Washington, Sept. 2. - Federal
troops from four camps. numbering
approximately four thousand men,
were at noon today either en- route or
in readiness to move to West Virginia
to enforce the decision of the federal
government to restore order in the
coal fields.
Orders for the movement of the
troops were issued early in the day
by Major General Harbord, assistant
chief OF staff, on recommendation of
Brigadier General Bandholtz, repre-
sentative of the war department in the
disturbed area.
A few hours later the war depart
ment was advised that the Twenty
sixth infantry had left its station at

Nineteenth infantry was en- route from
Camp Sherman, Ohio, to the coal
fields.
Shortly after this movement hal
gotten under way, two companies lef,

Camp Knox. Kentucky.
Another regiment, the Sixteenth
was ready in reserve at Camp Dix to
move Immediately on receipt of or
ders.
Martial Law Deferred.

ing the movement pointed out that
such action on the governments part
would be no childs play Secretary

sponsible for the disorder would vol
unfairly disperse.

West Virginia counties-was deferred

destination. It was indicated that the
presidential proclamation declaring
the rule of the military to be supreme
already drafted and signed. would
NOT be issued until sufficient forces
had arrived in the five counties to en-
force that rule.
General Bandholtz's message. sent
shortly after midnight on which the
troop movement was ordered. was
given out by the war department as
follows:
investigators returned about 1880
tonight. The invaders have not obey
ed President Harding's proclamation
and there is no apparent intention tc
do so. It is therefore recomm ende ed
that the troops now held in readiness
be sent to West Virginia without de-
lay"

GRIFFON CHAMPION
WILL BE IMPORTED
Winner of Derby Field Trials
in Germany Among Dogs
Purchased by American.
BY FRANK. +. DOLE.

What / said recently about the re-
covery of dog breeding in Germany since
the war is borne out by letter from
z. B. Ilyus Of Lancaster. Pa. Mr. Ilyus
received from friends in Germany a
catalogue for the 'jubilee exhibition
of the Frankfort on Main Kennel Club
at which more than 1000 dogs were ex-
hibited There are few shows in this
country which attract that number of
entries.
or this number 245 were hunting dogs
of various breeds. those which particu-
larly interested Mr.. Ilyus being the
thirty-four griffons. He IS an enthusi-
astic griffon man and succeeded in pur-
chasing Banco Won Fischsee. which won
many prizes in this show. Among the
special prizes this dog received were the
club medallion offered by the German
Griffon Club for the finest winner. the
club medallion offered by the same club
for the finest OF either sex in the open
classes under three years. a cash prize
for the finest dog In the field trial
winners class. a silver medallion of
fered by the Chemnitz club for the finest
dog in the winners classes and prize
of honor offered by the German Govern
ment for the best dog of all hunting
classes.
This last prize naturally is that OF
which Mr.. Ilyus is proudest. There were
245 entries for this hunting breed prize,
including Swiss dogs. German long
haired and short haired Weimaraner,
Griffons, Stichelhaar pointers, settlers.
dachshunds, fox terriers and Scottish
terriers.

NEY FILLY BEATEN IN THE TRAVERS AT SARATOGA

Baneo Won Fischsee will not be brought
TO this country until after the fall field
trials. to be held in September Last
year he was the winner of the Derby
the stellar eyert at these trials. When
he comes he will be accompanied by
Bella Won osterfeld, now less than a
year old, but which at the age of six
months won the special prize at the
spring field trials and won a second and
honorable mention at the Frankfort
show.
Mr.. Ilyus writes that 1t was through
Herr WinlSler, secretary-general OF the
German Griffon Club, that he was able
to obtain both these dogs. Herr Wink
Ter had selected Banco Won Fischsee for
his own use in hunting and breeding
but finally agreed TO part with him. He
also selected Bella Won Osterfeld for
Mr.. IIyus.
Perhaps IL may appear TO some that
have talked too much about this
breed. whioh as yet has comparatively
few followers here. However. this let
ter recalled TO my mind some or the
things about Griffons said to me by
William Tallman of. Pleasantville. y. X.
There is no better breed for a gentle
somewhat of the old New England hunt
ing dog.
They have not as yet come into their
own in the field trials here. which are
much too fast for the training they get
on the other side. AS a matter OF fact,
nobody could hunt behind the dogs en-
gagged in field trials as they are con-
Quoted here unless he had an aero
plane. / am glad to know, however,
that the interest in the breed is grGAy-
ing and that some of the best sort are
being imported for breeding here.
