending of large number
Of additional troops across the bor-
der
Brigadier General George Bell, Jr,
will remain in direct command Of the
Ell Paso district,
Army officers explained that the
problem of supplying the expedition
in Mexico has become more and more
difficult. The rainy season is due, but
there has been no rain for weeks and
the country about General Pershing's
camp has been stripped Of the last
forage for his animals. The war de-
partment is without direct information
as to the expeditionary forces, the
matter having been arranged between
Generals PershIng and Funston.
