Tho Pennsylvania Railroad, which has
' promised an Indofl.ilto leavo' without pay,

during their period of service. Full credit
will' be given for tho tlmo on military duty
In computing their pension allowances.
Mayor Smith, In regard to city employes
tn the National Guard, said: . .
S "Any employe of tho city government
who, goes out to defend tne American Hag
will una hia place waiting for him when he
comes back. I cannot promise that thn city
will pay his salary to him while ho is gono,
but I Intend to discuss tho question with the
liw Department and Councils' Flnanco
Committee." .
Postmaster Thornton Is compiling a list
Of his men who aro connected with tho
militia. Ho estimates that 00 In thn tins.
'tal department aro members of the National
Quard. As tho Postmaster understood it,
.these men aro entitled to a leave of absenco
and their positions held open until they re
turn. Every man Is entitled to 30 daya"
leave with full pay every, year and also
10. days for sick leave with full pay. It
wis Mr- Thornton's view that these two
months will count in tho tlmo tho employes
are doing duty In the National Guard.
When it became likely that tho National
Guard might be called on to patrol tho
Mexican border, tho Western Union Tele
graph Company ' issued instructions that
any of Its employes who were included
among those called and havo been in tho
company's scrvlco a year or more, would
he entitled to half pay while doing military
fluty. This decision, however, was reached
with the proviso that their half pay, added
to tho Government pay, did not exceed their
full salary In the company. In such cases
they will bo entitled to an amount added
to the Government pay that will equal their
total compensation.
Full pay will bo given employes of tho
f,i ou roni i-owucr company lor tno tlmo tney
are in tne service ot the nation. An oraor
to that effect waa Issued yesterday at the

MT. GRETNA PREPARED
TO RECEIVE GUARDSMEN
Work Pushed at Camp on Nec
essary Arrangements and
Improvements
Work waa pushed this morning nt Mount
Gretna, the rallying ground of the Pennsyl
vania Guardsmen, in tho preparations to rc
celvo the vanguard of fighters, which may
leave the city this afternoon.
But two Improvements aro yet to bo mado
at tha camp, although, to all Intents and
purposes. It was In readiness for tho guards
man this morning. They are n new quarter
master's storohoU3o and two miles of water
pipe, to bo built so that tho guardsmen may
bo assured of clean drinking water.
Colonel Ij. V. nausch, Deputy Qunter
master General, began this morning to round
up a supply of carpenters nt nearby points
to rush to completion tho store house. At
tho same time, last-mlnuto preparations
wore being made to lay the water-pipe.
With theso two projects under way, tho
rest of' the cump, sanitary nnd healthy,
will safeguard tho men.
Tho altitude of the camp was declared
not too great to render the men unlit for
border duty today by veteran army olilcers.
This question had been raised following the
protest ot Governor Hatfield, of West Vir
ginia, against tho placing ot the West Vir
ginia camp high in tho moutnins. Uo said
It would place tho mon at n disadvantage
when they faced tho climate of tho border
region. ,
Tho first Hupplies for tho mobilization
camp will reach tliero Thursday looming
tho ilrnt of a virtually endless stream ot
commissary trains and trains with soldleni
that will pour Into tho camp which already
promises to be tho biggest In tho history
of the National Guard.
Tents for tho use of the command are
being pached In Harrlsburg today and will
lenvo for the camp early tomorrow morn
ing. Frivolity will be cast aside In view of
tho seriousness of relations with Carranzn.
"This will be a camp of no favors," raid
Colonel nausch today, "and tho men will
bo put through tho stlffest courso ot train
ing over meted out to ii National Guard
unit in Pennsylvania."
R0TAN BARES RECORD
OF CHILDREN IN CRIME
District Attorney Reports Res
cue Work Done by Municipal
Court
Sensnttonnl rcvc.Iatlons of the operations
of Junk dealers and disorderly house keep
ers, who led children Into erlmo In order
that they might profit by their acts, and
tho methods pursued to bring theso offend
ers to Justice, are contained In the annual
report of District Attorney Ilotnn, made
public yosterday.
As tho District Attorney points out, the
document Is no mere tabulation of tho num
ber of Indictments found during tho year.
It is an Intensely human document, for It
tells of the work of 'co-operation performed
by the department w(th the socinl welfare
organizations throughout tho city.
Mr. Itotan sets forth that sinco tho estab
lishment ot tho Municipal Court the powers
ot his ofllce have been greatly extended.
Accordingly, ho has been ablo to taltc nn
actlva part In the desertion and nonsupport
branches of this court, and. In accordance
with a decision of tho Supremo Court, In
the Domostlo Relations division also.
Under tho new condition of affairs, Mr.
Ilotan says he has assumed It to be his duty
to place before the Juvcnllo Court tho de
tails ot Juvenile crime and so far as possible
to care tor the Interests of tho offender. Ills
office also Is In active co-oporatlon with the
probntlon department of tho court and has
assisted In the formation of a "big brother"
movement, which seeks to supply a corps of
volunteers an nuxlllary to the ofllclal rep
resentatives ot the tribunal. By having an
Assistant District Attorney at all hearings
of the Juvenile Court tho District Attorney
thereby Is enabled tq nupcrvise prosecution
of adults who have contributed to tho de
linquency of children.
As an example of this, Mr. Kotan points
out a large number of successful prosecu
tions which have been conducted against tho
Junk dealers who Induced gangs of small
boys In various sections of the city to break
Into houses and steal fittings, which they
afterward purchased. This business, ho
says, was carried on with Impunity.
As an even more important example of
tho efficacy of the new system, he Bays a
great nuiuberof cases were brought against
keepprs of disorderly houses, where young
girls were permitted and encouraged to lead
Immoral lives. Tho Assistant District At
torney who attended hearings of such girls
was enabled to obtain first hand testimony
that led to the arrest and conviction of
the proprietors.
In the work of his department with the
Dpmestlc Relations Court. Mr. Ilotan says
many absconding husbands and fathers
have been brought back to their families.
He clte'a one example where a man was
arrested aq he was boarding a steamship,
bound for Europe, and another who was
nhnnt to buv a ticket for the Pacific coast.
He also has notified large munition manu.
facturera outside of thl State to retain
from the pay envelopes of deserting hus
bands a suiu sufficient to support their fam
ilies in 'tiila city.

