and the regular Army as we'll,
either to training camps or en-
barkation points. Some slight
conception of what this problem
means may be deducted from
the fact that in the National Ar
my movement alone the railroads
have have had to prepare special
schedules covering the 1853
towns and cities designated by
the Provost Marshal General, as
the points of local concentration
from which the recruits of the
new National Army proceed to
the environments. In addition
the special train movements have
had to be so directed as to pre-
vent interruption to the regular
passenger service. The longest
haul made in the new National
Army movement to date was
that of the special train which
moved the citizen soldiers from
Yuma, Arizona to Fort Riley,
Kansas a distance of 1,514 miles.
This trip occupied forty-eight
hours. The shortest distance
travelled by an unit of the new
National Army was that of the
District of Columbia unit to
Camp Mead in Maryland a trip
of less than twenty-five miles.
Practically all of the National
Guard movements to date have
beed of great length, the longest
one was that made by a battalion
of San Francisco engineers from
San Francisco to a point on the
Atlantic coast. This battalion
included SOC men and 18 officers.
They occupied a special train
comprising one standard sleeper
nine tourist sleepers, one bag
gage car, two kitchen cars and
three box cars. Their train
left San Francisco at 4 p. m. on
Sept. 1st and arrived at destina-
ton at 10:15 a. M, Sept. 9th.
twenty-five per cent of the
men in the National Army or ap-
proximately $4,000 are included
IN the division that will be en-
trained for environments from
now until October 7th.D 1t is ex-
pected that the balance of the
citizen soldiers will be entrained
beginning October 18th. The
railroads have taken every step
to safeguard the lives that the
government has entrusted to
them and to complete the troop
movement without delay and al
so without interfering with the
abnormal amount of commercial
traffic that the war has produced.
For obvious reasons it would not
be wise to div1lge in detail the
plans which have been followed
in moving the men to their vari
Gus cantonments and embarka
ton points, sufficient to say thai
the movement is progressing
smoothly and to the complete sat
isfaction of the government.

MISS BJURSTEDT NOT
DISGRACED BY DEFEAT

\ NEW YORK, March 26.-The defeat
of Miss Molla Bjurstedt by Mrs. May
Sutton Bundy is one thing that should
add, if anything can, to the play of the
marvellous Norwegian women tennis
crack. Mrs. Bundy's style of play has
held her over every other American
woman for some years. She has beat
en- the best other countries have pro-
duced, and she had once before forced
Miss Bjurstedt to bow to her proves.
The driving, smashing style Of play
that Mrs. Bundy always has combined
with an uncanny ability to hit the wee
wee spots of the courts made it al
uncertain match for the Norwegian
woman before she went west to play
the former American and English w0-
man champions.
Miss Bjurstedt was helpless before
the service smashes of her Pacific
Coast opponent. She drives hard her
self but she was unable to meet her
own style of play The defeat should
be one thing to teach her that others
can play the driving kind of tennis
equally as well as she 1t probably
will point out to her the wisdom CT
learning to combat that kind of tennis.
The performance of Miss Bjurstedt
in the past have shown that she learns
quickly to meet any kind of tennis.
Her next meeting with Mrs. Bundy, if
ever there is one, should be productive
of some great strategy.

JAPAN HOPES TO SOLVE
BIG EMIGRATION PROBLEM

TOXIC, March 26.-With the hope
immigration problem between the
United States and Japan, new plan
Of educating Japanese emigrants in a
model farm colony near Seattle, Wash
ington will be started here next Mon
day. Beginning then a group of jap
aIese will be sent every year to work
on the model colony acres.
These emigrants will be graduates of
the Kanagawa Middle school, a pri-
vate institution of which Mr.. Sumiwu
Hattori is principal. He is the eldest
son of the late Ayawo Hattori. who
worked for friendship between Japan
and America until his death in the
United States several years ago.
He held the opinion that the best
way to unravel the immigration tan
gle between the two countries was to
raise the standard of japanese in the
United States. He died before he
could realize this idea, which has now
been taken up by his son, the princi-
pie of the Middle school.
The land near Seattle where these
educated immigrants will work was
bought for this purpose through the eff
fcrts of Masijiro FurUya, prominent
Japanese merchant in the Washington
city.
The Japanese government, which en-
forces the gentlemen's agreement with
the United States, has not yet official
ly approved the plan, but it is not
expected TO meet with objection if the
emigrants are really educated.

SAVANNAH VOLUNTEER GUARDS
EXPECTING CALL TO DUTY

SAVANNAH, Ga, March 26.-What
will you do for Savannah? That is the
question that is being asked all the
young men of Savannah nowadays by
members of the Savannah Volunteer
Guards, who are daily expecting to be
ordered to Fort Screven to man the
big funs and prepare to defend the
city against invasion.
If an alien fleet should appear off
Tybee Savannah would be at the
mercy of the guns of the enemy ex-
cept for the trained coast artillerymen
at Fort Screven and the volunteer
unit at Savannah. The Guards are
now recruiting to maximum strength
in preparation for eventualities.
A coast artilleryman in time of war
must be above the average type CT
man. A variation in the calculation
of hairs breadth in the path of a
shell would be likely to be disastrous.
The Guards have recently received
several tons of new equipment, which
is taken to mean that the war depart
ment is preparing to man Fort Screw
en- with the volunteers.
