MINUTE MEN TO
GUARD MEXICAN
BORDER Is PLAN
In Absence of Troops, Men of Ell
Paso to Respond to Defense
Call.

Eel Paso, Tex, June 30.-A Minute
Men organization ready to leave on a
moments notice in any emergency
wherein troops are called away from
Fort Bliss to foreign duty, is being
perfected by the army Y NJ c. A. in
the El Paso district. according to an
nouncement by f, c. Holloway, camp
general secretary, this morning.
Major A. ]. Strack Of the sanitary
coips called on Mr.. Holloway Thurs
day evening, and the two men went
over plans for the continuance of Y.
M. c. A. service to the troops even
in the event that it again becomes
necessary to leave the United
States.
The need for such service as the
y. M. c. A. provides the soldiers was
demonstrated during the trouble in
Juarez when several thousand Unit
ed States soldiers were out of the
United States for twelve hours, pur
suing Mexican rebels. In that time
practically all of the men ran out of
cigarettes, and similar conveniences,
and in the halts had no opportunity
to replenish their supplies because
of the absence of any canteen or well
fare service. The entry of four Y
M. C. A. men with the artillery and
cavalry near Washington park, was
the sole instance of welfare work
ers following the troops on the hot
trail, and even there, the notice was
SO sudden that insufficient equip
ment and preparation handicapped
the welfare workers efforts.
Mr.. Holloway has called a meeting
of the entire Y NJ c. A. staff in this
numbering considerably over
thirty men, and at this session will
designate two men to be constantly
to follow each regiment
across the border in case of necessi- |
ty, and to have sufficient equipment
and supplies ready to serve these
troops on every opportunity.
Mr.. Holloway has already wired
southern department Y. M. c. A. |
San Antonio. asking
for an appropriation of $1,000 for use
in emergencies, such as occurred last
Sunday night. This fund will be used
to meet such expenditures as will
inevitably occur when the Y M. c. |
A men attempt to provide the COM
forts and conveniences of civilization
at a distance from a home base.
