Many calls were re ceived from former members of the battery seeking to re-onllst. Some of these appli cations were accepted and It Is believed tho full was strength will be enrolled before Wednosdey morning. Tho ad Regiment, N. G. N. J., also located In Camden, has received no orders to mobil ise, but tho members are ready to respond as son as word Is received from Trenton that they aro wanted. That command, also, Is receiving apllacttons for enlistment and xpected to depart, when ordered with full ranks. RECALLS PAUL, REVERE. Member.3 of Battery B assembled at their armory In Camden In response to a call to ' arms that was dramatic and effective. Dash- 1 lng- over South Jersey roads on motor- ' cycles, bidding doflanco to speed regula- tlons In their haste to carry tho "red arrow" (to tho men of tho artillery command, modern Paul Roveres spread the Intelligence with ' almost llghtnlng-llka rapidity and far Into the early morning hours. As a test of tho efficiency of tho Jersey volunteer soldiery tho method of notifica tion was successful. As a molodrumatlo , Incident of modern military discipline and 1 system It was spectacular to all who wlt 1 nessed Its performance. Through CoIIIngs ,' wood, TVestmont, Haddonfleld. Haddon Heights, Audubon, Oaklyn and other Cam , den suburbs tho "flash In the dark" conveyed tho tidings to the home of every member of the battery living In those places, and the response was as prompt as the warning. It was tho famous ride of the Concord printer In 1775 down to date. Tho chugging motorcycle panted at tho door or gato of i the residence, the dust-covered rider swung out of the saddle, pounded on the door or rang the bell, shouted his message, and re- I mounted and was away again within a mat ter of seconds. Tho notification came to t .. .1 . nt...... li... In.,. , F1tin ,1...., ll.. rider was whirling through the streets nnd out Into the countryside within a few min utes. Before 2 o'clock tho most remote lestdlng officer and private bad been ap prised of the President's call. Where motorcycle service was not avail- able horses were pressed Into requisition . and the work of rousing tho batterymen ' was accomplished. CLATTER OP HOOF BEATS. "Tho clatter of hoof beats" and "the sparks struck out by the steeds In their I flight" brought the countryside to windows I nnd doors everywhere. But some refused to i be aroused with the mere clatter of horses' I hoofs on the stone and macadam highways, and some of the messengers returned to the armory In Camden this morning with bruised I knuckles from the poundings they had to do J at some of the homes. With the break of day, unllko that morn I lng 141 years ago; when the farmers turned i out In their working togs, spattered with ' mud from the fields, the streets of Camden i County towns were filled with trim, khaki . clad artillerymen, all heoded for the ' armory. Before 6 o'clock the artillerymen i were busy at their mounts. Those which j had been used In the all-night ride were rubbed down and the others prepared for strenuous duty during the day. At the same time rifle racks were opened and the big 3-inch guns were run out on the field adjoining the armory, where the, ! mechanism was carefully gone over. Every (wheel spoke was examined with as close care as the finest springs of the breech- ' block In the gun. Caissons and other para- i phernalla underwent the same close scrutiny. Camden's crack battery consists of four modern 3-inch Seld guns, 12 caissons, one battery wagon, one battery and storage wagon and four kit wagons. There are 125 men In the battery. The full strength la 171. Under the order Issued at mid- night last night by Adjutant General Sadler the battery will be recruited at once to full war strength. There are 14 Govern ment horses and six private mounts now ,t ths armory. The order also authorises the officers to purchase the remainder of the ,1S7 horses needed. These will-be 'bought aa far as possible in Camden and nearby. 1 The battery Is commanded by Captain S. (Barnard, of Wenonah; First Lieutenant ,8. R. English, of Camden; First Lieutenant 'John H, I'lttes, of Westvllla; second Lieu tenant Charles V. Dickinson, of Camden, and Second Lieutenant J. W. Wleks, of , Camden, , Governor Fielder. In a statement Issued last night, said: "The National Guard of New Jersey Is ready for the call. We ex pected something of this kind a year ago and prepared for It. We tll are prepared," t Adjutant General Sadler said: "We can to fully ready within IS hours, but this would require rush. We can be better pre- hpared to answer a call anywhere within tour to six days. Nevertheless, we will have our guard at Sea Girt within almo.it rcord ttme.

