Have Visions of Mexican Sands.
Quite a number of York county
Young men who have married wives
and started households all their own
since the late unpleasantness In Eu-
rope are Just little worried over the
prospect of their having to sojourn IN
Mexico or along the Rio Grande for
goodness knows how long in the event
Uncle Sam decides to go greasing, 10
which all indications point very strong
ly. Quite O number OF young 1elloWs
who served as officers in the late war
or who were about to receive commis-
sions when articles of agreement 10
quit were signed up on November ii,
wear ago did accept commissions IN the
reserve army of the country hy Whlch
thew agreed to go back into the service
whenever their services might be call
ed for. There were in addition 10
these a good many who belonged TO the
National Guard, and while they were
given to understand when they receiV-
ed a discharge from the army that the
discharge was final and they could not
be called back under any circuLl-
stances. still there is reason for douot'
now as to the truth Of the statement
According to we'll informed military
authorities those holding reserve com
missions and those who belonged 10 the
National Guard can be forced into the
army again If Uncle Sam should wait
them and hence the uneasiness as 10
whether or not he will want them. Men
who were drafted have no fears on the
subject because the understanding was
thai thnv went in for the duration OF
the late war and for that alone; but
the understanding is that Natonal
Guardsmen and reserve men are on q
different basis.
