No Mobilization Orders Re-
ceived by 23d, 47th or
1st Cavalry
Below War Strength
Men Are Ready for Call, OFF,
GERS Say, and Can Be
Moved Rapidly

Hundreds OF members Of the 23d and
47th Infantry and lst Cavalry regi-
ment, Of Brooklyn read in last nights
newspapers that their commands had
been ordered to mobilize. All made
su.ed 20 the armories, where they dis
covered that no mobilization orders
had been received After waiting until
nearly midnight the men went home.
Some OF the officers stayed later, on
the faint chance that orders might stu
come.
Although Charles r. Coffin, adj utant
Of the 4Tth. asserted that the regiment
would be ready for anything within six
hours after mobilization orders came,
there was some evidence TO the con.
trary. In the first place, the command
Of the regiment is unsettled.
Colonel Ernest L. Jannicky has APP
nlied for transfer to the reserve list
Of National Guard officers, and Major
Mortimer d. Bryant, Of the LIST Cavalry,
has been nominated to the command,
but no official action has been taken
or application or nomination. Major
Bryant is out of the city.
Instead OF its war strength compile
m,ut OF 800 men. the 41th has only
about goo men and machine gun com
psny. The machine gun company,
which was formed less than three
months ago, has neither guns nor auto
mobiles, nor have the men had any OPP
portunity TO fhmiliarize themselves
With the weapon they are TO use. The
company commander. Captain Charles
II. Nav, has been Informed that four
o,ns erd six automobiles are on the
wsv.
Six weeks ago Captain W. II. Eldred
and Lieutenant Hs.lett, of Company l.,
resigned and since then the company
mas been under the command OF ITS
first sergeant. Il is without &C 1mis-
stoned officers.
The 500 men OF the Attn who has
tened TO the armory last night were op-
timistic, however, expressing their en-
thusiastic conviction that they would
be called upon and would give a good
account OF themselves.
At the armory OF the 23d Regiment,
which has about 1000 men, nearly 500
showed up. Colonel Frank II. Norton
said that his command would be ready
within twenty-four hours of the re-
CENT of a mobilization order.
Only about 100 men appeared at the
armory OF the 1st Cavalry. That organ
ization was one OF the last to return
from the border, and several OF it's
members expressed the belief that it
would not be called out again so soon.
Its commander, Colonel Charles !. De
Bevoise, remained in his Office until
midnight waiting for instructions.
