Mastering Out of
Battery B Delayed

Mastering out Of Battery B. the At
lanta artillery company, which was
scheduled to have been begun Monday
morning at O'Clock, has been post
poned until late Tuesday or .Wednes-
day on account of the delay in checking
equipment of the company in the
armory. Before the members are mus
tered out, each man must check his
equipment with the company command
ers, and this task is quite a voluminous
one
Lieutenant Colonel C. H. Preston. Of
the United States cavalry. is the senior
mastering officer. First Lieutenant O.
u Saunders. of the First infantry. Is
the junior mastering out officer. Major
Koerpper. Of the United States medical
CORPS, will supervise the medical inspec-
ton while Captain John H, Hammond,
of the field artillery Of the regulars,
will take charge of the inspection.
The inspection of the battery will
take place Thursday or Friday. This in
spection is the regular annual inspec-
tion which would have taken place even
if the battery had not been ordered to
the border.

ATLANTA is QUICK
TOPROVIDE JOBS '
FOR BATTERY BOYS
As Result of Appeal in News
papers, Nearly ALL Members
of Battery B Already Have
Positions

Atlanta's patriotic and civic spirit,
which never has been known to fail,
again has responded and as a result.
practically every member of the Battery
B, Atlanta's artillery company which re-
turned Friday night from the Mexican
border, either has secured a position
or has prospects of a position very soon.
AS the result of articles published by
The Journal and other Atlanta newspa-
pers requesting and urging employers
to find positions for the members of the
artillery who have spent the last nine
months in the service Of their country
and flag, a quick and generous response
has been made.
Captain a. j. Mcbride, of the artil-
lery stated Monday to The Journal that
practically every member of his COM
pany had obtained position and would
go to work as soon as the mastering out
process was completed.
81 have talked 10 most every member
of the company" said Captain Mcbride,
land from what 1 can learn there is no
man who will not be provided with
work Most of them, l would say the
great majority of them, will be restored
to positions they held prior to their
mobilization"
Even the boys who quit their posi-
tions last June, in the belief that they
had severed all connections with their
former positions, are among those who
will be reinstated.
THE Journal has done a great serv-
ice.
And the response of Atlanta in the
same vein that always has character
lied the Atlanta spirit, is something
highly commendable.'
The promptness and patriotism al
ready demonstrated by Atlanta employ
ers is accepted as a certain indication
that the members of the Fifth infan-
try, on their return within the next two
weeks from the border, will quickly be
provided with positions.

TREMENDOUS VOTE GIVEN
CARRANZA. FOR PRESIDENT
Provisional Ruler Sweeps Mex
leo in the Election Held
on Sunday
.(By Associated Press

MEXICO CITY, March 12.-General
Venustiano Carranza was elected presl-
dent of Mexico Sunday by what is be-
lieved to have been the largest vote
ever cast in the republic.
Although the voters had the privilege
Of writing in or declaring any name
they desired. General Carranza received
all but few scattering ballots. The
estimated vote cast runs all the way
from several hundred thousand to a
million.
The presidential election was provided
for in articles adopted by the constitu-
tional assembly which met at Queretaro.
Many OF the old residents declare this
was the first real election ever held in
the country. Reports from various parts
of the republic indicate that there was
no disturbance or intimidation.
Although there was no opposition for
the presidency, the congressional con-
tests were bitterly fought. Conditions
at the polls throughout the federal dis
trict were orderly and there was steady
stream - voters during the day. Troops
were not in evidence, the soldiers cast
ing their votes in their barracks.
Mexico will now have a constitutional
president for the first time since 1911.
when Francisco Madero received more
than 100000 votes. General Victoriano
Huerta called an election in 1914 and
declared himself elected, but later multi
fled the election on the ground that an
insufficient number of votes had been
cast.
The election marks the climax of
Carranza's efforts. He took the field
against Huerta February 10, 1918, after
Huerta had seized the. executive power
The election was simplified by the
fact that there is no vice president un-
der the new constitution. 1t Will be
some time, however, before the returns
of the congressional elections are def
initely known. although the candidates
on the ticket of the constituencies
liberal party, which first backed Car
rama, are running Strongly in most of
the districts.
