HANDLING OF U. S. TROOPS
WAS BEST IN ALL HISTORY

plimsnts American Railways.
MILITIA MOVED PROMPTLY
Splendid Results Attained by Cordial
Cooperation Of Railway En-
ployees and Officials With
War Department

Washington, D. Especial y
There has been no case in history
where troops have been as well han
died and cared for as in the move
ment to the Mexican border during
the summer Of 1916, says the annual
report Of the Quartermaster General
OF the U. s. Army, which has just
been made public.
On behalf Of the railways, super
vision Of moving the troops was in
the hands OF q special Committee on
Cooperation With the Military Author.
titles appointed BY the American Rail
way Association, ct the request of the
War Department, and composed OF
Fairfax Harrison, president of the
Southern Railway, chairman; R. H
Ashton, president Of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway; A. W. Thomp.
son, vice president Of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad; W. G. Besler, pres
ident of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey.
The report tells of the uniformly
excellent handling given troops and
supplies through the cooperation OF
railway officials and employees of ev.
cry rank with the War Department
officials. II states that to carry the
first 100000 Of the National Guard
moved to the border, $50 trains, which,
il combined, would have been nearly
90 miles long. were required, and that
they included 5000 passenger cars,
400 baggage cars, most of them equip
ped as kitchen cars for serving hot
meals en- route, 1900 box cars, 1000
stock cars, and 800 fat cars. Approx
tmately 1900 road locomotives and
crews had a part in handling this
movement, In addition to large num-
Der Of yard engines and crews.
Striking sentences from the report
are as follows:
Considering the great distances
travelled by the militia from the vari-
Gus camps to the Mexican border, the
fact that there was but a single &C
cident, and that of a minor character,
the celebrity with which the trains
we-e moved and the entire absence
OF congestion or delay, it is believed
that there has been no case in history
where troops have been as well and
safely transported or as well cared for
while en- route as in the recent mob
ilisation"
Every assistance possible was rem
dered the Government by officials and
employees of all railroads concerned,
from the presidents Of the companies
down to the minor employees"
Although the movement Of the Or
gsnized Militia to the border came
at a time when the commercial traf-
fe on railroads of the United States
was the largest in years, the trans
portation of the militia was performed
with very little interference with reg
ular train service and with no conges
ticn whatever, either at initial or ter
minal points or en- route"
1T is, of course. impossible to COM
pare the concentration of the United
States Militia on the Mexican border
with the mobilization in Europe in the
summer Of 1914 In Europe all civil
traffic was stopped and the entire

Commissioners IN
CHARGE Of THEIR
RESPECTIVE DESKS

The three city commissioners, in
charge Of their respective desks, have
settled down to business, and vester-
day things were moving along as
serenely at the city hall as ever.
Mayor Thomas Johnson, who is also
commissioner of streets, occupies the
mayors office, lately vacated by
Commissioner Hinrichs. The latter
now holds the title of commissioner
of taxation and revenue, has moved
his office to the cOmptroller's office,
where he viii have his headquarters
hereafter.
Commissioners Sanders, who is ac-
lively in charge of the fire and police,
occupies the office lately vacated by
the commissioner who has just retired
from public life. This is the office
between that of the mayor and thag
of the city clerk. The street com
missioner maintained d desk IN the
office of the clerk during the past
several years, but when he was elect
ed mayor he found it necessary to
spend practically his whole time when

city clerks office.
The two officials who were elected
to succeed others in the city depart
ments have not yet qualified. These
are Langley Bell, who succeeds Jas.
Largue as tax assessor, and Jos. A,
Hicks, who succeeds Jno. G. Welsh,
as tax collector. The new men have
not yet qualified. their bonds not vet
having been received. 1t is expected,
however, they will be ready to assume
offices not later than Monday of next
week.
Considerable speculation is being
INDUCED in relative to the possible
changes in the other untitled offices.
These e1e the building inspector, the
plumbing inspector, the city engineer
and the recorder. Many names are
heard in connection with each office,
reports having it that the plumbing
and building inspectors will ne con

man will be in charge.

EIGHT PORKERS
CAUGHT BY POLICE

Eight head of hogs were corralIed
by the police at s o'clock Wednesday
morning. Seven of the porkers were
later claimed by D. Gamlin, who paid
pound fees of 81 each for them and
carried the hogs back to his home
just outside the city limits. The
eighth was claimed by l.. Braswell, a
peddler, who visited the police station
early in the morning and paid the
pound fees. He was not ready to
take the animal home just then. but
at 80 o'clock returned to the station
and went to the pound lot. The hog
was dead, due to the heat. it is
thought. Mr.. Braswell claimed that
he should be paid for the hog, saying
the police department was responsible
for its death.

the luncheon yesterday at Hughey's

sand dollars had been asked for the
building of quarters in France for the
reception of our own American SOL

$500 which will be divided among the
divisions later.

teams will have q total of $4,000 to

PENSACOLA PILOT
HAD FINE TRIP

When the American steamship By
Iavl left here a short time ago for
an Atlantic port, Pilot Nelson was
at the wheel. When the ship was
abreast of the sea buoy it was too
rough for the pilot to be taken off and
the ship was too valuable to be de-
tanned, so the pilot went on to the
destination of the ship, at a port in
Virginia.
One of the pleasantest of trips was
enjoyed, said Capt. Nelson, upon his
return here. He said that Capt.
Mason, in command of the Bylayl,
was 'the incest man ever met, and
l never enjoyed a voyage better. I

GERMANS ARREST
 AROUSES INTEREST

JUNEAU, Aug. 16.-Considerab ble speculation surrounds the arrest of William Mueller. a German, on the charge of selling liquor to Indians, and some claim a more serious charge may arise.
 Mueller is held at the federal jail, and his arrest was not given any pub licity by the federal authorities. It is claimed in some quarters that Muel- Ter is suspected of being an alien en- emy of the United States. However, friends of Mueller claim he has strict ly observed the proclamation of Pres. ident Wilson directed to alien enem. ies regarding keeping their mouths closed.
 Last night the Dispatch was un. able to get in communication with U. S. Attorney Smiser, whose office is in charge of federal prosecutions Inquiry at the federal jail also fail. ed to disclose any information.
 Mueller was a former employe of the Messerschmidt bakery. Later he worked at Perseverance.
 At late hour last night the Unit ed States Marshals office gave out a statement that no further charge had been preferred against Mueller other than that of whisky-peddling.
 It is known that all federal author ities in Alaska are exercising great diligence in keeping a lookout for any citizen of enemy countries who may conduct themselves in an unbe- coming manner at this time. The movement of numbers of enemy ali. ems to the North from the States dur ing the past few weeks has not escap- ed the notice of officials here or below and anything arousing suspicion is be- ing quietly but thoroughly scrutiniz- ed-Juneau Dispatch.