J., Juno 19. Governor Fielder, of New Jersey, called from his bed to received the official notification of tho order for mobilization enrly today, directed Brigadier General Edwin W. Hlno, commanding the 1st Brigade Infantry of New Jersey, to hresCk camp of the 200 offi cers of tho New Jcsey National Guard, who had assembled here for tho officers' camp of Instruction, which was to have opened this morning. General nine's announcement of tho Gov cnor's orders, which ho made from his headquarters, was received with a volley or cheers from tho officers. Tho General announced that It was his desire that every officer leave the encampment reservation before 9 o'clock this morning so there would hi no Interference with the preparations for tho general mobilization which Is to tako place hero Immediately. The news of the order for mobilization was first mado known to Governor Fielder. Adjutant General Wilbur F. Sadler and Brigadier General Ulne by a newspaper correspondent. It was more than flvo hours later that General Sadler, who had gono Immediately to Trenton by automobile, tele phoned tho official notice to Governor Fielder at the Little White House. Governor Fielder was notified five min utes after his return here from the Demo cratic National Convention nt St. Louis. Genoral Sadler, on the strength of tho news paperman's Information, at onco ordered his car nnd set out 10 minutes later for his offices nt Trenton, accompanied by Lieu tenant Colonel David Hill, of the quarter master's department, and Colonel John Rogers, chief clerk In the Adjutant Gener al's office. "The New Jersey National Guard will be found ready," said the Governor. "We ex pected a similar call about a year ago, and wo have beon In a stato of preparedness ever since." The order given early today by Ilrlgadler General Ulne was received with seriousness by the 200 officers in camp here, ofter the enthusiasm of tho first announcement had died away. A few Jocular remarks were heard, but for the most part the realization was apparent that the serious development for which the guardsmen have been waiting for almost four years had really become a fact Minds turned to business affairs and homes and on every hand the query was heard: "What can I do with my business? How about my family?" Notwithstanding the moro gloomy side of tho question, the officers set to work lo break their camp, and by daylight today camp rolls and equipment were all ready to be moved, to temporary storage quarters, whero they will await the return within a few days of the troops. The first departures were made half a hour after General HIne had made his announcement, when Colonel John D, Fraser, of the 1st Ileglment, of nirWJ? 1 K m 019 ww m4w ilmt I y JKrLrJ $w tup? w.tm $275 Per Carat Same Grade, Small Size 1-64 to 1-8 at $138 Carat Abtolutcly Perfect Tomorrow moraine we (hall offer a huudrtd or more carat; (if sbao luttly Ptttttf fimou Kline or Jacrrft kteol-bluo lilamond et toe nmorbablr low price of.SS13.0U a pa expen&ire anu rtirs r a by tbe xeocrol ,laa o( rir,l.

