Put Into National Guard to
Serve Out Unexpired Time
of Enlistment.
ALL GET POSITIONS BACK
Drills To Be Resumed Under
Captain Terry's Direction
on January is.

The Signal Corps Company OF the
District militia, which distinguished
itself by five months service on the
Mexican border, has been mustered
out of the Federal service. Contrary
to the belief of some of the wig
waggers, they were not mustered
back into civil life, but into the ma
tional guard of the District of Co
lumbia. All OF them must serve the
unexpired time of their present en-
listments, and are therefore subject
to call for service until then.
There was qualification among the
Signal Corps members over the fact
that all of them were given the posi-
tions in the Government and in pri-
waite offices. shops, and factories
which they left when they responded
to the call to the colors last June.
None of the men lost their jobs, while
several were givep promotions.
Bring Horses From Border.
The company brought back thirty
two horses from the border, and five
members OF the command have been
employed at a salary of $45 a month
to take care OF the mounts. groom
ing and exercising them daily, as
was done at Warren and Nogales,
Arizona. These horses, 1t is under
stood. will remain the permanent
property OF the local signal corps.
Lieut.. George'M NJ. Lands, assisted by
Quartermaster Sergeant II. l.. p.
Morris, is checking up the property
issued to the command by the Federal
Government last summer. This prop
erty, uniforms, revolvers, wire reels.
twenty miles of copper wire.
and a great variety of instruments
used as means of communication in
the field, will be turned back to the
NATIONAL Guard of the District of
Columbia and then reissued to the
signal corps. Major Stewart, of the
War Department, is experimenting
the checking up of the property.
Drills To BE Resumed.
All of the signal corps members
underwent a physical examination by
Lieutenant Mcconnell, of the Medical
Reserve Corps, before being mustered
out. The Government requires this
examination to safeguard itself
against false claims for pensions for
disabilities incurred in the service.
Drills will be resumed by the signal
corps under the direction of Capt.
oliver Terry on January 16. After
that drills will be held each week.
Captain Terry hopes to be able to
arrange drills and maneuvers during
daylight hours so his men can use the
thirty-two horses and keep the ami
mails trained to their duties.

garded by scientists as the most beau,
tiful lot or mineral specimens ever
assembled by one man. the collection
representing the lifework OF the late
EIwood 2. Hancock, of this city, has
been purchased by Harvard Uni

The specimens owe their beauty to
the manner in which the collector
worked out the natural crystals on
the lace of the ore. He was a talented
artist and cabinet carver, and with
infinite patience he separated each
crystal from it's neighbor and the
surrounding rock.

The soldiers wrote them in when they

commissioners by Attorney General Brown.

STICKERS FOR WARE VOTES
Dispatches from Camp Meade today say
II became apparent that the soldiers vote
at Camp Meade for the Town Meeting can
dldates is not so large as the early re-
turns would indicate.
Nothing resembling a total tabulation is
available there, for returns were made by
individual companies to the civilian cleo
tlon commissioners The latter carried the
sealed returns direct to Philadelphia and
other counties, where the vote will be
counted
The Camp Meade vote may be tabulated
\ today by the county commissioners. No
: records were kept by the election judges in
the various barracks and it may be several
Gays before complete returns are available.
AS fast as the election judges counted the
vote the result was posted in record book,
and this, together with the ballots, was
handed over to the commissioners. The
latter made no effort to aid the newspaper
men In their work of gathering returns, but
hurried out of camp.
AS matters stand today, the only records
oI the election are in the hands of the cleo
uoh commissioners appointed by Governor
bruinoaugh' According to the law under
winch the soldier vote was taken, these
commissioners must make their returns to
election officials of counties which figured in
the election.
The commissioner who handled the vote
OF the Sl5th Infantry, a Philadelphia unit

make his returns to the Phlladelphis

Both sides are claiming victory in the
vote on the prohibition amendment, l.. H.
Gibson "wet" campaign marhager, claimed
the state by a majority of from $4,000 to
$4,000. ]. A. Fry, dry" manager, insisted
that the State would go dry" by safe
majority
with fewer than 500 precincts missing
late this afternoon the vets have an appa-
rent majority Of less than 10000. Returns
from the larger rural counties cut into the
wet margin very rapidly, and the drys de-
clared they had n good chance to overcome
the adverse vote in the cities.
There was CONSERVATION in the dry camp,
however when a dispatch came from Gin
cinnnati this afternoon announcing mis-
take in the vote Of Hamilton County. The
dispatch asserted that the dry vote in the
county would be reduced by 5000 The cor
rected vote in Hamilton, with twelve pre-
cincts missing. is given as: For prohibit
ton, 26,250 against SO,42O.
This change in the Hamilton County
total would put the vets ahead by more
than 10000 and would probably decide the
election.
Unofficial figures given out by the Anti
Saloon League show dry majority of 6O9,
with 416 precincts missing, all in rural
counties.
The Ohio soldier vote may figure prom
inenty i'm the final counting. If complete
returns show a majority on either sideNto
be less than the Sammees' vote a contest
may ensue--either side attacking the
legality of the soldier vote.
Complete prohibition returns from Ham
ilton County (CincinnatD give the vets a
majority of 45,1S0-23,664 less than the wei
majority of 1915. In Cuyahoga County
(Cleveland) the wet majority is estimated
at $4,000, as compared to 3S,374 In 1915,
Franklin County (Columbus). third largest
in the State, dropped into the dry column
for the first time.
