New York, July 19.-"Mars hath no

ten poet many years ago, and Cap
tain Edward Carson. commanding the
warriors of the Home Defense Lea
que of New Rochelle, N. Y, has
made the saying once more. Sweet
hearts who frequent the park about
the New Rochelle reservoir are not
to be disturbed. not so far as Cap
tain Carson has anything to say
about it.
The men were warned that their

II is said that Captain Carson could

GUARDS OF DISTRICT
READY FOR SERVICE
Few Men Will Be Unable to Pass
Physical Examination.

The District National Guard will lose
very few men as result Of the ex-
aminations which will be given by
army surgeons when many Of its units
not hitherto called into Federal serv-
ice are mustered for war duty July .,
according to its commander, Gen. Har-
vey.
Gen. Harvey explained that most of
the men have already been put through
several stiff physical tests by surgeons
in accordance with army standards,
and as a result there will be no such
large percentage of disqualificatiols
as occurred when the men were sent
to the Mexican border.
Gen. Harvey will command the To-
cal Guard until 1t is mustered into
service next Wednesday. AS to
whether he will continue to command
the organization will probably depend
on whether he Is senior in rank to GER
tain other briSadier generals in the
Guard whose commands will help fill
out the full division which IL is pro-
posed to send to Admission. Ala. The
District Guard does not constitute an
entire brigade at war strength, and
for that reason, Gen Harvey, who
holds that rank, did not accompany
the local troops to the Mexican bor-
der. II other Guard units are assigned

vey will likely retain command. But