This left tho 2d and 3d actually unattached, but they have been kept up by tho Stato despite the refusal of tho Department of Militia Affairs of tho .War Department to support thorn. . . . It was rumored last night that General Hlne may not command the brigade, should It proceed to tho border for patrol duty. While the report could not bo confirmed In any quarters thero were many who cred ited It. The General's business interests are many and he Is advanced In years. Report has It that- If he drops out the gen eralship would fall to Colonel Albert Van Walraven. commanding tho DtlV Regiment of Faterson. and one of the ablest olilcera In the State organization. PHILADELPHIA CONGRESSMAN SUPPORTS WILSON'S STAND Congressman George W. Kdmonds. before leaving for Washington today, said that he would back up President Wilson to the fullest extent and hoped that the other members of the Philadelphia congressional delegation would take the same stand. "It Is the duty of every true American to back up President Wilson to the fullest extent." said Congressman Kdmonds. 'The United States must make tho Mexican Gov ernment respect our (lag and country. If it Is necessary to declare war and the President Is in favor, of it. I will stand by. him. In tho present crisis we 'must rally, about the President." Congressman John R. K. Scott said that President Wilson had adopted the right courso In calling out the mllltla. He said that politics must be forgotten at tho pres ent time and thnt every member of the House of Representatives should stand by the President. "I will support President Wilson In the present crisis," said Congressman Scott. "If the Mexicans are getting ready to fight we must be prepared for the attack." LEAGUE ISLAND CALM; NO SHIPS FOR MEXICO Not Enough Officers and Men There to Send Detail South No ship will sail from League Island for Mexican waters, because men and officers aro lacking. Officers n the navy yard took the an nouncement of tho calling out of the mllltla calmly this morning. There was no excite ment or bustle around the docks or bar racks. Men shrugged their shoulders and pointed out that'thcrn were but SCO marines at tho yard, one-tenth of tho -usual quota, 2000 being In Haiti. Forty per cent, of the men needed to place the ships at the yard on an cfficlent( footing wero thoro, and only 25 per cent, of officers aro In tho yard. Tho Alabama, flagship of the Atlantic reserve fleet, carries usually 40 olllcers; It has 10 at present. Tho Hc-idcrson, launched on Saturday, will not bo ready until fall; Its completion being dependent, also, on tho promptness of outsldo contractors furnishing tho material. Of tho reserve fleet, the Alabama, Illinois, North Dakota, Connecticut nnd Kentucky nre nt anchor at the yard, while the Rhode Island Is expected this afternoon. A lone watchman occupies the decks, en glno quarters nnd everything elso on the Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Mayrant, Mlaiitonomoh, Minneapolis and Terror. The destroyers Downcs, Harney, Benlc, Drayton and Henley are not In shape to bo used. Word was received at tho yard today of tho orders sending tho Dixie to Mexican waters. Tho ship left this port last week, destination unknown. MicKigan Will Send 2200 Men LANSING, Mich., June 19.

H A LLAA N ' S Style Comfort Long Wear At a Moderate Price MOBILIZATION STIRS SOUTH AMERICANS TO DISTRUST OF WILSON Great Mass of the People Fear President Is Planning for Territorial Expansion, Some Critics Say 'REAPING BLOOD HARVEST' By CIIAKLES P. STEWART BUKNOS A1KKS. Argentine, Juno 19. News of mobilisation of the American mllltla stirred Intense Interest nnd devel oped a wide difference of opinion in South America today. The great innsi of the peoplo In South America nre bitterly hostllo toward the sudden military nctlvlty In tho United Ktntes and loo!, upon the action of President Wil son with distrust. They fear that the United States, despite protestations to the contrary. Is planning territorial expansion. They believe 'that If the United States docs not actually, propose to extend its boundaries southward it certnlnly does propose to at tempt a paternal protectorate over Latin America. Such a protectorate would be viewed In South America merely as a dis guise for the first step toward aggression. ' Tho general opinion of the public Is ox pressed ns follows: "Americans In Mexico are now harvesting tho well-deserved result of their long meddling and Interference In Mexican af fairs. Tliey.are reaping tho harvest of blood, which Is the Inevitable fruit of their political nnd financial Intrigues. Now these plotters, caught In tho net of their own construction, are calling upon the Gov ernment at Washington to save them, even nt the cost of a long and terrible war." In official and aristocratic circles there Is evidence of a moderately trustful nttl tudo towurd President Wilson and u mild semlbellef in the disinterestedness of the United States. The nttltuda of tho aristoc racy is summed up In tho following com ment by a Government official: . "Wo do not distrust President Wilson, but our peoplo would be pleased with fresh guarantees, In stronger terms, that there will be no territorial acquisition In the event of actual war between the United States and Mexico." Intervention and war are considered the same thing and the situation is causing open anxiety. The failure of the A, U, C conferences at Niagara Falls Is recallcil, with but slightly concealed doubt of whole hearted co-operation on tho part of tho United States with tho Governments of South America. South American Governments undoubted ly will expect n new" declaration of pur poses from President Wilson In tho event of hostilities. Six Die in Fire in Liverpool Hotel LIVERPOOL, June 19.