CARRANZA IS TOLD

Pershing Curt in Reply to Threat
Which Mexicans Fail
to Back
FIELD HEADQUARTr.KSNEAn CASAS
GP.ANDKS, June 20. (by radio to Colum
bus, ,'. M.). Dotachmonts of our cavalry
working cast and wcrt of the lino ot com
munications in defiance of tho Carranza
order met no opposition. Supplies continue
to reach Colonla Dublnn by rail from
Juarez uninterrupted, either by natives or
de facto troops.
Reports persls' that the natives aro being
armed, but thcro Is no reliable Information
concerning concentration of any consider
able force of Currunza troops within strik
ing distance of the American line This
may bo due to the fact that General Persh
ing has sent word to Carranza leaders In
no uncertain terrrm that any such movement
would bo taken on their own responsibility.
Tho Carranza garrison at Catas Grandus;
from which place General Porshing'H head
quarters -vaH today but three tnllca distant,
haa not been reinforced.
News ' that the entire National Guard
had been called out was reported to tho
camp last night. General Pershing would
not comment. TJhe situation remains at
hair-trigger, but tho fact that Carranza has
made no move to enforce his demand thnt
our troops move north it at all, has caused
the belief In some quarters that ho Is
bluffing.
General Pershing's emphatic rotoft to
General Jacinto Trovlno, "I take orders
only from my Government; please make
that plain to General Carranza," elicited no
reply.
The American troops are now enduring
tho hottest days of the campaign. A few
drops of rain fell yesterday, but the rajny
season has not yet arrived.

HEXAMER CHALLENGES
CRITICS OF HIS POLICY
Says German-American Alliance,

A thorough Investigation by Congress of
the alleged disloyal conspiracies of tho Nn

an Investigation would end once for nil tho
slanderous attacks upon tho nlllabco.
Tho letter, which was written In reply to
a letter from Maurlco Leon, of New York,
to a newspaper, follows In pivrt:
'l beg leave to stnto that nny ono who
makes the assertion Hint the National Ger

ly through lis officers or agents has nl nny
tlmo had nny .communication with any Eu

"It Is high tlmo that loyal American citi

and who havo it perfect right to their opin

Knrolmcnt in the United States military
training camps imposes no new obliga
tions. The obligation to defend tho coun
try In case of need already rests on all
male citizens of military nee. Attendanco
at a military camp neither increases nor
diminishes tho existing obligation.
There Is a happy "Rot bar-it to nature for
n while" sentiment that promises "well for
n four-week "vacation" at the Plattsburg
camp. ,1. Walter Krller. '07. nnd Charles
II. Wetter, '10, Inviting graduates and stu
dents of Swarthmore College to attend tho
camp, suggested that:
"Physically, tho effect of outdoor life,
nourishing food, regular exercises, unlimited
swimming nnd Interesting work ure llttlo
short of marvelous,.
"Mentally, the subpcrvlenco of self, tho
Just discipline, tho association with young
men of your own typo from alt parts of
tho country, and the prevailing splrlt'of red
blooded sportsmanship and patriotism are of
Mist value.
"Tho cost for a month of enjoyment (at
such military camp) that you will remember
for lite Is less than what you would prob
ably spend In a week nt some summer re
sort." Tho objects of tho United States Military
Training Camps such as 'that at Plattsburg

deficiency In commissioned officers, Also;
"To foster n patriotic spirit and spread

policy and military needs, and not least, per

outdoor life tho habits ot obedience, dis
cipline, command and self Control that nre
the prerequisites of efficiency In every busi
ness or profession, and to send men back
from tho camps better prepared to tako
caro ot themselves and others."
The camps at Plattsburg will continue In
four-week periods until October 5. Tho
army bill beforo Conprcss provides that
the Military Tralnlns Camps bo conducted
by tho Wnr Department, with further pro
visions that tho expenses nro to bo met
